Why Choose this Training Course?

For all vessel operators the issue of environmental pollution is becoming increasingly problematic. The requirements to comply with MARPOL Annex 6 have made air pollution one of the areas which ship owners and operators will have to address. Using LNG as a fuel is one way to reduce airborne pollution from ships. It also has different problems to address when operating a vessel with LNG on-board as a fuel. This PetroKnowledge training course is intended to highlight these issues and provide a means to manage them. The IGF code details the requirements of ships using LNG as a bunker fuel, and this PetroKnowledge training course will provide an insight to the means to comply with that code.

This training course will highlight:

Design and operational characteristics of ships subject to the IGF Code
Precautions to minimise and manage hazards on a ship subject to the IGF Code
Precautions to prevent pollution of the environment
Monitoring and controlling compliance with legislative requirements
Application of occupational health and safety measures

What are the Goals?

By the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, participants will learn to:

Understand why using LNG fuel can be beneficial
Manage the use of LNG fuel on ships
Communicate with bunker terminals and suppliers
Manage any emergencies involving LNG fuel
Understand the different fuel system configurations

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit any person who deals with any aspect of LNG fuel used in ship operations. This may not be direct involvement but may require individuals particularly at a higher level who should understand the issues with using LNG as a fuel. In particular:

Senior Management with high level responsibility for vessel operations
Fleet Managers
Technical Managers
Vessel personnel
Personnel at the vessel/ bunker facility interface

How will this Training Course be Presented?

Participants to this training course will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the seminar outline with the Tutor utilizing a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. Seminar methodology includes.

The structure for this course is based around a power point presentation supported by video clips and class-based exercises. Examples of the properties and problems that can be encountered with the cargoes can be demonstrated. Exercises will be based on scenarios that have happened or will be comparable to real time incidents. All exercises will use standard IMO/ Flag state pro- forma.

Organisational Impact

Improves individual understanding of the impact of LNG fuel can have
