Course description
The course is designed to enhance the skill and knowledge of engineers about modern LNG powered Dual fuelled engines. It consists of theoretical lectures supplemented with exercises on a Win GD DF engine with UNIC control simulator.
Facility
The Institute conducts the theory class in-house, and the engine simulator exercises are conducted on a full mission DF Engine Simulator at IMU Mumbai Port Campus. LNG bunkering procedure is also simulated for familiarizing with the behavioural characteristics of a ship’s equipment.
Objective
To close the gap between the conventional liquid fuelled engines and dual fuel LNG powered engine operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, thereby leading to the efficient and safe operation of the modern vessels.
All Marine Engineers, Tech Superintendents and Electro-Technical officers, who wish to improve their skills, knowledge and understanding of the operating principles & procedures applied to modern Dual fuel powered.
The ECDIS support cell is a dedicated team within FMTI that provides technical assistance to our bridge teams who may have issues related to ECDIS, ENCs or similar navigational processes. It also provides guidance to crew for PSC and vetting inspections and oversees the 'management of change' for dual ECDIS vessels or during new ECDIS installation onboard.
To teams onshore, it provides support in drafting policies, analysis of vetting findings and incident investigation.
From time to time, the ECDIS support cell provides insights to key policymakers and industry stakeholders from UKHO, IHO and INTERTANKO to ECDIS manufacturers and ENC suppliers.
In parallel, the team provides bespoke training to class surveyors and auditors and has been a recipient of the Navigational Safety Award at the First World ECDIS Day.
