Syllabus

Technical management of the onboard plants (M.1/M.2/M.3): scheduled maintenance activities; automatic and remote controls; safety procedures during the engine watchkeeping.

Scheduled maintenance and fixing operations (M.4/M.5/M.6/M.7): emergency or temporary fixings of the ship onboard plants; dismantling, assembly, tuning and fixing of the onboard machinery and equipment; employment of special utensils and measure instruments to tune, assemble, dismantle and fix the onboard machinery and equipment; maintenance and fixing of the electric equipment, switching panels, electric motors, electric AC and DC plants.

Mechanical operations (M.8/M.9/M.10): rmployment of manual utensils, shapings and measure instruments; employment of sealants and packaging; procedure to carry out a safe maintenance of the onboard machinery and equipment.

Emergency technical management of the ship (M.11): technical management of the ship in case of fire or accident, with particular reference to the oil plants.

Theoretical reminder of hydraulics and hydraulics, of the basic characteristics of on-board systems and pumping systems.

Deals with the basic elements concerning the technical management of the ship plants, with particular reference to the scheduled maintenance activities of the ship onboard plants, the safety procedures and the emergency fixings, as well as the technical management of the ship in case of fire or accident. A significant part of the course is devoted to practical laboratory activities by means of ship plant and engine simulators.
