A. S. Moloobhoy Training has just upped the ante in maritime education by teaming up with GTT Training, a subsidiary of the global LNG containment tech giant Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT). This isn’t just another training partnership—it’s a powerhouse collaboration that could reshape how the industry prepares its workforce for the LNG and alternative fuels revolution.
LNG is no longer the future—it’s the now. With over two-thirds of the world’s LNG carriers running on GTT’s membrane containment tech, this partnership brings real-world expertise to the classroom. GTT Training’s instructors boast over 100 years of combined seagoing experience, while GTT itself has spent more than 50 years perfecting LNG containment systems. That’s a wealth of knowledge walking into A. S. Moloobhoy’s training centre.
The collaboration isn’t just about slapping GTT’s name on existing courses. This is about building something new—specialised LNG training programmes, bespoke courses for the growing alternative marine fuels sector, and approved courses that add real value. Som Neogy, General Manager of A. S. Moloobhoy Training, put it bluntly: “Our partnership with GTT Training adds significant value to the range of courses we can offer to our clients in the region.” That’s not just industry speak—that’s a promise of tangible upgrades.
For GTT Training, this isn’t just another market to enter. Neil Macnab, General Manager of GTT Training, said, “We are delighted to join forces with A. S. Moloobhoy Training. As the maritime sector embraces LNG and alternative fuels, this partnership will help deliver the skills needed to support safe, efficient and sustainable operations worldwide.” This is about future-proofing the workforce. With LNG and alternative fuels becoming the backbone of decarbonisation efforts, the demand for skilled professionals is skyrocketing. This partnership ensures that the next generation of maritime professionals isn’t just trained—they’re battle-tested, ready to step into roles where safety, efficiency, and sustainability aren’t just buzzwords, but daily realities.
But here’s the real kicker: this isn’t just about India. A. S. Moloobhoy Training has been a stalwart in the Indian maritime space for over 120 years, and its Maritime Training Centre, established in 2012, is already a recognised hub for maritime education. Now, with GTT Training’s global reach and cutting-edge simulation models, this partnership could set a new standard for LNG and alternative fuels training worldwide.
The maritime industry is at a crossroads. The shift towards LNG and alternative fuels isn’t just happening—it’s accelerating. And with this partnership, A. S. Moloobhoy Training and GTT Training aren’t just keeping up—they’re leading the charge. This is more than a training initiative; it’s a strategic move that could redefine how the industry prepares for the future.
