The Malaysian Maritime Academy, also known as Academy Laut Malaysia (ALAM), in partnership with Teledata Marine Solutions, Singapore, has developed an e-Learning training programme for LNG Cargo Operations, aimed at educating officers to effectively manage cargo operations on board advanced LNG ships.
The programme has six modules: LNG Basics; LNG Equipment; LNG Support Systems; LNG Operations; LNG Security; and LNG Commercial, and is web-based so as to be accessible from anywhere in the world at any time.
The programme is hosted on Teledata’s Learning Management System (LMS) platform, also known as “Lighthouse”, and includes features such as animation and simulation functions, specialised e-coaches, and a discussion forum.
There is a practice test at the end of each module to monitor progress, with no limitation on the number of attempts allowed for the test. Scheduled tests are conducted by the e-coaches to examine the performance of the learner, while a Final Assessment generates random questions from the question bank, giving different weight to different modules depending on operational requirements.
The system will automatically generate a “Course Completion Certificate” when the learner scores a minimum of 70 per cent in the Final Assessment.
