Sažetak
Recent upsurge of the LNG exploitation and consequent growth of the LNG transport capacities by sea have triggered numerous new technologies to be developed and implemented in LNG shipbuilding as well as on board LNG carriers. In spite of this, education and training programs, particularly those for LNG carriers management staff, haven’t followed these changes. Only recently, two IMO Model Courses dealing with training for liquefied gas tanker cargo operations have been updated. These Model Courses strictly follow the STCW Convention programs and as such, if properly implemented, ensure the level of knowledge, understanding and skills as required by the Convention. On the other side, there are numerous indications that even these improved model courses will not cover all skills and knowledge required for the complex work on board LNG carriers. Consequently, the paper presents results of analysis of discrepancies identified between the education and training requirements as regulated by the STCW Convention, and additional training programs developed by shipping companies during last decade in order to overcome identified deficiencies. Based on the analysis the measures for improvement of the program for masters of 3000 BT or more on LNG carriers have been proposed.
