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

I.  To describe ship and ship types

II. 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

Ship’s organization , crew of a ship, job descriptions on board Measurements and tonnage of a ship

VI. To explain the anchoring terminology

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

VIII. To teach standard helm and engine orders.
