«TOTS 1B-Engine Room Operations – Manoeuvring» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. The subject is an essential part of advanced maritime training for engine room personnel. It provides a deep understanding of the engine room’s role in vessel manoeuvring. The course focuses on the operation of propulsion systems and auxiliary machinery during critical manoeuvring operations. Participants learn how to respond to varying operational demands, such as speed adjustments and directional changes, from the engine room perspective. Practical sessions simulate real-world scenarios, allowing trainees to practice engine room manoeuvring under controlled conditions. The training emphasizes the importance of communication between the engine room and bridge teams for effective vessel control. Safety measures and emergency protocols specific to engine room operations during manoeuvring are thoroughly covered. By the end of the course, seafarers are equipped with the skills needed to manage engine room operations confidently during vessel manoeuvres.
