With the rapid expansion of the LNG fleet now in progress, this second edition provides up-to-date guidance on the minimum standards to which Officers should be trained and reference to the knowledge that underpins it. Written by SIGTTO, (Society of International Gas Tankers and Terminal Operators) this book is an essential companion to anyone serving on an LNG Vessel or any operator who has LNG vessels within their fleet.
In 2007, SIGTTO set up a series of working groups to bring together the LPG Shipping experience that was held within its membership onboard fully pressurised, Semi-pressurised/semi-refrigerated and fully refrigerated LPG Carriers and Ethylene Carriers. These standards have been collated into this book and were formally adopted by the SIGTTO board in May 2008.
This new book, which was jointly developed by SIGTTO and OCIMF, provides guidance on the effective maintenance of critical items of equipment on both oil and liquefied gas terminal jetties.
Written for ship and shore operations staff responsible for the cargo handling operations of liquefied gases, including LNG, LPG and the chemical gases.
Ship to Ship (STS) transfer of liquefied gases at sea. This guide will be of use in the event of emergency lightening operations, providing checklists for each stage of the operation.
