Why Choose this Training Course?
Why Choose this Training Course?
The Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industry is very much a growth industry with both demand and supply likely to continue to increase in the short to medium term. Much shore-based activity depends on the expedient and safe operation of the LNG tanker. Office-based staff have little opportunity to engage with sea staff and even less to be given a comprehensive understanding of ship-board operations.
This PetroKnowledge training course incorporates the activities and concerns of the LNG tanker within the context of a dry dock to dry dock cargo cycle. Beyond this, each aspect of design and safe operation, including the operation of relevant machinery and equipment and the physics of LNG re-liquefaction will also be covered and included.
This training course will highlight
- The properties and hazards of handling LNG
- How design can enhance safe operation of LNG tankers
- The stages of a cargo cycle
- Preparation for dry dock and the first cargo after dry dock
- Measures to protect the commercial interests of an LNG tanker owner
