Course Description

INTRODUCTION

The Hydrocarbon Cargoes in Liquid or gas states are considered one of the highest demand commodities worldwide. Safe handling, transportation and storage operation of such valuable and dangerous cargoes are very important issues that was studied deeply and considered as a main concern of several international organisations.

This GLOMACS comprehensive ISGOTT & SIGTTO Requirements for Tanker and Oil & Gas Terminal Safe Operations training course was prepared based on the requirements of IMO represented in the requirements of SOLAS & MARPOL Conventions, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) and the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) organisations. All these organisation have come up with some guidance and requirements that were listed in ISGOTT in its latest version (Version 6) for the Petroleum / Oil Tankers & Terminals and SIGTTO for LPG & LNG Gas Carriers and Terminals.

The training course will emphasize cargo planning and transfer requirements and develop good terminal management skills and support transport & storage operations. The course shall identify the associated Risk Assessment & Hazard Identification to guide the tanker / terminal personnel to manage a safe transport / storage process and act professionally during contingency and emergency response situations. In addition, this training course will also cover the key points and barriers in oil/gas tankers and terminal interfaces measures in the workplace from the Management to the personal level.

Objectives

This attractive and technical training course provides guidance to individuals working onboard oil tankers / gas carriers and terminals concerning the safe transportation and handling of petroleum and gas products. The ISGOTT & SIGTTO Requirements for Tanker and Oil & Gas Terminal Safe Operations training course will assist the delegates in implementing the requirements of ISGOTT & SIGTTO that are included in the Safety Management System within their own company.

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

Understand the function of the international organisations such as IMO, OCIMF, MTCOT, ICS & IAPH)
overview of liquid bulk cargo handling such as the basic properties of liquefied gas and the principles of gas
Become acquainted with gas and liquid bulk cargo storage particularly the operations, storage tank types, Boil off gas recovery system
Identify the various flammability hazards associated with handling and be able to determine the hazards of hydrocarbon products as well as the precautions on tankers and terminals
Review and improve liaison between tanker and terminal and recognize the various requirements, guidelines and methods of handling of cargo and ballast
Become familiar with enclosed space entry, carriers & packaged cargoes in cargo handling and be able to recognize the emergency procedures
Familiarize with the Safety Management Systems (SMSs), including complementary tools and processes such as permits to work & risk assessment
Marine terminal administration and the critical importance of the tanker/terminal interface
Maritime security and linkage to both the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code

Training Methodology

This ISGOTT & SIGTTO training course will utilize a variety of proven professional learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The training course will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion between both delegates and the course expert tutor.
