Shippins, GoI
1. The Maritime Courses, "Advanced Training for Oil Tanker Cargo Operations",
"Advanced Training for Chemical Tanker Cargo Operations" and "Advanced Training for
Liquefied Gas Tanker Cargo Operations" have undergone changes owing to the Seafarers
Training and Certification and Watch keeping (STCW), 2010 amendments. IMO has
developed guidelines through IMO Model Course 1.02 (2015 Edition), 1.03 (2015 Edition) &
1.05 (2015 Edition) for the courses Advanced Training for Oil Tanker Cargo Operations,
Advanced Training for Chemical Tanker Cargo Operations and Advanced Training for
Liquefied Gas Tanker Cargo Operations respectively.
2. In compliance with the "Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping"

(STCW), 2010 as amended, the Directorate has now revised the guidelines for these courses
and the same are enclosed as annexures to this Circular.The details of the courses are given

OIL TANKER CARGO OPERATIONS TR/CtRi6(2\t2019
lntroduction:
Maritime safety and efficiency is of utmost concern to the Directorate General of Shipping
(DGS), the constituted authority of the Government of lndia for all maritime affairs.
Following the adoption of the lnternational Convention on Standards of Training, Certification

and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended, IMO Member Governments
have supported IMO in developing model training courses which assist in the implementation
of the Convention and in achieving a more rapid transfer of information and skills regarding
new developments h maritime technology.
It is appreciated that a comprehensive set of short model courses in various fields of

maritime training supplements the instruction provided by maritime academies and allows
administrators and technical specialists already employed in maritime administrations, ports
and shipping companies to improve their knowledge and skills in certain specialized fields.
IMO has therefore supported the continuing development of the current series of model
courses in response to these generally identified needs.
Post the Manila amendments to STCW2O1O, IMO MODEL COURSE 1.02 - ADVANCED
TRAINING FOR OIL TANKER CARGO OPERATIONS has been revised with the 2015
Edition. Accordingly Course No. 5112 i.e. ADVANCED TRAINING FOR OIL TANKER
CARGO OPERATIONS has been revised to take into account the changes included in the
Model course.
These Guidelines shall come into force with immediate effect.
Yours faithfully,

GUIDELINES
ADVANCED TRAINING FOR OIL TANKER CARGO OPERATtONSCouTse
l. AtMs
The Aim of this course is to provide training to Masters, chief engineer officers, chief
mates, second engineer officers and any person with immediate responsibility for
loading, discharging, care in transit, handling of oil cargoes, tank cleaning or any other
cargo related operation on an oil tanker. The coursemeets the requirements of
Regulation V/1-1 of the STCW Convention and covers the competence requirements as
given in the table under section A- Vh-'l-2 ot the STCW Code of the lnternational
Convention on Standards of Trainingr, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, as
amended.
2. OBJECTIVES
This course comprises an advanced training programme for Oil Tanker Cargo
operations appropriate to the seafarer's duties, including oil tanker safety, fire safety
measures, pollution prevention, operational practice and obligations under applicable
law and regulations.
Trainees successfully completing this course will be able to:

.ldentiry the equipment, instrumentation and controls used for cargo handling on an
oil tanker under course Oil Tanker designs, systems and equipments.
. Understand the physical and chemical properties of oil cargoes, the associated
hazards and their conlrol measures during cargo operations
. Recognise the need of proper planning, the use of checklists and the time scales
involved in the various cargo handling operations
. Undertake risk assessment and apply occupational health and safety procedures
relevant to the various operations canied out on board an oil tanker
. Apply proper and safe procedures to perform and monitor all cargo operations on
board an oil lanker
. Monitor and control compliance with MARPOL and other relevant IMO
lnstruments and industry guidelines
. Promote safety and take precautions to prevent pollution of the environment
. Respond and coordinate aclions during emergencies
3. COURSECERTIFICATE
Documentary evidence in the form of a Course Certificate, the format of which is
appended at the end of this Annexure shall be issued by the DGS approved maritime

The Aim of this course is to provide training to Masters, chief engineer officers, chief
loading, discharging, care in transit, handling of chemical cargoes, tank cleaning or any
other cargo related operation on a chemical tanker. The coursemeets the requirements
of Regulation V/1-1 of the STCW Convention and covers the competence requirements
as given in the table under section A- V/1-1-3 ofthe STCW Code of the lnternational
Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, as
amended.
2. OBJECTIVES
This course comprises an advanced training programme for Chemical Tanker Cargo
Operations appropriate to the seafarer's duties, including chemical tanker safety, fire
safety measures, pollution prevention, operational prac{ice and obligations under
applicable law and regulations.

o Knowledge of the chemical tanker designs, systems and ldentify the equipment,
instrumenlation and controls used for cargo handling on achemical tanker
o Understand the physical and chemical properties of chemical cargoes, the
associated hazards and their control measures during cargo operations
.Recognise the need of proper planning, the use of checklists and the time scales
.Undertake risk assessment and apply occupational health and safety procedures
relevant to the various operations canied out on board a chemical tanker
.Apply proper and safe procedures to perform and monitor all cargo operations on
board a chemicaltanker, including loading, unloading and handling of cargo and
its care in transit
I nstruments and industry guidelines

I. AIMS
The Aim of this course is to provide training to Maslers, chief engineer officers, chief
loading, discharging, care in transit, handling of gas cargoes, lank cleaning or any
other cargo related operation on a liquefied gas tanker. The course meets the
requirements of Regulation Y|l-2 ol the STCW Convention and covers the
competence requirements as given in the table under section A- V/1-2-2 of the
STCW Code of the lntemational Convention on Standards of Training, Certification
and Watch keeping for Seafarers, as amended.
OBJECTIVES
This course comprises an advanced training programme for Liquefied Gas Tanker
Cargo operation appropriate to the seafarer's duties, including gas tanker safety, fire
safety measures, pollution prevention, operational praclice and obligations under
applicable law and regulations.
. Knowledge of the liquefied gas tanker designs, systems and ldentify the
equipment, instrumentation and conlrols used for cargo handling on aliquefied gas
tanker
. Understand the physical and chemical properties of liquefied gas cargoes, the
associated hazards and their control measures during cargo operations
. Recognise the need of proper planning, the use of checklists and the lime scales
. Undertake risk assessment and apply occupational health and safety procedures
relevant to the various operations canied out on board a liquefied gas tanker
. Apply proper and safe procedures to perform and monitor all cargo operations on
board a liquefied gas tanker, including loading, unloading and handling of cargo
and its care in transit
I nstruments and industry guidelines
. Promote safety and take precautions to prevent pollulion of the environment

. Respond and coordinate actions during emergencies, including the operation of
emergency shutdown system
