Tanker Safety Training - Liquefied Gas

Product Description

This title offers comprehensive detail on the bulk transport at sea of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and chemical gases, as well as aspects of various cargo handling systems. It includes a chapter on cargo calculations, ensuring ships’ crew are aware of correct loading quantities prior to cargo operations.

This book provides an assessment of gases, including their hazards and properties, before considering all stages of LPG and LNG operations. A detailed overview of STS operations is also included.

Processes such as reliquefaction and gassing-up are illustrated by 3D models, a beneficial visual aid to those in preparation and operation of modern gas carrying ships, or in operation of a related shore facility. The guidance concludes with a consideration of general emergency procedures, including the principal hazards on gas carriers.
