OPERATIONS

This Chapter provides information on a range of terminal operational procedures
and activities that influence the safe receipt and handling of ships. These include
the assessment of limiting environmental criteria for safe operations and issues
associated with the provision of a safe means of access between the ship and
shore.

Operations requiring special procedures are described, including the double
banking of ships and the loading and discharging of cargo utilising tidal increases
in depth of water, called ‘over the tide’.

The Chapter also includes a brief explanation of the phenomenon of pressure
surge in pipelines and discusses the manner in which it may be controlled.

The Section on pipeline flow rates provides guidance on precautions necessary
ึ
to control static electricity generation in receiving tanks on board or ashore.

16.1 Pre-Arrival Communications

Terminals should provide ships visiting their berths with information on all pertinent
local regulations and terminal safety requirements.

Detailed information on communications at the ship/shore interface is given in
Chapter 22.

16.2 Mooring

Mooring equipment should be appropriate for the sizes of ship using the berths (see
Section 15.6 for ship criteria). The equipment provided should allow the ship’s
mooring arrangements to hold the ship securely alongside the berth in the weather
and tidal conditions expected at the berth (see Chapter 23).

16.2.1 Mooring Equipment

The terminal should provide mooring bollards, mooring bitts or mooring
hooks positioned and sized for the ships visiting the berth.

The Safe Working Load (SWL) of each mooring point or lead should be
known to the berth operating personnel or marked on each mooring point.
Where shore mooring lines are provided, the terminal should have test
certificates for the lines and the berth operating personnel should be
aware of their SWL. (See Chapter 23 for information on ship’s mooring
equipment.)
