COURSES IN ALAM

In Malaysian Maritime Academy, they offer a variety of courses related to maritime studies such as:

NAUTICAL STUDIES
Under this programme the students are equipped with relevant background for offshore and onshore career opportunities. Scientific and basic maritime knowledge are initially introduced followed by theoretical studies in the subsequent academic year. The graduates of this programme will be able to undertake the challenging careers on board ships and at a later stage, shore based positions e.g ship masters, surveyors, superintendents, etc.

MARINE ENGINEERING

The Faculty of Marine Engineering is situated in a 200 acres sprawling lush greenery in Kuala Terengganu, East Coast of Malaysia. The branch campus is equipped with state of the art teaching/ research facilities which include Engineering laboratories, workshops and IT infrastructures for e-learning. A comprehensive technical library with large number of books/publications is located at the branch campus and is also electronically linked to all the resource centres of PETRONAS Education Division. The branch campus has ISO 9000; 2000 accreditation.

Teaching and research in Marine Engineering/technology and FPSOs forms the thrust area of the Marine Engineering Faculty. The faculty has highly qualified staff with Certificates of Competency (1st Class), Bachelor Degrees, Masters and Ph.D degrees in their related area of specialization. All academic and training programmes are strongly supported by MISC Berhad and PETRONAS by way of sharing common resources.

The faculty conducts marine engineering courses for pre-sea and post-sea courses, both for foreign going and near coastal. It also offers short specific technical courses to the maritime industry. Students pursuing the Marine Engineering programmes can graduate as competent sea going professionals and would eventually become Chief Engineers on board various types of ship worldwide.

MODULAR AND OFFSHORE TRAINING

ALAM's mandotary Marine Safety & Operational Training courses are fully compliant with Standards of Training & Certification and Watch keeping (STCW78 As Amended) requirements set by International Maritime Organization (IMO) and enforced by Marine Department of Malaysia. These courses are specifically designed to supllement the knowledge and skills as per Deck and Engine Certificates of competency requirements. Courses include Basic Safety Training, Adanced Fire Fighting, Proficiency in Survival Craft, Medical Care and other special training for personnel on certain types of ships such as oil, chemical and gas tanker, i.e. Tanker Familiarisation and Advanced (Oil, Chemical, Liquefied Gas) Tankertrainings.

The Marine electronic and Communication courses are conducted in accordance to Marine Electronics Navigation & Communications (STCW78 As Amended) requirements. Courses include GMDSS General/ Restricted Operators, Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS), ARPA etc are conducted on regular basis.

ALAM's offshore courses are approved and accredicted by National and International bodies such as OPITO and PETRONAS Minimum Industry Standards. Our experienced and dedicated trainers are ever ready to serve your training requirements. We offer more than 50 offshore safety courses, includingBOSIET (OPITO) , Tropical BOSIET (OPITO), HUET with EBS (OPITO) Travel Safely By Boat (OPITO), MIS BOSET (PETRONAS Approved), FOET (OPITO), Basic Rigging & Slinging, Crane Operator, Major Emergency Management, O.I.M. Controlling Emergencies Assessment, Helicopter Landing Officer, Basic H2S, Oxygen Resuscitator and many more. Courses can be customized or developed to suit your training requirements and some of the courses can be conducted on-site, at your location.

On campus accomodation and transporation services can be arranged for your added convenient.

MARITIME STUDIESIn meeting the needs of shore-based maritime industries, programmes under maritime studies incorporate courses that provide various operational, technical and managerial aspects related to shore-based areas within the shipping industry.

The programmes prepare the students to be competent in fulfilling the demanding roles required by the shore based maritime industries e.g logistics, shipping agencies, ports, etc.

The safety and operation programmes are designed to supplement the knowledge and skills for the Deck and Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency.

SIMULATOR-BASED TRAININGFull Mission Ship-handling Simulator

The Full Mission Ship-handling Simulator (FMSHS) located at the Academy's Simulation Center is installed with Transas NT Pro 4000 system. The 270 degrees field of view visual scene, bridge mock-up which is complete with a full complement of equipment, environmental effects, high-fidelity own ship and passing ship hydrodynamic effects, provide a realistic marine environment. In addition, three integrated Cubicle Bridges provide interconnected operation and total ship-handling interaction between the simulators.

The main Full Mission Ship-handling Simulator is fully integrated with the Transas ERS 4000 Engine Room Simulator (ERS). Operations by the bridge team on the main FMSHS will impact team operations of the FMERS, and vice versa. When interconnected, the FMSHS response is in accordance with the FMERS models, which have been accurately modeled and validated; making ALAM Simulation Center a world-class simulator-based learning environment.

Full Mission Engine Room Simulator

The ERS consists of 12 trainee workstations that provide full access to all equipment and controls associated with the various power plant functions, an Engine Control Room with engine control console, switch board and the Machinery Space with Local Operation Control Console, 3D walk-through and realistic engine room sounds.

Liquid Cargo Operation Simulator

The Liquid Cargo Operation Simulator (LICOS) is installed with 12 trainee workstations of which 4 workstations may also be configured as terminal operators. Current models include LNG Membrane, LNG Moss, LPG, Chemical tanker, and Large Crude Carrier. FPSO model and integration of the LCHS to FMERS will be implemented in the near future.
