Scope (Target audience) : The course Ship to ship operation is aimed at providing advice for Masters, marine superintendents and others responsible for planning STS transfer operations. It is primarily directed to the transfer of crude oil and petroleum products between ocean-going ships.

Course content :  The course is directly concerned with STS transfer operations undertaken at sea. Therefore in places that may be beyond the assistance of normal port services. The recommendations apply to seagoing ships when it is intended that they moor alongside each other. However, the course may also be useful as a reference when establishing rules for transfer operations between seagoing ships and barges or estuarial craft in inshore waters. The course can also provide background advice to companies operating offshore storage or production facilities where direct transfer to seagoing ships takes place. In addition the course may be of assistance when carrying out emergency STS transfer operations when one of the ships involved is disabled or aground.
