The Petroleum Cargo Calculations course is meticulously designed for maritime shipping and oil & gas professionals. This course offers a comprehensive exploration into the specialised field of petroleum cargo calculations and tank surveying, which are integral to the efficient and safe transportation of oil and gas. Emphasising real-world applications, the course delves into the complexities of calculating and managing liquid and liquefied gas cargoes, a critical skill for those working in marine terminals, aboard tankers, and within the global logistics chain.
Participants will engage with various topics, from fundamental principles to advanced techniques, covering different types of petroleum products and their handling. The course is structured to build a deep understanding of the challenges and responsibilities associated with the transportation and storage of oil & gas cargoes. By addressing various scenarios encountered in onboard tankers and shore terminals, the course ensures that participants are well-equipped to handle cargo calculation's dynamic and often complex nature in the global shipping industry.
Upon completion, participants will be equipped to:
- Accurately calculate the tonnage of petroleum cargoes, a critical component in oil & gas marine terminal operations. This includes mastering the application of industry-standard petroleum tables and utilising advanced mathematical techniques to ensure the precision of cargo figures.
- Implement effective strategies for planning and managing storage and transfer systems for a range of petroleum products, from crude oil to refined fuels and liquefied natural gas (LNG). This objective focuses on optimising logistics and ensuring the efficient movement of products within and between terminals.
- Develop expertise in calculating the Vessel Experience Factor (VEF), a crucial metric in maritime logistics, to achieve more accurate cargo calculations for each tanker. Understanding VEF allows for better planning and decision-making, improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness in naval operations.
- Manage complex cargo figures and undertake rigorous calculations to determine hull stress curves for each voyage. This aspect is vital for ensuring vessels' structural integrity and seaworthiness, enhancing safety and compliance with maritime regulations.
