Cargo Ballast Handling Simulator for Chemical Tanker

The Cargo Ballast Handling Simulator Course for Chemical Tanker is designed to provide deck officers with the knowledge and simulator-based practical skills required to safely plan, monitor, and conduct cargo and ballast operations on board chemical tankers. The course combines theoretical instruction with intensive simulator exercises covering cargo planning, tank preparation, loading, ballast operations, loaded voyage monitoring, cargo discharge, tank cleaning, ventilation, residue disposal in accordance with MARPOL, and operational debriefing.
