Port State Control
SOLAS 74, Loadline 66, MARPOL 73/78,

STCW 78/95 provide for control procedures on
ships calling at foreign ports.
Role extended to cover operational requirements

because some flag States failed to discharge
their responsibilities.
Port states required to inspect 25°/o of all ships

calling at their ports.(50°/o in Asia/Pacific Region)
Paris MOU uses Targeting system. --
Classification Societies
Ensure ships are -
• built to adequate strength

• maintained to meet Class Rules
• seaworthy

The Increasing Risk

'
• 1980's - big reduction in Oil Co. owned

vessels
• Reduced knowledge as to quality
• Lack of confidence in Statutory Authorities
• Increased utilisation of Ship Management
Companies
• Increased used of third party vessels ...
until 1989 ...

7. Risk Management
• Why is it undertaken?
• What is Risk Management?
• How is it conducted?
Reasons to go for quality?

• Public opinion/political pressure
• Financial liability
• Commercial reality
• Incidence of tanker casualties
• Reduced knowledge of actual vessel
condition
• Lack of confidence in official policing
OCIMF
15
07/03/2013
How the Risk is Evaluated
• Risk Assessment Teams (Vetting Dept)
• Automated Computer Systems
How the Oil Majors vet

Chevron • All oil majors have their own quality assurance
QJ schemes
• Schemes vary due to company size, scope &
diversity of activities, attitude to marine risk
bp
and use of real time information and the
quality of analysis. Some use 3rd party vetting.
E'5(onMobil • All companies input/extract factual ship
inspection reports (SIRE) from Oil Companies
International Maritime Forum (OCIMF)
database
TOTAL
• Determination of vessel utilisation is solely at
each company's discretion.
• Liability concerns dictate how individual
companies approach the vetting issue
• Increasing use of auto-vetting

8. SIRE Principles
• Why SIRE was introduced
• How it works
• Sharing of Reports
• What users of the SIRE Reports need
•The Inspection Reports

OCIMF
19
07/03/2013
The evolution of SIRE

• Oil Co. Inspections started in early 70's
• Individual Company schemes grew

towards the late 1980's
• Some duplication of inspections occurred

placing burden on ship's staff
• Huge increase in inspections after OPA

90 ~
The need to share reports

Major concerns:
• Duplication of efforts,
• Inability to inspect all ships of interest
• Burden on ships' crew
• In 1991, OCIMF members agreed that a

scheme for sharing reports was necessary
• SIRE was introduced in November 1~3
20
07/03/2013
SIRE Operating Principles
• SIRE is a database of ship inspection reports
• Reports address operational safety and pollution

prevention issues only
• No indication of pass, fail, rating or other

assessment of ship acceptability is provided
• Selection of vessels to be inspected agreed

between Oil Company and Operator
SIRE Operating Principles (2)
• Reports are submitted to SIRE on a

voluntary basis by OCIMF Members
• Ship operator can make two sets of

comments relating to each report and
submit these to SIRE, including the
uploading of documents and photographs.
• Comments then become part of th~

~port OOMF
21
07/03/2013
SIRE Objectives
• Make quality inspection re

available
• Re he inspection burden on Operators

and crews
Who can access SIRE?
Access to reports is available to:
• OCIMF Members
• Bulk oil terminal operators
•Tanker charterers and oil traders
• Government bodies e.g. port and flag
States
22
07/03/2013
Who can Submit reports?
Reports can be submitted by:
• OCIMF Members
• Certain companies who share OCIMF's
aspirations
• Invited Chemical Companies
The SIRE Components
• Uniform inspection protocols for all vessels are

provided by Vessel Inspection and Barge
Questionnaires (VIQs and BIQs)
• The reports are delivered in standard format
• Vessel particulars, certification and on-board

inventory details are provided by Vessel
Particulars Questionnaires (VPQs) and Barge
Particulars Questionnaires (BPQs)
• All SIRE Components are electronic _

11. The uniform inspection procedure
For legal reasons, when SIRE was

introduced in 1993, there was intentionally,
no single agreed reporting format.
A decision was made in 1996 to discontinue

the multiple reporting formats then in use, in
favour of a single uniform report
The Uniform Inspection Procedure
The Revised SIRE Programme was first

introduced in Jan 1998
It provided:
1. A uniform inspection questionnaire

2. A delivered report in a uniform format
3. A uniform VPQ
It has been updated twice since then
1
07/03/2013
The SIRE Foundation Stone
The SIRE Programme

Policy rests on a single statement.
Submitting Members are committed

to provide VIQs containing Qll the
information required by Qll other
submitting Members
OCIMF
The Experiences of the SIRE Programme
Report Recipients were often

