SV-EOOW-M1 · Diesel engines and propulsion

2 lessons

SV-EOOW-M1-A Marine diesel theory, propulsion systems and their operation and maintenance. Practice in examiner →

Marine diesel engine theory and operation

The watchkeeping engineer must understand the main engine in more depth than the operator, so as to run it well and recognise trouble early. This lesson covers diesel theory and operation at the operational level.

SV-EOOW-L1.2

Propulsion, shafting and steering

Power must reach the water and the vessel must steer, and the watchkeeping engineer maintains the systems that make that happen. This lesson covers the transmission, shafting and steering systems.

SV-EOOW-M2 · Auxiliary systems

2 lessons

SV-EOOW-M2-A Fuel, lubrication, cooling, compressed air, pumping and bilge systems. Practice in examiner →

SV-EOOW-L2.1

Fuel, lubrication and cooling systems

The auxiliary systems keep the main and auxiliary engines running, and the watchkeeping engineer operates and maintains them. This lesson covers the fuel, lubrication and cooling systems at operational level.

SV-EOOW-L2.2

Compressed air, pumping and bilge systems

Compressed air, pumping and bilge systems support starting, control and the safety of the vessel, and the watchkeeper operates them. This lesson covers those systems.

SV-EOOW-M3 · Electrical and control systems

2 lessons

SV-EOOW-M3-A Marine electrical generation, distribution and basic control and instrumentation. Practice in examiner →

SV-EOOW-L3.1

Electrical generation and distribution

The vessel's electrical system powers everything from navigation to the machinery, and the watchkeeping engineer operates and maintains it safely. This lesson covers electrical generation and distribution.

SV-EOOW-L3.2

Control, instrumentation and alarms

Modern small vessels rely on control and alarm systems, and the watchkeeping engineer must understand and trust them appropriately. This lesson covers instrumentation, control and alarms at operational level.

SV-EOOW-M4 · Watchkeeping, safety and pollution

2 lessons

SV-EOOW-M4-A Engineering watchkeeping, engine-room safety and pollution prevention at operational level. Practice in examiner →

SV-EOOW-L4.1

Engineering watchkeeping

Keeping a safe engineering watch is the core competence of this CoC, to the standard set by the STCW Code. This lesson covers engineering watchkeeping in depth.

SV-EOOW-L4.2

Engine-room safety, emergencies and pollution

The watchkeeper protects the ship from engine-room fire, flooding and pollution, and leads the first response. This lesson covers safety, emergencies and MARPOL at operational level.
