Steam Propulsion for LNG Carriers @ Singapore Maritime Academy: July 2008

Steam Engineering for LNG Ships

The current phase of unprecedented rapid growth in LNG transportation at sea was not really anticipated. The resulting acute manpower shortage in this niche industry sector provides a unique opportunity for the maritime training institutes worldwide.

Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA) has just started a course covering Steam Engineering for LNG Propulsion. The course is jointly organized by Singapore Maritime Academy and Maritime Port Authority of Singapore.

It is a course for the sea-going marine engineers with Class I or Class II COC (Motorship), who would like to get a steam COC for sailing on LNG Carriers using boil-off LNG gas for steam propulsion.

This blog supports development of steam engineering knowledge for LNG ships.

Next Course (Full Time- 15 days), From: 1st September 2008 to 18th September 2008. There are only 12 seats! 8-hour each day [8am to 12noon & 1pm to 5pm] - 6days per week [Monday to Saturday].
