Engineering Operational Procedures7.0 Engine Precautions Against Freezing Purpose o To specify requirements for Engine Precautions against Freezing Application o All Vessels Responsibility o Master o Chief Engineer o Chief Mate 7.1 Precautions Against Freezing Precautions must be taken to prevent damage being sustained by the freezing of water in the various services, whilst maintaining as far as is practicable the efficiency of the ship and the comfort and amenities for all on board. Although the Chief Engineer is responsible for taking precautions to avoid frost damage to all pipe systems, pumps, machinery and the chief officer for precautions with regard to cargo lines, their mutual cooperation in the forewarning of frost and the implementation of precautionary measures is required if damage and discomfort are to be avoided. Precautions against freezing will need to be taken for equipment in the engine room when temperatures there fall to near freezing point. This will only occur under dead-ship conditions or during refit in cold conditions. It should be noted that sudden changes in sea and air temperatures - are to be expected during winter months on passage from the Caribbean or Mexican Gulf to N. American ports. For example, during the passage, the ship leaves the warm Gulf Stream and enters the cold Labrador Current in the vicinity of Cape Hatteras. In this area, sea temperatures may fall from 21°C to 7°C and air temperatures may also fall sharply, in a distance of under 200 miles.Controlled Revision: 01 Feb 2010PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 007ENGINE PRECATIONS AGAINST FREEZING Approval: WBF Page: 1 of 3
Engineering Operational ProceduresSea temperatures as low as -1°C may be experienced in the vicinity ofHalifax and during December, January, February and March, airtemperatures as low as -25°C may be experienced off New York andadjacent ports.• OME Checklist 004 should be used7.2 Main Engine - Freezing PrecautionsIn port the cooling spaces for the cylinders, pistons, turbo-blowers, etc.should be circulated with their respective media which should be heatedby the means provided. Should this not be possible then all spacescontaining water must be completely drained. Hand hole-doors shouldbe removed and pipes disconnected where necessary to ensure that nopockets of water remain.The engine should be moved by the turning gear at least once a day,and during this operation the cylinders should be oiled by the handoperated gear on the mechanical lubricators. If the stay in the coldzone is prolonged, a short trial run should, if possible, be taken at leastonce a week after the engine has been given two complete turns by theturning gear, and all precautions taken to see that the propeller is notdamaged by pack ice during the process. When the presence of packice is suspected, the main engine should always be started as slowly aspossible.7.3 Emergency Diesel Engine – Freezing PrecautionsWater cooled emergency diesel engines not fitted with heating elementsshould be filled with an anti-freeze solution. The strength of thissolution should be checked at regular intervals and adequate stocks ofanti-freeze should be carried.7.4 Pumps – Freezing PrecautionsAll pumps that are not in use must be completely drained of water.Due consideration should be given to the possibility of their refillingthrough passing valves and to any anticipated requirement to returnthem to service quickly.Controlled Revision: 01 Feb 2010PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 007ENGINE PRECATIONS AGAINST FREEZING Approval: WBF Page: 2 of 3
Engineering Operational Procedures7.5 Bunkers – Freezing PrecautionsIf fuel is carried in the forward deep tanks, all slack spaces at the afterend should be topped up before the cold zone is reached to obviatetransferring difficulties under freezing conditions, and also to reduceloss or contamination should forward tanks become damaged duringpassage through ice.7.6 Accommodation – Freezing PrecautionsWhen destined for high latitude ports during winter months, theaccommodation heating system should be thoroughly inspected and allnecessary repairs carried out before reaching the cold zone. If it isnecessary to shut down the system after arrival, widespread freezingup will be unavoidable, and it may not be possible to get the systemworking again until a more temperate climate is reached.

