Those students who successfully complete the Radar Observer Certifi cation (MT-3122) course will be able to recognize when radar should be in use, will be able to select a suitable mode and range setting for the circumstances, will be able to set the controls for optimal performance, and will be aware of the limitations of the equipment in detecting targets in terms of accuracy. When in range of the coast, the operator will be able to compare the radar display with the chart, select suitable land targets and use these targets to fi x position. The operator will be aware of the need to maintain a continuing plot of ship targets which may pose a potential threat of collision, and will be able to derive from the plot the necessary information about other ship's courses, speeds and closest points of approach to enable action to be taken in ample time, in accordance with 72-COLREGS and Inland Rules, and to prevent a close quarters situation arising. This course satisfi es the requirements for a USCG RADAR endorsement. Prerequisite: MT-1221, MT-2161 STCW: Knowledge and Practical

This course gives a basic understanding of meteorology, and its application to shipboard operations. The student will have a knowledge of meteorological instruments and their application, knowledge of the characteristics of various weather systems, reporting procedures and recording systems, and the ability to apply the meteorological information available. Students will complete a practical assessment of reading and interpreting weather charts and demonstrate the ability to forecast future weather events. In addition, the knowledge gained in this subject will serve as the basis for further training to the level of chief mate and master. Prerequisite: SM-2121 STCW: Knowledge and Practical
-

Within this course, the student will learn the characteristics, hazards and safe practices for the handling of petroleum and chemical products. During labs, students practice the actual loading of cargo/ballast aboard the Academy's 40 foot tank barge. In the laboratory, using the liquid loading simulator, students practice loading, discharging and tank cleaning. This course satisfi es the training requirements necessary for endorsements as tankman-PIC, Tankerman-PIC (barge), Tankerman Assistant, and Tankerman-Engineer as outlined in 46 CFR 13.121(f). Each student is issued a Tankship/Tankbarge Dangerous Liquid Cargo Certifi cate upon satisfactory completion of this course. Prerequisite: None STCW: Knowledge

An introductory course on the towing industry. This course encompasses the design, construction, and use of towing vessels. Also examined are the various uses of modern tugs, including ship handling, shifting, escort services, and inland and offshore towing. In addition, emphasis is placed on the development of basic skills for handling tugs, barges, and limited-tonnage vessels. The student is also introduced to the operation and management of those companies involved in this aspect of the maritime industry. Prerequisite: MT-1111, MT-2231 STCW: None
-
2.00 Credits
Knowledge of the Morse code and correct procedures in transmitting and receiving messages by Morse light are taught in this course. Students will know the fl ags of the International Code of Signals and the signifi cance of the single-letter signals. They will know the procedures set out in the International Code of Signals and how to make use of that publication. They will also know the procedures to use in radiotelephone communications and be able to use radiotelephones, particularly with respect to distress, urgency, safety, and navigational messages. The radio communications requirements of the SOLAS Convention, as amended, and the procedures for distress, urgency, safety, and navigational messages in accordance with chapter N IX of the Radio Regulations will be known. Students will have a knowledge of the basic theory of electronic navigational aids and the use of appropriate instruments. They will know the fundamental differences between the various systems and the methods of using these systems to obtain the ship's position. In addition, the students will know the basic theory of, and be suffi ciently trained in, the operation of GPS, AIS and Loran C to handle the instruments properly and apply information correctly. The students will know the general principles of echo-sounders and speed logs. In addition, they will be familiar with methods of recording and displaying the information. Students will appreciate the danger of exclusive reliance on information gained from instruments. Prerequisite: None STCW: None
