SIGTTO LNG and LPG Experience Matrix Guidelines for Use
Year: 2016 Language: english Author: SIGTTO Publisher: Witherby Publishing Group Ltd Edition: 1st Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 12 Description: In the years since the Matrix was published, it has been brought to the attention of the Society that some terminals and charterers are applying it prescriptively, so that the levels of experience are considered to be minimum thresholds, where any shortfall is unacceptable (no matter how small). By contrast, the Society’s accompanying recommendation to the Matrix is that: “in the event of noncompliance with a particular element of the experience matrix, consideration should be given to other mitigating factors, including bespoke training, the manning scale in place, time with the LNG/LPG ship owner/operator and the wider competence management systems employed by the ship operator in officer recruitment and development”. It was, therefore, agreed at GPC 73 (and subsequently approved by the board in May 2016) that the Secretariat should issue further guidance as to the recommended application of the Matrix in the assessment and management of risk. Additional info: The Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO) is a non-profit making organisation dedicated to protect and promote the mutual interests of its members in matters related to the safe and reliable operation of gas tankers and terminals within a sound environment. The Society was founded in 1979 and was granted consultative status at the International Maritime Organization in November 1983.
