«TOTS 1C-Engine Room Operations during Manoeuvring» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. The test provides advanced theoretical and practical training vital for marine engineers and other personnel involved in engine room operations on any type of vessel. The subject focuses on the critical aspects of managing engine room systems during complex ship maneuvers, such as docking, undocking and navigating in confined waters. Participants gain in-depth knowledge of how different maneuvering conditions impact engine performance, fuel consumption and overall system stability. A core component of the training involves understanding and responding to the dynamic changes in engine load and cooling requirements during these operations. Trainees learn to optimize engine settings and manage auxiliary systems to ensure reliable and efficient performance while maintaining safety. Emphasis is placed on effective communication and coordination between the bridge and the engine room team. Practical exercises, often using simulators, allow participants to apply their knowledge and develop their skills in a realistic environment. Participants learn to anticipate potential problems and execute timely corrective actions during critical maneuvering phases. The training is essential for minimizing the risk of equipment failure, optimizing fuel efficiency and ensuring the safe and effective maneuvering of the vessel. Successfully test completing enhances the competence and confidence of engine room personnel, contributing to safer and more efficient maritime operations.
