WWW.IJUBOA.COM : Marine Operations for Jack up Barges Many offshore construction operations require the use of a stable platform to perform activities such as foundation and wind farm installation. Self-elevating platforms (jacking rigs and self-propelled jack-up barges) provide a flexible and safe working environment. The jack-up barge industry is set to grow significantly as investments in offshore (renewable) energy generation increases. Efficiency and safety depends greatly on the knowledge, skills and competences of the persons in charge of managing the operation of the jack up barge, such as positioning and jacking of the platform. The IJUBOA four day modular training course is specifically developed to cover an understanding of the range of risks associated with the safe deployment of jack-ups and a corresponding understanding of how to manage them. Uniquely, the course has been approved as a Customised Award by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) making the Award an internationally recognised and audited standard known to the HSE and MCA. CPD points can also be gained through the Nautical Institute.
