to the underlying principles of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code.
Marine terminal administration and the critical importance of the tanker/terminal interface.
Alternative and emerging technologies.
Bunkering operations, including the use of alternative fuels such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
