Course Objectives and Benefits

Particular attention is given to the Safety Management System, Planned Maintenance System, Vessel Response Plan and the US Vessel General Permit (where trading to the US is contemplated).

A number of case studies are provided including examples of practical approaches for avoiding undesirable outcomes.
