FAQ
Questions we are asked most
Enclosed Space Entry (NSI-008) is a safety and security course in the Institute’s featured training. Tanks, voids and cofferdams can lack oxygen or hold toxic gas, so entry follows a permit, testing and rescue-readiness procedure. See the course page.
SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) sets safety standards for ships, including lifesaving appliances, fire protection and navigation safety. Practical safety and operations training is offered through the Nanak Shipping Institute under the theme preparation, practice and responsibility.
Ballast Water Treatment Systems (NSI-005) falls under cargo and environment. Ships take on ballast for stability and treatment systems filter and disinfect it so organisms are not spread between ports. Enquire via the featured courses page.
The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 sets minimum standards for seafarers’ working and living conditions, including rest hours, accommodation and medical care. Nanak Ship Management aligns crew management to MLC 2006 and STCW.
Officers, engineers and ratings whose duties involve tanks, drills, cargo or security should check their requirements. The Institute lists safety, security and offshore courses; confirm your certificates with admissions before you plan.
Yes, group training can be discussed with admissions, including delivery and dates. Companies can also combine it with crew management so training, manning and mobilisation are planned together.
