A marine storage terminal and refinery is a complex living system. Interaction with all stakeholders is a challenge. Complying to an ever-growing number of rules, regulations and guidelines needs a control system which is manageable. We created a new management learning program that focuses on this concept: 'information reduces uncertainty' by using systems science. This is a unique approach developed after much research to make supervisors and managers understand how complex systems behave and generate risk.

Management when focusing on effectivity using technological, economic, or operational skills only, does not suffice anymore due to the enormous complexity of responsibilities and uncertainty which is the inability to know everything fully. Uncertainty is a fundamental property of complex systems primarily due to, many elements, high interconnectivity, interdependence, nonlinear interactions, and coevolution. Feedback loops during a system's development make the space of possible future states to the system grow at an exponential rate. Within complex environments, our traditional analytical methods for modelling the future – that depends on probability and statistics – break down. In response you need to invest more in understanding these broader trends. This course will show you how to respond and function within a wider range of possible states to maintain stability and prosperity.

HSE, knowledge, insight, awareness, skill, control, efficiency, time, to name just a few, are the necessary foundations for efficient and safe tank terminal and marine operations.

This well researched Risk Control and Tank Terminal Management and now offers this science-based training module. It will be highlighted by photographic material and true live situations taken from our international experience.

Why You Should Attend

This 3-day highly interactive and practical course will assist petroleum, crude oil and chemical terminals in achieving a competitive advantage by having an effective and well-managed operation. This will ensure your operational processes and workforce perform up to the highest standards.
