IMO Model Course 2.06 Oil Tanker Cargo and Ballast Handling Simulator Course (LICOS OIL)

Our Liquid Cargo Operations Simulator (LICOS) offers real-time simulation of the process flow control system used in the storage and transfer of hazardous bulk liquid cargoes between shore, ship, and other ships as needed. LICOS accurately replicates operational conditions, including temperature, pressure, levels, flow rates, statistical data, and valve timing, ensuring simultaneous control of all parameters.

LICOS provides a comprehensive and realistic training environment. It addresses critical competencies such as planning and monitoring the loading process on crude carriers and product tankers, ensuring care during the loaded voyage, discharging cargo, adhering to pollution prevention regulations, and maintaining vessel seaworthiness in terms of stability, stress, and trim. This technology prepares users for the safe and efficient handling of hazardous liquid cargoes.

5 days classroom, on-site or online.

Because an OOW is based around the control room, online isn't the obstacle for LICOS that it would be for a BRM course.
