This course will highlight and enhance the task compliance of all crew and particularly the Officers. Chemical Tanker cargo operations differ from any other liquid bulk transportation. Daily duties are usually very complex in that a large number of cargo with different properties and characteristics and inherent hazards may be carried simultaneously on a single voyage. Numerous products may be handled at one berth typically including both discharge and loading as well as tank cleaning. Even the less sophisticated chemical tankers are more complex to operate than oil tankers. Transportation of bulk chemicals not only require hard work but also special crew training both theoretical and practical. Therefore this course will help provide understanding of the characteristics of the various chemicals and awareness of the potential hazards involved in handling them.
