This Attractive training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Marine Terminal Facility Managers and Coordinators
• Terminal Superintendents, Supervisors and Engineers
• Cargo Transfer Supervisors
• Marine Shipping Coordinators
• Safety and Environmental Managers, Engineers and Officers

This Ship Shore Safety Check List Training Course will be conducted along practical principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples. There will be ample opportunities for active discussion and sharing professional experiences and exchange that will help solidify the gained knowledge including several discussion & brain Storming from real cases. The course will be presented also will be several illustrative and instructive videos. The emphasis in this training course will be on the explanation of all technical points and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday situations related to operation and management of terminal facilities and its interface with all types of tankers.
