Introduction

Oil and gas marine terminals are critical nodes in the global energy supply chain, facilitating the storage, handling, and transfer of crude oil and refined products between ships and onshore facilities. Efficient terminal operations require strong knowledge of logistics, safety, storage systems, and international regulations.

This program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, equips participants with the technical, operational, and safety knowledge required to manage and optimize marine terminal operations in the oil and gas industry.

Course Objectives

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the design and operation of marine terminals
• Identify key components such as jetties, storage tanks, and loading systems
• Manage ship loading and unloading operations
• Apply safety and environmental protection standards
• Implement terminal logistics and scheduling strategies
• Ensure compliance with international maritime and oil industry regulations
• Monitor terminal performance and operational efficiency
• Handle risks and emergency situations effectively
