INTERNATIONAL SAFETY GUIDE FOR OIL TANKERS AND TERMINALS

16.3 Limiting Conditions for Operations

For each berth, terminals should establish weather operating limits defining the
thresholds for stopping cargo transfer, disconnecting cargo (and bunker) hose
connections and removing the ship from the berth, taking into account the SWL of
งานห้องสมุด ศูนย์ฝกพาณิชย์นาวี
the mooring system components and, if appropriate, the operating envelopes of the
loading arms.

Operating limits will normally be based on ambient environmental conditions,
such as:

Wind speed and direction.
Wave height and period.
Speed and direction of the current.
Stopping loading or discharging.ึกษาเท่านั้น---
Swell conditions that may affect operations at the berth.

Electrical storms.
Environmental phenomena, for example river bores or ice movement.
Extremes of temperature that might affect loading or unloading.

The environmental limits should define the thresholds for:
Manoeuvring during arrival and berthing.
ึ

Disconnecting cargo hoses or hard arms.
Summoning tug assistance.
Removing the ship from the berth.

Manoeuvring during unberthing and departure.
Information on environmental limits should be passed to the ship at the pre-cargo
transfer conference and, where applicable, be formally recorded in the Ship/Shore
Safety Check-List (see Sections 26.3 and 26.4). Routine local weather forecasts
received by the terminal should be passed to the ship, and vice versa.

The terminal should, if possible, have its own locally installed anemometer for
measuring wind speeds. Alternatively, other means may be used, for example wind
reports from a reliable local source, such as a nearby airport or a ship.

Equipment for the measurement of other environmental factors should be
considered, as appropriate.

16.4 Ship/Shore Access

16.4.1 General
Means of access between ship and shore are addressed by national
regulation, usually by the port state or by the ship’s flag state (see also
Chapter 6 on Security). Any means of access must meet these regulated
standards and should be correctly rigged by the ship or by the terminal,
as appropriate.

Personnel should use only the designated means of access between the
ship and shore.
