Advanced Professional Certificate in Green Shipping, LNG & Maritime Decarbonisation
The Advanced Professional Certificate in Green Shipping, LNG & Maritime Decarbonisation equips
shipowners, operators, and port stakeholders to plan and execute practical decarbonisation
pathways while maintaining safety, compliance, and commercial performance.
Course Overview
The Advanced Professional Certificate in Green Shipping, LNG & Maritime Decarbonisation equips
shipowners, operators, and port stakeholders to plan and execute practical decarbonisation
pathways while maintaining safety, compliance, and commercial performance.
The programme blends IMO decarbonisation measures (EEXI/CII/SEEMP Part III), EU MRV/ETS
readiness, alternative fuels (LNG, methanol, ammonia, biofuels), energy-efficiency tech &
operations, bunkering safety, and green-corridor strategy—so participants can turn targets into
verifiable results.
Why This Course is Important?
- Regulatory pressure: IMO and regional regimes (e.g., EU ETS) are tightening; non- compliance risks cost and market access.
- Commercial advantage: Efficient ships and green credentials win charters, finance, and customer preference.
- Transition risk: Alternative fuels and retrofits require rigorous safety, technical, and economic evaluation.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:
- Interpret IMO decarbonisation measures (EEXI, CII) and develop SEEMP Part III monitoring and improvement plans.
- Assess fuel pathways (LNG, methanol, ammonia, biofuels, shore power) across safety, maturity, availability, and lifecycle emissions.
- Prepare LNG & alternative-fuel bunkering procedures and risk assessments.
- Select energy-efficiency technologies (air-lubrication, propeller/hull upgrades, wind-assist, waste-heat recovery) and operational measures (voyage optimisation, Just-in-Time).
- Build MRV/ETS/DCS data pipelines, calculate emissions baselines, and manage allowance/credit exposure.
- Design green-corridor and port collaboration strategies that align infrastructure, incentives, and digital reporting.
Target Audience
- Shipowners/Managers, Technical & Marine Superintendents
- Charterers, Traders, and Marine Commercial Managers
- Port & Terminal Energy/Strategy Teams; Bunker Suppliers
