LNG course provides both trainees and officers
Videotel now offers more extensive portfolio of training for the LNG sector in the marketplace. Working with experts across the globe – BP Shipping, Shell, Maersk and SIGTTO, amongst many others – it has created a comprehensive package of training covering the essentials required when operating in this important market.
Nigel Cleave, CEO of Videotel Marine International, says: “Twice as many LNG carriers are operating today compared with five years ago, leading to a growing demand for quality training in the sector. With an evolving market and constantly developing new technologies even those familiar with the sector face new challenges.
“Most projections are that cargo volumes will almost double by 2020 from today’s level of around 250m tonnes,” explains Mr Cleave. “This new landscape will call for a whole new skills set, and with its extensive experience of working with industry and regulatory bodies, Videotel is the best placed to service those needs.“
Starting with the Videotel Tanker Familiarisation Distance Learning Course, the candidate is then invited to select from a number of courses to further develop their knowledge and skills.
The Liquefied Gas Tanker Safety Training Course provides both trainees and officers experienced in other sectors with tanker-specific technical knowledge to serve on an LNG carrier, and to be assigned specific duties relating to cargo or cargo equipment.
Courses are delivered in a variety of methods – DVD, Videotel on Demand (VOD), VOD online and eLearning Computer Based Training (CBT) – to suit the demands of the subject and the nature of the competencies that need to be attained.
