OIL AND GAS LOADING MASTER CERTIFICATION 2012 - 3 Day Workshop

To become and be a LOADING MASTER working in a tank storage terminal or refinery is

challenging.

It means mastering the art of loading and unloading activities and carrying the
responsibilities that come with it. It involves Custody Transfer, which in short means
the transporting of physical substance from one operator to another. It includes the
transferring of raw and refined petroleum between tanks and tankers.

Every step of this Custody Transfer Operation such as safety, quality and quantity
protection, preparation by planning, transparent communication and organization, are
necessary skills needed.

This workshop is designed to teach and create confidence by practical learning. It

focuses on maximum efficiency and pragmatic control to minimize port turn around
time.

The first part of the training will be to test existing knowledge of the students. At the end
there will be an exam, which allows the students to be officially recognized as Loading
Masters by TTT as an approved training provider by the Energy Institute.

This training program can be delivered all over the world on demand at your location. In
case ‘on the job’ guidance is needed to prepare your personnel prior to the workshop,
this of course is possible.
Below you will find our subjects, but we offer you the flexibility to choose those you
deem important and add others you may want us to address.
