The Strategic Marine Alliance for Research and Training have introduced the
The module is designed for those who wish to gain practical skills in at sea sampling and data collection and is geared towards the training requirements of postgraduate students and researchers, marine agency and industry personnel, and those wishing to develop a career in applied marine biology. A description of the module with instructor biographies, application forms for the module and a module poster can be downloaded at the bottom of the page. Completion of the module results in the award of 5 ECTS credits at postgraduate level 9.
Twenty places are available on this accredited postgraduate module which will run between Monday the 1st of October and Friday the 26th October 2012.
Week 1 is composed of mentored student centered distance learning.
Week 2 consists of three days of laboratory practicals and lectures in Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology and four days shiptime divided between the Celtic Voyager and Celtic Mist research vessels off Cork and in the Shannon Estuary respectively. For the shiptime components, there will be a maximum of ten students per vessel per day.
Weeks 3 and 4 consist of student centered distance learning leading towards the submission of a project report.
Fees for the module are €750. Completed application forms should be submitted no later than the 20th of July 2012.

The National Maritime College of Ireland was delighted to welcome pilots from Port of Livorno to the college on May 28th for a week. The pilots attended a Pilot Refresher Simulation course and Bridge Resource Management for Pilots in our full mission 360 degree simulator. There was also an opportunity for our guests to see some of the local sights Cork has to offer, including Cork Ports Ops office. We are certainly very much looking forward to many more visits from the pilots in the near future.

NMCI will launch its new Marine Data Communications & Networking course in January 2012. The course runs for 13 weeks with classes taking place one night a week, starting at 6.30pm and finishing at 9.30pm at NMCI. The first class will take place on the 16th of January.
The course will be delivered by Arnaud Disant who has been an IT Professional Service Engineer since 1992. Mr Disant has experience in Messaging, Identity Management, Marine IT as well as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), mentoring and has a strong background in IT training (including electronic messaging, identity management and Internet technologies), he has delivered lectures in English and in French throughout Europe, the United States and Australia.
Full course dates below:
January: 16th, 23rd and 30th
February: 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th
March: 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
April: 23rd, 30th
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the course a student should be able to build a computer from bare components, install an operating system of his choice on it, and configure it. Delegate will be able to build crimp from parts a network cable, connect the computer to the Internet, install a navigation system of his / her choice, including charts and at least one peripheral such as GPS, AIS, etc…
DELIVERY MODE
The above objective is the minimum required at the end of the course.
The agenda above can be delivered in two methods, basics & advanced, the difference lays in the amount of time spent on some modules such as radar integrator boards “RIBS”, moxas, splitters, converters isolators and how in depth certain protocol is covered.
The course is delivered over 13 sessions which includes lab work. There is two ways in which the course can be delivered, evenings or compressed into a week.

During the first week of October the National Maritime College of Ireland’s Simulation unit provided its first course for a group of Brazilian customers.
Following an initial enquiry (from Mr. Diogo Weberszpil do Amaral) for a ship handling course, the Simulation unit’s Captain Clive Hotham created a specialised course, to be run in the units’ 360° full mission bridge simulator, to provide the practical training that the group required.
The group consisted of four people, Mr. Diogo Weberpilz, Mr Eliel de Andrade, Mr. Fabio Sousa de Oliveira, Mr. Diogo Nery Monteiro, and all of whom are candidates in the current round of recruitment of Trainee Pilots for Brazilian Ports.
Mr. Diogo Weberpilz, Mr Eliel de Andrade, Captain Clive Hotham (Lecturer and simulation co-ordinator),Mr. Fabio Sousa de Oliveira, Mr. Diogo Nery Monteiro
The week consisted of lectures on ship handling theory, practical ship handling of different vessels in different situations, practical communications between ships and port control, and debriefing sessions to discuss how each practical session went.
Bridge Team at Work
In the practical sessions each person was given a particular role – Pilot, Captain, Officer, and Helmsman – to reinforce the need for team work on a ships bridge. This meant that each person performed the manoeuvres and when they were not acting as pilot could observe each other’s performance.
As the week progressed the abilities of the group improved greatly, each person gaining more confidence with each exercise.
“Helmsman” – Fabio, “Captain” –Eliel, “Officer” – Diogo, “Pilot” - Diogo
The week was a success and the feedback from the group was very positive. All the lecturers involved (Captains: Clive Hotham, Peter Walter, Cormac MacSweeney, and Roddy Cook) enjoyed working with the group during the week.
The NMCI Simulation unit is looking forward to the next group of Brazilian customers in December and beyond.
It is hoped that the Simulation unit can provide further training for more Brazilian customers; for courses ranging from this, to specialised courses for experienced pilots, and manoeuvring studies for pilots and ports.