(and are still, sometimes) unable to
make an informed decision as to the
acceptability of the vessel.
Why ... ?
Reports do not contain sufficient information
and/or the specific questions in the VIQ
have not been answered
2
07/03/2013
Delivering Uniform Reports
• All the questions must be answered to fully meet

the requirements of the question.
• All questions requiring mandatory comments

(indicated by yellow highlights) must provide the
requested information.
• All questions must be addressed with equal

emphasis.
OCIMF
Inspecting to a Standard Procedure
The inspection must not be limited only to

those priorities which concern the
OCIMF Member who
commissioned the inspection.
You must take into account, all of the

questions and inspector guidance that
is contained in the VIQ
OCIMF
3
07/03/2013
Delivering a uniform report
A uniformity in the delivered report requires the

inspector to:
1. Understand the VIQ questions;
2. Answer the questions correctly; and
3. Address the requirements of ALL OCIMF

Members.
The VIQ Cornerstones
• SOLAS
• Fire Safety Systems Code

Inspector Knowledge
To act with confidence on board and to

gain respect from the ship's staff ...
... you MUST be very familiar with

these Conventions and Industry
Guidelines.
The Role of the Inspection Report
The report must contain

accurate information
relating to a vessel's appearance,
its equipment and the operational
practices observed during the
course of the inspection.
The correct decision as to vessel

acceptability is critically dependent on

The Importance of the SIRE report
• Your inspection report may be accessed many

times by SIRE Recipients during its 24 month life
in the data base
• SI RE Recipients insist that your report is

accurate and complete
• The consequences of wrong chartering

decision can be enormous
12. Putting on the Vetter's Hat
Oil Company vetting departments make decisions

relating to use of hundreds of vessels many times
every day. SIRE reports are at the heart of these
decisions.
This exercise puts you in the position of the vetter
You can assume that all of the other checks are

positive and shipper's and receivers approvals have
been made.
Review this report to determine whether you would

recommend use of the vessel. __

Loose oil build up at No 3 generator end and underneath alternator

The oil build-up was underneath the flywheel of the generator. The oil
Was lubricating oil from the crankshaft. The leak was due to the
pressurisation of the crankcase. However, the leak was very minor and
since cleaning under the flywheel is not possible when it is running, the
generator was stopped and cleaned on the 3rd of October 2009.
Operators would like to mention that the area around the auxiliary
engines are fitted with coamings to contain any spillage. The
surrounding areas are regularly cleaned to ensure cleaniness. -=======.....

Entry to the ballast pumproom can only be undertaken after testing of the atmosphere as

5.7 6 Ale accommodation ladders, gangways, pilot ladders and pilot hoists,
where fitted, in good order?
Inspector Observations: The ship 's portable gangway was constructed from two
sections that were bolted together in the middle of the gangway.
The treads had horizontal ribs on one side to provide grip during use .
The manufacturers had fitted the treads on the upper section with the ribbed
side on what would be the lower side of the tread when the gang was in use,
i.e . the wrong way round.
Initial Operator Comments: This was a very well spotted observation that had
escaped the attention of the ship's staff, office personnel and previous
inspectors alike. The gangway, which was not in use for this calling, has since
been separated and the lower section turned over and connected up again.
The gangway is now correctly rigged as intended.

valve provided wlh a notice warring against accidental openlnQ?

The Emergency Biige Suction, and each bilge suction valve from the two{2) fire and general
service p1.mps are fitted with smal easly breakable wire seals. However, each of these 3
valves are also secondarily sealed with a plastic seal typically used to wrap electrical wires
together (Cable tle wraps). These plastic seals are approximately lOmm In width, and
would require snips or a knife to break them . Such a sea Ing arrangement would
serbusly hinder emergency operations of these valves. OCIMF recommends that any
seali1g arrangement be •easily breakable . During this Inspection, the Chief Engineer
decided to cl.L off the secondary heavy plast:Jc seals.
1he emergency bige pumping arrangement is wel marked and kept ready for immediate
use. The valves are secured by plastic ties, which are easily breakable. The secondary

All the loose items In the Air Condition Room have been re-located. Vessel had carried
out maintenance of the AC system recently and some spares were left inadvertently
which have now been squared up. ASafety Meeting was called by the master and the
Importance of proper house keeping and dangers of having spares and other lose items

Inspectors Comments
• A SIRE inspection was conducted about 3 months before the
incident
• Ship was Japanese built in the early 1990's with large contents
of high tensile steel.
• Ship had had a history of cracks
• Inspectors Observation:-
"The vessel was found to be in very good structural condition and

has a CAP 1 rating for hull, Machinery and Cargo Systems".
• One Water Ballast tank was inspected from deck level.
• (Ship did have a grounding incident about a month before

incident)

Preparation for the big day
• Find out as much as you can about the vessel
• Download the VPQ from the SIRE database
• Check-out Equasis/USCG/Tokyo MOU for PSC

reports
• Have all your PPE, and paper VIQ ready
• Know what the 'Red' items in the Appraisal mean
Planning (1)
• Contact the agent as soon as you are appointed

and receive the agent's details.
• Contact the agent frequently for updates of ETA

and berthing prospects.
• Inform the auditor immediately after you contact

the agent and frequently keep the auditor
updated re vessel's prospects.
• Prepare all your PPE, torch, Blank VIQ, pens etc.
• Wear PPE from time you enter terminal
21
07/03/2013
Planning (2)
• Remember that you are responsible for

planning/arranging the inspection.
• Meet with the auditor in advance of boarding.

