Radar and Navigation Simulator (RANSCO) Course in Patna

RANSCO Training is an essential six-day certification that equips individuals working in the maritime industry with the knowledge needed to maneuver around a ship using radar for safe navigation purposes. This course is especially important when it comes to negotiating dense waterways and passing through difficult and constrained waters. Individuals will learn how to spot possible dangers and perform maneuvers necessary to avoid accidents in accordance with the COLREGS system. Another crucial aspect of the course is proper coordination of search-and-rescue operations from the ship's bridge.

Candidates interested in the RANSCO program must satisfy the following criteria before enrollment:

• Possession of a valid INDoS (Indian National Database of Seafarers) number is mandatory.

• For those holding a Certificate of Competency under STCW95 II/1 or II/1 NCV, prior completion of both the Radar Observation Simulator Course (ROSC) and the ARPA course is required.

• Official INDoS Identification

• Continuous Discharge Certificate (CDC) with authenticated sea service records

• Valid ROSC and ARPA training certificates

• Current Medical Fitness Certificate issued by a D.G. Shipping Approved Physician

• Valid Passport
