Module 3 – Active Escort & Dynamic Ship Assist: In this module we shall take the high level of tug control you learnt in Modules 1 & 2 then apply them to servicing a ship whilst in active escort mode. There are twenty-five (25) individual exercises that can be completed either on-board or in the simulator. This includes a Module 1 competency circuit, an initial Module 2 competency circuit and a final competency assessment. You will complete each of these to a satisfactory standard before moving onto the next. If your training is in the simulator you will also complete additional exercises.This is a challenging course but also an extremely rewarding one. Driving an ASD/ATD tug to this high standard can only be achieved with repetitive practise over and over again. In effect we are programming your brain so that when you are undertaking solo operations and it is 02:00, blowing a gale, pouring with rain, you are tired and things are not going to plan your good driving habits and competency will instinctively come to the fore. Consequently, the tug will be driven to a high standard and you will be free to concentrate on what is happening around you rather than on how to drive the tug. To achieve this, we must set high standards for ourselves during training and continually repeat correct techniques so as to develop good driving habits and avoid bad ones.
