INTODUCTION:
A substance that would be a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure is called a liquefied gas. To facilitate bulk transportation, gases are liquefied. The majority of liquefied petroleum gases, or LPGs, are hydrocarbons. Due to their flammable nature, these are extremely dangerous. LPGs are shipped either singly or in mixes.
Hence, when transporting LPGs, considerable caution and safety are essential, including limiting leakage or exposure to ignition sources. LPG is transported in tankers or LPG carriers. A gas carrier designed for the bulk transportation of petroleum gases is known as an LPG tanker. These tankers can frequently transport other gases as well, including ammonia, propylene, and vinyl chloride.
Course Objectives
The main objective of this Safety Maintenance of LPG Tanker and Jetty Operations course is to empower marine professionals with—
- complete knowledge and understanding of safe LPG tanker and jetty operations
- awareness of the hazardous nature of LPGs and the importance of safety and precautionary measures while handling and transporting these gases
- the required confidence to drive implementation of safety policies and measures across the organisation to ensure safety assurance to life and property and reduce risks of accidents and losses to business
- awareness and exposure to international standards of practices and operations to manage LPG transportation while effectively handling safety and minimising risks of accidents
- the adequate skill and knowledge to progress laterally or vertically to roles involving risk assessment and safety management of LPG tanker and jetty operations
- confidence, experience and knowledge to independently help one’s organisation maintain its safety management practices and guidelines through regular internal reviews and audits of the systems, practices and usual operational procedures
- the required knowledge, confidence and awareness to effectively handle accidents and minimise impact to life, property and the marine environment
- the necessary foresight to treat hazards before they magnify and have drastic negative impact