Dinner the previous night or breakfast before
boarding if possible will assist to put you at ease
• Be sure that the Auditor briefs you as to what he is

looking for and what his role is.
On board (1)
• You need to manage and be in control.

The auditor will expect you to lead the
pre-inspection meeting and manage the
interface with ship's staff with
confidence.
• Be sensitive to the needs of the ship's
staff, adjust the order of inspection if
necessary
22
07/03/2013
On board (2)
Remember:
• The audit commenced at the planning stage - you
have already started to form impressions with
auditor.
• Immediately point out any observations to the
Auditor as you are seeing them.
• Commence the inspection prior to boarding. (Hull
condition, Moorings, oil streaks, open ports,
gangway, etc)
• Record your observations in your pocket book.
• Remember to switch off your phone!
OCIMF
Your relationship with the Auditor
The auditor will not:-

Prompt or point out deficiencies
Interfere with your questioning.
Auditor will:-
Take notes (Don't assume this is a good
or a bad thing)
Examine paperwork such as ORB when
this doesn't interfere with you.
OCIMF
23
07/03/2013
Your relationship with the Auditor
• Be yourself!! Try to relax.
• Try to set a good pace, neither too slow nor too

fast. i.e. fast enough to get around within the 8-10
hour period, but not so fast that things are missed.
• Remember to discuss items found with ship's staff

at the time. Do not wait until the end.
• Stay calm for the close-out meeting with ship's

staff.
The Audit Close-out
• The auditor will normally give some indication at the

end of the inspection as to how the audit has gone,
but will not tell you at this stage whether you have
passed or failed.
• You should get your inspection report to the auditor in

a timely manner.
• The auditor should get his audit report to you in a

timely manner.
• The auditor will provide you with the results of the audit
after reviewing your report --

Some examples of inspector observations
- The vessel maintained work rest logs as

required.
However, when the current month's log
(May '08) was checked in the computer it
was noted that the entire month for both
deck and engine departments had
already been filled out.
The inspection was conducted 11 of May.
- The engine oil record book showed that

the vessel conducted bunkering
operations on 2 of Jan between 0100 and
1000.
The Chief Engineer and 2nd Engineer's
Hours of Rest logs were reviewed and
both were shown to have been working a
normal day ( 0800-1700) on 2 Jan. The
vessel operated UMS at sea and manned
in port. --
52
07/03/2013
- The crew's Hours of Rest logs were

reviewed and found not to agree with
COW operations and Bunkering
operations recorded in ORB. On the 5 & 6
of Nov the ORB showed that the vessel
was crude oil washing between 5/2200 to
6/0300. However, during these periods, in
the Hours of Rest logs both the Chief Mate
and Pumpman's Hours of Rest Logs
showed both were resting

Assuming this equipment

was from the same ship
during an inspection - any
observations
[ • Power setting as per ISGOTI 4.8.4 .
• Check printer data or internal memory for continuous operation

during entry.
• Scale appropriate for the depths - evidence of monitoring, eg
changing scale as depths change.
•Test run - displayed depths comparable with charted depth?
Clear legible trace?
• Depth alarm set to provide warning of unexpected UKC
redu c tion?
• Where no printer connected - is VDR or SVDR installed?
• Is there evidence of use (weather maps)? Maps legible?
60
07/03/2013
Any observation
• Data clearly legible on screen/printer.

• Correct message types and receiving stations for the area
selected.
•If unit switched off- ask crew to demonstrate recovery of
messages received since power off.
•New ships >=150 GRT constructed on or after 01 Jul 2011.

• Existing ships

• When should it be used?

• If fitted, the BNWAS should be active when the ship is underway
(SOLAS) sea?
• Are timing device/system activation switches provided with an
arrangement to prevent unauthorised adjustment? (Keys;
password protection; location of on/off switch) .
• Rudder angle & rate of turn indicators, speed log, wind speed &
direction indicators, etc.
• TIP! Visualise what you expect to see before looking at any
equipment- if the display does not meet with
expectations .. ..ask questions to establish why?
Under Keel Clearance
•Document Company UKC Policy in the report.

