The Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) is an essential tool required for all ships and offshore installations engaged in international voyages, with the aim to promote safety and environmental protection. It not only identifies but also quantifies all hazardous materials onboard that pose a risk to people, property, and the environment. This comprehensive document includes materials such as asbestos, ozone-depleting substances, lead-based paint, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). The development of an IHM involves the intensive surveying of a vessel or installation by experts to ensure compliance with regulations. Its implementation helps to carefully manage these harmful substances during operational life and eventual disposal or recycling of a ship or platform.

Heavy weather is a major cause of delays and damage in the maritime industry. This costs time and money as well as adds risks to the crew in terms of injury or potential loss of life to the severity of the weather and the effects it has on the vessel.

This course introduces the meteorology behind heavy weather across the world's oceans and how to monitor and predict it at sea. You will then explore how passage planning and monitoring can then be influenced by heavy weather, and how routing systems can be utilised to keep the vessel safe. Finally, you will look into the methods of navigating in heavy weather, including bridge management and the use of radars in rain.

An Oily Water Separator (OWS) is a piece of equipment used on board almost all marine vessels. It is used to separate oil and water mixtures into their separate components. They are found on board ships where they are used to separate oil from oily waste water, such as bilge water before the waste is discharged into the environment. These discharges of waste water must comply with the requirements laid out in MARPOL 73/78.

During this course, you will gain an understanding of Oily Water Separator (OWS) operations, and the working principles of the separator, including the Oil Content Monitor (OCM). You will also explore the sources of oily water, the regulations associated with discharging waste water, and the maintenance of OWS.
