COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of loss control marine expeditors. It covers the expeditors role and the importance of communication; the PPE, ISGOTT and EI model; the TCV/GSV/VEF/ROB/Innage/MMC; the equipment accuracy, calibration and gauging accuracy; the impact of differing measurement tables used; and the custody transfer, oil loss control at load ports, crude and products/blending. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the loading of crude and products in the vessel; the deadweight calculations, forecasting, OBQ measurements/wedge formulae and VEF assessment; deballasting, vessel stresses/saging, completion of loading and final cargo measurement; the terminal loading systems, meter issues, shore tank measurement and line fullness checks; the quality assessment sampling and analysis techniques; and blending on board, demurrage, official documentation and expeditors tasks at a loading. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the crude oil and products discharging, COW and stripping operations; the terminal discharge plan and its impact on oil loss control; the vessel at discharge, pumping, stripping and crude oil washing; the stripping operation, line stripping and ROB measurement; the analysis and reporting outturn calculation and email communication at a discharge; the vapour emission control and vapour loss; and the ship to ship (STS) operations, voyage analysis, reconciliation and loss investigation.
