Safe Bunkering Operations – Training Course ONLINE

Registration

Purpose

Strict maritime pollution prevention and safety regulations require vessel crews to maintain a high level of awareness and competence during bunkering operations. These activities involve significant risks, including fuel spills, environmental pollution, fire, and equipment damage. Even a small fuel spill can cause substantial environmental harm, while receiving or using contaminated fuel can lead to serious operational problems and damage to marine engines. Proper planning, careful execution, and adherence to established procedures are therefore essential to ensuring safe and environmentally responsible bunkering operations.
