Safety, Rules & Decarbonisation

SOLAS, MARPOL and net zero. Fire safety, engine emissions, maritime conventions, energy-efficiency indices and alternative fuels.

• Fire Safety — Fires are the most common major process accident. Learn the fire triangle, flash point and autoignition, flammability limits (LFL/UFL) and Le Chatelier's rule, fire types (pool, jet, flash fire, fireball), radiation hazards and safe distances, and fire prevention and protection systems.
• Emission — Engines emit CO₂, CO, HC, NOx and particulates. Learn how each forms, emission standards (Euro 6/7, BS-VI, EPA Tier 3), CO₂ from fuel consumption, three-way catalysts and λ control, diesel oxidation catalysts, DPF, SCR with urea, GPF, EGR, and real-driving emissions testing.
• Maritime Regulations, Safety & Decarbonisation — The rules of the sea and the race to zero emissions. Learn IMO conventions (SOLAS, MARPOL Annexes I–VI, STCW, Load Lines, BWM), the ISM Code and safety management, classification and port-state control, MARPOL Annex VI (sulphur cap, NOₓ tiers, ECAs), energy-efficiency indices (EEDI, EEXI, CII and SEEMP), IMO GHG strategy and net zero by ~2050, alternative fuels (LNG, methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, biofuels), wind-assisted propulsion and onboard carbon capture — with Python computing a CII-type carbon intensity.
