LNG Shipping Knowledge 3rd Ed

This publication details the underpinning knowledge required for ship's officers serving on LNG carriers, as set out in SIGTTO's 'LNG Shipping Competency Standards'. It has been updated to reflect the substantial technical and operational advances on LNG carriers since publication of the 2nd edition. With the rapid growth of LNG shipping, the introduction of a system of internationally recognised and structured training programmes was necessary. In 2005, the Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO) released the first version of its 'LNG Shipping Competency Standards' to provide guidance and suggested best practice for the industry. A second edition was published in 2008. This third edition was published in 2020 to incorporate developments within the LNG industry, including the latest updates to The International Code for Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code). At almost 500 pages, this publication covers all areas of LNG carriage and care by sea.
