Broaden Your Knowledge of Marine Propulsion

Netherlands Maritime Technology's (NMT) training series "Design of Marine Propulsion Systems" is a technical and internationally oriented series for those who wish to acquire in-depth knowledge of the design of different marine propulsion systems.

The series is organised once a year and will start again in September.    

• Module 1: Propulsion Plant Concepts and Basic Ship Hydrodynamics
  Different power plant concepts and their main components, such as general design considerations and component interaction, are discussed as well as ship and propeller characteristics. Modules 1 takes place on 12 and 13 September.
• Module 2: Marine Propulsor Characteristics
  This module will provide the participants with a thorough understanding of the working principles of a wide variety of marine propulsors and takes place on 3 and 4 October.
• Module 3: Diesel and Other Marine Internal Combustion Engines
  Module three has been upgraded according to recent technological developments. New in this module is the topic of gas engines. The working principles and characteristics of different types of internal combustion engines, like diesel, gas and dual-fuel reciprocating engines are discussed. Module 3 takes place on 24 and 25 October.
• Module 4: Electrical Drive Characteristics
  The fourth module will provide the participants insight and knowledge of the working principles of electrical power generation and distribution systems and takes place on 14 and 15 November.
• Module 5: Matching Propulsion Engine and Propulsor
  The last module discusses the procedure of evaluating the operational situation of a propulsion system, in both design and off-design conditions. The module takes place on 12 and 13 December.

The course is given at Rotterdam, the Netherlands. For more information on the course, please visit NMT's training calendar.

Pamas Certification

Participants that are enrolled for the first, third and fifth module can apply for post-academic certification (Pamas). The Pamas certification is the Dutch certification for technical, maritime post-academic trainings.
