The Marine Loading Arm Operations, Terminal Handling and Management Training Course offered by the Imperial Corporate Training Institute is a comprehensive and professional training program designed to prepare professionals for the complete understanding and practical application of marine terminals and their related marine loading arm operations. The course specifically looks at the safe, efficient and compliant operation of marine loading arms at both onshore and offshore oil and gas terminals. A key element of the course will be for Course Participants to develop a thorough understanding of how modern terminal systems provide for the safe and reliable transfer of oil and gas cargo to and from storage facilities, pipelines, and vessels whilst simultaneously achieving and upholding International Safety and Environmental Regulations.
This course is delivered using a structured approach that combines both theory and operational best practices with a focus on providing Course Participants with managerial level insights into the technical, operational and supervisory aspects of Terminal Handling. In addition, this course will provide Course Participants with the knowledge to successfully manage the real challenges that terminal operators experience during normal cargo transfer operations including, but not limited to: Equipment Selection, Operational Coordination, Maintenance Planning and Emergency Response Programs. Upon successful completion of this course, Course Participants will possess the competencies necessary to effectively manage the full cycle of Marine Terminal Operations in a manner that optimises terminal efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance.
