Engine-room management simulator training
What is being checked
The inspector is checking whether the Chief Engineer and engineer officers involved in manoeuvring completed valid shore-based engine-room management simulator training within the company requirement and can apply it to the vessel's actual operations and equipment.
Ready onboard
0/7 completePractice questions
Answer aloud, then open the preparation point.
1Who onboard requires shore-based engine-room management simulator and why?
Use rank, duties, company matrix and vessel applicability, not a general crew list.
2When is refresher training due?
Show the company interval and calculate it from the verified completion date.
3What practical scenario from the course is relevant to this vessel?
Explain an applied scenario involving routine and emergency machinery operation, manoeuvring, resource management, fault diagnosis and recovery and connect it to ship procedures.
4Does a certificate alone prove competence?
No. Demonstrate ship-specific familiarisation, recent practice and the ability to respond to an abnormal situation.
5What control applies if required training is overdue?
Escalate before assignment, arrange training and apply company or flag restrictions; onboard briefing is not automatically an equivalent substitute.
Where an observation may arise
A required person has not completed shore-based engine-room management simulator.
Training is outside the company refresher period.
The course does not match vessel type, duty or required operational scenarios.
Identity, provider, date or completion evidence is unreliable.
The person cannot apply shore training to fitted systems and procedures.
Training declarations do not match records.
Master's practical note
Choose the officer whose training is oldest and ask for one abnormal scenario. This exposes whether shore-based engine-room management simulator remains operational knowledge or only a certificate.
Equipment boundary and references
Equipment boundary: Course equivalence, refresher intervals and affected ranks follow flag and company requirements. A model course is guidance unless made mandatory through an applicable requirement.