• Does the UKC calculation(s) clearly establish the controlling
depth(s) and was the correct controlling depth used?
• Was the calculation valid for the actual time and speed of
transit over the controlling depth (use plotted positions to
verify actual speed over the ground).
• Any limitations imposed - time of transit, speed of transit -
effectively brought to the attention of bridge team
members including the pilot.
• Common observations: Wrong controlling depth used;
calculations only use high water when passage not at high
water; speed used for squat too low.
62
07/03/2013
Passage Planning
• Refer to Guidance Notes in VIQ. Be practical when assessing

- if a deficiency is raised , clearly document the error or
omission, preferably with industry guidance reference .
• Review the plan & voyage charts - particular attention to
transit of areas where high traffic density, close to hazards,
etc.
• Position fixing frequency and methods established? Is
position fixing increased on approach to navigational
hazard? General rule: distance between charted fixes
should not exceed the distance to the nearest danger.
Passage Planning
•Parallel indexing used where beneficial to navigation. Floating

marks avoided but if used positions verified.
• No go areas established. Company policy stipulates minimum
UKC - highlight isolated areas close to the track where this
cannot be met. Were highlighted areas relevant for the draft,
state of tide, etc. and not falsely indicating a restriction in
manoeuvring room .
• Charts used largest scale? Berth to berth p lanning?
• Contingency planning- emergency anchorages; abort
points.
• Publications updated (Radio Signals, Light Lists, Pilot Books).
• Charts corrected .
• Plan signed by Bridge Team members verifying cross checks .
OCIMF
63
07/03/2013
Bridge Procedures and verification techniques.
• Establish latest NTM applied to all charts.

• Request a list of charts used last passage, latest cumulative
list of NTM, chart correction log/cards & latest corrected
weeklyNTM.
• Use chart correction records and weekly NTM to identify
voyage charts affected by the notice.
• Use cumulative list to check all small correction numbers
marked on charts (historical check).
• Use latest NTM to verify last correction actually plotted on
chart & quality of correction (contemporary check).
• Two or more charts checked this way for random verification;
any deficiencies recorded.
64

ECDIS
• Electronic Chart Data Information System (ECDIS) is defined as
a navigation information system which, with adequate back
up arrangements, can be accepted as complying with SOLAS
requirements for up to date charts. An ECDIS comprises
hardware, software & arrangements for updating.
• IMO requires ECDIS conforms to Performance Standards (IEC
6117 4) & complies with IHO standards (S-57, S-52, S-63) on the
presentation, transfer & protection of data.
- S-52 Specifications for Chart Content and Display Aspects of
ECDIS (chart symbols, etc.)
- S-57 IHO Transfer Standard for Digital Hydrographic Data.
- S-63 IHO Data Protection Scheme for ECDIS and encryption.
• An updated list of the current editions of the IHO standards
can be found in the "About ENC's" section of IHO website
www.iho.int
OCIMF
ECDIS
• Electronic Chart System (ECS) is a term used by IMO to

describe similar navigation information systems which do not
meet regulations. An ECS may run ENC or RNC or "private
charts" but cannot be the primary means of navigation -
paper charts must be used.
• Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) - sometimes referred to as
a Vector Chart - is an intelligent, multi layered chart satisfying
the standards of IHO. Referenced to WGS84; based on reliable
Hydrographic Office data; compiled & coded to international
standards; regularly updated with official update information
and distributed digitally.
OCIMF

07/03/2013
ECDIS
• Raster Navigational Chart (RNC) - produced by converting a

paper chart to digital image by scanner. An ECDIS may
operate in Raster Chart Display Mode (RCDS) but, because it
does not have the full functionality of ECDIS, must be used
with fully corrected paper charts.
• Only a type-approved ECDIS operating with fully updated
ENC's and with appropriate back-up may be used to replace
all paper charts on board a vessel.

ECDIS Training
• Flag State requirements vary; check individual requirements
(Seamanship library useful). Training described as "Generic"
and Type or Ship "Specific".
ECDIS - Generic Training

• IMO Model ECDIS Course (1.27). Shore based and covers the
17 Chapters of the IMO Model. 40 hours duration. May be a
combined CBT & shore based course.
• Certification issued by a government or issuer government
approved.
• Record an observation if no generic training provided or
training clearly does not meet flag State requirements. In
other cases indicate the issuing body, whether IMO Model
course referenced & duration of training in Other Comments.
OCIMF
ECDIS
ECDIS Type Specific
• No clearly defined model or requirements; provided by or in

conjunction with the ECDIS equipment manufacturer.
• If no evidence of type specific training record an
observation.
• Describe any type specific training provided including
whether shore based, ship based or a combination of both;
the duration of training; who provided the training and , if not
a manufacturers representative, qualification held by the
trainer.
• Be factual - no opinions as to whether individual inspectors
consider it satisfactory .... remember there are no clearly
established rules!!

