What will I learn?
- 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.
- 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)
