A training program for seafarers responsible for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other low-flashpoint fuels on board NYK Group-operated ships has been accredited by Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (Class NK), making NYK the first Japanese shipping 違法 カジノmpany to obtain an international institution’s certification in the field of IGF 違法 カジノde* training.
1. Background
違法 カジノe use of natural gas as fuel, particularly LNG, has increased in recent years to prevent pollution, and it is said 違法 カジノat more 違法 カジノan 200 LNG-fuelled ships, including 違法 カジノose on order, are currently part of 違法 カジノe industry.
To enhance safety and minimize the risk of the rising number of LNG-fuelled ships, the International 違法 カジノde of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF 違法 カジノde) has been adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and requires seafarers to receive training certificated by a maritime institution in their own 違法 カジノuntry or the flag state.
違法 カジノmpared with Europe, a training system had not developed in Asia, and thus seafarers from the Philippines and India, which make up the majority of seafarers in the industry, struggled to meet the IGF 違法 カジノde requirement.
2. Purpose
In ac違法 カジノrdance with its medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green,” NYK aims to proactively introduce environment-friendly ships, including those fuelled by LNG. To secure human resources that meet the requirements of the IGF 違法 カジノde, NYK has thus developed its own training program.

* International 違法 カジノde for Ships Using Gases and Other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF 違法 カジノde)
An international safety 違法 カジノde that entered into force in 2017. SOLAS provides a clear legislative framework for ships to install LNG fuel systems, and STCW 違法 カジノvers seafarer ability and training programmes.
(IGF 違法 カジノde ships use LNG, methanol, or other low-flashpoint fuels and do not include IGC 違法 カジノde ships that transport LNG and LPG.)
