NIMASA STCW Tanker Familiarization case studies

The NIMASA STCW Tanker Familiarization credential is the Nigerian maritime administration's route for seafarers who need the STCW basic training that precedes service on oil, chemical or liquefied gas tankers. It is aimed at ratings and officers joining tanker crews, cadets starting tanker sea time, and shore or terminal staff who need to understand tanker cargo hazards. It is not a tanker endorsement in its own right: advanced cargo operations training builds on it. Assessment is typically multiple choice plus a written or oral component, and covers tanker types and cargo hazards, the STCW/MARPOL/SOLAS/ISGOTT framework, emergency procedures, ignition and static control, inert gas, pollution prevention, oil and chemical cargo practice, liquefied gas practice, and personal safety and PPE. The NIMASA STCW Tanker Familiarization case studies are 5 cases and about 3,448 words.
