Oil and Chemical Tankers – Technical and Operational Aspects

Training course on technical and operational aspects of tankers and maritime regulations that apply to oil and chemical tankers.

Objectives

To gain expertise in technical and operational aspects of tankers in fleet service as well as the system of maritime regulations that especially apply to oil and chemical tankers in the fields of ship security and protection of the marine environment.


Entrance regulations
