Oil and Gas Marine Terminals

Understanding International regulations and World Petroleum Fiscal Systems

Course Overview

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
