Objective: The training is intended to provide personnel with good theoretical and practical basic training in the use and maintenance of steel ropes.

The course provides a thorough introduction to knowledge about steel ropes, the correct use / choice of steel ropes and what requirements are set for those who use and control steel ropes.

Regulations on the performance of work, use of work equipment and associated technical requirements (regulations on the performance of work) §10-1. Requirement for documented safety training for work equipment that requires special care during use 

When an employer after a risk assessment finds that the work equipment requires special care during use, only employees who have documented safety training according to §10-2 §10-2 can be used. Requirements for documented safety training when using work equipment

Anyone who is to use work equipment as mentioned in §10-1 and §10-3, must have practical and theoretical training that provides knowledge of construction, operation, use properties and area of use, as well as maintenance and control.

Objective: The purpose of the course is to provide forklift drivers with a good theoretical basic training in the safe use of forklifts, so that accidents in connection with forklift driving are avoided.

Module 1.1 - Basic theoretical module
Module 2.2 -Forklift theory
Module 3.2 - Basic practice forklift.

The course is primarily aimed at future users of forklifts. But anyone who is involved with cargo handling and forklifts in risk analysis and work management can also benefit from the course.

The course is conducted with Norwegian-language teachers and teaching materials in accordance with legislation and regulations, as well as recognized curricula for module-based training.

The forklift driver training consists of four modules:

- Module 1.1 working environment, responsibilities and consequences. *
- Module 2.2 G4 bridge and overhead crane
- Module 3.2 Basic practical training forklift 
- Module 4.2 Practical driving training forklift
- Practical Final test in each forklift type T1-T4

* Module 1.1 is common to machine, forklift and crane. If you can document that you have module 1.1 from before that is not older than 3 years, let us know.

Module 4.2 can be completed in a company using a sponsorship arrangement. If you do not have the opportunity to do so, you can participate in one of STQ's practice courses.

Content:

- Safety training, laws, regulations
- Forklift types
- Electric forklift - construction
- Stability
- Daily inspection and maintenance
- Material and goods handling
- HMS
- Proper use of the forklift
- The theory course ends with a theoretical exam

This intensive course provides marine engineers, engine officers, and technical superintendents with a deep technical understanding of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) main engines—both low-speed crosshead and medium-speed trunk-piston types. Participants will master operation, diagnostics, and maintenance practices through real-world case studies, performance analysis, and safety management frameworks. The training covers architecture, combustion tuning, fuel systems (HFO, MGO, and dual-fuel), control automation, emissions technologies (SCR/EGR), and class-aligned maintenance planning. By the end of the course, participants will confidently perform troubleshooting, performance optimization, and regulatory compliance in alignment with IMO, IACS, and class standards.

This course equips Masters, officers, and technical personnel with the knowledge and tools to identify, manage, and verify safety-critical equipment and spare parts onboard in line with SOLAS, ISM, OCIMF, and Class expectations. Participants learn how to apply ALARP and HSSE controls, prevent single-point failures, classify critical items in PMS/CMMS, and maintain readiness through disciplined inventory management. Using flowcharts, checklists, and realistic vessel scenarios, the training builds competence in maintaining operational integrity, regulatory compliance, and audit readiness.

This course provides maritime professionals with a practical understanding of how to manage, control, and verify contractor activities onboard vessels in line with Integrated Management System (IMS) requirements and Chapter 17—Contractors Management. Participants learn the full framework of contractor engagement, from qualification and appointment to risk assessment, supervision, and performance evaluation. Using realistic onboard scenarios, the course emphasizes HSQE compliance, Stop Work Authority, and audit-readiness for both ship and shore personnel.
