Where better to complete your training than at NMCI, Europe’s leading maritime college. With a $100 million dollar state of the art facility located only 1 mile from Cork Harbour, and with great connectivity to Europe, NMCI Services should be your first port of call.
And lest we forget to mention that there is no VAT on training in Ireland so we should definitely be top of mind for all your training needs. If you are still unsure then why not look at some testimonials from delegates who completed training with us here.
So, to cut a long story short we are delighted to announce that NMCI Services are offering a scheduled High Voltage (Management) Training Course, June 15th – 19th.
High Voltage Management Course
As the High Voltage (Management) course is a commercial course, it is available to book online at the following link: High Voltage (M). Once you have registered and paid online you will appear on the course participants list. Unfortunately, we cannot accept provisional course booking requests as there are limited places available. The course cost is €1,200 per delegate.
This course is suitable for marine engineering officers, electrical or electro-technical officers, engineer surveyors and marine superintendents. The training gives seafarers the essential education and training in high voltage (HV) installations to meet the Knowledge, Understanding and Proficiency requirements as set out in STCW 2010 Tables A-III/2 and A-III/6 for electrical, electronic and control systems at the management level.
Course Content
The course consists of a blend of classroom and practical training using dedicated facilities to enable students to achieve the following training outcomes:
- Management of HV operations on board a ship, including familiarisation with HV safety rules, procedures and legislation, knowledge of electrical hazards, and completion of safety records and documentation.
- Understanding the HV system and the maintenance of distribution capability, including operational and safety features, function of protection devices, HV switch room arrangements, analysing the protection of marine distribution systems and practical maintenance.
- Identification of faults within an HV system and reconfiguration of the system to maintain electrical supply, including identification of fault levels and conditions, and compiling and implementing a switching plan to isolate a high voltage distribution fault
The course will commence at 9am Monday June 15th and to ensure a timely start we kindly request all delegates to report to reception no later than 08.45am.

The NMCI Services division will be taking part in a “Seafarers Awareness week” which is due to take place from June 20th to 28th 2015. This year Seafarers Awareness Week is highlighting ‘Opportunities to Work at Sea’, promoting education, training and recruitment services leading to employment in the Maritime Sector / Merchant Navy – inc. container and other cargo vessels, fuel tankers, cruise ships, ferries, superyachts and workboats.
As part of this week long event we will be running some events at the National Maritime College of Ireland. One of the events which we will be running is “The Importance of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)”.
Another element is “Day of the seafarer”. This year the International Maritime Organization is shifting its focus to maritime education. They want people to consider a career at sea. Most people go to work in offices, factories and shops. But it’s a different picture for seafarers: an office can be a hundred thousand-ton oil tanker or a cargo ship navigating the world’s oceans with beautiful landscapes.
This year’s Day of the Seafarer campaign will show how the multi-faceted maritime world offers a series of rich and fulfilling career opportunities for young people, both at sea and ashore. We are looking for companies to come on board and take part in a seminar at the NMCI which will see companies discuss opportunities at sea for people who are looking to access the maritime sector.
If you would be interested in partaking this event then contact our marketing team today by emailing: helena.day@nmci.ie
If you would be interested in attending any of these events then keep an eye out on our blog for registration in the coming days, or click on the link below to see how you can get involved.

The National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) is the first third level institution of its kind in Ireland and provides training and education for the Merchant Marine and the non-military needs of the Irish Naval Service (INS). With an original investment of €60 million, the NMCI provides education services of the highest quality using state of the art equipment and facilities. Specialist spaces including survival facilities, seamanship and shipwrights’ workshops, firefighting/damage control units, jetty and lifeboat facilities and engine room are provided. The college also provides specialised simulation equipment in the areas of navigation, bridge training, communications, engineering machinery operations, liquid cargo handling/damage control and vessel traffic systems.
The NMCI offers degree courses in Nautical Science, Beng in Marine Engineering and Beng in ElectroTechnology. It also offers a Certificate in Navigational Studies (Seamanship) which would suit school leavers and those with experience of working aboard merchant ships or fishing vessels. Professional seafarers seeking further training are also catered for with short courses and preparatory courses for the Certificates of Competency through the commercial division of the college.
What makes the NMCI a global leader? With 3 joint ventures under their belt to date the NMCI is leading maritime excellence on a global scale. Joining forces with GAC (GTSS) SEFtec (SNO) and Port of Cork has strengthened the NMCI’s position as global leaders in the maritime sector. By forming a strategic partnership with Ireland’s most progressive multi modal deep sea port, NMCI Services gains industry credibility in the delivery of modern courses for the maritime, and in particular the port industry, by drawing upon serving pilots and shore professionals from the Port of Cork.
Offering an exciting, fresh approach, with access to the best training facilities in Europe, GTSS delivers high quality niche training both at the NMCI and abroad, in areas such as the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates. In-depth industry knowledge enables GTSS to develop courses that are tailored to client’s specific requirements.
Encompassing the expertise of SEFtec & the NMCI, SNO have increased their target audience to encompass Europe, Asia and the USA, thus filling a global niche for offshore training. This year, 2015, saw the new edition of an offshore training centre in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria where the SNO Consultancy team worked with Grupo Stier to open the first offshore training centre on the Island. Head of NMCI & Managing Director for SNO Conor Mowlds said “This project is one of the most exciting we have been involved in, the professionalism and focus of the Grupo Stier Team is truly impressive and the location of the Training Centre is unequalled. We have committed the full resources and expertise of the NMCI in support of this fantastic initiative and we are proud to be associated with both Grupo Stier and the Canary Islands”.
Not only have SNO worked in the Canary Islands but to date consultancy has brought them to Tawazun, Angola, Gran Canaria and Bahrain. The future looks bright as they plan to further expand their reach by developing more training centres across the globe. These planned developments will strengthen the SNO brand worldwide and drive awareness for the Irish Maritime sector abroad.
The NMCI is also home to the “Halpin – Centre for Research and Innovation”. For a full low down on the great work of the Halpin Research & Innovation centre then check out this article.

The summer of 2015 is one of great importance for the Port of Cork. With several Cruise Ships set to dock in our harbour, whether it be at the deep water berth in Ringaskiddy or at the dedicated cruise berth in Cobh, it looks like this summer will see Cork become the tourist destination of choice for many cruise passengers. Most recently the MSC Splendida stopped in the dedicated cruise berth in Cobh on Tuesday May 12th.
Before entering Dublin Port, which has 300m operational limit on ship length, MSC Splendida’s captain flew from Italy to Cork to practice the navigation on our high-tech bridge simulator at the National Maritime College of Ireland. The MSC Splendida had previously cruised into the history books with the arrival of the 333m long MSC Splendida cruise liner, the longest ship to ever call at Dublin Port.
She is one of 83 cruise calls confirmed for Dublin Port this year, which will see a total of 140,000 passengers arriving to sample the sights of Dublin. The MSC Cruises ship built in 2009 has 4,600 passengers and crew that were greeted by a Celtic-inspired welcome on the quayside. This featured a live ceili band, Irish drummers, dancers and entertainment before passengers departed for the city’s shops and attractions.
We can’t just let Dublin have all the credit though, Port of Cork is set to welcome a staggering 43 cruise ships by the end of October. Cruise companies are acknowledging the value of Port of Cork and what Cork has to offer its passengers.
With the proposed future development plans for the Port of Cork we are sure to see this figure increase in the coming years. For the full schedule why not check out the Port of Cork website here.
