It is indispensable for personnel training for operational qualifications as well as those already engaged in liquefied gas operations.
This publication details the underpinning knowledge required for ship’s officers serving on LNG carriers, as set out in SIGTTO’s ‘LNG Shipping Competency Standards’.
