All the new training requirements for seafarers

IGF code training course

The IGF Code is mandatory (since 1 January 2017), for ships using gases or other low-flashpoint fuel and introduces new training requirements for seafarers working onboard these ships. The course informs on the criteria for the arrangement and installation of machinery, equipment and systems for vessels operating with gas or low-flashpoint liquids as fuel. The course informs also on the functional requirements that steer the ship’s design, construction, and operation, with a particular focus to the requirements for natural gas as fuel.
