Course Description

Introduction

Liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon cargoes are among the commodities with the highest global demand. Safe handling, shipping, and storage of such precious and hazardous commodities are critical matters that have been well researched and are top priorities for a number of international organizations. 

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), and the requirements of the IMO as reflected in the SOLAS and MARPOL Conventions were the basis for the preparation of this Course N Carry ISGOTT & SIGTTO Requirements for the Operations and Safety of Tankers and Oil & Gas Terminals training course. These organizations have all developed guidelines and specifications that were included in ISGOTT's most recent version (Version 6) for the Petroleum / Oil Tankers & Terminals and SIGTTO for LPG & LNG Gas Carriers and Terminals.

Developing strong terminal management abilities, supporting transport and storage operations, and emphasizing cargo planning and transfer needs are all goals of the training program. The workshop will include risk assessment and hazard identification in order to help tanker and terminal staff manage a safe transport and storage procedure and behave appropriately in emergency and contingency circumstances. The main topics and obstacles related to oil and gas tankers and terminal interaction measures in the workplace, from the managerial to the individual level, will also be covered in this training session.

Goals

This engaging and sophisticated training program offers personnel operating onboard gas carriers, oil tankers, and terminals advice on the safe handling and transportation of petroleum and gas products. The training course ISGOTT & SIGTTO Requirements for the Operations and Safety of Tankers and Oil & Gas Terminals will help the delegates execute the ISGOTT & SIGTTO requirements that are part of the Safety Management System in their own organization. 

The following goals will be accomplished by the delegates: 

  • Recognize the role played by international organizations including the IAPH, IMO, OCIMF, MTCOT, and ICS. 
  • Overview of handling liquid bulk cargo, including the fundamentals of gas handling and the characteristics of liquefied gas 
  • Learn about the operations, kinds of storage tanks, and bulk cargo storage for gas and liquid. Recovery of boil-off gas system
  • Recognize the different flammability risks connected to handling, be able to assess the risks of hydrocarbon products, and know what safety measures to take on tankers and terminals.
  • Examine and strengthen the relationship between the tanker and the terminal, and be aware of the different regulations, policies, and procedures for managing ballast and cargo.
  • Learn about cargo handling's enclosed space entrance, carriers, and packed goods. Also, become familiar with the emergency protocols. 
  • Learn about Safety Management Systems (SMSs), along with related tools and procedures including work permits and risk assessment. 
  • Administration of marine terminals and the vital role of the tanker/terminal interface
