175,00 

This course provides essential safety protocols and operational guidelines for managing cargo hold atmospheres, focusing on the critical procedures for ventilation and fumigation. Participants will learn how to determine optimal ventilation requirements based on dew point calculations to prevent cargo sweat and ship sweat, ensuring the protection of moisture-sensitive commodities. Additionally, the training emphasizes the strict safety standards required during pesticide and fumigant application—including gas detection, monitoring for toxic gas leakage, and calculating safe entry times—equipping deck officers with the skills needed to protect crew health, avoid asphyxiation hazards, and maintain cargo quality throughout the voyage.
