Course Description

This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Safety in all types of operations is the key factor in ensuring that a company always maintains its position about the profit line, both efficiently and ethically. It is critical to the well-being and reputation of the tanker and terminal industry. In today?s global oil and gas markets, terminal, offshore, tank and transport operators are faced with increasing risk constraints and challenges stemming from complex cargo and terminal operations coupled with tighter safety, security and environmental regulations. This course is required to provide sufficient competence for regulatory HID inspectors involved in carrying out inspections at jetties associated with ship-to-shore transfer of hazardous substances, whilst ensuring their personal health and safety within a hazardous environment. Those parts of the course covering issues of regulation policy and practice will be presented by HSE staff. The participants to the course will consist of gas & pipeline specialist regulators and chemical industry regulatory inspectors who deal with refinery/fuel storage facilities linked to tanker jetties, plus small number of specialist in the fields of process safety, human factors, etc.The course will provide the technical fundamentals of liquefied gas and its safe carriage on marine tank vessels. It will describe the parties involved, equipment, procedures and documentation applicable across the entire process of tanker berthing, loading and unloading as well as the health, safety and environmental aspects, and their applicability to the different products handled. Participants of the course will have the technical knowledge required to serve on a tanker and be assigned specific duties and responsibilities related to cargo or cargo equipment. Further, participants will be able to gain sufficient knowledge of the practical application of the basic principles and concepts of safe tanker operations in order to carry out these duties.
