LGTF ( Liquefied Gas Tanker Cargo Operations)

Course Description

The Liquefied Gas Familiarization Training (LGFT) course provides essential knowledge for seafarers working on LPG and LNG carriers. It equips participants with a clear understanding of liquefied gas properties, cargo characteristics, containment systems, and the unique operational challenges associated with gas tanker environments. Through a structured learning approach, trainees gain the competence required to support safe cargo handling and operational readiness.

The course blends classroom instruction with practical demonstrations, helping participants understand gas hazards, gas detection principles, safety systems, and emergency procedures onboard liquefied gas tankers. By the end of this training, seafarers are prepared to confidently follow safety protocols, assist in routine cargo operations, and respond effectively to emergency situations involving hazardous gas cargoes.
