IMC NON-STEM G1

“What I learned from the Midterm Class In IMC”

There are a lot of things that I’ve learned about the IMC subject, this subject gives me
more knowledge or idea about my course, the things that I need to remember onboard a
ship when I become a seafarer, like this subject preparing me what I’m going to face
onboard the ship.
First about this (SOLAS) safety of life at sea, I only have I little understanding about this
(SOLAS), that regulates basic safety aspects for ships international, like requirements of
a ship to pass, enable to sail on the sea intended for the safety of the seafarers. The
topic that I like the most in the midterm lesson is the different types of ships, the ship
that I’m only familiar is a RoRo (Roll on Roll off) vessel, that this vessel carry’s a car,
van, motorcycle, truck that have a foods or products and etc. I also learn that the big
RoRo (Roll on Roll off) vessel in the world is in the MV tonsberg of the Norwegian
shipping company and built by Mitsubishi heavy industry. The other ship are the bulk
carrier, container carrier, log ship, livestock carrier, tanker, chemical carrier, crude oil
carrier and etc. the ship that have been mentioned have the different purpose by it
design and even what kind ship or carrier you are working, example: if you transfer to
other shipping company if you are a marine engineering your job still the same because
you’re working or assign on engine works. I also learned that the left side of the ship
called portside, the right side called starboard and the back of the ship called stern.
The last part that I’ve learned in the midterm lesson is the parts of the ship, I will not
discuss all of the parts of the ship but, I’m already familiar about their looks and also the
ship dimensions, that measure the depth of the water line in the ship to the seafloor and
the width and length of the ship that tackle in the last part and I’m every great full that in
this midterm lesson there a lot of things that make it clearer in my mind about may
course that being a seafarer is not a simple job to take, that I need to learn more about
the maritime industry that’s all thank you.
