INTERNATIONAL SAFETY GUIDE FOR OIL TANKERS AND TERMINALS

24.9.3 Tanker Operations at General Cargo Berths
---ใช้เพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น---
Where tanker operations are conducted at general cargo berths, it is
unlikely that personnel on such berths will be familiar with safety
requirements relating to possible sources of ignition, or that cranes or
other equipment will comply with the requirements for the design and
งานห้องสมุด ศูนย์ฝกพาณิชย์นาวี
installation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas.
Accordingly, it will be necessary for the terminal to take precautions
additional to those set out in this Chapter. Such precautions should
include restricted vehicular access, removable barriers to control access
to the berth, additional fire-fighting equipment and control of sources of
ignition, together with restrictions on the movement of goods and
equipment and the lifting of loads.

24.9.4 Tugs and Other Craft Alongside

The number of craft that come alongside, and the duration of their stay,
should be kept to a minimum. Subject to any port authority regulations,
only authorised craft having the permission of the Responsible Officer
and, where applicable, the Terminal Representative, should be permitted
to come alongside or remain alongside a tanker while it is handling
volatile petroleum or is ballasting tanks containing hydrocarbon vapour.
The Responsible Officer should instruct personnel manning the craft that
ึ
smoking, naked light and cooking appliance regulations must be observed
on the craft. In the event of a breach of the regulations, it will be
necessary to cease operations. (See also Sections 23.3.2 for additional
guidance on tugs lying alongside.)

Terminals should issue appropriate instructions to the operators of
authorised craft on the use of engines and other apparatus and
equipment, so as to avoid sources of ignition when going alongside a
tanker or a jetty. These will include provision of spark arresters for engine
exhausts, where applicable, and instructions on proper fendering.
Terminals should also ask for suitable notices to be posted prominently on
the craft, informing personnel and passengers of the safety precautions
to be observed.
If any unauthorised craft come alongside or secure in a position that may
endanger the operations, they should be reported to the port authority
and, if necessary, operations should cease.
