Our focused and strategic courses are designed and targeted to empower our students in this commercially attractive commodity that facilitates the efficient handling and transportation of LNG around the world. The LNG industry is developing new sources of supply and the technologies have evolved in recent years to enable offshore infrastructure to develop and handle resources in more remote and harsher environments.

Great. Welcome to our Institute that is specifically custom designed to meet your requirements. All our courses are suitable so that those with little or no understanding in the LNG industry can quickly develop their individual knowledge base, anywhere in the world. LNG is the fastest segment of the worldwide gas market. In addition, it is abundant, economical, environmentally friendly, can be transported safely to global destinations and can be utilized as a fuel source in the marine industry. There is a recognised skill shortage globally to meet this demand. Our mission is to correct this recognized shortfall and skill shortage in the marine LNG sector and throughout the entire LNG supply chain. We recognize this current and projected skills shortage which is also anticipated to create knowledge-based challenges through the marine oil and gas sectors.
We have combined the world’s leading LNG experts in one place. We have found that, no one particular expert, has the requisite learning, experience and educational ability to teach in every single facete in the LNG and marine industry. As an example, we have the combined expertise of world leading expert lecturers in; LNG marine engineering, LNG and Petrochemical science, LNG Safety, LNG equipment technicians. With a variety of sea going experience, including having served as Chief Engineers and also ashore as LNG Superintendents.
The Marine LNG Institute courses combine all this expertise. Our greatest asset are our people, who feature strongly in all maritime and marine industries involved in marine engineering, machinery, maintenance, LNG, oil and gas science, marine safety, propulsion, vessel part procurement, manufacturing, component integrity, compliance, marine insurance, cargo handling and equipment.
