Purpose

A Safety Officer’s mission is to reduce the possibility of workplace accidents and illnesses. Safety officers support entrepreneurs and managers regarding occupational health and safety following DGUV Regulation 1 § 20. Their task is, in particular, to recognize accident and health hazards and to.

The MCA approved STCW Basic Training for Service on Ships using Fuels provides training for seafarers responsible for designated safety duties associated with the care, use, or in emergency response to the fuels on board ships subject to the IGF code (International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels).

In our latest article, we look at the many reasons why this course is so important

The aim of the course is to provide training to meet the minimum mandatory requirements for training and certification for masters, officers, ratings and other personnel for service on ships using fuels covered within the IGF Code, as per Regulation A-V/3 and Section A-V/3-1 of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended, hereafter referred to as STCW.

At IMO, MARPOL Annex VI has undergone amendments from time to time to incorporate the revised requirements on the reduction of pollutants in emissions from ships. In the quest to reduce SOX, NOX, and CO2 emissions from ships, enhanced research is leading to use of alternative fuels for the propulsion system.

The International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low flashpoint. Fuels (IGF Code) aims to minimize the risk to ships, their crews and the environment, given the nature of the fuels involved. Ships engines designed to use gas or low-Flashpoint liquids as fuel will be governed under the IGF Code requirements. These cleaner fuels will help meet the IMO’s 2020 Sulphur emission cap and the 2025 Design Efficiency requirements.

Officers and ratings joining ships fueled by Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels eg LNG, CNG, LPG, Methyl/Ethyl Alcohol, etc. shall need to undergo Basic / Advanced safety training on the handling of such volatile fuels during bunkering, storage and transfer.

This course will enable the participants to apply for Basic COP to sail on SHIPS USING FUEL COVERED WITHIN THE IGF CODE.
