Single Point/Buoy Mooring Ship Handling Training

The aim of this course is to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge of all types of Single Point Mooring (SPM) and Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) arrangements, as recommended by the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF). The training covers operational guidelines, best practices for mooring operations, and the essential onboard
equipment required to execute these procedures effectively. This course offers simulator training using various models and including various scenarios, and is aimed for participants that are involved in handling very large crude carriers (VLCCs) & Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs) around SPM/SBM facilities.

The Single Point/Buoy Mooring Simulation Training is a training programme divided in 2 modules. 

Module 1 - Theory (8 hours)
