Course Overview

A marine loading arm, commonly called a mechanical loading arm, is a mechanical arm consisting of steel pipes that connect a cargo terminal or storage tanker to a transport tanker or ship. It is controlled either manually or hydraulically. Marine loading arms can handle both liquids and gases of varying viscosities and temperatures.

Broadly, they consist of four main parts—a stand post, an inboard arm, an outboard arm and swivel joints. Marine loading arms are symmetrical in design, which serves several purposes, such as distributing the load across swivel joints, symmetrical division of forces within the structure, etc.

While loading arms are one of the most convenient and suitable loading technologies or machinery one could think of, the extent of activities at ports and harbours and the need for faster and more efficient machines and technologies is resulting in further innovation to ease ship-to-shore connections.

Given the transport and the extent of activity and operations performed using marine loading arms, they need to be manufactured such that they are resistant to wear and tear and are flexible enough to follow ships’ movements.

Since marine loading arms are used to load all types of liquids and gases and, as a result, are subject to hazardous chemicals and substances, the associated control system for such arms needs to meet a broad range of standards for protection against any explosion.

There are several types of control panels, including local control, explosion-protected pendant control, radio control and human-machine interface control. Thus, a marine terminal control system, commonly known as a terminal operating system, is an important tool within a marine terminal or port to manage and/or control the movement and storage of various types of cargo.

The primary objective of using such systems is to provide a set of computerised procedures to manage cargo, machines and people within the storage facility to enable efficient and effective management of the facility. A terminal control system fosters better use of assets, labour and resources; more accurate workload planning; readily available information; etc.

This Zoe training course will empower you with in-depth knowledge and thorough understanding of marine loading arms and their corresponding terminal control systems. The knowledge and information gained through this course will enhance your skillset and potential to take up roles with higher responsibilities, thus contributing to your career progression.

Further, by undertaking this course, you will be capable of handling technical glitch-related hiccups efficiently and promptly. The exposure and confidence gained through this training session will empower you to provide more suggestions and enhancement ideas to the loading process.

Overall, this Marine Loading Arm, Terminal Operating and Management System training course will equip you to significantly contribute to seamless cargo transport from the terminal storage facility to the vessel, in turn increasing your avenues for growth and progression.

Course Objectives

The main objective of this Marine Loading Arm, Terminal Operating and Management System course is to empower marine professionals with—

  • thorough knowledge and information about marine loading arms and terminal control systems
