This training program is a combination of theoretical lecturing, instruction and practical training in the simulator on either conventional or Azimuthing propulsion tugs.

Some examples of the topics addressed during this course are:

  • Connecting at high speed
  • Coping with and avoiding the influence of ship/tug interaction
  • Getting more insight
  • Speeding up your manoeuvres
  • Dealing with push pull at speed
  • Avoiding donkey effects

By limiting the number of candidates on a course each candidate will benefit from the maximum hands-on time in the simulator