Engineering Operational Procedures8.0 Dry Dock / Repair Periods Purpose o To specify requirements for Dry Dock / Repair Periods Application o All Vessels Responsibility o Master o Chief Engineer o Chief Mate 8.1 Safety When the vessel first arrives at the ship yard or, if convenient, at the preparation anchorage, an Initial Safety Meeting should be held. Attendees at this meeting should include the Vessels Superintendent, Shipyard Repair Manager, Dock representatives, Senior Officers and the Safety Officer. A Daily Safety Meeting should be held with the yard at a time specified by the Superintendent and agreed with the yard. This meeting Minutes should include the following, but not be limited to the following: Safety, Jobs Planned for the Day, Jobs Status, Jobs Completed by the yard and the ship staff and any Jobs which will affect any parties should be discussed to prevent any incidents. Ship's staffs are required to monitor the work of the ship yard. Officers will be allocated jobs for which they are responsible before arrival at the shipyard. Allocation is the responsibility of the vessel's Master and Chief Engineer and should be agreed with the responsible Vessels Superintendent.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 1 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures SeaTeam HSQE standards are to apply throughout the refit. If the ship yard fails to meet these standards, the attending Vessels Superintendent should be informed so that corrective action can be taken. If any member of the shipyard staff is considered to be working unsafely, ship's personnel are empowered to stop that work. Such a stoppage must be immediately bought to the attention of the Vessels Superintendent and Department Head and a request made to the Shipyard Manager to re-organize the work to an acceptable standard.8.2 COW Operations and Tank CleaningRoutine COW Operations during every discharge Ports, with moreIncreased COW operations especially in the previous 2 -3 voyages priorDD, along with efficient stripping and tank cleaning will ensure thatsludge/scale lifting before refit is minimized. A pre-docking tank cleaning and line washing plan should be prepared and forwarded to the managing office for review and approval. If practical, all tanks should be washed and sludge/scale should be lifted on the ballast voyage before the last laden voyage before refit. As many tanks as possible should be washed if time does not permit full tank cleaning. The managing office should be advised of any defects in tank cleaning equipment in sufficient time so that repairs and replacements may be arranged at the final discharge port before refit. The equipment must be ready for maximum tank cleaning and gas freeing on the voyage between final discharge and refit ports. All lines and pumps should be thoroughly washed and, if practicable, drained. Mud boxes and pump filters must be opened up and cleaned out. Sounding pipes, COW-lines and inert gas lines should be cleaned and drained. Bunker tanks and lub oil tanks must never be considered to be safe simply on account of a high specified flash point. Such tanks must always be ventilated and cleaned before repairs are allowed to take place. Refer to ISGOTT for more information.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 2 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures After departure from the last discharge port, heating coils in cargo tanks and/or bunker tanks should be cleaned with water and tested. The pump room must be gas free and the bilges must be washed thoroughly and mopped dry. The opening of any fuel oil compartment or double bottom tank must be supervised by a senior engineer who must satisfy himself that the correct tank is in fact being opened and that there is no chance of flooding with either fuel oil or sea water, particularly in the engine-room. In any event, normal precautions must be taken i.e. under no circumstances should nuts or other fastenings be completely removed until the compartment lid has been lifted a little and it has been ascertained that there is no pressure within the tank. Compartments must be thoroughly ventilated and full safety precautions must be observed. Before repairs start the vessel must be presented for inspection with all her cargo valves in open position, apart from those segregating the ballast. After the inspection by the chemist the position of the cargo valves must not be changed unless immediately followed by a new inspection.8.2.1 Cargo Tank, Valve and Line TestsAll cargo lines and valves should be tested during the last ballastvoyage prior to refit. During this time, opportunity can be taken topressure test the Lines and Valves to find out any defective orsuspected leaking valves which can be identified to the Superintendentfor attendance in DD.8.3 Ballast for Dry-DockingGuidance as to the draft, the quantity of ballast and distribution ofweight required before entering dry-dock should be in accordance withthe vessel’s docking plan & in agreement with the shipyard & vessel’sAttending Superintendent so as to plan the work sequence in dockaccordingly. Prior to refit, Class may require to perform stagger tests for Class certification. Stagger tests are alternate pressing up of ballast / cargo tanks and examination