ECDIS - Features
•A number of settings related to the charted depth are applied on

the ECDIS: the safety contour, the safety depth and the shallow and
deep contours.
•The safety contour provides a visible boundary between "safe" and
"unsafe" water with respect to depth, and is highlighted on the
display to enable easy identification. It is selected by the navigator
to reflect a ship's draught, adjusted for the required under keel
clearance and for the height of tide, if required. Depth contours on
an ENC are normally only drawn at specific intervals (eg. 0, 2, 5, l 0,
15, 20, 30 meters), the system automatically uses the deeper contour
when the selected safety contour depth lies between contours.
•The safety depth applies to spot soundings, the depth of which is
insufficient for a vessel to safely pass over. Spot soundings less than
the safety depth are displayed in bold type to provide a more
accurate representation of a vessel's 'no-go' line than the safety
contour.
ECDIS - Features
•The shallow and deep contours are utilised when the multi-colour
depth display is selected. Typically, the deep contour is normally set
at twice a vessel's draught to indicate when squat is likely to be
experienced. The area between the Om contour and the shallow
contour is coloured dark blue, the area between the shallow and
safety contour is coloured light blue, and the area between the
safety contour and the deep contour is coloured grey. This allows the
gradient of the seabed to be graphically displayed. All of the area
between the Om contour and the safety contour is also hatched.
OCIMF

07/03/2013
ECDIS - Features
•When route planning, the ECDIS calculates chart alarms using user
defined off track or channel limits for the route selected. Danger
areas within the channel limits are shaded red if the safety contour or
selected danger areas are crossed.
• Once a plan has been completed, it can be verified by running the
route and this helps the user to identify legs of a plan where the
safety contour has been crossed and where defined danger areas
are located. These will be highlighted to the user and the route
should be adjusted as necessary or a risk assessment carried out. A
plan does not have to be free of warnings or alarms to allow it to be
saved and monitored.
ECDIS - Features
• Route monitoring is divided into two categories: monitored route,

and predicted movement.
• In route monitoring, an audible alarm activates to warn the user
when a vessel moves outside the channel limits and when nearing a
waypoint.
•In predicted movement, an audible alarm sounds when a ship is
going to cross the safety contour set on the display. To enable this
alarm, a "watch vector" (time and angle) or "safety frame" (time
and clearing distance) or "Anti Grounding Cone" must be defined
by the user. If the predictive movement alarms are not set they will
not activate. If values are too low. inadequate warning of impending
danger will be provided .
• Some ECDIS units identify an un-checked plan by displaying the
name of the plan in red. The plan must be reviewed before
execution with the aim of eliminating these incursions where possible
or risk assessing & highlighting where this is not possible. _ __

ECDIS Updates & Correction

• It is doubtful inspectors will have extensive type specific
knowledge of all ECDIS units available. Use established
inspection techniques to assess ship staff familiarity with
equipment.
• Ask for an explanation of how chart updates are received ,
frequency of receipt and how they are applied .
• Request ship staff display the latest corrections applied to
charts.
• Ascertain how T&P Notices and Navigation Warnings are
applied. Check latest warnings are actually present on
charts. Focus on T&P's as there is an unhealthy reliance on
automatic updating. It is recommended these are manually
checked to ensure updates are present.
OCIMF
ECDIS
Company Guidance on use of ECDIS
• Comprehensive guidance on the benefits, limitations and use

of ECDIS should be contained in the SQEMS manuals.
• Procedures should cover incidents such as equipment or
power failure in a clear & user friendly format.
• Required training and familiarisation procedures
documented.
• Chart updating & correction procedures.
• Use and setting of alarms and safety parameters.

ECDIS - Interesting Others
• As of 2011 there were 32 approved ECDIS manufacturers and

the market is set to expand.
• Cost of ECDIS units varies from $20k to $250k. There is an old
saying "you get what you pay for".
• During navigation the displayed area on an ECDIS chart is
typically 1/2Qth of the area displayed on a paper chart.
• Introduction of ECDIS is likened to the introduction of radar,
probably the largest single change in decades.
• An industry IT expert comment when asked about ECDIS
implementation ....... "a computer lets you make more
mistakes faster than any invention in human history" ....
ECDIS
ECDIS - Suggested Checks
• Review the previous passage with particular focus on critical

stages of the voyage such as when in close proximity to
navigational hazards and high density traffic.
• Were positions regularly cross checked using an independent
means or was there an over-reliance on GPS. Look for
manually plotted fixes to verify; recording positions in a log is
not considered equivalent to manual plotting - any
difference between fixing methods is not apparent unless
plotted together!
• Remember - a passage plan produced on ECDIS should be
equivalent to and contain all the features expected of one
planned on paper charts.
76
07/03/2013
ECDIS
ECDIS Suggested Checks
• Ask officer to demonstrate the latest corrections applied on

the ECDIS display.
• Load last voyage and ask officer to perform a route
monitoring check. How many alarms appear? Check through
any alarms to see what they are - is there evidence ship staff
have properly performed a route monitoring check and
eliminated alarms by adjusting the route? Where alarms exist
- have these been properly risk assessed?
• Ascertain if Zones of Confidence are included as part of the
pre-sailing checks - ask officer to display these.
ECDIS
ECDIS Suggested Checks
• Ask officer to show settings of safety depth & safety contour.

