With the rapid growth of LNG shipping, the introduction of a system of internationally recognised and structured training programmes was necessary. In 2005, the Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO) released the first version of its ‘LNG Shipping Competency Standards’ to provide guidance and suggested best practice for the industry. A second edition was published in 2008. This third edition was published in 2020 to incorporate developments within the LNG industry, including the latest updates to The International Code for Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code). 

At almost 500 pages, this publication covers all areas of LNG carriage and care by sea.

If you live in a remote area, a ‘remote area surcharge’ may be applicable when booking your order on with a courier service for dispatch. A remote area surcharge is an additional fee that is added by a courier service for delivery to a remote location. We will always contact you about this should it ever happen, as it is not a fee that applies during the checkout phase of the online ordering process, but you will be expected to pay it should you wish to receive your order.

Orders placed with us will be dispatched within one to two working days. Dispatch is dependent upon the time when the order is received and provided that all goods ordered are immediately available. If any items are temporarily out of stock, we will endeavour to dispatch the complete order within 7 working days. We always endeavour to ship complete orders and try our best not to ship part orders as a general rule, but on occasion this rule may have grounds for it to be broken due to the varying nature of orders received. We will always try our best to communicate the status of your order should any issue arise that we feel you need to be made aware of.
