LNG related training infrastructure

• The best way, to acquire knowledge and some skills, is to do it by yourself and to repeat the actions so many times until the procedure will be familiar

• Therefore some parts of the courses will be conducted with using simulators

• Currently on boardof the Competence Centre are:• LNG cargo handling simulator (both sides LNG carrier and terminal) where

following scenarios can be provided: pipes connections and disconnections including emergency shut-down, controlling cargo operations, emergency response in case of cargo spill or fire etc.

• engine of vessels powered by LNG with preparing a fuel for engine, managing the fuel and storage systems etc.

• LNG vessels

Distance learning

• BSR LNG Competence Centre will prepare training materials which can be used for a distance leaning

• These materials will consist of • Recorded curses covering at least Maritime basic training

• Clips video, also in VR technology, presenting bunkering procedures, emergence response procedures etc.

• Every member institution will be able to use these materials on its own e-learning platform

• Depending on capability of such platforms a trainee assessment application can be implemented (computer based assessment)

Certification

• Every member institution of BSR LNG Competence Centre can issue its own certificate which prove the participation in the appropriate LNG training

• the maritime trainings are designed with consideration of “The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers” (STCW) requirements, and can be a base for a certificate issued by national maritime administration
