Seminar Overview
On the 1st and 2nd day of the seminar, the participating merchant marine bridge officers are trained in the basic principles of modern marine meteorology and how they relate to the new environmental shipping regulations. The main subjects of the 1st and 2nd day seminar are learning how to read the surface weather charts issued daily by the world's major ocean weather forecasting services. These services are the United States Meteorological Service (NOAA/OPC), the Japanese (JMA) and the English (Metoffice). Also, the most modern weather routing techniques are taught with the aim of avoiding dangerous barometric systems and tropical cyclones on the one hand and limiting emissions and optimizing the ship's environmental indicators on the other.
On the 3rd day of the webinar the professional mariner learns the ways in which he can always have the official meteorological information on board, in any part of the world, regardless of whether or not the facsimile catches, regardless of whether there are official or unofficial forecasts and regardless of whether the ship has broadband or not. Through a number of real examples and practical applications, this seminar opens up new horizons for professional mariners in receiving meteorological information, as it focuses on all modern methods of receiving meteorological information developed for mariners. So the sailor learns how to use it e-mail of the ship, to receive official charts from the world's major meteorological services, warnings, tropical cyclone advisories, metaarea forecasts, Grib Files (Digital Weather Maps). He also learns how to handle the most popular Grib Viewers and how to ALWAYS have time on board.
The live webinar was approved in July 2016 as a separate course, at frameworks of its certification DANAOS Assessment and Training Center as Lloyd's Register Approved Training Center.
Desired knowledge
Upon completion of the webinar, participants will:
- they will be able to read the meteorological charts issued by all the meteorological services of the world dealing with ocean weather forecasting.
- they will be able to identify on a surface map the dangerous areas for safe navigation.
- they will be able to predict the movement of a barometric low up to 120 hours ahead.
- they will be able to do their own course planning based on the surface map.
- They will learn about significant wave height and how it relates to maximum wave
- they will learn what the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) is and how it should relate to course design
- they will learn to receive by email all weather maps in excellent resolution and clarity.
- they will learn to work with Grib Files, the most modern and reliable in the field of weather information.
Contents of 3-day webinar
- Categories of weather maps
- Surface map analysis
- analysis of wave height maps – significant wave height
- safe travel planning
- travel simulation with route planning and weather forecast
- Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and environmental regulations
