The IGF Basic course has been designed to meet the requirements of the STCW Convention 1978, as amended, Table A-V/3-2.

The purpose of this Code is to ensure the safe and environmentally sound design, construction and operation of ships and in particular their installations of propulsion machinery systems, auxiliary power units and/or other machinery using low flash point gas or fuel as fuel. Masters, engineers and all crew members with direct responsibility for the care and use of fuels and fuel systems on board ships covered by the IGF Code must hold a certificate of continuing training for service on ships covered by the Advanced IGF Code (IGF training).

The IGF code requires 3 bunker operations to receive the Advanced training level. Two of the three bunkering operations may be replaced by approved simulator training as part of the advanced training. In cooperation with Kongsberg simulators, AMA can offer this possibility, providing a full certification.
