This is a practical course for Officers and ratings who are to serve on board liquefied natural gas tankers and are required by STCW Convention regulation V/1-2 to have appropriate operational experience on board liquefied natural gas tankers or to have completed approved shore-based specialized training related to gas tanker operations. The course consists of a series of exercises structured around the operation of the cargo and ballast systems of an LNG tanker and carried out using an approved simulator.

The purpose of the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) is to provide an international standard for the safe carriage by sea in bulk of liquefied gases and certain other substances that are listed in chapter 19.

Through consideration of the products carried it prescribes the design and construction standards of the ships involved and the equipment they should carry to minimize the risk to the ship its crew and the environment.

La finalidad del presente código es sentar una norma internacional para la seguridad del transporte marítimo a granel de gases licuados y de determinadas otras sustancias que se enumeran en el capítulo 19. Teniendo en cuenta los productos transportados se prescribe que los buques destinados a dicho transporte utilicen normas de proyecto y de construcción y un equipo que permitan reducir al mínimo los riesgos a los que se expone el buque su tripulación y el medio ambiente.

This course provides training for officers and ratings. It comprises a basic training programme appropriate to their duties for liquefied gas tanker safety fire safety measures and cargo systems pollution prevention safe operational practice and obligations under applicable laws and regulations. The course takes full account of section A-V/1-2 of the STCW Code adopted by the International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers as amended including the Manila amendments 2010.

The course is essentially a practical one and consists of a series of exercises structured around the operation of the cargo and ballast installation of a liquefied gas tanker and carried out in conjunction with a simulator.

The purpose of the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Lyquified Gases in Bulk (IGC Code 1993) is to provide an international standard for the safe carriage by sea of liquefied gases (and other substances listed in the Code) in bulk. To minimize risks to ships involved in such carriage to their crews and to the environment the Code prescribes the design and constructional standards of such ships and the equipment they should carry.

This edition remains valid and applies to all applicable ships constructed before 1 January 2016.

يتمثل الغرض من المـدونة الدولية لبناء وتجهيز السفن ناقلة الغازات المُسالة السائبة (مدونة IGC لعام 1993) في وضع معيار دولي للنقل البحري الآمن للغازات المسالة (وغيرها من المواد المدرجة في المدونة) في صورة سائبة. ومن أجل الحد من الأخطار المحتملة على السفن التي تحمل هذه المواد وعلى أفراد أطقمها وعلى البيئة، تحدِّد المدونة معايير التصميم والبناء الخاصة بهذه السفن وما ينبغي أن تحمله من معدات.

ولا تزال هذه المدونة سارية وتنطبق على جميع السفن المعنية المبنية قبل 1 كانون الثاني/يناير 2016.

The Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (GC Code) was developed to provide an international standard for the safe carriage by sea in bulk of liquefied gases and certain other substances. To minimize the risks to ships involved in such carriage to their crews and to the environment the Code prescribes the design and constructional features of such ships and the equipment they should carry. The Code generally applies to ships built on or after 31 December 1976 but prior to 1 July 1986. This edition incorporates amendments 1 to 4 including a supplement containing amendments adopted by resolution MSC.32(63) which came into force on 1 July 1998.

A supplement Summary of Minimum Requirements of the Code is included.

The purpose of this Code is to provide international standards for the safe carriage of liquefied gases in bulk by ships which are currently in service or which otherwise fall outside the scope of the more extensive standards contained in resolution A.328(IX). The Code generally applies to ships delivered before 31 December 1976. The supplement Summary of Minimum Requirements of the Code and 1980 Supplement are included.
