Course Description:

This course provides a detailed understanding of auxiliary boiler systems, their safe operation, maintenance, and compliance with maritime regulations. Participants will learn about boiler types, combustion processes, fuel and water management, emissions control, troubleshooting, and emergency procedures. The course also covers best practices for efficiency optimisation, regulatory compliance, and environmental sustainability in boiler operations.

Training required for: 

This training is essential for marine engineers, ship officers, technical superintendents, and maintenance personnel involved in boiler operation, emissions control, and regulatory compliance. It is particularly relevant for those handling fuel combustion, steam generation, routine inspections, and troubleshooting to ensure safe and efficient boiler performance.
