Vessel Operations
Terminal Management & Operations
Security & Safety and other essential topics related to Export/Import Oil & Gas

Objectives

Gain in-depth knowledge on operations & management of oil & gas marine terminals
Recognize the international regulations & requirements for the oil & gas marine terminals
Apply proper planning techniques in storage & transfer systems and command of the various planning and transfer requirements for oil & gas marine terminal
Discuss the different vessel operations in the oil & gas marine terminal such as oil tankers (crude & product) and gas carriers (LNG / LPG)
Develop good terminal management skills and employ various terminal support operations such as berthing support, cargo transfer support, emergency response and vessel departure support
Apply proven safe practices and procedures during the various operations in oil & gas terminals and manage oil spill contingency and emergency response plans
Employ the latest qualitative and quantitative risk assessment techniques in oil & gas marine terminal operations

Training Methodology

The seminar will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures, case studies and interactive worked examples. Relevant case studies will be provided to illustrate the application of each tool in an operations environment. Each learning point will be re-enforced with practical exercises. There will be ample opportunities for discussion and sharing experiences.
