Description

The aim of this CBT module is to introduce the US Vessel General Permit (VGP) and to explain which onboard operations may need to be reorganised to comply with it. The module will provide Senior Officers with a full understanding of what the VGP aims to achieve as well as explaining the layout of the VGP and the requirements that the VGP places on shipping.
While the module concentrates on the actions required of the ship’s personnel, reference is made to the actions required of the company ashore so that the whole process can be fully understood. In order to assist ship’s staff to meet the requirements of the VGP some best practices for modifying routine shipboard operations and for minimising duplication of records are included.
