BERNHARD SCHULTE SHIPMANAGEMENT [BSM] has opened a new liquid cargo training facility at its Maritime Training Centre [MTC] in Cyprus. The new unit is aimed specifically at LNG operations, both for LNG carriers and for the new breed of LNG-fuelled vessels. Combined with a structured career progression model, BSM says the facility will ensure that its crews are highly training and competent to support its growing LNG shipping operations around the world. "The new immersive environment is part of a wider boost to LNG training across the whole company, reflecting increasing industry demand and more LNG vessels entering the market," BSM states. Demand has increased enormously in recent years with a growing number of vessels being converted to LNG and significant orders for new LNG vessels placed with shipyards in Asia following the implementation of the IMO sulphur cap in January 2020.
