In the Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator course, handling liquid cargo like oil, gas and chemicals requires caution and knowledge. The slightest mistake can be hazardous for the crew, ship and environment. To encounter the risk factors in liquid cargo handling, the Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator course provides virtual simulators with state-of-the-art training for cargo system operators. The Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator course allows training for standard operations as well as for advanced operations according to the STCW regulation.

The sophisticated simulator model can be adapted to different vessel types and customer requirements. Efficient and reliable training depends on a simulation that is producing identical results as onboard real ships.

Aims and Objectives

• The aim of the LCHS course at the Operational level is to develop an understanding of the chemical and physical properties of Crude oil and its Products leading to an appreciation of the hazards involved in cargo handling.
• To consider the design and development of Oil Tankers with particular emphasis on cargo handling, ballast, venting, and inert gas system.

Upon completion of the course, the trainees will:-

• Be familiar with different cargo operational equipment, instrumentation and controls.
• Have a greater awareness of the need for proper pre-planning, the use of checklists and the time scales involved in the various cargo handling operations.
• Have an enhanced awareness to apply proper and safe procedures at all times when carrying out the various operations on board an oil tanker.
• Gain experience in identifying operational problems and solving them.
• Show improvement in the ability to make decisions which promote safety and protect the environment.
• In short, the Trainee should be able to understand and take direct charge of all operations on an oil tanker in a Dry dock to Dry dock cycle.

The Liquid Cargo Handling course curriculum consists of all operations normally associated with an oil tanker in a dry dock to dry dock cycle.

The course is a practical one and consists of a series of exercises structured around the operation of the cargo and ballast installation of an oil tanker and carried out on the Liquid Cargo Handling simulator.

The purpose of the Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator Course is to provide a very realistic real-time simulation of the thermodynamic and fluid properties of the liquids and gases involved, together with the process control systems used in the storage and handling of potentially hazardous bulk liquids.
