Marine and Offshore Training Courses > LNG Marine Terminal Loading Master & Certification – Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)

About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)

To work as a Loading Master, an individual is required to have the operational knowledge and technical skill as well as be able to understand the LNG ship/shore Interface.

Knowledge, insight, awareness, skill, control, efficiency, and time management to name a few, with regards to Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) will form the necessary foundations for LNG terminals and marine operations. This has led to an increasing demand for certified and trained Loading Masters for storage terminals. The challenging tasks include mastering the art of loading and unloading activities as well as carrying the responsibilities that come with it.

This Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course is designed to train and certify those who are working in LNG Marine Terminals, FNLG (Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Barges or Vessels) and in management of LNG facilities.

This highly interactive and practical VILT course will allow LNG facilities to achieve a competitive advantage by having an effective and well-managed operation. This will ensure your operational processes and workforce perform up to the highest standards and expectations.

At the end of this VILT course, participants will be able to:

  • Master operational best practices and apply a structured approach to marine terminal management of the ship shore interface
  • Identify improved procedures for the handling, loading and discharging of LNG cargoes
  • Learn updated international guidelines and regulations concerning tankers and terminals including physical properties of LNG
  • Increase their operational efficiency for LNG storage and transport
  • Become aware of Quality & Quantity risk & loss and learn prevention techniques
  • Improve compliance, safety and environmental performance

This VILT course is designed for anyone with immediate responsibility for loading, discharging and care in custody transfer or handling LNG cargoes.
