Gasco - Course Structure and Lesson Objectives

The 5-day training course covers the key aspects of gas tanker cargo operations through a combination of presentations, exercises and simulations. Day 1 introduces international regulations, properties of liquefied gases, and safe operational practices. Day 2 focuses on health and safety topics like toxicity, safety equipment, and gas detection. Day 3 examines gas carrier design and cargo equipment. Day 4 reviews cargo operational cycles and calculations. Finally, day 5 addresses emergency procedures, firefighting, and certification. The goal is to provide candidates comprehensive knowledge for working safely and legally transporting liquefied gas cargoes.
