Cargo Handling Simulator Course
Cargo Handling Simulator Course
Cargo Handling Simulator Course
It is a practical and theoretical Training Course, aimed at helping the participating Masters and
Deck Officers to make a more effective contribution to the safe and environmentally-sound oil
tanker cargo and ballast handling operations. The Training Course has been designed according
to the IMO Model Course 2.06 “Oil Tanker Cargo and Ballast Handling Simulator”. The cargo
related calculations and the simulator exercises constitute the most important and extensive part
of the course.
• LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Have acquired a greater awareness of the proper pre-planning, use of the Ship-Shore
Safety Checklist and of the implementation of safe procedures during loading/discharge
of crude oil and petroleum products.
- Be able to prepare, perform and monitor all cargo operations, including inerting and gas-
freeing, tank cleaning operations and crude oil washing.
- Be better familiar with the cargo handling equipment, instrumentation, devices and alarms.
• FACILITIES
The Training Course will take place at the ATHINA Maritime Learning and Development Center’s
K-Sim Liquid Cargo Full-Mission (Class A) and Desk-Top (Class C) Simulators and in the specially
designed Loading Instrument – Familiarization Classroom. The Full-Mission Simulator consists of
a Centralized Cargo Control Room with all necessary consoles and instrumentation including an
Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System, Overfill Devices, an on-line loading, stress and
stability instrument, Inert Gas Panel and a fixed gas detection system. A special compartment
simulates the shore loading/discharging terminal station and local deck post stations.
