Ships subject to the IGF Code
Basic training
Required for:
- Seafarers responsible for designated safety duties associated with the care of, use of or in emergency response to the fuel on board ships subject to the IGF Code
To obtain a certificate of profiency, you must provide evidence of having completed the following courses, among others:
- BSH-approved practical fire-fighting operations training course for service on all types of tankers and for service on ships subject to the IGF Code
and - BSH-approved theoretical basic training course for service on ships subject to the IGF Code.
Holders of a valid certificate of proficiency for service on tankers have already successfully completed the practical fire-fighting operations training; therefore they only have to prove completion of BSH-approved basic training course for service on ships subject to the IGF Code. You can find further information on the application forms and in the information leaflet on ships subject to the IGF Code (in German only).
Holders of a valid certificate of proficiency for service on liquefied gas tankers already meet the requirements of basic training for service on IGF ships. Upon request, this can be rewritten.
Advanced training
Required for:
- Masters, engineering officers and all personnel with immediate responsibility for the care and use of fuels and fuel systems on ships subject to the IGF Code
Along with the application, you have to proof:
- a seagoing service of at least one month with a valid certificate of proficiency for IGF Basic-Training as well as
- the participation in at least three bunkering operations on board of ships subject to the IGF Code; up to two of these bunkering operations can, as part of the training, take place at a Simulator.
Reduced requirements apply to holders of a valid certificate of proficiency for advanced training for service on liquefied gas tankers. You can find further information on the application forms and in the information leaflet on ships subject to the IGF Code (in German only).
