Aims
To introduce students to the role and regulations and their impact on vessel design, construction and operation: health and safety, and environment. To examine the role of IMO and classification societies and their relationship with the national and international regulatory bodies.
Outline Of Syllabus
This module will include three basic themes as follows:
Maritime law: National waters, international waters, insurance, port entry, shipping and offshore operations in national, international and foreign waters.
Marine regulatory bodies and their roles; IMO, National maritime authorities, UK MCA, EU regulations on shipping and shipbuilding, Health and safety. Areas to be covered are the various IMO conventions and codes (e.g. SOLAS, Load Line. MARPOL Conventions; IGC, IBC, MODU, ISM Codes; STCW, COLREG etc), EU standards on ship construction, safety and operation, including environmental impact.
The classification societies and their work: design and construction, in service inspection and surveying, ISO standards, approval of manufacturing goods. Activities of IACS and its member societies.
This module will include preschool reading, examples, an intensive school (five days), and a post school assignment.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Students are encouraged to develop their knowledge and understanding of the subject by independent reading for which they are given guidance in the distance learning material (IKO1). The preschool study is reinforced via lectures during the intensive school itself. The use of design during the intensive school, a work-based assessment and application after the intensive school also enable the students to learn. Subject specific skills (e.g. IT and project planning) are developed via the distance learning material, which is delivered by a web-based system (blackboard). Cognitive skills (problem solving/ decision making) are taught primarily through case studies and design classes, and developed through a work based assignment. Key transferable skills (communication, time management, ability to work alone etc) are developed through a work based post school assignment and via completion of the module itself, including the distance learning material (ISO1-10).
