Alternative Fuels: Onboard Operations
Delve into the operational aspects of next generation fuels with The Nautical Institute Academy.
The maritime industry is increasingly turning to alternative fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with stringent environmental regulations. This course builds on the Nautical Institute Academy’s alternative fuels training by focusing on the operational, risk, and technical considerations of working with alternative fuels, such as Ammonia and LNG onboard ships. This two-day programme explores the onboard implications of the transition towards these alternative fuels.
Designed for engineers, auditors, inspectors and deck officers who require a working understanding of fuel properties, system arrangements, and operational risks. Join The Nautical Institute Academy on a journey to better understand the operational aspects of alternative fuels.
This course is a counterpart to Alternative Fuels: Management, which focuses on strategic, regulatory, and organisational considerations associated with alternative fuels.
The course includes:
- Overview of alternative fuels currently used or emerging in shipping
- Fuel properties and associated hazards, including implications for shipboard systems
- Typical fuel storage, supply, and monitoring arrangements onboard ships
- Bunkering operations and safety considerations
- Operational risk assessment and control measures
- Inspection readiness and procedural compliance
On completion of the course, participants will:
- Understand the operational and technical risks associated with alternative fuels
- Apply knowledge of fuel properties and systems to onboard operations
- Contribute to onboard risk assessments and safety management processes
- Be better prepared for inspections involving alternative fuel systems
- Support safe and compliant shipboard operations
The course is an 8-hour total programme, delivered over 2 days.
- Expert-led presentation.
- Facilitated discussion.
- Real world case studies.
We can also offer bespoke company-specific training, in-person or online. Just get in touch.
This course is suitable for:
- Engineering and Electrician officers
- Deck officers with operational or safety responsibilities
- Shipboard safety and compliance personnel
- Technical staff supporting onboard operations
Participants are expected to have general maritime operational or engineering experience.
