Course Description

In recent years there has been a lot of deliberations and research done on bulk-carriers and their structural  strength (rather weakness) and safe cargo operations and carriage of cargoes in bulk. This course covers the IMO STCW A-II /1 and A-II /2 training requirements on Safe Handling and Stowage of Bulk Cargoes and is also based on DNV’s course on Bulk Carrier Inspection. It covers all aspects of Bulk Carrier Safety Practice, and RightShip RISQ for bulk cargo operations.