of the bulkheads from theControlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 3 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures adjacent empty tanks in order for fracture or leaks to be identified. This operation may be comprehensive and time consuming, as the ballast will need to be adjusted after arrival from sea and before entry into any dry-dock. The extent of any stagger testing must be queried with Superintendent and Class well before refit so that requirements, plans, risk assessment and time allowance can be planned. For entry into any dry dock, draughts, trim, list and stress requirements are to be identified, planned and achieved prior to dry-dock entry. Draughts must be visually sighted and confirmed against their plan by the yard prior to allowing the vessel entering the dry dock. It this therefore imperative that visually observed draughts correspond exactly with calculated figures. To achieve this level of accuracy it is best practice during service to visually cross check draughts against calculation. Adjustments may then be made to the calculated draughts to match the visual draughts by varying the weight of stores or “constants” of the ship’s light condition so that visual/calculated draughts always correspond. When the vessel is with very light draughts prior to refit the draughts must again be visually observed and adjusted prior to entering dry dock. Any allowance for stores or “constants” will have a much greater effect than previous due to no sea ballast or cargo now being onboard. Small adjustments in the calculated figures may then again be necessary to ensure accurate correspondence. During such docking conditions attention should also be given to the cooling sea water suction so that pressure is not lost during docking. This should be particularly discussed with the yard & attending superintendent so that alternative means of power supply are arranged for. Once exact visual drafts have been achieved it now becomes very important that all weights/volumes left in the ship are accurately recorded. It is very important that the vessel leaves the dry dock with exactly the same weights/volumes that she entered with. This ensures that departure drafts and trim remain exactly the same and no differences occur that would cause the vessel to exert greater force than arrival on any of the dry-dock bottom blocks. There is a considerable risk of hull damage should this occur. Indeed at low levels of difference the ships first floating stability, trim and list will be affected and with greater differences there is even a risk of capsizing in the dry-dock.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 4 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures To be absolutely sure that the weights in the vessel before and after dry-dock flotation remains exactly the same it is important that all tanks are dipped manually before and after the operation to ensure the contents remain the same. This ensures that the accuracy of remote level recording systems is not relied upon as single point reliance. Be aware remote measuring systems may be inaccurate in measuring tank contents. They may also have been inaccurate for some time but because the inaccuracies have remained constant that they have gone un-noticed. During refit various power changes; maintenance and blackouts may then occur that cause remote tank level recording to change their indication of tank contents. As such remote tank level recording equipment cannot be relied upon to accurately measure tank contents before and after dry-docking. Prior docking Stern tube sealing arrangement should also be configured as per maker’s instructions to avoid possible leakage of sealing oil. Prior refloating the seal integrity is to be verified and once afloat, the system to be reverted to normal. In case the stern tube Cooling Fresh Water tank needs to be emptied to obtain the docking draft, allowance must be made to refill this tank prior departure. Manual tank dipping of all empty, full or partially loaded tanks will identify the exact contents in each tank that will be required to be adjusted or refilled to the same level prior to dock flooding. Be aware ballast tanks will be emptied into the dry-dock bottom by plug removal or by gravity to dock when firmly sitting on the blocks. As such ballast tanks will need to be refilled prior to flotation and an accurate knowledge of the tank contents prior to arrival and emptying is absolutely necessary to ensure the same is replicated for departure8.4 Planning RepairsShip repair planning and the compilation of refit specifications shouldbe carried out by the Managing Office. A complete work specificationshould be forwarded to the ship prior to the refit to enable extra itemsand items which have since been dealt with to be noted. Repair requirements should be submitted as soon as their need is identified. Sufficient detail should be included to enable a shipControlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 5 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures repair yard to make an accurate cost estimate. The maintenance requirements should be sent to the appropriate Managing Office by post or data transmission. The completed maintenance requirement should be checked by the