Why Choose this Training Course?

This PetroKnowledge training course is designed to introduce and enhance the knowledge and basic principles and concepts of marine engineering for those new to the vessel, offshore and shipping industry or those requiring a greater level of understanding.  This training course will benefit basic level; project managers, soft skilled employees and back office management wishing to have a greater understanding of marine engineering principles, concepts, procurement, marine engineers and marine response teams with techniques, procedures and resources to manage and understand the aspects of marine mechanics in a maritime environment.

The operation, maintenance and repair of these engines and components depends on many factors – including wear down, poor repairs and diagnostic faults, poor maintenance, fuels and lubrication. Results of analysis of casualties and accidents show that in one third of all, that human error is involved, and the same amount of damages is attributed to the poor education and specific training standards. 

This training course covers these aspects from both basic and intermediate levels of experience. This PetroKnowledge course provides the basic and some technical instructions regarding mechanical wear down, piston and bearing failures, exhaust and valves, engine checklists, engine vulnerabilities and the internal mechanics of combustion engines and its components in a marine environment.

What are the Goals?

Master and understand the necessary knowledge and complexities of:

  • 4 and 2 stroke marine engines
  • How to determine failures and diagnose faults
  • Successfully operate and manage engines in a marine environment
  • Equip and Lead individuals and response teams with techniques, procedures and resources to manage technical Main Engine and Aux services and repair in a maritime environment
  • Marine Engine Components and seals
  • Educate your team in pumps, failures and maintenance best practices
  • Diesel Fuel and Petrol driven mechanical operations and mechanics
  • The correct use of Lubrication and Oils, purification
  • Mechanical and wear down of 4 and 2 stroke engines and analysis
  • Piston and Bearing - lacquering and wearing of 2 and 4 stroke engine components
  • Fuel and oil line head pressure
  • OEM, Turbo servicing and failures
  • Exhaust, inlet and values in 4 and 2 stroke general arrangements
  • Engine Checklists and vulnerabilities

Who is this Training Course for?

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The training methodology will incorporate both theory and skill training components, utilizing both traditional lectures, as well as hands-on exercises, group discussions and case studies. Delegates are also trained in the technical operation, construction, configuration and operation of propulsion systems, stern tubes and shafting arrangements.   The trainer uses factual case studies and exercises along the way to cement participants’ newly acquired skills and help them apply them to real situations.

Organisational Impact

The 5-Day training course will provide direct organisational benefits through improved project management knowledge and practices. By applying the methods learned and practiced during the course, organisations will be able to:

  • Adapt their strategies and practices around the constraints due to a lack of understanding between engineers and office administration, procurements and non-technical staff
  • Improve their delivery and knowledge
  • Increase the efficiency of back office management teams
  • Achieve objectives through accurate, analysis and control
  • Develop new clients and expand your portfolio with existing clients
  • Enhance their non-marine engineer’s knowledge base

Personal Impact

Participants will develop additional and valuable skills, essential not only to back office and soft skilled management, including:

  • Learning to improve the speed and efficiency of delivery in all projects
  • Refining their planning and estimating techniques
  • Enhancing their integrated team management skills
  • Developing key attributes required of a Management Professional
  • Becoming an indispensable team member and leader
