Passage Planning 1 day course
Our team provide support and help you understand the concepts and theory of Passage Planning
What we cover
At Captain Barry Sadler Maritime Training Academy, we understand how challenging the stability priciples and calculations can be but, also how important they are. That’s why we offer 121 sessions to provide the best posible chance of opasssing first time or to off supoort if you need to resist. We equip you with all the necessary tools to apply your theoretical knowledge on board your own vessel.
