The first session of the Sub-Committee on Human Element, Training and Watchkeeping (HTW 1) took place at the Headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London between 17 and 22 February 2014.
![Page 4: Guidelines, Requirements & Training for Vessels Carrying Natural Gas as Fuel Margaret Kaigh Doyle September 4, 2014 1](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051415/56649cc55503460f9498e844/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

The HTW Sub-Committee developed draft amendments to Chapter V of STCW Convention and Code relating to training and certification requirements for seafarers on board ships using gases or other low flashpoint fuels as well as interim guidance on training for seafarers serving on ships using gases or other low flashpoint fuels.

The STCW amendments would be adopted and be part of the 2015 amendments to STCW, however, they will be worded so that they will come into force when the IGF Code comes into force (~2017).

The circular will come into effect when MSC approves it as a Resolution in November. Its purpose is to provide guidance until the IGF Code and the relevant STCW amendments come into force. It is also expected to replace the training sections in MSC Resolution 285(86) Chapter 8.

• The purpose of CTAC is to provide advice and consultation to the Coast Guard's Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Directorate with respect to the water transportation of hazardous materials in bulk.
• CTAC has traditionally provided technical advice and expertise not otherwise available from other sources. CTAC has not only been a very valuable source of expert advice, it has been a hands-on, extremely productive group, directly assisting the Coast Guard in its efforts to ensure the safe marine transportation of hazardous materials.

• Identify gaps in current Coast Guard policy and regulation on the design, installation and operation of natural gas fueled systems for propulsion of commercial vessels and the design of novel vessels carrying or processing natural and compressed gas vessels.
• Develop acceptable design criteria to fill those gaps.

• This training provides a bridge linking conventional bunkering and the transport of LNG as cargo. The intent of this course is to provide an equivalent level of safety and regulatory compliance using the guidelines, learning objectives and methodology currently used in the maritime training sector.
• This course will enable the student to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of:
• Safe operation for bunkering of liquefied gas when carried as a fuel
• Relevant LNG fuel propulsion system information • LNG safety, fire and pollution prevention measures• Safe operational practices specific to the Harvey Gulf
International Marine bunkering system