appointed Superintendent and added to the current Refit Specification. It may be returned to the vessel if additional details are required. Where work is completed between refits, the Managing Office should be informed accordingly. The Company will initiate refit specifications for dry-dock related services and standard items.Supervision of RepairsAll ship's staff are required to assist the Superintendent in charge ofthe refit and to keep themselves fully acquainted with the progressof repair work. To maximize co-operation and communication, management meetings should be held between the Superintendent in charge of the docking and Senior Staff. A mutual decision should be made as to the requirements for night duty officers, depending on the status of repairs. No additional work should be put in hand without the authority of the Superintendent in charge.Inspection of RepairsImmediately a ship is dry-docked, the Master or the Chief Officerand the Chief Engineer should accompany the Superintendent andinspect the outside and bottom of the hull, the propeller and rudderand should report on any damage noted. The proper fitting of all drain plugs throughout the ship is the responsibility of the Chief Officer. All plugs should be clearly marked. When plugs are removed at the repairer's, Superintendent’s or Chief Engineer's request, the Chief Officer should be informed. The attendance of a Superintendent does not relieve the Chief Officer of the responsibility for ensuring that all plugs are properly fitted before the dock is flooded. The Superintendent in charge cannot always be present when items of machinery are being finally closed up and the senior Engineer Officer present should thereafter ensure that suchControlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 6 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures machinery is satisfactory. Strict attention should be paid to cleanliness when inspecting machinery prior to closing up. Dirt and debris left in items of machinery, boilers and bilge spaces are a frequent cause of equipment malfunction and can be the cause of major casualties. Routine inspections should be made to ensure that debris does not accumulate. In addition to routine inspections of work in progress, the duty Officer should also carry out a general inspection of the whole ship on the completion of the day's work, with due regard being taken to the requirements of safe entry into enclosed spaces. The employment of shore watchmen does not relieve the ship's staff of the need for routine inspections of the whole ship. At the completion of repairs, staff should inspect the whole ship to ensure that no debris or shore equipment remains on board.Prior to Arrival at the ShipyardThe Senior Officers should convene a pre-refit meeting. Themeeting should cover the safety and security aspects of the refit, aswell as operational preparations and work allocation. The ship should prepare diagrams of the ship and indicate on them the stowage locations of all hazardous materials, such as paint, chemicals, oils and gases. Bunker tank boundaries should be clearly marked on the deck with Yellow paint and warning notices should be painted on the tank bulkheads. This requirement should include gas oil and lub oil tanks and tanks for emergency pumps and generators. Depending on the work scope, it may also be decided to mark the position of such tanks on the external hull when the vessel enters the repair yard.Initial Safety Meeting upon Arrival at the ShipyardSubjects for discussion at the initial safety meeting should includethe following but should not be limited to: Introduction of ship's officers and responsible yard supervisors. Explanation by shipyard of its HSQE policy and practices.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 7 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures Contact lists and emergency telephone numbers for both shipyard and ship. Schedule, key dates and timing for daily safety meetings. Domestic arrangements - transport facilities, etc. During the course of the meeting the following specific points should be discussed as appropriate: As a minimum, the shipyard must immediately report to the SeaTeam Representative any damage or defects affecting, or likely to affect, the integrity of the dock, both graving and floating type. This should include the gate, flooding valves, pumping arrangements, etc. and any proposed maintenance or repairwork to the dock and its facilities, prior to the commencement of such work. If the SeaTeam representative considers that the proposed work poses an unacceptable level of risk to personnel working in the dock or on the vessel, he must have authority to stop work and remove personnel from the area. The status of the ship's fire fighting equipment, in particular the fixed systems for the engine room, other machinery spaces and pumproom. Discussions to include agreement on the arrangements and responsibilities for the disconnection of fixed flooding systems. When the dock is being emptied and once it is drained, the ship's fire main must be pressurised by the shore services. If repairs are scheduled on the ship's fire main, an alternative means of fire fighting must be provided by the refit yard. Provisions may include fire hoses specifically