Course Description  

This course is designed for senior officers requiring specialist training for CHEMICAL tanker operations at a management level. Based on the MNTB standard, the topics covered include:

• Physical and chemical properties of cargoes
• Sources of ignition and hazards associated with cargoes
• Crude oil washing, inert gas and nitrogen systems
• Enclosed space entry and gas detection instruments
• Impact of cargoes on health and their toxicity

Whilst primarily this course is designed for ship’s officers, shore based personnel such as those involved in liquid cargo handling on oil terminals will also benefit from attending this course. However, the STCW certificate will only be issued to those candidates who meet the pre-requisite for issuance of this certificate. Others will be issued with a letter of course attendance.
