SAFETY MANAGEMENT



                              15. The compressor room is properly ventilated, the electrical motor room is
                                  properly pressurised and the alarm system is working.
      ---ใช้เพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น---
                                  Fans should be run for at least 10 minutes before cargo operations commence
                                  and then continuously during cargo operations.

                                  Audible and visual alarms, provided at airlocks associated with
                                  compressor/motor rooms, should be tested regularly.

                              16. Cargo tank relief valves are set correctly and actual relief valve settings are
                                  clearly and visibly displayed.

                                  In cases where cargo tanks are permitted to have more than one relief valve
                                  setting, it should be verified that the relief valve is set as required by the cargo
                                  to be handled and that the actual setting of the relief valve is clearly and visibly
                                  displayed on board the ship. Relief valve settings should be recorded in the
                                  check-list.



                    26.5      Emergency Actions


                              The actions to be taken in the event of an emergency at a terminal should be
                              contained in the terminal’s Emergency Response Plan (see Chapter 20). Particular
                              attention should be given to factors to be taken into consideration when deciding
                              whether or not to remove a ship from the berth in the event of an emergency (see
                                                                          ึ
                              also Section 20.5).


                              26.5.1    Fire or Explosion on a Berth

                                        Action by Ships:
                                        Should a fire or explosion occur on a berth, the ship or ships at the berth
                                        must immediately report the incident to the terminal control room by the
                                        quickest possible method (VHF/UHF, telephone contact, sounding ship’s
                                        siren etc). All cargo, bunkering, deballasting and tank cleaning operations
                                        should be shut down and all cargo arms or hoses should be drained
                                        ready for disconnection.

                                        The ship’s fire-mains should be pressurised and water fog applied in
                                        strategic places. The ship’s engines, steering gear and unmooring
                                        equipment must be brought to a state of immediate readiness. A pilot
                                        ladder should be deployed on the offshore side.

                                        Action by Ships at Other Berths:
                                        On hearing the terminal alarm being sounded or on being otherwise
                                        advised of a fire at the terminal, a ship at a berth not directly involved in
                                        the fire should shut down all cargo, bunkering and ballasting operations.
                                        Fire-fighting systems should be brought to a state of readiness and
                                        engines, steering gear and mooring equipment should be made ready for
                                        immediate use.



                              26.5.2    Fire on a Tanker at a Terminal
                                        Action by Ship’s Personnel:
                                        If a fire breaks out on a tanker while at a terminal, the tanker must raise
                                        the alarm by sounding the recognised alarm signal consisting of a series
                                        of long blasts on the ship’s whistle, each blast being not less than
                                        10 seconds in duration unless the terminal has notified the ship of some
                                        other locally recognised alarm signal. All cargo, bunkering or ballasting
