Neil Macnab Advanced STS and LNG Transfer OperationsNeil Macnab
(Class 1 Master Mariners) – Training
Instructor, GTT Training LTD

Neil has been involved with the Maritime and Shipping industry for over 36 years where his foundation was built with Shell from Cadetship to Master.  Within 23 years at sea, Neil spent twenty on Crude Oil, Product Tankers, Bulk carrier and numerous LNG Carriers, both Moss and Membrane.

He was deeply engaged on trade in the Far East, Australia and Japan when he became Master on LNG carriers. Neil has completed numerous STS transfers for Crude Oil on VLCCs in the Gulf of Mexico and he performed weekly STS operations from 30,000 tons Product Carriers to small coasters in the Gulf of Thailand.

More recently Neil has carried out training and attended a number of LNG STS operations for Ship Management Companies in South America.

Aside from Shell, he has also worked for 12 years in shore side roles for global maritime companies such as K Line Shipping UK Limited, MOL LNG Transport Europe Ltd and BG Global LNG Shipping, where he has held HSSE Manager and operations roles.

Neil also has experience in accident and incident investigation and expert witness roles in numerous cases while working for marine consultancies, including collisions, groundings, unsafe ports, cargo loss and damage claims.

Some of his clients includes Maritime Port Authority of Singapore, British Wind Energy Association (UK), CNOOC, PPT PLC, BHP Billiton, MOL LNG, PSA Marine Pte Ltd, Pavilion Gas, V-Ships Greece. BP Shipping (Singapore), Marshall Islands Flag Administration, Conrad LNG and the USC, Port Klang Authority, China LNG Shipping, Chevron Shipping, Cameron Shipping, Dragon LNG Terminal.
