The inert gas system is a critical safety system on board tankers and its importance is reflected in the way its operation is established in international conventions. This video is intended to amplify and emphasise companies’ own training and the material in the ship's IG manual. Computer graphics are used to give a detailed explanation of the various components that make up the IG system and show both the dilution and displacement methods of gas-freeing. The preparation of the system prior to use, its operation during cargo discharge and gas-freeing, and the importance of regular maintenance are also dealt with.
This video is intended for all ships required to have an International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Shipboard Oil Pollution Plan, a (SOPEP). Its primary audiences are the officers tasked with duties under the SOPEP and those who are responsible for exercising this plan.

Risk Management or Formal Safety Assessment is a concept whose time has come. Both superintendents ashore and senior managers on ships are continually bombarded with new legislation, new paperwork and new procedures. To select what really matters is becoming more difficult and time consuming. Risk management offers an effective way of prioritising what needs to be done to manage both commercial and shipboard operations in the most cost-effective and safety-conscious way.
This subject is of growing significance to seafarers as the incidence of attacks on merchant shipping by pirates, stowaways and drugs traffickers becomes more frequent and more violent.
