Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS) is widely involved in projects on the development of offshore fields on the shelf of the Russian Federation. Personnel policy of the classification society is focused on ensuring high competence of its specialists. On September 12 – 16, 2016, Training Center of Admiral Makarov State University of Maritime and Inland Shipping (Makarov Training Center) trained a group of RS inspectors from the regions with intense development of offshore fields and construction of vessels for oil and gas projects (including Astrakhan, Murmansk, Far East, China, Korea), says press center of Makarov Training Center (MTC).
MTC had developed a special course for RS inspectors – “Training of operators of dynamic positioning systems”.
“Five days of classroom and practical training at special stands and simulators with real dynamic positioning equipment allowed the course participants make a thorough look into requirements for different classes of DPS, analyze the implications of possible failures of key DPS elements and practice such programmes as on-line diagnostics and functional inspection of DPS during mooring and sea trials, MTC says in its statement. The course was led by experienced teachers of the University and the leading specialists of Navis CJSC, Russia’s only DPS producer. In its turn, Makarov Training Center is Russia’s only internationally certified center for training of DPS specialists.
