Description

The RFA are required to train Deck Officers in the safe operation of Tankers, including cargo management and legislation.
The RFA utilise Liquid Cargo Operations/Handling Courses, to supply training to RFA personnel; this course is not currently available through the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and cannot be run 'in house'.
Failure to ensure this training will result in lower levels of SQEP within the RFA, potentially resulting in the increase in hazardous incidents as well as increased likelihood of marine pollution. This will pose significant risk to the operational capability of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and therefore the Royal Navy. This course will provide personnel with the background knowledge that will allow them to better understand vessel suitability for tanker operations.
