ADVANCED TRAINING FOR LIQUEFIED GAS TANKER CARGO OPERATIONS — MODEL COURSE 1.05

The present IMO Model Course 1.05 was developed specifically for the crew members of the liquefied gas tankers, from Master and chief officers to actually anyone responsible for the loading and discharging of the cargo, its handling and care whilst in transit, including cleaning of the cargo tanks and all other activities related to this.

The trainees who have successfully completed this program, will be considered fulfilling the mandatory training requirements as outlined in the STCW Convention, Reg. V/1-2 para 3. The coverage of this training course is impressive and includes the safety of the liquid gas tankers, fire prevention and fire extinction arrangements on board, control and prevention of the pollution of marine environment from the ships, and of course all established operational procedures and practices together with the applicable regulatory framework.

In fact it covers literally all training requirements. In addition to that, the training program also covers the important aspects of management on board, particularly risk assessment plus proper safety management and contingency planning in compliance with the relevant provisions of the International Safety Management Code.
