Who is this course for?
Meet the latest SOLAS and STCW requirements with our STCW Passenger Safety, Cargo Safety & Hull Integrity Training for Ro-Ro Passenger Ships (Table A-V/2-2)—the essential certification for masters, deck and engine officers, pursers, loading officers, ratings assigned to embarkation stations, vehicle-deck crews, hotel and catering staff, security teams and shore-side ramp operators serving on ferries and RoPax vessels.
This intensive module prepares you to:
-
assess and secure vehicle decks for roll-over and fire hazards;
-
apply safe‐loading calculations, lashings and dangerous-goods segregation;
-
monitor hull-integrity systems and watertight doors;
-
manage passenger information, mustering and crowd flow in an emergency;
-
coordinate with the Cargo Officer and Ship Security Officer during drills and real incidents.
Updated for the 2010 Manila Amendments, MSC.402(96) lifeboat guidelines and recent IMO cyber-risk advisories, the course blends case-study analysis of high-profile Ro-Ro casualties, interactive cargo-loading simulations and practical damage-control exercises.
Why enrol? Port-state inspectors, P&I insurers and chartering companies demand a valid Passenger- and Cargo-Safety certificate for anyone responsible for vehicle decks or passenger care; sailing without one can lead to detentions, cancelled sailings and personal liability. Completing this training proves you can protect lives, cargo and hull integrity—keeping schedules on track and boosting your employability across the global RoPax fleet.
