The course is essentially a practical one and consists of a series of exercises structured around the operation of the cargo and ballast installation of a liquefied gas tanker.
The exercises are allowing the trainees to become familiar with the layout of the cargo tanks, hold (void) spaces and ballast tanks forming the system and the instrumentation and controls that are used.
This program describes established good practice for the safe and efficient operation with gas carriers.
Gas carriers range in capacity from the small pressurised ships of between 500 and 6,000 m3 for the shipment of propane, butane and the chemical gases at ambient temperature up to the fully insulated or refrigerated ships of over 100,000 m3 capacity for the transport of LNG and LPG. Between these two distinct types is a third ship type — the semi-pressurised gas carrier. These very flexible ships are able to carry many cargoes in a fully refrigerated condition at atmospheric pressure or at temperatures corresponding to carriage pressures of between five and nine bar.
To assist in understanding the various terms used in the gas trade, the section 2 discusses the manufacture of liquefied gases and describes the main gas carrier cargoes transported by sea. It is first of all necessary to differentiate between some of the raw materials and their constituents and in this regard the relationships between natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPGs).
The chapterers covers gas carrier cargo handling equipment and related instrumentation. It reviews pipeline and valve design issues and considers cargo pumps and ancillary equipment. The plant associated with cargo reliquefaction is also described along with some of the special operational and maintenance issues. The design of inert gas generation equipment is also covered.
