SYLLABUS (4th Revision)

One year Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) leading
to B.Sc. (Applied Nautical Science) Degree
PREAMBLE
The syllabus for the One year Diploma in Nautical Science
(DNS) leading to B.Sc. (Applied Nautical Science) Degree has been
drawn by a high powered committee constituted by IMU under the
guidance of the Vice-Chancellor. The Syllabus is drawn up keeping
the objective of providing education and training, including
competencies that one would require to progress in the career from a
Cadet to a Master Mariner.
The syllabus contents have been drawn up keeping in mind the

country’s sound education system at the 10+2 level, which is the
entry level qualification for this programme.
A Nautical Science career in academic areas demands very high

level of knowledge and competencies in Navigation, Seamanship,
Cargo handling and Ship Operations.
A Nautical Science career in non-academic areas, demands a

very high level of discipline and overall growth of an Officer to take
up a highly demanding job of a Navigating Officer aboard a modern
merchant ship. In view of this, a highly integrated education and
training schedule is drawn up to provide for development of the
extracurricular faculties of an individual. This includes the necessary
regimental training in uniform for disciplined education.
The 36 months programme includes 12 months of pre-sea

training (First six months & Second six months), 18 months of on
board training, followed by 6 months of post sea training for
preparation of Second Mate (Foreign Going) Competency
Examination.
One Year Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) Syllabus
The 12 month DNS syllabus has been drawn to provide

underpinning knowledge and competencies for growth of an
individual at ascending levels onboard ship and later ashore. In depth
training is imparted in specialized fields of shipping like Terrestrial
and Celestial Navigation; Bridge Equipment, Watch keeping,
Meteorology and Oceanography; Chart work; Cargo Handling,
Stowage and Seamanship; Ship Construction & Ship Stability and
MARPOL & Marine Engineering Knowledge. Training is also
imparted in English and Human factors, teaching the cadet the
importance of teamwork, leadership, positive attitude and
interpersonal relationships. Also included is Maritime History and
Commerce. The Syllabus includes theoretical and practical aspects of
subjects like Applied Mathematics, Applied Sciences and Computers.
The syllabus incorporates English language training and Human
Resource Development training. The set of books to be issued by the institutes
have been prescribed. Reference books for the Institute Library have also been
recommended.
Keeping in mind significant changes made to STCW Convention in

2010 and also the latest amendments and the revised Second Mate syllabus,
the Syllabus Revision Committee has revised the DNS Syllabus 2012 in Feb
2015 and now in July 2018.
“The revision of 2018 was significant because “English, Human factors &
Maritime History” got revised in content and duration and kept in Semester I
as earlier. But the practical named as “Communication English Laboratory”
got placed in Semester II with revision in content and duration.”
Also the practical “Workshop Practices & Seaman Ship” got revised in
duration for Semester II.
The new Question Templates which were developed as the outcome of

Workshop Conducted at IMU Navi-Mumbai Campus in January 2018
have been placed altogether for each semester at the end of syllabus for
the semesters in this booklet.
This DNS syllabus 2018 will be effective from August 2018 Batches onward.
On successful completion of training along with five basic modular
courses and passing the examinations, the cadet will be awarded a Diploma in
Nautical Science and will be eligible for onboard training.
July 2018 Syllabus Revision Committee

DNS Syllabus 2015 has been revised (minor) in July 2018.
Syllabus revision Committee under Chairmanship of Capt. Mihir Chandra,

Convener School board of nautical studies was constituted with following
members:
1. Capt. K.N. Iyer (Dean Nautical, Tolani Maritime Institute)

2. Capt. Sureen Narang (Principal, Anglo Eastern Maritime Academy)

8 Safe Working Reference to Code of Safe Working Practices: U 12.0 06.0 Mooring plans
Practices 8.1 Define "hazard" as a source of potential harm or damage
or any situation which has potential for harm or damage
Define “Risk assessment” as a careful examination of hazards
that, could cause harm to 'people', 'pollution' of
environment, damage to 'property' and/or loss of
'process' (rule of 4 P's)
State that "Risk" has two elements as given below:
· the 'likelihood' that a hazard may occur;
· the 'consequences' of the hazardous event.
State that "Risk" can be controlled by one or more of the
below actions which are listed in the order of its
effectiveness:
1. Elimination;
2. Substitution by something which is less hazardous and risky;
3. Enclosure (enclose the hazard in a way to eliminate/ control
the risk)
4. Guarding/Segregating people away from the hazard;
5. Device safer system of work which will reduce the risk to
acceptable level
6. By writing down procedures in a way which is known and
understood by those affected;
7. By adopting a blend of technical and procedural control;
8. By providing adequate supervision;
9. By identification of training needs;
10. Providing proper Information/Instruction (signs, hand-outs);
41

Learning
Area)
11. By using proper 'Personal Protective Equipment' (as the last
resort, if risk cannot be controlled by any other means)
8.2 State that as per requirements under COSWP, every

sea-going ship which has more than five crew members,
a Safety Officer needs to be appointed.
State that it is Safety Officer's duty to do health and safety
inspections of every part of the ship at least once in three
months, or more frequently if required.
State that a 'Safety Committee' should be constituted on board
ships which must be chaired by the master and should
include safety officer as well as elected safety
representatives from all departments as its members.
State that as a general guideline, the 'Safety Committee' should
try to meet atleast once about every 4-6 weeks.
State that it is a mandatory requiremrnt that the relevant extracts
of every 'SafetyCommittee Meeting' minutes be forwarded
by the master to the Company (and where appropriate,
to the Employers)
8.3 State that any operation on board ship where the actions
of one person may inadvertently endanger another or where
a series of actions need to be taken to ensure the safety of
those engaged in that operation, a 'Permit to Work' needs to
be issued before starting of the work.
State that a "Permit-to-work" by itself will not make the job safe,
but it just contributes towards measures required for safe
working
List the essential conditions to include in a 'permit to work' as
given below:
(a) The permit should clearly state the location and details of the
work to be done,the nature and results of any preliminary
tests undertaken, the measure sundertaken to make the
job safe and the safeguards that need to be taken during
the operation.
(b) The permit should clearly specify the period of its validity
(which should not exceed 24 hours in any case)
(c) Only the work which is specified on the permit should
be undertaken.
(d) Before signing the permit, the authorising officer should
42

Learning
Area)
ensure that all measures specified as necessary have
in fact been taken.
(e) The authorising officer retains responsibility for the work until
he has either cancelled the permit or formally transferred
it to another authorised person who
should sign the permit to
indicate transfer of full responsibility.
(f) The person responsible for carrying out the work shall
counter sign the permit to indicate his understanding of the
safety precautions needed.
(g) On completion of the work, that person should notify
the responsible officer and get the permit cancelled.
(h) The person carrying out the specified work should not be the
same person as the authorising officer.
8.4 State that "Permit-to-Work" needs to be issued for any
critical jobs including:
– Any work in Unmanned Machinery Spaces
– Any work which requires 'Entry into any Enclosed
or Confined Space'
– Any work on any Machinery or Equipment which requires
power isolation
– Any job involving 'Hot Work'
– Working Aloft or Overside
