Managing the Bunkering and Use of LNG Fuel on Ships

Course Overview

For all vessel operators the issue of environmental pollution is becoming increasingly problematic. The requirements to comply with MARPOL Annex 6 have made air pollution one of the areas which ship owners and operators will have to address. Using LNG as a fuel is one way to reduce airborne pollution from ships.  It also has different problems to address when operating a vessel with LNG on-board as a fuel. This Managing the Bunkering and Use of LNG Fuel on Ships training course is intended to highlight these issues and provide a means to manage them. The IGF code details the requirements of ships using LNG as a bunker fuel, and this PetroKnowledge training course will provide an insight to the means to comply with that code.

This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:

  • Design and operational characteristics of ships subject to the IGF Code
  • Precautions to minimise and manage hazards on a ship subject to the IGF Code