How were these values arrived at? Is clear guidance
provided from the ship manager?
• Request display of predictive movement settings. Were these
set to provide adequate warning of impending danger
taking into consideration the vessel speed? Were the settings
changed during the passage and how were changes
implemented?

Hydrogen Sulphide H2 S
H2 S has poor warning properties

At low concentrations of .005 ppm it
smells of rotten eggs, changing to a
sickly sweet odour as the concentration
increases. At high levels there is no
odour at all.
H2 S has a paralysing effect on the
olfactory nerve and rapidly deadens the
sense of smell.

Toxic Hazards - Hydrogen Sulphide

Hydrogen Sulphide is a highly
toxic and colourless gas that
belongs to to the inorganic
sulphide family. It consists of 2
hydrogen atoms and one
sulphur atom.
Colour -Colourless gas
Odour -Pungent odour of rotting eggs
Vapour Density -Heavier than air (1.19)

Flammable Range - 4 .3% - 46% o--clMF
Personal Protection
• Be Alert to the Danger
• What is the cargo?
• Is it likely to contain H2S
• Use of personal gas detectors
recommended
• Smell H2S? Stop. Think. Are you in
danger?
• Be wind conscious - moving upwind by
just one meter from a point of gas

Hydrocarbons
For any particular cargo the actual
flammable limit will be dependent on the
hydrocarbon components of the
petroleum itself.
Although the flammable range of all the

hydrocarbon gases is relatively small,
there are three important points to bear
in mind.
i. An Over-rich mixture will pass into the flammable

range if mixed with air. This can happen when air
is allowed to enter a tank, or when Over-rich gas
is vented from the tank to the atmosphere.
ii. A Too Lean mixture may pass into the flammable

zone as any residues left in the tank give off gas
e.g. when agitated by a cleaning jet.
iii. A Too Lean mixture will be toxic until air mixing

produces a gas concentration which is less than
500 parts of gas per 1,000,000 parts by volume
(ppm), i.e. until the gas concentration is less than
4°/o LFL. ( The atmosphere may still be toxic from
other substances than hydrocarbons)

Versatile gas measuring

instruments
Multi gas detection instruments
can measure up to 5 different
gases.
They can be used for personal

or area monitoring of ambient
air to detect toxic and explosive
gases as well as oxygen
deficiency or enrichment.
They may be fitted with infrared

or catalytic sensors
Toxic Gases - Pumps

and Tubes
Over 190 short term tubes
are available for detection of
over 430 different gases
The use of tubes and
associated sampling pump is
widely used for measurement
of personal exposure,
~--~- ~---- checking for leaks, spot
measurements and tests
before entering into or

14
10/08/2012
The use of tubes is gradually

being superseded by portable
Chip Measurement Systems
for gas and vapour spot
measurements. The system
consists of two components:
a substance-specific chip and
an analyser.
• No calibration required
• Minimal training
• Intrinsically safe
• Improved accuracy over

The use of mobile phones on the open deck is
prohibited. All visitors & contractors to the vessel
must be made fully aware.
Only flash lights (torches) which have been
approved by an authority for use in flammable
atmospheres may be used onboard tankers. Torch
Batteries must be basic Zinc Carbon (Not long-life or

Precautions when using Wilden pumps
Wilden model T2 metal was transferring oil at shore installation.

Spark occurred from pump arcing across the plastic air
exhaust p/p housing. The pump was sitting on concrete and
not earthed.
Section 3 page 3 of the manufacturer's Operation and Maintenance
manual states :
"Prevention of static sparking - If static sparking occurs, fire or
explosion could result. Pump, valves and containers must be
properly grounded when handling flammable liquids and
whenever discharge of static electricity is a hazard."
Special care must be taken to ensure that portable pumps used for
transfer of petroleum liquids are properly grounded .
Connect a grounding wire from the pump to a bare metallic
point on the structure of the ship. The pump is not grounded
adequately when sited on the steel deck.

Tankc/eaning Standards
• "Water White" - tanks clean, dry & odour free.

• "Wallwash" (Cargo quality sensitive to the presence of
chlorides; hydrocarbons; impurities - permanganate
time test; colour; odour; etc.).
•!• Solvent (usually methanol) sprayed onto (dry) cargo
tank bulkhead and allowed to run down at least 1
meter. An adapted funnel is used to collect sample into
a bottle for analysis.

Wal/wash
CCR - Chemical Lab.

