Course Intro

Maintaining stability is critical to the safe and efficient operations of Mobile Offshore Units (MOU). Thus the comprehensive stability course has been designed to deliver theoretical knowledge of stability criteria for semi-submersibles, drill ships (mono hull) and jack-up rigs, and enables the participants to

calculate and assess the stability of a MOU. Our experienced trainer will provide hands-on examples and a good understanding of how stability is managed in daily operations.

The course fulfills the competence requirements related to stability for Ballast Control Operators, Barge Masters, Barge Engineers, and Offshore Installation Managers as stated in IMO Resolution A.1079 (28).
