ECDIS er et pc-basert navigasjonsverktøy som kan brukes som et alternativ til tradisjonelle papirkart, såkalt papirløs navigasjon.

ECDIS og elektroniske kart (ENC) er en total forandring fra å navigere med tradisjonelle papirkart, med mange fordeler og nye muligheter. Brukt på riktig måte kan ECDIS være med på å sikre og effektivisere dagens ”moderne” navigasjon. På den annen side så er det mange nye utfordringer. Manglende kunnskap om ECDIS og om kompleksiteten i elektroniske kart (ENC) vil være en risikofaktor.

Dette kurset gir grunnleggende kunnskaper, ferdigheter og forståelse av ECDIS og elektroniske kart (ENC). Kurset har ikke som mål å lære bort grunnleggende navigasjon, men hvordan man bruker ECDIS til sikker navigering.

ECDIS kurset er i henhold til IMO-modell kurs 1.27 (2012 EDITION), og STCW Chapter II, Section A-II/1 and Table A-II/1, Table A-II/2 og Table A-II/3.


Ved fullført kurs, skal kursdeltakerne:

- kunne bruke ECDIS på det samme trygge og effektive nivå som ved bruk av konvensjonelle papirkart
- ha kunnskap om muligheter og begrensninger med ECDIS
- kunne vurdere all relevant informasjon og kunne gjøre riktige tiltak i tilfelle en feil
- være kompetent og ha fått en god forståelse av elektroniske kart (ENC)
- kjenne operasjonelle prosedyrer
- kjenne til prosedyrer for elektroniske kart (oppdatering, bestilling, permits etc.)

Kursinnhold

Kurset er jevnt fordelt mellom teori og praktiske oppgaver på ECDIS med egen brosimulator. 

- Regler og forskrifter 

- ENC 

- Sensorer 

- Ruteplanlegging og monitorering 

- Alarmer 

- Dokumentasjon / back-up 

- Kartoppdatering 

- GNSS 

- Safety settings

In-depth training on a full-scale DNV GL Class A crane simulator, supported by a program of lectures and instruction. The course covers various types of loads and external forces affecting the load on crane and vessel.

The course can be adapted to suit company-specific needs regarding the choice of loading / unloading procedures and exercises.

This course will give the candidates basic knowledge, understanding and practical skills within:

- Lifting operations
- Forces
- Communication
- Planning
- Procedures
- Limitations
- Safety functions 
- Start / stop procedures 
- Operational limitations of crane operations 
- Communication during crane operations 
- Preparation and planning of crane operations 
- Internal transport on the installation 
- Loading and unloading supply vessels 
- Crane operation on various fixed and floating installations

This course combines self-study by e-learning and classroom training with demonstrations and examples which is useful when working in explosive atmospheres.

The concept intrinsic safety is unlike the other Ex protection concepts as it is a system concept. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the system as a whole, how the environment and individual components affect the system to maintain the integrity of the intrinsically safe system.

Hensikten med kurset er å gi blivende riggere en god teoretisk grunnopplæring i sikker bruk av: Fallsikringsutstyr og enkle løfteinnretninger (enkle travers- og søylesvingkraner, håndtaljer, luft- og eltaljer og transportable vinsjer.Opplæringen gir kandidaten god innsikt i prinsippene for fallsikringsutstyrs, enkle løfteinnretningers og transportable vinsjers konstruksjon, virkemåte, bruk og vedlikehold, slik at uhell og ulykker i forbindelse med riggeoperasjoner unngås.

Deltakeren må ha fullført G11 stroppekurs før kursstart.

Opplæringen dekker den nødvendige teoretiske som er nødvendig for å kunne gjennomføre det praktiske riggekurset, Modul O 3.2.

Kurset avsluttes med en teoretisk prøve.

Changing demographics, technology innovation, and global competition are driving enterprise-wide business transformation. Digital natives—two new generations of buyers and corporate talent—are wired to connect, communicate, and operate in this environment. How they instinctively navigate this digital age is redefining how organizations are responding to customer expectations, continuous business innovation, and competition. A recent Wall Street Journal article said, “We are in an era of extraordinary change in core business models. Technology is usually the cause.” As organizations shift from pre-digital age business models to more agile platform-based models, their strategies are changing too. Digital technologies are the tools that organizations are using to meet the demands of a new breed of the buyer and a competitive global economy. It’s clear that today—and going forward—every business is now a digital business.

• Learn how markets are getting transformed due to digital

• Recognize how business models get transformed due to digital

• Understand how digital influences strategy transformation for any business

"Faced with the increasing pace and pressures of today’s business environment, organizations are constantly seeking ways to be more efficient and effective. Because companies are often asked to do more with less—including time—they must use their resources wisely to stay ahead of the competition. A talented and skilled workforce is the key to achieving the required results. When you align your workforce with your company’s goals, your organization’s energies will be appropriately focused. And if you set reasonable, measurable, and attainable goals, you will be able to link performance to rewards and motivate your employees to do even more. 

Most organizations don’t understand the power of incorporating the correct timing and frequency of goals into their plan. For example: goals that are set at the beginning of the year and audited 12 months later are not going to motivate your people. It’s difficult to stay committed a business goal over such a long time. When you learn how to set strong, timely, and measurable goals, your team will clearly understand their purpose, see their importance, and know how they will be measured. In this course, you will learn the usage of stretch goals to motivate your team.

• Align stretch goals to performance goals 

• Decide whether to stretch the goals

"“Change is the only constant in life.” 

-Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher 

As a leader, you’re responsible for leading your team to achieve organizational goals. Sometimes that involves changing processes, adopting new technologies, or learning new skills. What do you do when one or more of your employees refuse to change and grow with the rest of the team? People tend to approach change in one of the two ways. They either embrace change and are excited about the possibilities and opportunities inherent in a new adventure. Or they resist change because they fear the unknown. As a leader, you probably have employees in both camps. In this course, we will discuss how to influence the change resisters.

• Identify the fear for change 

• Implement T-chart
