About this ebook

Introduction to Oil Tanker and Gas Carrier Operations introduces the mandatory minimum requirements for training and qualifications for masters, officers and ratings serving on-board liquefied gas tankers. It covers basic safety and pollution-prevention precautions and procedures, layouts of several types of liquefied gas tankers, types of cargo, their hazards and their handling equipment, as well as general operational sequence and liquefied gas tanker terminology.

The book is intended for officers and key ratings who have not previously served on board crude oil or liquefied gas tankers as part of the regular ship’s company. It covers the Level 1 training requirements prescribed by Regulation V/1, paragraph 1.2 of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, STCW-95.
