Special course program
Special course program means the alternative LNG Cargo Operations - Management Level (SIGTTO) course, which is best suited to those who already have some LNG experience and follows the syllabus set out by SIGTTO in their suggested LNG competence standard (second edition 2008)
at the management level.
The course follows the same dry-dock to dry-dock voyage cycle as the LNG Tanker Operations course but includes a wider range of subjects as set out in the SIGTTO syllabus:
