MT3231

Using the Full Mission Ship Simulator (FMSS) and the training vessel Ranger, students will gain experience in handling vessels under all conditions. Students will gain familiarization with the use of engines and helm for ship maneuvering and of the effects on ship behavior of wind, current, shallow water, banks, narrow channels, and conditions of loading. They will also acquire a greater awareness of the importance of planning a passage or maneuver and of the need for alternative plans.
