Education

Danish Maritime Legislation for Foreign Senior Officers

Foreign senior officers obtain the necessary knowledge about Danish maritime legislation to work on board Danish vessels.

Sign-up

Foreign senior officers obtain the necessary knowledge about Danish maritime legislation to work on board Danish vessels, cf. the educational requirements of the training programme for courses in Danish shipping legislation for foreign senior officers except masters (version 2.0 of 1 March 2009). The relevant Danish maritime legislations, regulations and stipulations are covered during the course.

The course is either combined with an Occupational Safety & Health §16 course, which is required to attend our Danish Maritime Legislation course, or it is run as an upgrading course for officers who have already completed the §16 course.

Participants:

Foreign senior officers (chief officer or chief engineer/1st engineer) who are going to serve on board Danish ships.

The participant must fulfill the qualifications to apply for Danish recognition of foreign certificates as senior navigator or engineer.

Registration: 

We have launched a new registration system for our courses.

You register one or more students via the links above, just as you must change and cancel the registrations yourself, if necessary. All the necessary information is in the confirmation email you receive upon registration.

You are welcome to contact Peter Skytte, Training Adviser academy@danishshipping.dk, if you have any questions regarding registration or the courses.

Virtual Classroom courses are online courses conducted by an instructor. This means that the participants can get feedback, ask questions and talk to each other as if they were sitting in the same room.

The course is carried out as a combination of lectures and relevant tests.
