This video training package, which focuses on competence in the use of chemicals
to control water quality.
Aimed at junior engineers, this video can be used to supplement on-board training.
It stresses that the use of water is fundamental to a ship’s safety and operational
efficiency and emphasises the importance of familiarity with the vessel’s water
systems and their specific requirements.
The video covers chemical water treatment in the ship’s evaporator, main engine
cooling system and the boiler.
It deals with handling and the safe storage of chemicals on board ship in order to
meet health and safety criteria.
An engineer on board a container vessel demonstrates methods of taking and
