Transport of Dangerous Goods on Offshore Support VesselsIntroduction
One of
the requirements in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods code relate to
the training for shore-side staff involved with dangerous goods. This training
is mandatory and may be audited by the competent authority. Persons which
didn't receive trained may only operate under the direct supervision of a
trained person.
Shore-side staff also
includes offshore based personnel such as roustabouts, crane operators,
materials co-ordinators and other persons involved in:
- packing of dangerous goods;
- marking and labelling of packages,
containers and tanks;
- packing of containers;
- unloading and loading of vessels;
and
- the preparation of dangerous goods
documents.
In addition to the
existing Internet based training “Dangerous Goods by Air – Offshore Helicopter
Operations“, SCS Training & Consultancy developed an Internet based
E-learning for the transport of dangerous goods on offshore support vessels.
This training complies with Part 1, Chapter 1.3 of the IMDG code and is
available in English, Dutch and Portuguese.

The objective
of this course is to train relevant staff in the understanding and application
of the provisions of the IMDG code, so they are able to safely and efficiently

Support Vessels.

As
required by the IMDG code, the training program addresses the following
categories:

Tests
Each
module is completed with a test, which contains multiple choices, true or
false, drag and drop or other type of questions. The test score is saved in the students test result bank.
Wrongly answered questions may be repeated, but will not be taken into account
for the test result. If the test result for a particular module is not
sufficient, the module will be repeated and a new test will be issued. In this
case, the result for the second test will be taken into account for the total
test result.
Certification
Upon
completing the course and obtaining a positive overall test result, a
certificate will be issued and send by e-mail to the training administrator of
the company. This certificate has a validity of 2 years.
