Introduction
Students completing this unit will identify the considerable changes taking place in shipbuilding practice with the development of technology and the changes in the rules governing their construction and operation. The unit further focusses on the knowledge and skills needed in maintaining the vessel's seaworthiness to Class recommendations. It also incorporates a ship master's perspective in understanding the operation of the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery and responding to consequences in the event of machinery malfunction.
The unit will build on the knowledge attained in Shipboard Operations II of the second year of studies.This unit meets the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime Training Package TDM60407, the STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments) and Table A-II/2 of the STCW code.
