1. Bunkers to be transferred : A joint agreement on the quantity and grades of Bunkers to be

transferred , together with agreed transfer rates and maximum line back pressures.

3. Checks by barge Prior to Berthing : This section provides the checks to be carried out before
the barge goes alongside the ship.

transfer activities commence.
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.