dedicated for the purpose. Discuss and agree the system for Ship/Shore Fire and Safety patrols. Identify both ship and shore duty officers so that the relevant fire and safety patrols know who to report to and how e.g. walkie- talkie. Prior notification should always be given for hotwork and confined space work permits. In particular, the status of the ship’s fire detection system must be confirmed before hotworkControlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 8 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures takes place in the spaces it protects. The hotwork lists should be issued daily by each department and posted in the relevant areas for all to see. Identify and agree the tank entry controls. Identify how the daily gas readings are taken, posted and communicated to others. When appropriate, security arrangements and access restrictions for entry into LNG cargo tanks should be identified. Identify and agree the responsibility for correct isolation and lock out procedures that are to be adopted during the refit period. Identify measures in place to ensure that the yard and ship security arrangements for the control of people coming on board are effective. There must be at least two safe means of access provided to the ship from the dry dock side. Both access routes must be clear of dock equipment. PPE of shore workers and the smoking regulations must be enforced. The notification to the ship yard repair manager that ship’s recording of HSE non-conformances will continue throughout the repair period. Identify the tugs and mooring requirements for the entry into the dock. o Note that the ship’s mooring power will be out of service soon after the dock is closed, due to the change-over to shore power. All winch use for re-stowing of moorings must be completed as soon as possible. Similarly, all ballast operations should be concluded as soon as possible to enable the plant to be shutdown without further delay. The anchors must be fully secured during the refit period. The only exception will be when the anchors are ranged on the dock bottom. o Checking of the End/Joining Shackle and the Kenter Shackles and associated locking arrangements in addition to the standard practices.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 9 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures All lifeboats must be fully secured. This means ensuring that the docking pins are in and that a means to prevent accidental release of the hooks and falls has been instigated. Where grit blasting is to take place: o All moorings not in use must be covered or stowed away. o Rigging wires should be covered. o Tank openings must be closed. o Pilot ladders should be stowed away. o Engine room sea valves should be closed or covered to prevent ingress of grit into the engine room. Prior to the usage of any ship’s crane or lifting appliance, the repair yard may test the equipment. If so, the maximum test weight should be specified and the test witnessed by a responsible officer to ensure no accidental overloading of the equipment takes place. Where it is necessary to open tank openings, engine room hatches, or remove any railings or guard rails, warning signs must be posted and the approaches fitted with temporary barriers of suitable construction and strength to prevent falls. During the repair or refit period, a combined emergency exercise between the ship and the repair facility must take place and a report must be provided by the yard for the Superintendent. Whenever it is necessary for the ship’s staff to go onto the dock bottom, they should ensure that an appropriate person is informed of their intentions. This may be their Department Head, other senior officer or the vessel’s Superintendent.8.5 Responsibilities in Dry-dockThe presence of a Superintendent in no way alters the hierarchicalstructure onboard, whereby the immediate responsibility for the overallsafety of the ship and those onboard rests with the Master.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 10 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures The presence of a Superintendent onboard in no way deflects each individual from taking personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of those around them. Neither the presence of a Superintendent onboard nor the fact that OPL repair activities are taking place, should in any way dilute the strict implementation and compliance with established Permit to Work systems. Any individual on board who has strong concerns over the safety aspects of a job, is empowered to stop the work until a re- assessment of the activity has been carried out.8.6 Precautions Prior to RefloatingThe Chief Officer should ensure the distribution of weight throughoutthe ship is correct at the time the ship rises from the blocks. After thevessel is afloat, an inspection must be made of the watertight integrityof all spaces below the waterline, as well as the shipside and sternfittings. The Chief Officer must take note of best practice in the section on Ballast for Dry Docking for manual dip verification of ballast prior to dry-docking and refloating to ensure the strictest and most accurate replication of arrival/departure condition. This will ensure the vessel refloats with the same trim and list as she took