OneLearn Global offers courses for bulk carrier crews
Crews working on bulk carriers can access courses specific for their needs through eLearning provider OneLearn Global. These courses run alongside comprehensive training programmes relevant to people working across all vessel types.
OLG also offers training opportunities for seafarers in new fuels with a number of initiatives, such as adopting customized learning plans tailored to the technical and safety requirements specific to greenfuelled ships, as well as cutting edge simulation-based eLearning with real-life activities to aid training.
The company, with headquarters in Limassol, Cyprus, adopts a world-class Learning Management System (LMS) that delivers training at the point of need, across devices, whether on shore or onboard, to optimize the learner experience and, in turn, drive engagement through certifications and award badges for positive encouragement and reward.
OLG also adopts the most up-to-date technology to bring the best standard of remote learning to crews. The latest example of this is using revolutionary holograms to provide almost lifelike inperson training to thousands of people at one time. The hologram-projection technology is the brainchild of PORTL, a US-based company that spent a year building a tailormade portal for Columbia Shipmanagement (which OneLearn provides eLearning for).

OFFERS THE FOLLOWING COURSES FOR BULK CARRIERS:
CARGO LIQUEFACTION ON BULK CARRIERS
Trainees can explore the concept of liquefaction in bulk carriers and their associated hazards. This involves identifying and understanding the characteristics of bulk cargoes that are susceptible to liquefaction. Crew members taking the course will be able to determine the conditions and factors that contribute to liquefaction. Furthermore, this course seeks to develop skills in preventing and mitigating these dangers, including the implementation of appropriate cargo testing procedures and moisture control measures. Additionally, it is important to acquire knowledge regarding the potential consequences of cargo liquefaction, such as stability issues, cargo shift, and vessel capsizing. Finally, the learner will recognize the significance of adhering to relevant international regulations and industry guidelines to ensure safe operations and prevent liquefaction incidents from occurring.
Dangerous And Difficult Bulk
CARGOES
The objective of this course is to distinguish the risks and recognize hazards associated with the transportation of dangerous and demanding bulk cargoes. It aims to facilitate a deeper comprehension of the IMSBC Code’s requisites and application for learners. Additionally, the objective of the course is to provide a cargo operations guide intended for Masters, Chief Officers, ratings, shipping companies, and ship operators. Real incident case studies are incorporated to illustrate practical scenarios at sea. Furthermore, it is designed to aid learners in grasping the maintenance of secure and efficient cargo operations through the identification and implementation of safe procedures and practices throughout the carriage of bulk cargoes.
Hatch Covers
This course provides participants with the knowledge on safe operation, inspection, and maintenance of different types of hatch covers. Modern hatch covers are complex engineering feats. Thus, several of them are highlighted throughout the course, alongside demonstrations of how they work.
Imsbc Code
This course aims to assist the trainees in the requirements and use of the IMSBC Code and its application. It provides a detailed guide to the ship’s officers and crew, shipping companies, and ship operators involved in cargo operations on the safe carriage of solid bulk cargoes. The latest updates, supplements, and information on the use of the IMSBC Code are incorporated and subjected to thorough analysis. Through case studies of real incidents at sea, this course helps the learners understand how to maintain safe and effective cargo operations by identifying safe procedures and practices during the carriage of bulk cargo.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO RIGHTSHIPRIGHTSHIP RISQ3.0 VETTING INSPECTIONS
The course currently under development, aims to provide crew members with valuable insight and knowledge about the details of the Rightship vetting process, including the criteria used to assess a ship’s safety and environmental performance. The course will provide practical tips and guidelines on how to prepare the ship for Rightship inspections. This can include information on documentation, equipment checks, and overall readiness for assessment.
Furthermore, it encourages a culture of continuous improvement on board by providing insights into how to assess and enhance the ship’s overall performance beyond just meeting minimum requirements.
