What is LNG?
Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons which, when liquefied, form a clear colorless and odorless liquid; this LNG is usually transported and stored at a temperature very close to its boiling point at atmospheric pressure (approximately – 160 degree C).
LNG is very cold liquid form of natural gas - the fuel that's burned in gas stoves, home heaters, and electric power plants. When it warms back up, LNG becomes natural gas again. You can't liquefy natural gas without cooling it. Many countries export and many others import LNG by ship; the United States does both.
What is LPG?
Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) – these are mainly propane and butane, shipped either separately or in mixtures. They may be refinery by product gases or may be produced in conjunction with crude oil or natural gas.
The surveyor of LNG/LPG cargoes should test and inspect:

• Custody Transfer Inspection, including Reporting of Energy Calculations
  
• Master Sales Agreement (MSA) Contract Review and Consultation
• LNG Tank Caklibration (Vessel & Shore Tanks)
• Vessel CTMS Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT Inspection for new builds)
• Vessel CTMS Site Acceptance Testing (SAT Inspection for new builds)
  
• Re-Certification of Vessel CTMS Equipment (for existing fleet)…
  

Our course is fully covering these areas and more.

This course has been designed to provide marine cargo specialists and operations staff with solid marine knowledge required to understand the role of the marine cargo surveyor and the details of the surveys, inspections, claims, and investigations for cargoes and damage to cargoes so they can perform as effective marine cargo surveyors.

Anyone who services the global cargo inspection market and feels they would benefit from a more structured knowledge of the elements of commodities trade and inspections will find the course extremely beneficial.