Wal/wash
• Chloride test: Methanol sample mixed with drops of 10%
silver nitrate solution - turbidity (cloudiness) of the
mixture indicates chloride content.
• Hydrocarbon test: Methanol sample mixed with deionised
water - turbidity indicates hydrocarbons present.
• Permanganate time test: Potassium permanganate solution
(2ml) added to methanol sample (SO ml). Colour changes
from a vivid purple to pale pink over time. The time taken
for the change is a measure of the impurities present.
Under purest conditions time= 120 mins.
• Colour comparison: Methanol sample compared with
colour standards against a white background

Care of Stainless Steel - Pickling & Passivation
• Stainless steel is an alloy and its properties vary dependent

on its constituent make-up. The chromium component
combines with oxygen to produce an extremely fine
impenetrable film of chromium oxide, this protects the
underlying material and gives its "stainless" quality. The
surface has a white matt appearance and is said to be
"passive".
• During construction or repair (welding, heat, grinding) and
after contact with certain chemicals, this passive layer may
become damaged. The surface becomes "active" &
corrosion can take place, sometimes rapidly.
OCIMF
CCR
• Pickling is the term used for stripping off the contaminated

oxide layer via etching, a very thin layer of surface metal is
removed in the process. A gel or paste containing nitric &
hydroflouric acids is applied to the affected surface and
rinsed off.
• Acid assisted Passivation is where the chromium oxide
layer is removed by nitric acid and then rinsed. No metal is
removed in the process.
• In either case, when stainless steel is exposed to air
(oxygen) it passivates spontaneously.
OCIMF
41
13/12/2011
• Passivation may be carried out by ship's crew if proper

equipment & procedures are provided.
• Specialist contractors employed.
• The condition of stainless steel can be assessed visually

• Compatibility: Group 5 not compatible with group 20 or 21. Therefore

Caustic not next to Phenol or Methanol.
• Ship Type: Acrylonitrile & Phenol are Ship Type 2 so require centre
tank stowage. Caustic requires SS from charterer so must also stow
centre tank. Due incompatibility issues the Phenol must be segregated
by cofferdam so stows 9C.
• Heat Issues: SN 500 must be heated to discharge temp of 46C for
Houston so must stow next to Phenol - no other cargoes can take this
heat adjacent. The Phenol density at 60C is 1.0295 so max quantity is
1235 mt. The SN 500 density at 46C is 0.8564 and combined space
available is 1093 m3 so max quantity 936 mt.
• Options: The MTBE quantity is 475 mt and must allow 5% extra as the
option is charterers. Quantity to allow for is 499 mt which at density
0.74 (allowing for ambient temp in USG) needs 672 m3 . Must go 7P. The
Methanol density at ambient temp in US is 0.779 and only tank capable
ofretaining the booked quantity is 7S with capacity 625 m3, therefore
load max 486 mt.
47
13/12/2011
• The caustic cannot stow next to the methanol so must go 8C.

• Caustic density at 25C is 1.5332 and tank capacity is 1150 m3 so max
quantity is 1763 mt, max quantity booked is 1650 mt+- 5% which is
1732.5 mt
• Acrylonitrile density at ambient (25C) is 0.7889. Therefore max load in
7C is 986 mt
• The Voranol quantity of 950 + 5% charterers option requires space for
997.5 mt. Density at discharge temp 38C is 1.0125, capacity of 8P & 8S
is 1130 m3. Load 507 mt in 8P and 490 mt in 8S for equal percentage

Cascade Direct Reliquefaction System
• Used for fully refrigerated cargoes where a refrigerant

R22 (R404) is used to obtain lower carriage temps.
Not so affected by sea water temps.
• Single stage direct where R22 (R404) replaces sea
water in the condensor. The refrigerant is also a single
stage direct process with sea water as the condensing
medium. Hence the term "Cascade".

LNG Reliquefaction Plant - Concept
• Q-flex & Q-max generation of LNG carriers installed

with shipboard reliquefaction plants and a Gas
Combustion Unit (GCU).
• Ship design aimed at lowering emissions and increased
outturn efficiency.
• Nominal boil of rate for this class of vessel is 0.14% per
day for pure methane; higher with increased nitrogen
composition. Immediately after loading boil off rates
may increase to 150% of normal rate whilst the
insulation cools down and, on passage, are affected by
external factors such as weather, sea state, etc.
35
13/12/2011
LNG Reliquefaction Plant - Design Criteria
);-- Reliquefaction system capable of coping with natural

boil off plus flash gas generated when returning
reliquefied LNG to cargo tanks.
);-- All rotating machinery 100% redundancy.
~ GCU provides full back-up capable of disposing the
guaranteed boil off from cargo tanks.
~ System capable of handling 150% of normal boil off rate
by disposing excess BOG in the GCU.
LNG Reliquefaction Plant - Process
• Two different systems - Hamworthy Gas Systems for Q-flex

and Cryostar for Q-max.
• BOG is compressed in a 2-stage compressor and condensed
in a heat exchanger.
• Nitrogen is used as the refrigerant for both systems as it is
non-flammable, non-toxic and can be produced on board.
Nitrogen is compressed, precooled and expanded in a
closed cycle. Achived using a nitrogen"compander", a 3-
stage compressor and a single stage expander on the same
drive shaft.
• Variations in system demand are controlled by increasing
or decreasing the amount of refrigerant (nitrogen) in the
closed cycle.

