In the global oil and gas industry, the transportation of crude oil and refined products is mainly carried out using large sea carriers. As such, the effective management and safe operation of marine terminals are crucial for the efficient transfer and storage of petroleum products at designated facilities. Professionals responsible for overseeing the operation and management of oil and gas marine terminals must be well-versed in the latest Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) practices, including mechanical integrity of equipment, safety protocols, and compliance with international regulations and standards such as ISGOTT, EMA, and MARPOL Convention for environmental pollution protection.
This Energy training course is designed for individuals working at marine terminals, providing them with up-to-date knowledge, tools, and skills necessary to address technical and safety challenges in terminal operations. Topics such as cargo transfer support, custody transfer, emergency response, and vessel berthing will be explored in line with international standards. Participants will engage in workshops that present real-world issues faced by terminals, encouraging discussions and experience sharing on both the managerial and technical aspects essential to the successful operation of complex marine terminal facilities.
Key aspects of this Oil and Gas Marine Terminals training course include:
- Hydrocarbon properties and safe handling
- Regulatory compliance and requirements
- Terminal operations and safety management
- Vessel operations and terminal interaction
- Emergency response and terminal organization
- Security and safety practices in accordance with international standards
Upon completing this Oil and Gas Marine Terminals training course, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the key operational elements of oil and gas marine terminals
- Comply with international regulations and industry standards
- Plan and design storage and transfer systems for various petroleum products
- Understand the procedures for interacting with oil tankers and gas carriers
- Effectively manage and organize emergency response plans, particularly for oil spill incidents
- Implement current risk assessment techniques in marine terminal operations
The Energy training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples included in several workshops. Presented also will be several illustrative and instructive videos. The emphasis in the course will be on the explanation of all technical points and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday situations related to operation and management of terminal facilities.
Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples. There will be ample opportunities for active discussion and sharing professional experiences and exchange that will help solidify the gained knowledge. All course materials will be provided.
