Course Description

This course covers all the requirements concerning maintainance of a safe engineering watch such as precautions before undertaking the watch duties, the tasks to be done during the watch, how to address an emergency or malfunctions and others. Engine Room Resource Management (ERM) is an approach to fullfil the safe engineering watch and this was newly introduced into the competence table A-III/3 of the STCW Code in 2010. ERM must be applied to all procedures/processes concerning these precautions and tasks including personnel management, equipment management and information management which contain many human elements. There are guidelines for watchkeeing and ERM principles in the STCW Code and these are also learned in this course and it should be identified what the most important thing is during the  engineering watch. In addition to the issue concerning the engineering watch, a noon report, watch report/log, and functions of a data logger as a monitoring system are also included in this course.

Course Objectives

1. To enable students to understand the requirements for maitaining a safe engineering watch stipulated in the STCW Convention and Code.

2.To enable students to understnad precautions and preparations before undertaking the watch

3.To enable students to understand how to maintain the watch including tasks/duties to be done during the watch

4.To enable students to understand correlations between engine output, speed, fuel consumption and distance run

5.To enable students to understand the meaning of ERM and ERM principles

6.To enable students to understand human elements concerning ERM

7.To enable students to fill in noon log and watch report/log

8.To enalbe students to understand configuration, functions and system components of a data logger
