Is distance learning right for me?

Distance learning can be highly beneficial to a large variety of people.

With courses being delivered at different levels, distance learning can meet the needs of a diverse student
body. High competition for jobs means having additional training and education can be a real advantage,
whether someone is in the market for a new career or simply wants to progress in their existing position.

Like any kind of educational programme, distance learning comes with advantages and disadvantages, and
it is always important that a student carefully considers these in order to be sure they will be getting the
education that meets personal needs, strengths, career goals and maybe corporate objectives.

CERTIFICATE IN MARINE POLLUTION PREVENTION & MANAGEMENT
Essential knowledge of regulations including requirements for MARPOL compliance
COURSE OVERVIEW:
Jointly offered by Lloyds
Maritime Academy and IBC
Academy the programme
provides current awareness,
comprehensive knowledge
and analysis of the overall
framework governing marine
pollution, including applicable
regulations, compliance
requirements and related
management strategies.
Compliance demands up-
to-date understanding and
demonstrable action at
individual and organisational
levels. In this context, studying
this programme represents
an astute investment; not
just because of the impact
of pollution on us and on the
marine environment, but also
by increasing awareness of
exposure to legal liabilities.
Examines an integrated
approach to the global
issues for professionals
across the shipping and
offshore industries.

DIPLOMA IN SHIP
The only diploma qualification designed for todays ship managers to meet
essential industry standards
COURSE OVERVIEW:
This qualification equips
existing and potential ship
managers with the skills
required to manage ships
effectively.
The course highlights the
responsibilities that managers
have to ensure their fleet is
operating safely. The entire
programme makes managers
aware of the complexities
faced in dealing with an
international market.
Not only do you need to
be aware of how your own
company or organisation works
but also how the industry
is responding to the ever
changing world.
I believe it is a very good
approach to the ship
management business,
a lot of interesting and
different points of view.

Marine Reinsurance
Insurance is a way of transferring the economic
consequences of a risk to another party, the insurer.
Insurers in their turn further transfer and spread
the risk to other insurers by reinsurance. In the
current economic climate the relationship between
primary insurance and reinsurance will be more
important than ever for all involved. The specialised
area of reinsurance will be comprehensively covered
in this module.

MODULE ONE
Introduction to Energy Management and the
International Response in Shipping
Introducing key notions of energy sources and
security, the impact of air emissions and the
international response particularly in shipping, the
aim of this module is to build a common vocabulary
and understanding, starting by exploring notions
such as externality, management and governance.
The focus will then shift to energy and its use,
particularly relating to social contexts, societal
evolutions and our continued dependence on
fossil fuels. Thereafter, air pollution and associated
international responses will be examined, along
with the rise of the concept of energy efficiency
and the importance of energy management. The
last part of the module focuses on the response to
air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in the
shipping industry, including MARPOL Annex VI and
its chapter on energy efficiency.
Important notions relating to energy
Energy sources and focus on fossil fuels
Energy security

MODULE TWO
Energy Efficiency and Ship Design
Fuel consumption in ship design and operation
has been widely studied over the years by ship
owners and operators, and a complete ship energy
system design is presented in this module including
pertinent IMO regulations.
Both ship resistance and propulsion are reviewed to
establish principles of ship powering in the context
of energy efficiency improvement methodologies.
Design approaches and technologies are assessed
for applicability to different vessel types. Ship main
and auxiliary engines, energy consumers and their
interactions including renewable energy devices are
also reviewed.
Ship energy efficiency is considered not only for the
sea voyage but also for the port approach and port
operations in addition to special conditions such as
shallow water and river transport. A probabilistic
ship life cycle approach is employed to measure
the effects of ship design and energy efficiency
improvements. Guidelines and interpretations of
IMOs work on ship energy efficiency through the
Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) are appraised,
and the issue of shipboard emissions is examined
from the ship design perspective.

MODULE THREE
Energy Efficient Ship Operations
Optimal ship operation provides by far the
greatest opportunities for energy-saving and CO2
reduction. Achieving this depends on a number of
stakeholders, from charterers and port operators to
ship owners and managers. Also, there are binding
legal contracts that need to be observed. All these
impose constraints and create barriers to the most
efficient operation of ships.
This module considers key topics; from
management to legal and commercial issues; from
just-in-time and virtual arrival to slow steaming
and relevant technical and legal constraints; from
weather routing to e-navigation and advanced
communication systems; and from ballast water
to trim optimisation and the all important port
operation.

Energy Management Onboard Ship
The proper management and maintenance of
various ship-board systems and technical assets
represents an important opportunity for greater
energy efficiency and reduced costs. Most of
these measures are under the control of the
ship owner and/or operator and can therefore be
relatively easy to implement.
This module deals with ship-board activities and
their impact on fuel consumption, with particular
focus on the optimal performance of technical
systems and machinery.
Overview of ship-board activities
- Ships staff organisation, roles and
responsibilities
- Activities that impact fuel consumption
- The link between ship-board and shore-
based activities

MODULE FIVE
Alternative Fuels and Marine Renewable
Energy
The maritime community has been looking
for fuel alternatives due to high prices and
stringent regulations on emissions. A few
Emissions Control Areas (ECAs) have already
been introduced by the IMO and numerous
mandatory regulations have come into force
for air pollutants and energy efficiency. This
module will explore how new fuelling options
and renewable energy could be very promising
for the future of the shipping industry.
MARPOL Annex VI, in particular Chapters 3 and
4, are thoroughly explained as well as ECAs.
(Retrofitting) options for the ships spending
their trading lives in ECAs such as LNG or
emissions abatement technologies will also be
covered. The principal alternative fuels will be
examined in detail.

as a pure piece of research, but as a piece of action research where an
organisation or industry directly benefits from the planned intervention
of the student using appropriate methods of research and change
management.
