Diagnose whether a problem in LNG carrier and loading operations is one of design, resourcing or discipline.
Managing Liquefied Gas Carriers and Safe Loading Operations
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to LNG carrier and loading operations.
Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how LNG carrier and loading operations is controlled. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in loading operations; it has added to it. Participants leave with a method for the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations, not a set of opinions about it. The professional literature on LNG carrier and loading operations converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Plans for this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations often fail at the handover point between functions. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of loading operations and supervised application. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to LNG carrier and loading operations in an order their organisation can absorb. The programme suits teams tackling loading operations together as readily as individuals attending alone. The final session converts the week's work on the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability into commitments with owners and dates.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Evaluate the environmental obligations arising from loading operations.
Specify the instrumentation and data needed to monitor LNG carrier and loading operations reliably.
Define the scope and boundaries of loading operations so that responsibility for it is unambiguous.
Build the internal capability for LNG carrier and loading operations rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
