The «Cargo Handling and Stowage, Management, Oil Tanker» subject provides both theoretical and practical knowledge on safely working with electrical equipment. Mastery of this material is a key indicator of an employee’s competence in their role aboard a vessel. Cargo handling and stowage on an oil tanker involve the processes of loading, unloading, and storing liquid cargo, such as crude oil or petroleum products.
