Ship Marine Welding Training – Complete Overview
🔧 What is Ship Marine Welding Training?
Ship Marine Welding Training is a specialized program designed to train welders to work in shipbuilding, marine maintenance, and offshore fabrication. It focuses on welding techniques, materials, and safety practices required in marine environments, where strength, durability, and corrosion resistance are critical.
This training is aligned with global marine certification standards such as:
- DNV (Det Norske Veritas)
- ABS (American Bureau of Shipping)
- Lloyd’s Register (LR)
- IRCLASS (Indian Register of Shipping)
🎯 Objectives of Marine Welding Training
- To develop skilled marine welders capable of working on ships, tankers, submarines, and offshore platforms.
- To ensure welders understand the challenges of marine welding like saltwater corrosion, confined spaces, and dynamic loads.
- To meet classification society requirements for marine welding certification.
- To improve job readiness for work in shipyards and offshore construction projects.
