Harbour master’s written instructions for the handling of

Flammable liquid containers ........

The Harbour Master's Written Instructions apply to tankers conveying, discharging or shipping flammable liquids in bulk, and to vessels handling containers that hold or held flammable liquids.

Compliance with industry guidelines is mandatory, including the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals, Marine Terminals Baseline Criteria, Liquified Gas Handling Principles, Ship/Shore Interface Safe Working Practice for LPG and Liquified Chemical Gas Cargoes, Guidelines for Handling, Storage, Inspection and Testing of Hoses in the Field, and the CDI Scheme for chemical carriers.

Berthing and mooring:

• A telephone and VHF radio link with port control must be established on berthing.
• Tankers must not lie within 30 metres of any other vessel without the Harbour Master's express direction.
• Moorings must be readily cut or slipped from both ship and shore in an emergency.
• Wire towing pendants must be rigged at all times and ranged out through bow and stern on the offshore side.
• If insulation is required, all moorings must have fibre tails at least two metres long and 25% stronger than the wire ropes.

After berthing:

• Main engines, steering gear and deck machinery may not be immobilised without permission.
• The tanker must be sufficiently manned for any emergency.
• Fire-fighting personnel must be in attendance whenever a berthed tanker carries flammable liquid with a flashpoint below 61°C, or is in ballast and not gas-free.
• The Harbour Master may order removal of a tanker with flammable liquids on board.

Hoses:

• Hoses must be flexible enough for ship movement; connections must be tight with oil-tight gaskets and all bolts secured.
• Bulging or percolating hose sections must be replaced immediately.
• Hoses must be supported above deck level, with drip pans under joints and constant supervision during pumping.

Cargo handling:

• No loading or discharge after sunset unless deck lighting satisfies the Harbour Master.
• Before operations, scuppers must be plugged and sea valves and overboard discharges closed and lashed.
• Manifold and shore valves stay closed until hoses are connected, cargo valves set, and safety precautions met.
• Pumping pressure must be increased gradually; no oil or ballast may be discharged into sea or quayside.
• Tanks must be secured immediately after emptying; lids open only when gas-free.

Stopping pumping or ballasting:

• The Harbour Master may order a stop for spillage beyond minor drip, repairs needed, lighting failure, approaching electric storm, undue vapour concentration, or any unsafe condition.
• Pumping may resume only with the Harbour Master's permission.

Stores and equipment:

• Handling of stores must be completed before any tank is opened.
• Voyage stores may be loaded during cargo handling only if carried by hand or placed on the after-deck away from manifolds.

Repairs:

• A tanker that has conveyed flammable liquids may not enter a repair quay unless certified gas-free by a certified chemist.
• Repairs in port require a gas-free certificate or inert tanks, Harbour Master permission, and compliance with his conditions.
• Daily gas-free certificates may be required; work may be suspended if vapour risk arises.
• Minor repairs may be permitted with conditions: daily gas-free certificates for the tank and adjoining spaces, warning signs ("Danger" white on red, "Gas-free" black on white), and approval of electrical equipment.
• Engine room repairs other than minor routine maintenance require Harbour Master approval.
• If not gas-free, immobilisation may be permitted at a berth outside the security area only before breaking cargo or after discharge, with all openings except the gas-line vent closed.
• Until gas-free, no ignition sources near the tank; entry requires self-contained breathing apparatus, safety belt with lifeline tended by two persons, and constant sight of one attendant.
• No portable electronic devices unless certified intrinsically safe; no entry to prohibited areas without a permit.
• Cargo deck doors and ports must stay closed during cargo or ballast operations.

General safety:

• Tanks may be opened only when berthed or at anchor.
• Displaced gases must be vented up the mast or gas line extremity.
• Flammable liquids in bulk may be handled only at designated places.
• No flammable liquid or oil-contaminated water may be discharged into the port; clean ballast discharge before back loading needs permission.
• No fire-risk work on a tanker or in a prohibited area without Harbour Master permission.

Handling flammable liquid containers:

• Containers must be discharged or loaded directly to or from trucks or semi-trailers, unless the Harbour Master allows stacking in a demarcated open space.
• A flammable gas intensity detector must be provided by the vessel and used by a contracted fire fighter before and at half-hourly intervals during handling.
• If dangerous gas is detected, operations cease, the hold is evacuated and ventilated, and work resumes only when certified gas-free.
• No handling during electrical storms.
• Only certified ISO containers may be handled.
• Damaged containers require Harbour Master approval.
• No more than 25 kilolitres of flammable liquids may be stacked in a port without permission.
• Repair work in holds or adjacent areas requires Harbour Master permission.
• When flammable liquids in transit are stowed in a hold being worked for other cargo, no smoking or repairs, and fire fighters with gas detectors must be in attendance.
