It is not the intention of the course to compartmentalize the trainee’s way of thinking in terms of gas tanker operation. The idea is to make him / her aware of the specialization of operations specific to a gas tanker and sensitize him/her towards hazards associated with carriage of various hazardous gases and the likely situations that s/he will face on such a vessel.
