International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers & Terminals (ISGOTT)

Safety is of paramount importance in the tanker sector; the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) and the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) organisations support the main regulatory body, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), in this most critical issue they have prepared a joint International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT).

ISGOTT training course provides guidance to individuals working in tankers and terminals concerning the safe transportation and handling of crude oil and petroleum products within these facilities. The most updated ISGOTT (sixth edition) has four different parts; Part 1 General Information, Part 2 Tanker Information, Part 3 Marine Terminal Information and Part 4 Ship/Shore (Tanker/Terminal) Interface.

This training course draws attention to safe maritime transportation and the ISGOTT, the key points and barriers in oil tankers and terminal interfaces measures in the workplace from the organisational to the personal level. It will have several important goals, one of which is to advise personnel directly involved in tanker and terminal operations and acquire information that will assist the delegates in developing a Safety Management System within their own company.
