LNG Deck / Cargo Management Basic course (SIGTTO) – 5 days

This course is designed for those who already have some LNG experience, this course follows the syllabus set out by SIGTTO in their suggested LNG competence standard (second edition 2008) at the operational level. It is approved by DNV as meeting the requirements of the SIGTTO suggested LNG competence standard.

The course will improve the knowledge, understanding and practical skills of those persons involved in operational level in the handling of LNG on ships or terminals.

This course focuses on ensuring understanding of the principles involved, and the undertaking of all cargo operations carried out on an LNG carrier, in a safe and efficient manner.
