Hydraulics Workshop
Event Dates: Wednesday, 09 March 2022 - Friday, 11 March 2022
In view of the enormous use of hydraulic equipment and systems on board all types of vessels and the operation of such systems by Engineer Officers, it is imperative that they possess sufficient knowledge of the subject to enable them to operate these systems safely and efficiently.
Covering aspects of shipboard hydraulics, this workshop provides a forum for theory lecture delivery, PPT presentations, animation / videos and group discussions leading to improvement in competency and confidence in operating pneumatic equipment in a correct manner. Extensive exposure to hydraulic components and their application is provided along with several shipboard circuits being traced.
