LNG BUNKERING AND FUEL GAS SUPPLY SIMULATION

As a hands-on tool, a simulator is the most efficient way

to learn the correct behaviour in various situations that
might occur on a real ship without compromising safety

IS IT SAFE DO I UNDERSTAND WHICH VALVE WHAT TO DO

TO ACCESS? WHAT’S HAPPENING DO I NEED IN CASE OF
INSIDE? TO OPEN? EMERGENCY?
