High Voltage Technology for Maritime Industry

This course equips marine engineers with the knowledge and skills required for the operations, maintenance and safety of electrical power plant/equipment of 1,000V or above on-board ships. It covers the requirements of STCW Code, Chapter III, Section A-III/1 and A-III/6 for the operational level of Junior Engineer Officers and Electro Technical Engineer Officers. It also covers Section A-III/2 and Section B-III/2 for the management level of Senior Marine Engineer Officers.
