Course Description

introduction

Hydrocarbon cargoes in liquid or gas states are among the most in-demand commodities worldwide. Safe handling, transportation, and storage of these valuable
and hazardous cargoes are critical concerns addressed by various international organizations. This comprehensive Tanker and Terminal Safety: ISGOTT & SIGTTO Guidelines training course, provided by Demoura Lawson Consulting, is based on the guidelines set forth by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), including SOLAS & MARPOL Conventions, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), and the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH).

This training course focuses on cargo planning and transfer requirements, developing effective terminal management skills, and supporting safe transportation and storage
operations. It also emphasizes risk assessment, hazard identification, and equips tanker/terminal personnel with the knowledge to manage safe operations and respond professionally in emergency situations. Additionally, the course covers key safety measures and operational barriers in oil/gas tanker and terminal interfaces at both the management and personnel levels.
