LNG: Vessel Design, Technology & Operations

Cambridge Academy of Transport is now able to offer two distinct 4-day LNG courses on an online basis: the first course, described below, covers Design, Technology & Markets whilst the second explores its Commercial Aspects.

The two courses can be taken separately; but taken together they offer an immersive learning experience of this fast growing and technologically challenging industry.

Aim of this course: To gain a full understanding of marine transport in the LNG value chain; from Design & Engineering of LNG cryogenic cargo containment and propulsion systems to Cargo Handling, Vessel and Terminal Operations. Sessions on the need to decarbonise and the wider legislative environment will also lead to a better understanding of new opportunities in the small scale and LNG bunkering sectors.

Who Should Attend?

The course appeals across the entire LNG value chain: resource and asset holders, importers, traders, ship owners, charterers, terminal operators, financial institutions, auditors, equipment manufacturers and service providers. Past participants have commented positively on their learning experience delivered in a dynamic and professional manner in a welcoming environment that encourages knowledge exchange. Lecturers challenge participants' understanding, probe deeply into issues of the day and pose solutions to problems faced by many in their own business environment.

Past attendees include senior executives from across the globe, spanning a broad range of responsibilities: general management, trading, ship owning and chartering, voyage and deal operations, finance and project planning.

Benefits of the Course

The course's Technology, Operations and Legislation Sessions provide an informed insight into the choices and limitations of containment systems; and how advances in propulsion technology, coupled with environmental legislation, is narrowing the parameters of asset operability and commercial viability.
