This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview on chemical tankers. It covers the cargos in chemical tanker, physical properties of

cargo and hydrocarbon groups; the health hazards, hazards to the environment, reactivity hazards, flammability and explosivity hazards; the international and national codes and regulations; the bulk chemical codes and Annex II of Marpol 73/78; and the ship design, construction and equipment requirements, the cargo containment, ship types and survival capability.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to carryout cargo handling system, tank piping and valves, tank materials and coatings and cargo tanks ventilation systems; recognize pumps and unloading systems, cargo heating systems, inert gas systems and instrumentation; illustrate fire prevention and equipment, pollution prevention and protection and safety equipment; employ cargo handling, ballast operations, cargo planning and procedures and preparations for loading; measure and calculate cargo and apply tank cleaning operations; and implement ship-shore interface and emergency operations.
