Mobile Offshore Units are becoming increasingly sophisticated and their operation is certainly complex. Superintendents therefore play a critical role in MOU management, ensuring safe and efficient operations and ultimately economic success. The superintendent's ability to grasp the full extent of the regulatory regime, identify hazards, analyse the risks, evaluate the different options and take further action, determines the future success and even survival of any company working in this sector.

The course focuses on:

  • The maritime safety regime
  • Interrelation between MOU owners, class societies, insurers, flag authorities and shelf state authorities
  • The role of class societies and class systematics
  • Practical implications of statutory and shelf regulations
  • Hull inspections
  • Mooring systems
  • Machinery systems
  • Electrical and instrumentation systems
  • Special class notations (e.g. DRILL, PROD, BATTERY)
  • Rules & regulations updates
  • Lay-up and re-activation of units
  • Survey principles and schemes, smart classification using DNV digital tools