VIQ Question 9.8

Are all powered mooring lines correctly
reeled on drums?
A band brake is designed to work in one
direction only. Therefore the line must
always be reeled correctly on the drum.
The line is properly reeled if it is pulling
Against the fixed end of the brake strap.
Disc brake work equally well in either
direction.
Above guidance from the VIQ 3rd Edition OCIMF
Revised Guidance in VIQ 5th Edition
• Notes: Because of design changes by winch

manufacturers, previous guidance used to assess the
correct reeling direction of mooring lines on winch drums,
namely that the fixed end of the brake band being in
tension, is not valid in all cases.
• The reeling arrangements of mooring lines on winch
drums should be examined to ensure that these are in
accordance with the manufacturer's design requirements.
• Each arrangement should be assessed on a case by case
basis. With lines correctly reeled, tension on the /me
should be in a direction that causes the free end of the
band to be forced towards the fixed end, thereby forcing
the two halves of the band to close together.

Competency and Teamwork

Cargo operation provide the best
opportunity to demonstrate
• Are the ISM Manuals used and user -
friendly?
• Are junior officers are involved in the
operations?
• Are officers properly rested?
• Do officers understand how to use and
check portable gas instruments?
OCIMF
Static Electricity - Cargo Operations
• Remember - If the tanks are properly inerted, no specific

precautions are required
• If the tanks are not inerted, specific anti-static precautions,
flow rates and sampling that will be taken as follows
41
10/08/2012
Static electricity precautions - Cargo

loading
• The initial and max loading rate for each grade. The initial loading
flow rate for each grade must not exceed a linear velocity of 1m/sec
(This is Very Important)
• After the bottom structure is covered and after all splashing and
turbulence has stopped, the rate can be increased to the lesser of
the ship or shore pipeline and pumping system max flow rates
consistent with proper control of the system.
Ullaging and Sampling
• During loading and for 30 minutes after the completion of

loading, the cargo must be allowed to "settle".
• Metallic equipment must not be introduced into the tank.
• Examples of equipment include manual steel tapes,
portable gauging devices mounted on deck standpipes,
metal sampling apparatus and metal sounding rods.
42
10/08/2012
Ullaging and sampling

• Non conducting equipment with no metal parts may, in
general, be used at any time. However ropes or tapes
used for lowering equipment into tanks must not be made
from synthetic materials
• After the 30 minute settling period, metallic equipment
may be used but it is essential that is is effectively bonded
and securely earthed to the structure before it is
introduced into the tank and that it remains earthed until
after it has been removed from the tank
Use of a Sounding Pipe

• Operations carried out through a full depth sounding pipe are
permitted at any time because it is not possible for a
significant electrical charge to accumulate on the surface of
the liquid within a correctly designed and installed sounding
pipe
• A sounding pipe is defined as a conducting pipe which
extends the full depth of the tank and is effectively bonded
43
10/08/2012
Loading Rates
This is particularly important when static accumulator cargoes are
loaded into non-inerted tanks
Pipe diameter (mm) Loading Rate (Cu.M/Hr

80 17
100 29
150 67
200 116
250 183
305 262
360 320
410 424
460 542
510 676
610 987
710 1354 --
810 17
Example: If the vessel is to commence loading at the same

time, into 6 tanks each having branch pipes of 150mm diam.
The max loading rate as taken from the table will be:-
150mm @67m3/hr per tank= 6x67=402m3/hr
If the pipelines have differing diameters, use the flow for the
smallest diameter.

_ Session 26 Introduction to Report Writing - _
Writing Observations
Remember that you are the eyes of the vetter
You need to tell the vetter three things:
1. What it is that you are observing, either

equipment or a situation that you observe or
an operation that is taking place
2. Where is the observation taking place on the
vessel
3. What is wrong with the structure, equipment or
the operation or situation that you are
observing

Important Do's and Don'ts - Recap.
• Do use all of your experience to observe situations

that may pose safety or pollution threats
• Do add comments to a Yes response BUT ONLY
when you observe unusually positive situations
• Don't waste time inserting VPQ data
• Don't use subjective com men ts
• Don't use the words "Pass" or "Fail"
• Don't load the Additional comments box with info
that should be recorded in response to the
questions
• Don't make any suggestions for corrective actions
What is it, where is it and What is wrong with it?
