Overview top
The Electronic Navigation Equipment Maintenance course (ENEM) is approved by AMERC to meet the requirements of STCW 1978, as amended, for the purposes of Table A-III/6, ETO Certificate of Competency.
The course is also suitable for marine electrical engineers who have a knowledge of electrical and electronic principles and wish to apply it to a range of electronic navigation aids and equipment.
Together with the practical elements the course also covers the operation and block functional mode of operation of each piece of navigation equipment. Functional interfacing protocols (NMEA) and integrated bridge systems form a significant part of the course content.
The course consists of:
|
Safety |
Personal safe working practices when working on navigational equipment and the safety of the vessel when working with equipment used for navigational purposes. |
|
Steering equipment |
Operation of all controls; three term controllers - functional analysis of systems diagram. |
|
Logs |
