Special course program


Special course program means the alternative LNG Cargo Operations - Management Level (SIGTTO) course, which is best suited to those
who already have some LNG experience and follows the syllabus set out by SIGTTO in their suggested LNG competence standard (second
edition 2008) at the management level.
The course follows the same dry-dock to dry-dock voyage cycle as the LNG Tanker Operations course but includes a wider range of subjects
as set out in the SIGTTO syllabus:

• Familiarization and understanding of LNG transportation requirements


• Manage and operate safety systems and equipment
• Prepare and implement a detailed plan for the entire cargo cycle
• Monitor and review cargo operations
• Plan for and manage cargo operations under non-standard conditions
• Plan for and manage cargo operations under emergency conditions
• Ensure the integrity of cargo containment, cargo equipment and cargo related spaces
• Awareness of the commercial aspects of LNG transportation

Note: during training course theoretical lessons are given using PowerPoint presentations,
practical tasks are conducted on SAFE Cargo - Liquefied Natural Gas Tanker Model (Membrane) - L3-DPA Simulations Group.
