1. Title of the Program: -B.Sc. ( Nautical Science )
Program Code: –42300006
2. Preamble / Scope: -
P R E A M B L E
This course is an integral part of the overall shipboard structured training programme
for the prospective navigating officer and guidelines set by DG Shipping of India . The
course is residential in nature and of Three -year duration comprising of six semesters of
six months each.
The prospective navigating officer will be trained for 12 months onboard ship in
practical application of the theory learnt. Thereafter at th e end of this structured
programme, a “contact programme” for four months (optional) may be conducted at
any of the DG approved Institute to prepare the Cadets for a written & oral examination
conducted by the Director General of Shipping, Ministry of Surf ace Transport,
government of India.
On successful completion of the Programme a Cadet will be awarded a degree of B.Sc.
(Nautical Science) by University of Mumbai and a Certificate of Competency by Govt.
of India, which will enable him to become an offic er on a merchant ship.
A Pre -Sea Navigating Officer Cadet successfully completing the three years
programme would acquire basic knowledge and understanding of the types of merchant
ships, ship operations, types of goods carried by ships, shipping trade, and a foundation
in the basic principles of navigation and environmental science.
The course is designed to impart:
~ Theory and practice of seamanship and ship knowledge.
~ Good foundation in principles of navigation and introduction to celestial Nav igation.
~ Practical knowledge of chart work and cargo work.
~ Detailed study of atmosphere and use of meteorological instruments in connection
with weather reporting.
~ Knowledge of ship construction and ship stability.
Page 6
~ Regular practice in Morse code signaling, in addition to International Code of Signals
and use of VHF and R/T.
~ Practical training in handling a lifeboat and motorboat.
~ One Project related to shipping industry to be under taken.
~ Study of envir onmental protection with reference to MARPOL 73/78 as amended.
~ Study of various SCTW courses.
~ Study of basic Marine Engineering and drawing.
Practical Training in carpentry shop, plumbing shop, machine shop, electrical shop and
maintenance worksh op including Electric Arc welding and Gas welding, Hydraulics,
Pneumatics and Diesel Engine maintenance.
Objective
This course is designed to assist a prospective navigating officer in achieving the
minimum standards of competence for officers in charg e of navigational watch on ships
of 500 GT or more as specified in Regulation II/1, Table A -1 of STCW 1978, as
amended.
This course is aimed at preparing the trainee to develop a right attitude towards tasks
and duties assigned to him during the on -board training programme in learning the job
of being a ship's officer and in achieving the overall standard of competence as
required.
Salient features
• As under the preview of D.G Shipping, it’s a fully residential course
• Students’ daily routine starts from 6: 00 o’clock in the morning till 9 :00 in the
evening, as per the requirement on board ships
• Morning exerci se, parade, evening sports and 1 hour of self study classes 6 days
a week is the part of daily routine.
• Trekking, dock visits, ship visit s is a part of curriculum apart from other
extracurricular and sports activities
Page 7
Note: The conduct of STCW courses is strictly conducted as per the guidelines of D.G
Shipping; who in turn being directed by International Marit ime Organization. T hese
guide lines may be modified/ changed time to time as instructed by D.G Shipping
through its training circulars or as the case may be.
