standards of safety on both sides of the operation are fully acceptable.
This can be achieved by means such as:
---ใช้เพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น---
Confirming that a competent person has satisfactorily completed the
Check-List.

Sighting appropriate records.
By joint inspection, where deemed appropriate.

For mutual safety, before the start of operations, and from time to time
thereafter, a barge representative and a ship’s officer should conduct
inspections of the barge and the ship to ensure that their obligations, as
accepted in the Check-List, are being effectively managed.

The Bunkering Safety Check-List contains the following sections:
1. Bunkers to be Transferred
A joint agreement on the quantity and grades of bunkers to be
transferred, together with agreed transfer rates and the maximum line
back pressures.
2. Bunker tanks to be Loaded
An identification of the tanks to be loaded with the aim of ensuring
that there is sufficient space to safely accommodate the bunkers to be
transferred. Space is provided to record each tank’s maximum filling
capacity and the available volume.

3. Checks by Barge Prior to Berthing
This section provides the checks to be carried out before the barge
goes alongside the ship.
4. Checks Prior to Transfer
This section provides the checks to be jointly undertaken before
transfer activities commence.

The numbers in brackets after each of the questions in Sections 3 and 4
relate to the guidance notes for completing the Ship/Shore Safety
Check-List in Section 26.4, which should be referred to for additional
information.

The safety of operations requires that all relevant statements are
considered and the associated responsibility and accountability for
compliance accepted. Where either party is not prepared to accept an
assigned accountability, a comment must be made in the Remarks
column and due consideration given to whether operations should
proceed.

Where an item is agreed not to be applicable to the ship, to the barge or
to the operation envisaged, a note to that effect should be entered in the
‘Remarks’ column.

The presence of the letters ‘A’ or ‘R’ in the Code column indicates the
following:
A (‘Agreement’). This indicates an agreement or procedure that should
be identified in the Check-List or communicated in some other
mutually acceptable form.
R (‘Re-check’). This indicates items to be re-checked at appropriate
intervals, as agreed between both parties and stated in the
declaration.

The joint declaration should not be signed until all parties have checked
and accepted their assigned responsibilities and accountabilities.
