Validation The information contained in this document has been validated by the Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping for use by technical advisers, consultants and expe
7、rts for the training and certification of seafarers so that the minimum standards implemented may be as uniform as possible. Validation in the context of this document means that no grounds have been found to object to its content. The Sub-committee has not granted its approval to the document, as i
8、t considers that this work must not be regarded as an official interpretation of the Convention. In reaching a decision in this regard, the Sub-committee was guided by the advice of a Validation Group comprised of representatives designated by IL0 and IMO. 5 SPECIALIZED TRAINING FOR LIQUEFIED GAS TA
9、NKERS Part A: Course Framework Aims This course provides training for masters, chief engineers, officers and any person with immediate responsibility for the loading, discharging and care in transit or handling of cargo. It comprises a specialized training programme appropriate to their duties, incl
10、uding gas tanker safety, fire safety measures and systems, pollution prevention, operational practice and obligations under applicable laws and regulations. The course takes full account of Section A-V/1 of the STCW Code adopted by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification
11、 and Watchkeeping for Seafarers 1978, as amended in 1995. Any of this training may be given on board or ashore. It should be supplemented by practical instruction on board and, where appropriate, in a suitable shore-based installation. Objective Provided they hold an appropriate certificate and are
12、otherwise qualified in accordance with regulation V/1-2.2 of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers 1978, as amended 1995, those successfully completing the course should be able to take immediate responsibility for loading, discharging an
13、d care in transit or handling of cargo on liquefied gas tankers. Entry standards This course is open to seafarers who have completed a shore-based fire-fighting training course approved by the Administration, and who have relevant experience appropriate to their duties on liquefied gas tankers, as s
14、tipulated in STCW regulation V/1, para 2.1, and sub- paragraphs 1 .I or 1.2. See chart on page 10. Course certificate The specialized liquefied gas tanker training programme must be approved by the Administration. Masters and officers who are qualified in accordance with regulation V/1 paragraphs 1
15、or 2 as appropriate, that is they have experience appropriate to their duties on tankers, and complete this training programme, shall be issued with an appropriate certificate. An existing certificate may be suitably endorsed by the issuing Administration. Course intake limitations The number of tra
16、inees should not exceed 20, and practical training should be undertaken in small groups of not more than four. Staff requirements The instructor shall have appropriate training in instructional techniques and training methods (STCW Code A-1/6, para 7). It is recommended that all training and instruc
17、tion is given by qualified personnel experienced in the handling and characteristics of gas cargoes and the safety procedures involved. Staff may be recruited among deck and engineer officers of gas tankers, fleet superintendents and personnel in freight departments, cargo survey bureaux or laborato
18、ries, as appropriate. i Refer to Section A-V1/3 STCW Code 6 PART A: COURSE FRAMEWORK STCW 95 training scheme for personnel on liquefied gas tankers General qualification (STCW Chapter II or Chapter fire-fighting course (Regulation Vil, para 1) I Approved Tanker Familiarization course -1 (Regulation

21、g facilities and equipment Ordinary classroom facilities and an overhead projector are sufficient for most of the course. However, dedicated CBT modules to be run on an ordinary PC as well as exercises on an operational, hands-on liquid cargo handling simulator, will greatly enhance the quality and
22、result of the course. In such cases sufficient PCs for use by one or two trainees will be required. In addition, a video cassette player will be required if using videos in the teaching program. The following equipment should be available: Resuscitator Breathing apparatus Portable oxygen meter Porta
23、ble combustible-gas detector Portable interferometer Portable toxic-gas detector Chemical absorption tubes for toxic-gas detector (for benzene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide) Tank evacuation equipment. Use of Simulators The revised STCW Convention sets standards regarding the performance and us
24、e of simulators for mandatory training, assessment or demonstration of competence. The general performance standards for simulators used in training and for simulators used in assessment of competence are given in Section A-l/l 2. Section B-1/12 provides guidance on the use of simulators in these ac
25、tivities. Simulator-based training and assessment is not a mandatory requirement for this liquefied gas tanker training program. However, it is widely recognized that well-designed lessons and exercises can improve the effectiveness of training and shorten training times compared to traditional meth
26、ods. If using simulator-based training, instructors should ensure that the aims and objectives of these sessions are defined within the overall training program and that tasks are selected so as to relate as closely as possible to shipboard tasks and practices. Instructors should refer to reference

35、and regulations as necessary. 14 PART C: DETAILED TEACHING SYLLABUS Aims The aim of this model course is to ensure that on completion of training the candidate will meet the minimum standard of competence to undertake duties on liquefied gas tankers in accordance with Regulation V/1 paragraph 2.2 of
36、 STCW 1995. At the time of revising the STCW Convention the cornpetences required by masters and officers in connection with cargowork on tankers were not drafted in the form of Tables as were those for watchkeepers, for example, see Table A-IV1 . The experience and training requirements for tanker
37、masters and officers were amended in 1994 and came into effect on 1 January 1996. With limited time and resources available for drafting revisions to the Convention, it was decided to leave this section essentially unchanged. The theoretical and practical knowledge required for gas tanker operations
38、 is specified in Section A-V/I paragraphs 23-34. The following section illustrates how this training and practical knowledge, and the elements in this model course, fit with the format of STCW standards of competence, grouped under defined functions for a given level of responsibility. In this respe
39、ct the training is based on the following functions, at the management level: 1. Cargo handling and stowage (STCW Code Table AW2) 2. Controlling the operation of the ship and care for persons on board (Table A-11/2, A-111/2). Competence The competences required by candidates may be expressed in term
40、s of the Convention as follows. Note the text in italics is added in the context of liquefied gas tanker operations. 1 .I Plan and ensure safe loading, care during the voyage and unloading of liquefied gas 1.2 Safely and efficiently perform the carriage of dangerous cargoes cargoes 2.1 Control trim,
41、 stability and stress 2.2 Monitor and control compliance with legislative requirements and measures to ensure safety of life at sea and the protection of the marine environment Training outcome (as stated in Tables A-11/2, A-IlV2) The standard of knowledge, understanding and proficiency associated w
42、ith the above cornpetences is therefore considered to be as tabulated below. Note again that the text in italics is added in the context of liquefied gas tanker operations. 1 .I .I Demonstrate a knowledge of and ability to apply relevant international regulations, codes and standards concerning the
