IGC Code-compliant officers with advanced gas tanker training for LNG, LPG, and LEG carriers
Gas carrier operations represent the most technically demanding segment of the maritime industry. Officers serving on LNG, LPG, and LEG carriers require advanced gas tanker training, IGC Code knowledge, and practical experience with specialised cargo containment and handling systems including membrane tanks, Moss-type spherical tanks, and semi-pressurised/fully refrigerated systems.
