How to become
a Chief Engineer
Demand is rapidly outstripping the availability of qualified
engineers to manage the maintenance of modern vessels,
which are powered by an increasingly sophisticated range
of electrical, electronic and engineering equipment.
There are three clear pathways for engineering personnel.
For students aged 16 and above, there is the officer
cadetship progressing to officer of the watch via a
Foundation Degree or Higher National Diploma/Certificate
pathway. The second route enables experienced merchant
seafarers to progress from rating to officer certification, via
EOOW, second engineer and chief engineer programmes.
For the commercial yacht industry, the academy also
offers a third progression route, leading to Chief Engineer
(Yachts) via a series of approved courses. These are known
as Y4 less than 200GT to Y2 less than 3,000GT, and are
modular programmes for experienced seafarers and are
structured to offer continuous development.
Marine electro-technical officers (METOs) should have the
opportunity to develop their careers along a professional
electrical engineering path, perhaps leading to the rank
of Chief Electro-Technical Officer, Chief Technical Officer
or Electrical Superintendent (company dependent).

Professional Development – Ship Simulation
Course duration: Up to 5 days
This course is designed and conducted in close liaison with
clients, ensuring that a bespoke product is delivered
in order to meet your company’s exacting demands in
terms of procedures and drills.
The time that a pilot spends on board a vessel is usually
at the most critical phases of a voyage, such as the start
and the finish. During these periods the opportunities
for events to be clouded with hyperactivity, excessive
communication, close-quarter traffic and berthing
encounters are all too plentiful.
This course helps to combat these issues through the practice
and sharing of experiences and techniques. An examination of
current methodology for transits, anchor manoeuvres,
berthing and unberthing on the Full Mission Bridge Simulator,
in varying conditions of tide, wind and visibility, is designed
to provide pilots with opportunities to practise their skills
in a challenging, though realistic, environment.
FPSO/SBM Berthing Master Training
Crew Resource Management
The purpose of this course is to introduce the main tenets
of resource management and to provide a training
environment where you can develop their non-technical
skills in order to enhance the operational safety and
efficiency of company vessels.
The course is designed for mixed groups of deck and
engineering officers. The optimum numbers are between
four and six officers of each discipline per course.
58
The academy has been involved with the floating production
storage off-loading (FPSO) and single buoy mooring (SBM)
area for many years and the training is particularly aimed
at the berthing and mooring masters' disciplines. We are able
to simulate berthing and un-berthing at SBMs, and both
spread-moored and turret-moored vessels.
Environmental changes can be added and can include
current, wind regimes including passing squalls, sudden
changes in wind, and failures and emergencies. We are also
able to include tugs if required. The training conducted can
be tailor-made for experienced berthing masters or those
new to the role.
Full mission simulator
consultancy/research
The use of simulation for maritime education and training
is a key component of our services. In reviewing additional
areas upon which simulation technology can be brought
to bear, the fields of consultancy and research apply the
knowledge and skills from our core business.
Our long history of using simulation to establish and/or
broaden corporate expertise has been employed in areas
ranging from high-end research projects such as Project
HORIZON, which examined the cause and effect of
fatigue in seafarers, to port development, accident
investigation and ship design/handling.
“
The research carried out on Project
HORIZON has provided a scientific basis for
fatigue mitigation programmes. MARTHA aims
to take this data forward and produce models
and recommendations that can be used to
benefit the welfare of seafarers, increase the
shipping industry’s management of fatigue
and increase maritime industry safety.
Professor Mike Barnett,
project leader for MARTHA

The main principles of resource management relate
to the non-technical skills associated with the social
interaction between team members, situation awareness
and decision-making. This is a high commitment, complex,
simulated working environment.
The learning objectives of this course cover all the
requirements of the Manila STCW 2010 Amendments,
including the addition of competence in Table A-III/2 of
'Use leadership and managerial skills'. The course syllabus
60
and material is relevant, current and appropriate,
and reflects industry best practice.
The course works best with a team of varied ranks and we
recommend a complete engine room team of chief
engineer, first/second engineer, second/third engineer and
third/fourth engineer. The course normally accommodates
a maximum of four officers and a minimum of three.
Steam Propulsion Plant Operations
The majority of steam turbine-propelled vessels are
liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers. These vessels are
at present in the minority, relative to the world fleet.
However, indications forecast a significantly large increase
in these types of vessels.
Engineering Officer Assessments
(Pre-Employment or Pre-Promotion)
The Steam Propulsion Simulator at the academy is
a control room mock-up which can accommodate four
students. The control room is arranged to produce a true
working environment with four stations, each one being
able to call up any specific part of the system.
This course is designed to assess the competence of senior
engineering officers prior to them being employed or
promoted by a shipping company.
The simulator can be operated individually or as a team.
The system depicts a single screw two-stage turbine and
double reduction, articulated gearing system, nitrogen
purging and gas detection.
The course can be delivered at any venue, operating
on a network of laptop PCs to suit clients’ requirements.
Candidates for assessment are presented with a range
of challenging scenarios and their performance is assessed
throughout the course. Shipping companies can provide
their own safe operating procedures to be followed during
the course if they wish, or the academy’s own procedures
can be used.
A minimum of three engineering officers is required to run
the course and the maximum number is four. Assessments
can be undertaken on any number of the candidates
attending the course. A written assessment report is
produced and sent to the shipping company for each
of the candidates being assessed.

Liquid Cargo Operations
Simulator (LICOS)
LNG Tanker Operations (Membrane)
All of our Liquid Cargo Operations Simulator (LICOS) courses
meet the requirements of STCW at management level. They
follow a logical voyage cycle, with cargo operations
conducted in real time. The use of real time improves the
authenticity of the simulation, and the exercises are designed
to cover the most critical parts of each operation, such as
loading and topping off of cargo tanks.
The course meets the requirements of STCW and IMO
Model Course 1.36. It is based on a 136,000m3 LNG carrier
with a GTT MkIII membrane and steam propulsion system.
The vessel leaves a shipyard with cargo tanks containing
only dry air, and follows a voyage cycle during the course
of the week. This includes initial inerting of inter-barrier
spaces, cargo tanks and pipelines, gassing up of cargo tanks
and lines, cooling down, loading, gas burning on a loaded
voyage, discharge (with or without shore vapour return),
cargo tank management on a ballast voyage and the
pre-docking operations to gas-free the vessel.
Each operation is preceded by a briefing which discusses
the underlying principles behind the operation, the
equipment to be used within the operation and the
practical application of the principles to conduct the
operation. You then take the theory and put it into
practice by conducting the operation yourself. There
is also an option to tailor courses to suit specific
company requirements if desired.
Each operation is preceded by a briefing to discuss the
operation and the equipment to be used. The detail and
level of demonstration prior to conducting the operation
varies, depending on student experience. The course does
not include any formal assessment but it does conclude
with a debriefing from the instructor to consolidate the
learning experience.

integrated, multimodal, door-to-door logistics approach,
such knowledge becomes increasingly important.
Studied at Southampton Solent University, this
intellectually challenging course will equip you with the
skills and knowledge you’ll need to operate successfully
within this dynamic industry
You’ll gain a detailed understanding of the operations and
strategies of shipping as a single transport mode within
the context of international multimodal logistics. In
addition, you’ll benefit from Southampton's position as a
major centre in the UK and European shipping sector, with
visits to the Port of Southampton and other relevant areas.
“
The master's course provides a scholarly
mix of theoretical lectures and practical and
professional activities, such as expert seminars
and simulation exercises in other maritime
environments.
