Overview

Advanced technical loading elements, operations, practical and commercial concerns in liquid and gas loading operations are covered in this training course on Loading  for Oil, LNG, Gas, and Petrochemical Terminals.

Everything from transportation and terminal operations to fiscal metering of liquids and gases, product quality assurance, loading and discharging procedures for petrochemical tankers, measurement of product quality during custody transfer, and calculations related to LNG metering are part of this.

Oil, gas, petrochemical, crude oil, and LNG terminal operators can benefit from this 5-day practical training session in Loading. Getting an edge over the competition while keeping your operational processes and employees up to date.

§  Discover the whole process chain for liquids, gases, and LNG.

§  Gain a comprehensive understanding of the most recent developments in cargo transfer operations from the viewpoints of terminal/facility management and liquid/gas ship operations. Ensure precise measurements and calculations for all transfers of custody, including product quality.

§  Research the regulations and standards for the safe transfer of liquids and gases between ships and land.

§  Analyze actual accidents involving liquids and gases from across the world in case studies.

 Attendance?

LNG & LPG operators, supervisors, leaders, shipowners and operators, surveyors, and marine superintendents are among the many people whose jobs it is to load, discharge, transfer custody of, or otherwise handle cargo.
