COURSE OVERVIEW:

Marine Reliability and Safety Management Techniques is an advanced program designed to integrate technical asset integrity with world-class safety management systems. This course examines the critical link between the mechanical reliability of shipboard systems and the overall safety profile of the maritime organization. It provides a technical framework for moving beyond reactive maintenance into predictive and proactive reliability models that directly mitigate the risk of major accidents at sea.

The scope of this training involves the application of advanced analytical tools such as Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Participants will explore how to quantify risk and reliability using statistical data, focusing on the prevention of catastrophic failures in propulsion, steering, and cargo containment systems. The program emphasizes the role of the Safety Management System (SMS) as a dynamic tool for operational excellence rather than a static compliance document.

Coverage includes the management of the "Human Element" within the reliability cycle, focusing on the prevention of maintenance-induced errors and the enhancement of safety culture. The course addresses the regulatory requirements of the ISM Code, the impact of digitalization on asset monitoring, and the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to drive continuous improvement. By mastering these techniques, maritime leaders will be equipped to ensure high vessel availability while maintaining the highest possible safety standards for the crew and environment.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1. Integrate reliability engineering principles into the Safety Management System.
2. Conduct advanced Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) on marine systems.
3. Implement Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) to optimize asset life.
4. Utilize Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to investigate complex system failures.
5. Manage the "Human Factors" that influence mechanical reliability and safety.
6. Develop data-driven KPIs for monitoring fleet reliability and safety performance.
7. Oversee the implementation of the ISM Code at an advanced level.
8. Apply Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to technical and operational incidents.
9. Utilize condition monitoring data to predict and prevent system failures.
10. Manage the risks associated with aging tonnage and structural fatigue.
11. Lead safety audits and technical inspections with a focus on reliability.
12. Design and test emergency redundancy systems for critical machinery.
13. Drive a "Zero Harm" safety culture through leadership and technical excellence.

TARGET AUDIENCE:  

Technical Directors, Fleet Managers, DPA, Senior Superintendents, and Quality/Safety Managers.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
