The Advanced Oil Tanker Cargo Operations Course is designed for seafarers and professionals working onboard oil tankers who are directly involved in handling, loading, discharging, monitoring, and managing oil cargo operations. Conducted as a value-added training program under IMO guidelines (STCW Chapter V, Regulation V/1-1 and Section A-V/1-1-3), this course enhances the knowledge and competence of participants to ensure safe and efficient tanker operations.
The training covers advanced concepts such as tanker design and construction, cargo planning and stability, cargo handling systems, cargo measurement and calculation, safety protocols, pollution prevention measures, inert gas systems, tank cleaning, crude oil washing, emergency procedures, and compliance with MARPOL and other international conventions. Emphasis is also placed on risk assessment, hazard identification, human factors, and the use of modern safety management systems during oil cargo operations.
This course is ideal for deck officers, engineers, and shipboard personnel who already hold basic tanker training certification and are seeking advanced competence as required by the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW). Successful participants will be equipped with industry-relevant skills to manage oil tanker cargo operations with a focus on safety, environmental protection, and operational excellence.
By completing this IMO-recognized advanced training, seafarers not only meet international regulatory requirements but also gain a career advantage in the global maritime and offshore industry.
