Jetty Operational Safety

DESCRIPTION
Details the nature of the commonly carried liquefied gases, their differences and specific hazards. Discusses the various types of gas carriers, tanks, measurement, volume calculations, shore facilities and general safety requirements of these specialized cargoes.  The IGC Codes and latest industry practices will be reviewed.

OBJECTIVE Provides the technical fundamentals of liquefied gas and its safe carriage on marine tank vessels.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Masters, chief engineer officers, chief mates or second engineer officers, or any person having immediate responsibility for loading, discharging and care in transit or jetty operations
