Objective This course provides the underpinning maneuvering and ship handling knowledge and skills for Deck Officers on board offshore support vessels. The course prepares deck officers for on board training to meet the training requirements of STCW 2010 Section B/V (e). Participants The course is designed for Deck Cadets and Deck Officers new to the offshore industry and unfamiliar with the maneuvering characteristics of offshore support vessels. Course Content Students completing this course will assimilate theoretical knowledge and gain practical skills to support their on board training to maneuver offshore support vessels safely and close to MOU, FPSO and other offshore installations. Course participants will:

• Review of ship handling theory, including application of the pivot point. • Planned approaches to offshore facilities. • Risk assessment and planning for entering the 500m safety zone. • Review machinery and power requirements in various situations/operations. • Introduction to joystick maneuvering and change-over procedures. • Review causal factors in previous OSV maneuvering incidents/accidents. • Conduct after action review of simulation cases/feedback.

Participants will undertake maneuvering operations in the simulator using conventional and azimuth drive propulsion systems, as well as tunnel thrusters and azimuth thrusters. Course Pre-requisites Participants must hold, or be undertaking training towards a minimum of Deck Watchkeeper Certificate or equivalent. Participants may benefit from having some previous offshore experience. Language, Literacy and Numeracy Requirements There are no specific LL&N requirements for this course. The course is delivered in English.
