SHELL BUNKERCALC PC

This software has been developed to enable the users to carry out some of the important and most frequently required calculations, such as the calculation of the specific energy base on the ISO equation, calculation of viscosity, temperature conversions, finding out blending ratios in case of two-component fuel, calculating the resultant properties of the blended fuels and many others.

This program has already proven practically effective and has been very well met by the people in the shipping industry. It is widely used by crew members of the vessels who are engaged in calculating various fuel characteristics, as well as by the shore personnel, and even students using it as the supplementary training software.

Apart from the calculations listed above, this software also allows to calculate the delivered quantity calculations. The program is really "lightweight" and it works on any platform so we do recommend it for download. Just try it and you will be impressed by its functionality.

PUMPS AND PUMPING OPERATIONS

The "Pumps and Pumping operations" is the comprehensive guide covering every important aspect of pump operation, their periodic maintenance and overhaul, and efficiency. Whether the users of the program are experienced engineers or just beginners, this training software will provide them with the necessary skills to feel comfortable on board any vessel.

The content is arranged in five sections with the first section being introductory - it gives some basic information which the trainees shall get aware of before they proceed to the main part of the course. The four sections of the main part address the operational theory, positive displacement and rotodynamic pumps, and various pumping operations commonly taking place on board vessels.

Since the pumps are considered important machinery items of any ship, their thorough knowledge and understanding of the pumping operations is critical for the crew members engaged in operating pumps, their maintenance, survey, repair etc. And this training course will be very helpful to those people willing to get to understand the pumping technologies better so we highly recommend this software to be used for training and familiarization purposes.

WATER TREATMENT FOR STEAM BOILERS INTERACTIVE COURSE

The content and arrangement of this program is quite similar to the another Wilhelmsen Ship Service program related to the engine cooling systems. In this program the users will be enabled to get some interactive training on water treatment for the shipboard steam boilers.

There is some introductory general information on steam boilers, fundamentals of water chemistry, corrosion and scaling issues, and water treatment solutions, while the other sections of the program are covering chemical dosing and control, recording of test results, practical tips for monitoring and guidance, as well as the effective troubleshooting guidance.

Once the user gets fully familiarized with the theoretical parts, he can pass the tests in order to evaluate his knowledge. Noting the remarkable coverage of the important aspects of the water treatment covered in the courses, we would consider both of the WSS training courses recommended to all crew members dealing with the operation and maintenance of the subject shipboard machinery items as well as all other persons, such as the technical, engaged in same on a regular or even occasional basis.

WATER TREATMENT FOR ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMS INTERACTIVE COURSE

The present application was prepared and released by WSS (standing for the Wilhelmsen Ship Service) specialists to serve as an interactive training resource. The duration of the course is approximately 25 minutes so it will not take too much of your valuable time. The content of the course starts with the general introduction to the cooling systems of the engines and basic information about the water chemistry as this knowledge is pre-requisite to proceed further.

Then, the trainees will go through the problems commonly caused by the scaling and corrosion, dosing and control of chemicals, different water treatment solutions, safe water sampling and testing techniques, troubleshooting, monitoring, servicing etc. The Adobe player will be required for the program to run. The user will have to launch the start.exe file to commence the training process, and type something in a "login" field, no matter what exactly.

The self-assessment test also there so the trainees will have a chance to evaluate their knowledge upon completion of the course. note that we have another WSS training course devoted to the water treatment for steam boilers which is also highly recommended for the students, trainees and practicing engineers.

OPERATION OF KANGRIM BOILER

This training simulator was developed and released by MOTIA is order to provide practical assistance to the trainees willing to get some real experience in operating of subject boilers. The program is divided into two main parts, first of the parts is covering the Automatic Operation of the Kangrim boilers while the second one is devoted to its Emergency Operation.

The automatic sequence controller governs the starting sequence, while the steam pressure controls the load modulation. The signal goes from the controller to the servo-motor regulating the oil compound regulator... There are many moving images provided with valuable comments demonstrating the operating principles - they will help users to get to the better understanding of the fundamentals of boiler operation. No need to install and no activation codes required. The pack was verified clear from any sort of malware. Have a good training.

NORCONTROL NEPTUNE DESKTOP SIMULATOR MC90—IV

This nice and interesting simulation software has already proven to be effective training tool for those studying the fundamentals of marine engineering; note that it is also good to the professionals of marine engineering willing refresh their technical knowledge of ship machinery.

Designed to work on all Windows, it will let the trainees operate a slow-speed turbocharged MAN B&W marine diesel engine as the propulsion engine driving the fixed propellers and CPP. The model has been developed on the basis of the real diesel engine data making the dynamic behavior incredibly close to the one of real engine response.

Two diesel generators have been included in the electrical plant, together with the one shaft generator, one turbo generators, and of course one emergency generator. In the meantime, the steam plant consists of the steam and exhaust boilers, one ballast turbine and four cargo turbines, and water systems. Excellent and recommended training resource for everyone engaged or intending to get engaged in the operation of subject shipboard equipment.

FRAMO TRAINING SYSTEM CBT

FRAMO Training System CBT (standing for the computer based training) is an excellent and very popular educational program specifically developed and released to be used by the crew members of chemical tankers during their familiarization with the pumping arrangements on board.

The content of the present training pack includes two nice and informative video films, scan copy of the training manual to be followed during the learning process, as well as the special software.

Though the primary audience for this course consists of the people working on the chemical carriers, we would consider this course equally useful to the crew members of all vessels; obviously, every single vessel has pumps installed and their general working principles do not differ too much from one manufacturer/model to another.

The format is mdx so the trainees will either have to burn the CD or use any virtual drive which is very simple to do.
