Application

The Check List applies to the cargo handling operations of oil tankers, chemical

carriers and gas tankers and is divi ded into three parts.

Part A

General - (all tankers)

Additional

(chemical tan kers handling chemical:;)

Pan B

Pan C

Additional - (gas tankers handling liquefied gases)

All tan kers - oil, chemical an d gas, shou ld complcte part A. Addi tionally,

ta nkers loading or discharging bulk chem icals should com plete part B and g~s tankers

loading or dischargi ng liquefied gases should complete part C.

The declaration at the end of the Check List shall be: made in all cases.

The Mutual Safdy Exa mination

A tanker presen ting itself to a loading or disch arging terminal needs to check its

own preparat ions and its fitness for the safety of the in tended cargo operation .

Additionally, the master of the ship has a responsibility to assure himself th at the

terminal operator has like .... ise made proper preparat ions for the safe operation of his

terminal.

Equally the terminal needs tocheck its own preparations and to be: assured that the

tanker has carried out its checks and has made appropriate arrangemen ts.

The Chec k List, by its questions and its re qu irements for exchange of written

agreeme nts for certain procedures. is a mini mum basis for the essential conside rations

which should be included in such a mutual examination.

Some of the Check Lis(s questi ons are directed to co nsideration for whic h the

tanker has prime responsi bility. Others apply to both tanker and terminal and the

remainder to the te rmin al alone. It is not suggested that every item should be: the

subject of personal checkin g by both representatives conducting the examina tion.

All items lying ""ithin the responsibility of the tanker shall be personally checked

hy lhe tan ker s representative and simila rly all items of the termina!"s responsibility

personally checked by lhe terminal representatives. In disc:harge of thei r full

responsibi li ties however. both representat"·es. by questioning the other, by sighting of

records and . where fe lt appropriate, by joint visual inspection shall assu re themselves

that the standards of safety on both sides of the operation are full:>, acceptable.

The joint declaration shall nOl be signed un til such mutual assurance is achieved .

Thus all applicable questions should result in an affi rm ative mark in the boxes

provided. If a difference of opinion arises on the ad equacy of any arrangements made

or conditions found. the operation shall not be: starte d until measu res tak en are jointl y

acce pted.

A negative answer to the quest ions coded " p " does not necessarily mean that th e

in tended operation cann ot be ca rri ed 01,11. In such cases, however, perm ission to

proceed must be obtained from the u eeutiye Director (Ports).

B m

Whe re an item is agreed 10 be not applicable 10 the ship, 10 the terminal o r to the

operation envisaged a nOtc to th ai effect shall be entered in the wRemarkJi" column.

White th e Check List is based upon cargo handlingopcrations il is required that lhe

same nlUlua] examination. using the Check List as appropri ate. be carried oul when a

tanker presents ilselfal a berth for tank dc:aningafterca rriagcof substa nces cove red by

these regulations.

Deviations

The conditions unde r which the ope ration takes place may cha nge during the

process. The: changes may be such thai s.afety or poJ II.u ion prevention can no longer be

regarded as gua rantced. Th e: party noticing or ca using the unsafe condition is under an

obliga tion to la ke all necessary actions. which may include Slopping the opera tion, to
