Course Details

Bulk cargo carriers like oil tankers and gas carriers encounter limitations when docking at ports with draught restrictions. To mitigate this challenge, ship-to-ship transfer operations are employed. This method proves cost-effective, bypassing port berthing charges and reducing time spent on mooring. However, it introduces significant environmental and safety risks.

Operating in open sea without mooring, vessels engage in cargo transfer, heightening the potential for pollution and fire hazards. Leakage becomes a prevalent concern due to the dynamic nature of the operation, as ships are either in motion or minimally secured.

Despite its efficiency in circumventing port constraints, ship-to-ship transfer demands stringent safety protocols and environmental safeguards to mitigate potential adverse impacts on marine ecosystems and coastal regions. Balancing operational expediency with environmental stewardship remains paramount in managing such bulk cargo transfer operations.
