Why should you choose work on a gas carrier: features, advantages, current offers for Marine MAN
Over the past decades, demand for gas transportation has grown rapidly, leading to the development of a specialized fleet of gas carriers. These vessels are designed to transport liquefied gases such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gases (LPG). Work on a gas carrier is a prestigious and highly paid profession, especially in our country, where the shipping industry is still gradually developing, despite all the political and economic situations. We will analyze in detail in this material the features of working on a gas carrier, the advantages and employment opportunities.
What are gas carriers and how do they work?
Gas carriers are ships designed to transport gaseous substances in a liquefied state. This is necessary because when gas is liquefied, its volume is significantly reduced, making transportation more efficient. For storage and transportation, such vessels are equipped with special structures, so-called “tanks,” that can withstand high pressure and extremely low temperatures.
Classification of gas carriers
Gas carriers are divided into two main categories:
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) ships are designed for transporting petroleum gases such as propane, butane, ammonia and other chemical compounds.
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) ships - transport liquefied natural gas (methane) at a temperature of -163°C.
Working on each of these types of ships requires specialized knowledge, since cargo has its own storage and transportation characteristics. Just come “off the street” without experience or education and get a job work as a gas truck driver absolutely impossible.
Advantages of working on gas carriers
Working on a gas carrier is not only prestige, but also a number of advantages that make this profession especially attractive among people who have a special education:
High wages. Seafarers working on gas carriers earn significantly more than their colleagues on other types of ships. This is due to the high complexity of the work and the need to strictly adhere to safety precautions.
Modern technologies. LNG carriers are equipped with advanced automation and control systems, allowing the crew to work with the latest equipment.
Career prospects. Working on a gas carrier opens up opportunities for further professional growth and employment in the world's leading shipping companies.
Increased safety standards. Despite the potential risks, LNG carriers have strict safety measures to minimize the likelihood of accidents.
Work stability. Global demand for gas transportation continues to grow, ensuring a steady supply of vacancies in the sector.
Even if you have special education and some experience, be prepared to face a number of difficulties and requirements when finding a job:
Availability of maritime documents (sea passport, STCW certificates, medical certificate).
Special training in the transportation of gases (IGF Code, safety course on gas carriers).
Work experience (for junior positions, minimum experience or internship is allowed).
Knowledge of English (the main language of communication in international shipping).
Even if you consider vacancies for gas carrier, be prepared for the fact that one of the requirements will be knowledge of the English language at a fairly high level.
