Z-Drive Training  - Basic                    

This 16 hour course introduces the student to Z-Drive propulsion systems and basic tug handling techniques. This course involves some classroom time, however, a majority of the time is spent on our tug simulator. Students will operate both Azimuth Stern Drive and Tractor Z-Drive tugs. Z–Drive propulsion theory and practical application, hand eye coordination, docking/undocking, ship approach & ship work, stability & hawser work are just some of the subject areas covered in this course. This course is limited to 2 students in order to maximize simulation time. This course can be custom designed to meet company specific needs.

 Price:  $995.00
