OCTF – Oil and Chemical Tanker Cargo Operations

The instructors should demonstrate the functions and proper uses of gas-measuring instruments. Although different Models/make/type may have different methods of operation, the basic remains the same. For the purpose of training any type / model available in the training centre (Reference – A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9) should be used for this practical session. Trainees should be given an adequate amount of hands on experience in using

  • Portable oxygen meter
  • Portable combustible-gas detector
  • Portable tankscope / Multi point flammable gas (infra- red gas analyzer)
  • Portable toxic-gas detector & chemical absorption tubes
  • Portable multigas – detector
  • Personal multigas – detector
