Short description

The Ballast Control Operator (BCO) or MOU Stability course, approved by LISCR (Liberia Government), provides essential training for managing ballast systems and ensuring the stability of Mobile Offshore Units (MOUs). This course covers critical areas such as ballast system operations, stability principles, and emergency procedures. Participants gain practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to maintain vessel stability and safety under various conditions. With LISCR's endorsement, this course meets international maritime standards, making it a valuable credential for professionals seeking to advance their careers in the offshore and maritime industries.

Requirements

One year of service aboard MOUs including at least two months of service as a trainee under the supervision of a certified ballast control operator.
Hold a Bachelor of Science degree from a recognized school of technology and have at least two months of service as a trainee under the supervision of a certified ballast control operator;
Complete an industry accredited MOU course that addresses those subjects defined in Section 6.4 of IMO Resolution A.891(21)
Certificate of completion of a DCO approved radar course if the MOU, which the seafarer is employed aboard, is radar equipped and the minimum safe manning certificate mandates that these deck officers hold radar observer certification

Outcomes

1. Understand fundamental maritime terms: displacement, draught, trim, heel, freeboard, etc.
2. Grasp stable, unstable, and neutral equilibrium.
3. Comprehend center of gravity, buoyancy, meta center, and their impact on stability.
4. Apply moment theory to stability, considering heavy lift movement and free surface effects.
5. Manage weight distribution and calculate center of gravity shifts.
6. Interpret inclining experiment reports and mooring system effects.
7. Address trim changes, longitudinal stability, and dynamic factors like rolling and angle of loll.
8. Utilize hydrostatic curves and deadweight scales for stability assessment.
9. Apply stability knowledge to practical scenarios:
10. Assess deck loads and ballasting systems.
11. Respond to system failures and implement damage control procedures.
12 .Consider environmental conditions and unit limitations.
13. Identify zones of reduced stability and implement precautions.
14. Execute emergency procedures.
