| Course Description: |
|
This course aims to cover important safety and operational aspects related to the
use of gases or low-flashpoint liquids as fuel in ships. The course aims to provide
guidance for establishing a competence foundation for different ship arrangements
and safety issues for ships using gases or other low flashpoint fuels. Specific
details related to ship-specific arrangements / systems cannot be captured
in this course which of a general nature as variation in design and operation for
ships applicable under the IGF code may vary a lot. This course aims to identify a
base set of competencies for personnel involved in the fuel-related activities on
board.
The training course is designed to meet the mandatory minimum standards of
competence for seafarers responsible for designated safety duties associated with the care,
use or in emergency response to the fuel on board ships subject to the International Code of
Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code) specified in table A-V/3-
1 of the STCW Code.
