Course Description
For all vessel operators the issue of environmental pollution is becoming increasingly problematic. The requirements to comply with MARPOL Annex 6 have made air pollution one of the areas which ship owners and operators will have to address. Using LNG as a fuel is one way to reduce airborne pollution from ships. It also has different problems to address when operating a vessel with LNG on-board as a fuel. This BTS training course is intended to highlight these issues and provide a means to manage them. The IGF code details the requirements of ships using LNG as a bunker fuel, and this BTS training course will provide an insight to the means to comply with that code.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
This training course will highlight:
- Design and operational characteristics of ships subject to the IGF Code
- Precautions to minimise and manage hazards on a ship subject to the IGF Code
- Precautions to prevent pollution of the environment
- Monitoring and controlling compliance with legislative requirements
- Application of occupational health and safety measures
