ABI6010 – ABIOSH International Technical Certificate in Jetty and Terminal Operational Safety ©
Safety in all types of operations is the key factor in ensuring that a company always maintains its position both efficiently and ethically. It is critical to the well-being and reputation of the tanker and terminal industry. In today’s global oil and gas markets, terminal, offshore, tank and transport operators are faced with increasing risk constraints and challenges stemming from complex cargo and terminal operations coupled with higher safety, security and environmental regulations. This award outlines operating procedures, particularly those prompted by the introduction of the International Safety Management (ISM) code and the syllabus is based on International Safety Guide for Oil tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT) guidelines. It is a standard course on the safe operation of oil tankers and the terminals they serve. This course covers risk and safety in oil and gas terminals, operational principles covering ship or barge receipt and delivery operations in jetties and terminals, outlining the safety, operational and key process steps relevant to these activities. It equips tanker and terminal personnel on the safe carriage and handling of crude oil and petroleum on tankers and at terminals. It also covers material of practical value to delegates from management levels to onsite operational standards and is aimed at a wider audience of stakeholders: oil and gas operators, terminal and tank operators, offshore and ship operators, bunker providers and agents, port and terminal authorities, safety, security and environmental agencies, intermodal transport and logistic operators, shipping agents and freight forwarders, risk and safety consultants, rick and insurance professionals and the academic world etc. it focuses on the working relationship between ship and terminal standards and highlights the characteristics of tanker cargoes and the concerns of tanker staff especially whilst alongside. The course has been designed for students who work in a supervisory or managerial role including but not limited to:
- HSE OFFICERS, SUPERVISORS, MANAGERS AND ENGINEERS
- OIL AND GAS SAFETY MANAGERS
- PORT AND TERMINAL MANAGERS
- SHIP AND OFFSHORE MANAGERS
- SHIP BUNKERING AND STATION MANAGERS
- TERMINAL AND SHIPPING MANAGERS
- TRANSPORT SAFETY AND RISK CONSULTANTS
Learning outcome: students would gain an in-depth knowledge on safety operations and management of oil and gas marine terminals, recognise the international regulations and requirements for the oil and gas marine terminals. They must be able to apply proper planning techniques in storage and transfer systems and command of the various planning and transfer requirements for oil and gas marine terminal, discuss the different vessel operations such as oil tankers (crude and product) and gas carriers (LNG/LPG). By the end of the course students should be able to understand and be familiar with some of the following: OHS procedures and terminal safety; ILO convention and IMO guidelines; marine safety and risk assessment; port/harbour and jetty appraisal; safe carriage and handling of crude oil and petroleum products oil and gas markets and terminals and quality assurance and control.
