Course Description

This course forms part of the proposed Modular Framework under STCW for vocational and professional qualification based on a degree program in Navigation Engineering. The course helps students an in-depth expertise of managing merchant vessel as a Deck Officer and ultimately as the captain of the vessel. The emphasis is upon general definitions and specifications of the ship, and general navigational terms in English.

Course Objectives

To describe ship and ship types
To teach terminology about structure and main parts of a ship, directions on board (holds, hatches, pipe system and tanks, bridge, accommodation, engine room)

III. To explain general maritime terms and to teach general maritime terminology ( ship’s motions, shore structures etc.)

IV. To explain and teach terminology about the measurement of the ships (Tonnage)

V. To teach the basic ship organization, names of crew and job descriptions

VI. To explain the anchoring terminology and deck equipment

VII. To teach the names and the functions of the mooring lines

VIII. To teach standard helm and engine orders.

Course Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully pass the course will acquire and will be able to use necessary maritime terminology as listed below:

I. Ship types and nautical terms

II. Structure and main parts of the ships

III. General Maritime Terminology

IV Measurements of a Ship

V. Organization of a Ship

VI. Anchoring Terminology and deck equipment
