The course is an introduction to the operation and utilisation of twin-screw conventional propulsion systems commonly found on offshore vessels.

The participant will be provided the underpinning knowledge regarding the different advantages and hazards of twin-screw conventional propulsion.

Practical exercises will give the participants an appreciation of the use of azimuthing propulsion, to efficiently and safely manoeuvre a vessel.

The aim of the training programme is to introduce participants not familiar with twin-screw conventional propulsion and increase the safe manoeuvring and navigation of such vessels in an offshore environment.

At the end of the course the participant will be aware of:

  • Different types of twin-screw conventional propulsion and rudder arrangements
  • Different types of controls
  • Advantages and disadvantages of twin-screw conventional propulsion

The principles of using twin-screw conventional propulsion for berthing, un-berthing, and close quarter manoeuvring.
