The safe and efficient transfer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is vital to protect the environment,

safeguard personnel, and ensure the stability of the shipping industry. LNG STS (Ship-to-Ship) operations

require strict adherence to regulations, careful planning, specialized equipment, and advanced technology

to be performed safely and effectively.

This course provides trainees with a comprehensive understanding of LNG STS mooring and transfer operations.

It covers both regular and emergency procedures and introduces specialized equipment used to ensure smooth LNG

cargo transfers. Special focus is given to transfer operations between an LNG Carrier (LNGC) and a Floating

Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU).

Key Learning Objectives

The aim of this course is to equip learners with the principles, knowledge, and practical skills necessary

to safely and efficiently participate in LNG STS transfer operations, while understanding the regulatory

framework that governs them.
