The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development adopts the latest scientific and professional methodologies in training and human resource development, aiming to enhance the efficiency of individuals and organizations. Training programs are delivered through a comprehensive approach that includes:

• Theoretical lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations and visual materials (videos and short films).
• Scientific evaluation of participants before and after the program to measure progress and knowledge acquisition.
• Brainstorming sessions and practical role-playing to simulate real-life scenarios.
• Case studies tailored to align with the training content and participants work nature.
• Assessment tests conducted at the end of the program to evaluate the achievement of training objectives.

Each participant receives the training material (both theoretical and practical) in printed form and saved on a CD or flash drive. Detailed reports, including attendance records, final results, and overall program evaluations, are also provided.

Training materials are prepared professionally by a team of experts and specialists in various fields. At the end of the program, participants are awarded a professional attendance certificate, signed and accredited by the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development.

Program Timings:

• 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Arab cities.
• 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM in European and Asian cities.

The program includes:

• A daily buffet provided during the sessions to ensure participants comfort.

Course Introduction:

Oil and gas marine terminals are crucial for the safe and efficient transportation, storage, and handling of petroleum products. Managing these terminals requires specialized knowledge of international regulations, operational safety, environmental protection, and risk management strategies. This 10-day intensive training program provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the key operational, safety, and environmental aspects of marine terminals in the oil and gas industry.

Through a combination of theoretical instruction, real-world case studies, and hands-on exercises, attendees will develop the expertise needed to manage and operate marine terminals effectively while ensuring compliance with global safety and environmental standards.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental principles of oil and gas marine terminal operations.
• Apply best practices for the safe handling and storage of petroleum products.
• Implement risk management strategies to prevent operational hazards.
• Ensure compliance with international regulations such as IMO, MARPOL, and ISGOTT.
• Develop emergency response plans for oil spills and other marine terminal incidents.
• Optimize terminal logistics, berthing operations, and tanker handling procedures.

• Marine Terminal Operators and Supervisors
• Oil and Gas Industry Professionals
• HSE Officers and Environmental Specialists
• Port and Terminal Managers
• Shipping and Logistics Coordinators
• Regulatory and Compliance Officers

The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development is committed to hosting all training programs in dedicated and well-equipped hotel facilities specifically designed for conducting and delivering training sessions, unless explicitly stated otherwise on our website. Participants will be notified of the program venue within 7 to 21 days prior to the programs start date, based on the Academys assessment and the programs circumstances. The Academy emphasizes that it holds no responsibility for any force majeure events that may prevent the program from being held at the designated venue. Nevertheless, the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development will make every effort to provide suitable alternatives and extend the necessary support to participants in the event of a venue change due to unforeseen circumstances.
