of the text for such a letter is in Section 26.3.4.

While the Ship/Shore Safety Check-List is based upon cargo handling

operations, it is recommended that the same practice is adopted when
a tanker presents itself at a berth for tank cleaning.

26.3.2 Guidelines for Use

Guidelines for completing the Check-List and to assist in responding to
each individual statement are included in Section 26.4. They have been
produced to assist berth operators and ships’ Masters in their joint use of
the Ship/Shore Safety Check-List.
The Master and all under his command should adhere strictly to these
requirements throughout the ship’s stay alongside. The Terminal
Representative and all shore personnel should do likewise. Each party will
be committed to co-operate fully in the mutual interest of achieving safe
and efficient operations.

Responsibility and accountability for the statements within the Ship/Shore
Safety Check-List are assigned within the document. The acceptance of
responsibility is confirmed by ticking or initialling the appropriate box and
ึ
finally signing the declaration at the end of the Check-List. Once signed,
the Check-List details the minimum basis for safe operations as agreed
through the mutual exchange of critical information.

Some of the Check-List statements are directed to considerations for
which the ship has sole responsibility and accountability, some to
considerations for which the terminal has sole responsibility and
accountability, and there are others which assign joint responsibility and
accountability. Shaded boxes are used to identify statements that
generally would be applicable to only one party, although the ship or
terminal may tick or initial such sections if they so wish.

The assignment of responsibility and accountability does not mean that
the other party is excluded from carrying out checks in order to confirm
compliance. It is intended to ensure clear identification of the party
responsible for initial and continued compliance throughout the ship’s stay
at the terminal.

The Responsible Officer should personally check all considerations lying
within the responsibility of the tanker. Similarly, the Terminal
Representative should personally check all considerations that are the
terminal’s responsibility. In fulfilling these responsibilities, representatives
should assure themselves that the standards of safety on both sides of
the operation are fully acceptable. This can be achieved by means
such as:
Confirming that a competent person has satisfactorily completed the
Check-List.
Sighting appropriate records.
Joint inspection, where deemed appropriate.

For mutual safety, before the start of operations, and from time to time
thereafter, a Terminal Representative and, where appropriate, a
Responsible Officer, should conduct an inspection of the ship to ensure
