Basic and Advanced training for operation of IGF ships

The Basic training course intends to provide a basic training for seafarers responsible for designated safety duties associated with the care, use or in emergency response to the LNG fuel on board ships subject to the IGF Code. The Advanced training course intends to provide an advanced training for masters, officers and all personnel with immediate responsibility for the care and use of fuels and fuel systems on ships subject to the IGF code. Aboa Mare´s IGF basic course is a prerequisite for the Aboa Mare IGF advanced course.

Most shipping companies also book an IGF simulator course that substitutes the required 30 sea days on board an IGF ship, including two out of the three required IGF bunkering operations for the Advanced certificate. The IGF simulator course is approved by The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, Traficom.
