This 10-day course presents theories and practices of seamanship and shiphandling. Topics that will be included are: maneuvering of vessels, propulsion and steering systems, interaction between vessels and/or constraining channels, and the use of tugs, mooring, anchoring, and port arrival/departure. Studies will also address wire rope, lines, towing, salvage, heavy weather, emergencies such as loss of steering, and special situations encountered by vessels. Simulators and vessels will be used in lab exercises to allow the student to apply the shiphandling and seamanship theories. A key aspect of the course is an assessment of the student’s ability to properly process and utilize information needed by the deck officer to safely operate a vessel under a variety of situations. This will provide students with advanced knowledge and application of forces, turning and stopping review, traffic separation schemes and VTS, pilot station maneuvers and heavy weather with search & rescue. Also included is review of pivot point and transverse thrust, propulsion and rudder systems, docking and undocking, and drydocking. The objective of the course is to provide students with theory and training in Shiphandling and in doing so satisfy company, national and international regulations for candidates for certification as master or chief mate as follows:
1.STCW Code A-II/2 Maneuvering and Handle a Ship in all Conditions; and
2.USCG 46 CFR 10.910 Table 10.910-2 Ship Maneuvering and Handling.
Upon completion of this course, the students will be knowledgeable of and have a proficiency in the following areas:
1.Approaching pilot vessels;
2.Ship handling in restricted waters;
3.Constant rate of turn techniques;
4.Maneuvering in shallow water;
5.Interaction with bank, canal, ship and tug;
6.Berthing and Unberthing;
7.Anchoring; Dry-docking;
8.Handling Ships in Heavy Weather, and
9. Navigating in or near ice.
Any applicant who has successfully completed your 80-hour Advanced Shiphandling course will satisfy the Advanced Shiphandling training requirements for STCW certification as Master or Chief Mate on vessels of 500 or more gross tonnage (ITC). The practical assessments in this will be accepted as the equivalent of the following assessments from the National Assessment Guidelines for Table A-II/2 of the STCW Code: M-3-1A; M-8-1A; M-8-2A; M-8-3A; M-8-4A; M-8-5A; M-8-6A; M-8-6B; M-8-7A; M-8-8A; and M-8-9A.
