    Brief

    This opportunity seeks a training provider to deliver manned model ship handling courses for senior Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) deck officers. The training should develop participants' existing maritime skills and provide practical experience in understanding the behavior and handling characteristics of large vessels. Special emphasis must be placed on slow speed control techniques, which are critical for safe maneuvering in constrained waters and port operations. Suitable providers should have expertise in maritime training delivery, access to manned model ship simulation facilities, and experience working with naval personnel. The course should combine theoretical instruction with hands-on practical training using scaled vessel models to build confidence and competency in advanced ship handling scenarios.
