About the course
Background
Effective management of ship operations calls for a firm grasp of a wide range of disciplines, coupled with an ability to take informed decisions, integrating shipboard and shore-based functions in a dynamic and demanding business environment.
All Ship management decision are taken and implemented across three distinct areas:
- Regulatory
- Technical and
- Commercial
In the absence of a structured training, most superintendents learn to balance their decisions across these three areas through on-the-job exposure, which is a long and arduous process.
In its interaction with the shipping industry, the Indian Register of Shipping and its learning center, IRClass Academy, identified a strong need for a customized training programme to fill this gap.
Solution

This programme is the first in a series of high-value, short-term courses and will lead to certification by IRClass Academy under its Maritime Professional Development initiative. The focus will be on two vessel types: Bulkcarriers and Tankers.

- To enable serving Ship Superintendents and managers to enhance their knowledge and understanding of:
