TRAINING METHODOLOGY
EuroMaTech’s Advanced LNG Operations, Measurements, Custody Transfers and Cargo training course is presented using challenging tutor marked assignments, and in-depth case studies. The trainer uses factual case studies and exercises along the way to cement participants’ newly acquired skills and helps them apply them to real situations. Equally as important, a look at the mind-set of LNG project managers, and LNG marine engineers is given through the discussions, thus giving participants an additional boost in anticipating potential problems and correcting them beforehand.
TRAINING SUMMARY
EuroMaTech’s Advanced LNG Operations, Measurements, Custody Transfers and Cargo training course is specifically designed to assist those involved in LNG operations whether on or offshore. The training ensures your LNG operational processes and workforce perform up to the LNG current standards, whilst also gaining a competitive advantage. Participants will learn about entire Liquid/Gas and LNG process chain; see the latest advances in cargo transfer operations from both a Liquid and Gas ship management and LNG terminal / Facility perspective. They will be able to make accurate measurements and calculations of LNG Gas custody transfers, and product quality accuracy; examine the design codes and guidelines on Liquid and Gas ship and shore transfer management; and examine real LNG Case Studies from around the Globe concerning Liquid and Gas incidents.