the blocks and preserve hull point loadings from the dry dock blocks, hull stresses and trim/list. The most dangerous time for the vessel occurs whilst dockyard flooding immerses openings into the hull. It is vitally important that ship’s time is taken to check every conceivable aspect of hull and system integrity and reliability is correct before the vessel proceeds to refloat. The usual practice is for the dock to be partially re-flooded but with the ship still sitting on the blocks. At this stage there may be some time pressure from the dockyard for the vessel to depart in readiness for their next arrival. The Master must ensure the vessel’s priority is safety and verification of hull integrity before allowing the yard to refloat. The dry-dock will await the Master’s instruction on being safe to proceed at this point and this must not be rushed before being fully satisfied that every conceivable check has made in order to safelyControlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 11 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures proceed. This is a vitally important and a critical time for the ship. In view of this a Pre-Flooding meeting with all relevant parties and a targeted Risk Assessment must have been performed onboard in refit prior to the scheduled flooding day. The following list of areas to be checked is not exclusive but may be used for guidance in application of principle: o Valve positions. Removed valves have been known to be fitted the wrong way round. As such it will be open when indicating shut. This has been known on new build ships too. o All tanks to be manually sounded to double check dry dock plugs are again refitted correctly and water is not filling the tank. Pipeline jointing double-checked for water head tightness. o In short double-check everything. There will be equipment that is not on the same operational state as when the vessel arrived. The only thing not known is which equipment that is!8.7 SurveysIt is the responsibility of the Master of the vessel to ensure that all themandatory certificates relating to the vessel are up to date andmaintained in that condition. The Master is also responsible for ensuringthat the surveys required to maintain these various certificates up todate are arranged for and carried out cost effectively. Keeping thevessel's survey list up to date is the responsibility of the Chief Engineerwho should inform the Master of the due dates of the surveys. When any survey work has been carried out, the Managing Office should be advised accordingly, reporting any deficiencies found. Although original signed reports and certificates (or certified copies) are required to be kept on board by the Flag administration or Classification Society, copies of these and survey reports should be forwarded to the Managing Office.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 12 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures Machinery Surveys When a Chief Engineer joins a vessel he must check with the vessel Superintendent what are the classification societies requirements with regards to authorization to conduct CSM surveys. Any Chief Engineer who has carried out CSM surveys, and is due to leave the vessel prior to these surveys being verified, must ensure that a copy of his authorization is attached to the survey reports if applicable For those ships not operating under the Continuous Machinery Survey(CSM), the Chief Engineer should arrange for overhauls and inspections of the various items. These should coincide with the ship's arrival at one of the major ports where the Classification Society Surveyor is available. In consultation with the vessels Superintendent, the attendance of a surveyor should be arranged on arrival. The particular item or items opened up may then be submitted for survey and an Interim Certificate obtained. In deciding the item or items to be submitted, consideration should be given to the safety of the ship. The Master Survey Listing should be updated by the Master and/or Chief Engineer accordingly.8.8 Repairs at a Facility Other Than a ShipyardThis section addresses situations where a ship that is operational isrequired to carry out repairs using shore labour outside a shipyard ordry dock facility. In these cases, the safety of all on board will bedependent of the Vessels SMT and also in line with the SuperintendentsInstructions. Repairs may be undertaken while the ship is: At anchor Alongside at a lay-by berth, not normally used for cargo operations Alongside a commercial jettyControlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 13 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures At Sea o Such repair work will only be carried out on an exceptional basis and attention will need to be paid to ensuring that the scope of the SMS fully embraces planned activities and the exposures to the shore labour employed. Repair tasks should be risk-assessed and the appropriate permits should be issued.8.8.1 Supervision and ControlWhenever possible, a superintendent will join the vessel to supervisethe repair activity. He will be responsible for maintaining full control ofthe repair work and will assist the Master in ensuring that the ship ismaintained in a safe condition at all times and that all work is carriedout in a safe and proper manner. Pre-Arrival Planning - Prior to arrival at the repair berth, anchorage or other facility, the SMT should convene a pre-repair meeting at which the following should be taken into consideration: Type and location of the berth or anchorage. Moorings – numbers, type. Condition of the vessel – gas free or inert. Safe access – by launch, gangway or other means. Number of persons involved, including contractors. Location of work to be undertaken – engine room, cargo spaces, above deck, accommodation, etc. Facilities for disposal of slops or sludge. Arrangements for permits and certification. Understanding of port or terminal requirements. Availability of main power or main engine(s).Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 14 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures Emergency procedures, on board and ashore. Availability of assistance - fire-fighting, medical facilities, etc. Connection to shore side services – water, power etc. Weather conditions. Draught / trim limitations (to avoid unnecessary ballast handling). Restrictions on smoking and other naked lights. Mooring Arrangements o When moored to a repair berth, the number and size of mooring lines used should be adequate for all likely weather and tidal conditions. Whenever practicable, an alternative power source should be provided for the deck machinery, in order that moorings can be adjusted if main power is not available. On repair berths, the mooring pattern may be restricted due to crane movements or other activity on the dock side. Such restrictions should be taken into account when planning the berthing of the ship. Moorings should be clear of hot work areas or other locations where the lines may be damaged by the repair work in progress. When at anchor, adequate cable should be used, particularly if the main engine(s) will not be available at any time.8.8.2 Shore FacilitiesWhenever practicable, the vessel should be physically isolated fromregular terminal facilities or berths where other vessels are beingworked.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 15 of 18
Engineering Operational Procedures If any repairs are to be carried out concurrent with cargo handling operations, specific permission should be granted by the terminal operators. The Master should establish whether any significant operations are to take place involving other vessels in the vicinity of the berth at which repairs are being undertaken i.e. departure/arrival of other vessels, bunkering, fuel oil transfer etc. The Master should be familiar with any specific safety requirements of the facility and/or harbour authorities. There should be a safe means of access at all times with guard rails and safety nets as appropriate. The number of access points should be sufficient to allow timely evacuation of all personnel on board. The gangway should be monitored at all times and a gangway watch should be posted. On a lay-by berth where the vessel is not gas free, a sign should be placed at the foot of the gangway worded “No Unauthorized Access - This Ship Is Not Gas Free.” Port security plans should be implemented and followed as may be appropriate. Contractors should advise the Master and Superintendent of the number and movement of workers on board each day during the repair period. Procedures for the use of cranes or other lifting equipment should be determined upon arrival. Garbage disposal procedures should be agreed between the vessel and the facility, with regular disposal of accumulated garbage being arranged. Emergency alarm signals should be agreed and, whenever practicable, a drill held prior to commencing repair work. Subsequent drills should be arranged when the repairs are to be carried out over an extended period. Any restrictions on activities such as bunkering, storing or taking luboils are to be agreed.Controlled Revision: 01 Jun 2014PCM Part C - EOP Doc No. 008DRY DOCK / REPAIR PERIODS Approval: WBF Page: 16 of 18

The responsibility for thebunkering operation is usually delegated to designated ResponsibleOfficers on the ship and on the barge. Before the bunkering operationcommences, the Responsible Officers should:Agree in writing the handling procedures, including the maximumtransfer rates.Agree in writing the action to be taken in the event of an emergencyduring transfer operations.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part C – EOP Doc No. 010BUNKERING OPERATIONS Approval: WBF Page: 7 of 12
Engineering Operational ProceduresComplete and sign the Bunkering Safety Check-List.The Bunkering Safety Check-List is based upon the Ship/Shore SafetyCheck-List and the Pre-Transfer Bunkering Check-List contained in theIMO publication `Recommendations on the Safe Transport ofDangerous Cargoes and Related Activities in Port Areas'. The Check-List is primarily structured for loading bunkers from a barge, but it isalso suitable for use when taking bunkers from a jetty or when loadingbulk lubricating oil or gas oil from a road tanker.10.3.1 Pre-Bunkering Checklist - Form TECH 026The following guidelines have been produced to assist ship, barge andterminal operators in their joint use of the Bunkering Safety Check-List.The Bunkering Safety Check-List uses statements assigningresponsibility and accountability. