Short Overview
Suggested Minimum Content for LNG Carriers Training Courses - Management Level provides guidance for organizations involved in training officers for LNG cargo operations. It is written at a management level and is suitable for training providers, ship owners and operators who are responsible for developing competence management systems and determining appropriate levels of training for officers involved in LNG cargo operations.
Detailed Overview
Suggested Minimum Content for LNG Carriers Training Courses - Management Level supports the development of management-level training courses for LNG cargo operations, based on LNG Shipping Suggested Competency Standards. It provides guidance for training providers, ship owners and operators on designing and delivering training for cargo equipment management and deck management-level officers, as well as those preparing for promotion to these ranks. While attendance at such courses ensures participants receive essential knowledge and understanding, full competence requires additional training and onboard experience beyond the scope of this document. The document excludes floating, storage and regasification units and emphasizes the importance of regularly reviewing and updating training standards to maintain their safety function.
Introduction
Inadequate training and low levels of competence have been shown to contribute to accidents, so properly trained and competent personnel are a critical part of the risk-reduction measures taken for LNG cargo operations. Competence management systems are necessary to manage the complexity of these measures.
Based on LNG Shipping Suggested Competency Standards, this document provides guidance for training providers to design a management-level course, although it should be noted not all of the competency standards are included.
While attending a course should ensure that a participant receives knowledge and understanding, completion of the course does not necessarily mean that they will have a full understanding of the subjects and competencies outlined.
Training standards need to be continually assessed and updated on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to provide their essential safety function.
