The demand for electrical power has increased on many ships, especially those with
diesel-electric propulsion where the supply current becomes too high. The supply
current becomes far too high and it is not efficient or practical to use the common
shipboard voltage supply of 440V. Modern ships, particularly container, passenger,
LNG and specialised offshore ships are built now with high voltage generating
plants of 3.3kV, 6.6kV and IIkV. STCW classifies High Voltage as 1000V and above.
As per STCW Regulation III/1, “Officer in charge of an engineering watch”, officers
are to be trained to work with high voltage installations onboard merchant ships.
This course is designed to educate and train operational Level Engineer Officers on
high voltage systems.
The course satisfies the High Voltage Training syllabus as given in IMO Model
Course 7.04.- Officer in charge of an engineering watch.
