Workshop and Afloat Training
Practical training is also provided in the yard of Goa Shipyard Ltd., and workshop of Marine Electrical Agencies. Afloat training is provided on ships under construction or repairs at this yard, and also on transhipped M.V. Royal Sesa, M.V. Vishal Hira, and on the ships in Mormugao Harbour. Training on Transhippers is a unique feature of the training. Our cadets travel by launch to the transhippers with all safety precautions.
The transhippers are available to the trainees all the time as their movement is restricted within the Port area. The transhippers are basically seagoing ships fitted with special cargo handling equipment to transfer iron ore from barges into large bulk carriers, anchored outside the breakwaters in deep waters. These are fully functional and operational ships. These ships carry all the normal certificates as required under MS act for large vessels, and are subject to all the surveys by MMD and Classification Societies.
The trainees actually get to carry out maintenance routine on Main Engine, Generators, and all other auxiliary machinery. By the end of their training, they are fully familiar with all the operating systems in the Engine room, overhauling of generators, pumps, compressors, purifiers, etc. and are capable of performing these jobs. They trace the pipelines and become familiar with all the ship’s systems.
Each Trainee also boards 35/40 modern ships a year at training centers of Adani Mormugao Port Terminal Pvt Ltd, Jindal South West Port Ltd., and in Mormugao Port jetties.
