According to the STCW including the Amendments of Manila of 2010, column 2 (recognitions, understanding and sufficiency) of picture A-III/6 • Operation of all the systems side for the internal communications.
• Knowledge of the principles and the procedures of maintenance of the navigation equipment and the systems of internal and external communications.
• Theoretical knowledge: operation of the electrical equipment and electronic in inflammable zones.
• Practical knowledge: to execute without risks the procedures of maintenance and repair. Detection of failures of operation of the machines, location of failures and measures to prevent the failures.
According to the STCW including the Amendments of Manila of 2010, based on electrical systems, electronic and of control at operational level, picture A-III/6 it is added:
A subject of alarms and systems of monitoring (regulation and control)
A subject of technology of the electronic equipments (Science and Engineering of materials)
A subject of electrical risks in the maintenance (electrical Maintenance of the ship)
• Hydraulic and electropneumatic systems (Auxiliary equipment of the ship)
The development and overcoming of these contents, along with the corresponding ones to other matters that include the acquisition of specific competitions of the degree, guarantee the knowledge, understanding and sufficiency of the competitions picked up in picture AIII/2, of Agreement STCW, related to the level of management of Engineering officer of First of Marina Mercante, without limitation of power of the power plant and Engine room chief of Merchant Maritime until a maximum of 3000 KW.

Picture A-III/2 of Agreement STCW.
