Course Objectives:

In crude oil marketing, shipping is critical, but how the Oil Terminal works is dynamic and structured operation. Its technical nature and operational complexity in addition to its importance therefore necessitates that both terminal operators and their supervisors develop the correct understanding of all aspects of the operation. This programme sets out to provide a comprehensive overview of oil terminal operations followed by the requirements and the critical components of a terminal. Terminal and Marine Operations will be discussed together with the Human Elements and Vessel/Tanker operations within Oil and Gas.
