On 25.02.2011post-graduate studies „LNG Transport and Terminal Operation”, arranged by the Faculty of Marine Engineering of the MU of Szczecin at the cooperation of the Faculty of Drilling, Oil and Gas (AGH University of Science and Technology of Krakow), has just been launched.
The festive inauguration was attended by:
- Prof. Stanisław Gucma, Master Mariner, the Rector of the MU of Szczecin,
- Vice Rector for Science, Przemysław Rajewski, PhD, Marine Engineer;
- Dean of the Faculty of Marine Engineering, Prof. Cezary Behrendt
- Mariusz Łaciak, PhD, coordinator of the studies on behalf of AGH of Krakow,
- Marcin Szczepanek, PhD, the head of the studies,
- 38 students.
The basic objective of „LNG Transport and Terminal Operation” studies is instructing and preparing the staff of engineers for the work on transport, machinery, re-gasification systems, storage and LNG transfer related positions. Its main focus is to equip the students with knowledge and skills concerning e.g. fundamentals of cryogenics, physics/chemistry of liquefied gases, heat exchangers, industrial automation, net gas and LNG transport as well as technological processes connected with LNG industry in its broad sense and safe terminal operation. The studies are addressed to university graduates, specializing or intending to specialize in the subject of on – shore LNG transport and on – shore LNG discharge terminals.
