INTERNATIONAL SAFETY GUIDE FOR OIL TANKERS AND TERMINALS

9.9.2.7 Training and Drills
9.9.3 Actions in the Event of an Emergency่านั้น---
Ship’s personnel should be familiar with the theory of fire-fighting outlined
in Chapter 5 and should receive instruction in the use of fire-fighting and
emergency equipment. Practices and drills should be arranged at
intervals to ensure that personnel retain their familiarity with the
งานห้องสมุด ศูนย์ฝกพาณิชย์นาวี
equipment.
If an opportunity arises for a combined fire practice or ‘table-top’ drill with
shore personnel at a terminal (see Section 20.2.8), the Master should
make an officer available to show the shore personnel the location of
portable and fixed fire-fighting equipment on board and also to instruct
them on any design features of the ship which may require special

attention in case of fire.

9.9.3.1 Fire on a Tanker at Sea or at Anchor
Ship’s personnel who discover an outbreak of fire must immediately raise
the alarm, indicating the location of the fire. The ship’s fire alarm must be
operated as soon as possible.

Personnel in the vicinity of the fire should apply the nearest suitable
ึ
extinguishing agent to attempt to limit the spread of the fire, to extinguish
it, and thereafter to prevent re-ignition (see Section 5.3). If they are
unsuccessful, their actions should very quickly be superseded by the
activation of the tanker’s emergency plan.

Any cargo, ballast, tank cleaning or bunkering operations should be
stopped immediately and all valves closed. Any craft alongside should be
removed.

Once all personnel have been evacuated from the vicinity, all doors,
openings and tank apertures should be closed as quickly as possible and
mechanical ventilation should be stopped. Decks, bulkheads and other
structures in the vicinity of the fire, and adjacent tanks that contain
petroleum liquids or are not gas free, should be cooled with water.

The tanker should be manoeuvred so as to resist the spread of the fire
and to allow the fire to be attacked from windward.

9.9.3.2 Emergencies in Port

Emergencies occurring either on board or adjacent to the tanker when it
is in a port are addressed in Section 26.5, as action taken will be the joint
responsibility of the Master and the port or terminal authority.

9.9.3.3 Jettison of Cargo

The jettisoning of cargo is an extreme measure justified only as a means
of saving life at sea or for the safety of the ship. A decision to jettison
cargo should therefore not be taken until all the alternative options have
been considered in the light of available information on stability and
reserve buoyancy.

If it is necessary to jettison cargo, the following precautions should be
taken:
