The states first and India's fifth 'Ship-In-Campus' facility named “Training Ship Vishwanath” was Inaugurated on 26th Oct. 2007 by Hon. Shri.

Ship-in- Campus consist of machineries like Main Engine, Auxiliary Engine, Auxiliary Boiler & Auxiliary Machineries like Bilge Pump, Ballast Pump, Sea Water Pump, Fresh Water Generator, Purifier, Oily Water Separator, Incinerator etc. All the system pipe lines of the Main engine & Auxiliary machineries have been designed as per the layouts found on board ship to give the cadets a practical understanding of the piping layout as found on board Merchant Navy Ships. Since the erection of the Ship-In-Campus many machineries& equipments have been added, to improve the practical knowledge of the cadets.
This laboratory is a model for scientific and academic work. MANET has proposed a unique Training Manual for learning which covers all competencies specified by STCW 95 code. The ship-in-campus training covers around 11 52 hrs. of practical training and ensures effectiveness as well as quality of training. The main objective of ship-in-campus is to familiarize cadets with on board ship machineries & systems, impart understanding of the working principle of all systems and the overall ship propulsion system along with the maintenance routine that needs to be rigorously followed by every marine engineer on board ships. The training imparted to MANET cadets in ship-in-campus will make them well versed with routine activities, maintenance & operational task which they are likely to work with on board ship. |
