GTT Training, wholly subsidiary of GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz), has formed a training partnership with Wavelink Maritime Institute (WMI) of Singapore to facilitate the delivery of GTT Training’s LNG industry related courses.

The new partnership will expand both WMI’s portfolio of courses offered to the maritime industry and GTT Training’s regional presence in Southeast Asia.

“We are very pleased to be able to announce this partnership with WMI as it will combine the resources and expertise of two leading institutions, enabling us to better assist the industry in providing the trained personnel they require to meet the increasing demand on vessels that carry and use LNG in the region,” said Ray Gillett, director and general manager of GTT Training.

The partnership agreement includes the installation of GTT Training’s Liquid Gas Handling Simulator ‘G-SIM’ at the Wavelink Maritime Simulation Centre and the co-sharing of expertise. This will facilitate the full range of LNG handling and operations courses for the personnel involved with LNG carriers, terminals and LNG fuelled vessels to be provided at WMI’s facility.
