Course Description

Communication Workshop

The primary objective of this 1-Day training session is to provide Mates and Masters with practical knowledge and techniques to assist and enhance their ability to communicate during tug/barge handling evolutions. 

The course will be classroom-based and focused on the importance of a Pre-Maneuvering Conference, Command Nomenclature and Usage, and Positive Communication Techniques to reduce the likelihood of miscommunication during critical vessel handling maneuvers. 

Tug / Barge Handling Workshop

Following the Communication Workshop, trainees will be given an opportunity to practice tug / barge handling via remote command during realistic maneuvering scenarios in three integrated simulators. 

The trainees will rotate between the following locations:

  • Mate in pilothouse of notched tug
  • Mate in pilothouse of assist tug
  • Captain on barge directing the maneuver

Simulated scenarios will include:

  • Negotiating a turn in a restricted channel with current
  • Docking a loaded fuel barge between moored vessels
  • Maneuvering alongside with various environmental situations
