Description
The International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT 5) was updated and amended by OCIMF, ICS, and the International Association of Ports and Harbours.
This Sixth Edition includes the most recent research on a number of current topics, such as gas detection, fire safety, the escalating use of mobile electronic devices, the toxicity and toxic effects of petroleum products (such as benzene and hydrogen sulphide), and the creation of static electricity and stray currents.
What’s fresh?
The following are newly praised topics in ISGOTT 5:
enclosed entrance to a place. human elements. Safety Management Systems (SMSs), which are linked to the fundamental ideas of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, together with related tools and procedures including work permits, risk assessments, Lock-out/Tag-out (LO/TO), and Stop Work Authority (SWA). Administration of marine terminals and the crucial role of the interface between the tanker and terminal. new and alternative technologies. Bunkering operations, which involve the use of alternative fuels like LNG (liquefied natural gas). Inspection of cargo. compliance with the most recent revision of the OCIMF’s Mooring Equipment Guidelines. Maritime security and its relationship to industry-wide best management practices for maritime security as well as the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code (BMP). Care has been made to ensure that, in cases where the advice provided in earlier versions is still applicable and accurate, any additions, modifications, or deletions have improved the content rather than lessened the commitment to protecting the environment, people’s health, and safety.
The Ship/Shore Safety and Bunkering Operations Checklists have undergone a comprehensive revision process to align with evolving perspectives on the role of human factors in the efficient implementation of these protocols. This goal is around making sure that the tanker and the terminal are aware of each other’s unique and shared responsibilities both before and after they arrive. The two checklists can now be downloaded for free.
