.3 have completed approved advanced training for liquefied gas tanker cargo operations and meet the standard of competence specified in section A-V/1-2, paragraph 2 of the STCW Code.”

2.2 Purpose of the Training Record Book

This TRB successfully completed in accordance to instructions provided herein and countersigned by the master will provide unique evidence that a structured programme of onboard training has been completed leading towards the issue of a relevant Certificate in Advanced Training for Tanker Cargo Operations.

Definitions and clarifications

For the purpose of the Training Record Book, unless expressly provided otherwise:

1. Oil Tanker means a ship constructed and used for the carriage of petroleum and petroleum products in bulk;

2. Chemical Tanker means a ship constructed or adapted and used for the carriage in bulk of any liquid product listed in chapter 17 of the International Bulk Chemical Code;

3. Liquefied Gas Tanker means a ship constructed or adapted and used for the carriage in bulk of any liquefied gas or other product listed in chapter 19 of the International Gas Carrier Code;

4. The term “Shipboard Training Officer” means a qualified seagoing officer who, under the authority of the master, should organize and supewise the programme of training;

5. The term “Company training officer” means a person nominated by the company who should have an overall responsibility for the training programme and for coordination with training organizations;

6. Company means the owner of the ship or any other organization or person such as the manager, or the bareboat charterer, who has assumed the responsibility for operation of the ship from the shipowner and who, on assuming such responsibility, has agreed to take over all the duties and responsibilities imposed on the company by these regulations

Guidance regarding onboard training:

1. The trainee should be carried in a supernumerary capacity (i.e. the trainee will have no other duties than that of undertaking the training programme and emergency duties).

2. The programme of onboard training should be managed and coordinated by the company which manages the ship on which the seagoing service is to be performed and be a vessel nominated by the company as a training vessel. A nominated training vessel is a trading vessel named by the company that is suitable for the purpose of this guidance, as applicable.

3. At all times, the trainee should be aware of two identifiable individuals who are immediately responsible for the management of the programme of onboard training. The first of these is a qualified seagoing officer, referred to as the “shipboard training officer”, who, under the authority of the master, should organize and supervise the programme of training. The second should be a person nominated by the company, referred to as the “company training officer”, who should have an overall responsibility for the training programme and for coordination with training organizations.

4. During the approved onboard training programme the trainee should be instructed in the loading, discharging, care in transit, handling of cargo, tank cleaning or other cargo-related operations of the tanker to ensure that the experience gained is at least equal to that which would be obtained in three months’ normal service.

5. If the three-loading and three-unloading criteria cannot be achieved within the one-month onboard training period, then the period of onboard training should be extended until these criteria have been satisfactorily achieved.

6. As much use as possible should be made of shipboard operation and equipment manuals, films and suitable visual aids, and the opportunity should be taken to introduce discussion of the part to be played by the safety organization on board ship and the role of safety officers and safety committees.

Familiarization training for all tanker personnel

Every Company – under ISM Code chapter 6.3 – is obliged to “establish procedures to ensure that new personnel and personnel transferred to new assignments related to safety and protection of the environment are given proper familiarization with their duties. Instructions which are essential to be provided prior to sailing should be identified, documented and given.”

The familiarization procedure for tanker personnel should at least cover the matters set out below:

• familiarization training on board before being assigned to shipboard duties, which should be given by qualified personnel experienced in the handling and characteristics of oil, chemical or liquefied gas cargoes, as appropriate, and the safety procedures involved, namely:

  • In respect of regulations: Knowledge of the ship’s rules and regulations governing the safety of personnel on board a tanker in port and at sea.

  • In respect of health hazards and precautions to be taken: Dangers of skin contact; inhalation and accidental swallowing of cargo; the harmful properties of the cargoes carried, personnel accidents and associated first aid; lists of do’s and don’ts.

  • In respect of fire prevention and fire fighting: Control of smoking and cooking restrictions; sources of ignition; fire and explosion prevention; methods of fire fighting; portable fire extinguishers and fixed installations.

  • In respect of pollution prevention: Procedures to be followed to prevent air and water pollution and measures which will be taken in the event of spillage.

  • In respect of safety equipment and its use: The proper use of protective clothing and equipment, resuscitators, escape and rescue equipment.

  • In respect of emergency procedures: Familiarization with the emergency plan procedures.
