This five day course is essential for those involved in the management and operation of on-shore and off-shore terminals

Topics discussed include:

• Hydrocarbon properties & handling
• Regulations & Requirements
• Terminal Planning
• Vessel Operations
• Terminal Management & Operations
• Security & Safety and other essential topics related to Export/Import Oil & Gas

• Gain in-depth knowledge on operations & management of oil & gas marine terminals
• Recognize the international regulations & requirements for the oil & gas marine terminals
• Apply proper planning techniques in storage & transfer systems and command of the various planning and transfer requirements for oil & gas marine terminal
• Discuss the different vessel operations in the oil & gas marine terminal such as oil tankers (crude & product) and gas carriers (LNG / LPG)
• Develop good terminal management skills and employ various terminal support operations such as berthing support, cargo transfer support, emergency response and vessel departure support
• Apply proven safe practices and procedures during the various operations in oil & gas terminals and manage oil spill contingency and emergency response plans
• Employ the latest qualitative and quantitative risk assessment techniques in oil & gas marine terminal operations

The seminar will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures, case studies and interactive worked examples. Relevant case studies will be provided to illustrate the application of each tool in an operations environment. Each learning point will be re-enforced with practical exercises. There will be ample opportunities for discussion and sharing experiences.

Professional management and operation of oil and gas marine terminals is vital to the budgetary success of the operations organisation. The organization will realise:
