Course Description

Introduction

Personnel involved in petroleum depot operations who wish to learn more about efficient depot management, storage, design standards, depot automation, and warehouse control should take the Course N Carry training course. 

When it comes to developing and implementing an internal management model along the business chain that has to deal with depot operations management, most organisations with growth aspirations have committed a significant amount of time and resources to plan their expansion strategies.

This training session on Course N Carry will emphasise: 

  • Examine the various custody transfer guidelines that are currently in use. 
  • Analyse the process used to track and manage production losses. 
  • Recognise the dynamics of the distribution and storage of oil products. 
  • Find out about the environmental, health, and safety elements of depot operations. 

Goals

This Course N Carry training programme has been carefully crafted to address performance challenges in the various corporate value chain segments. It does this by introducing fresh ideas that will challenge preconceived notions about how to solve complicated operational problems in depots.
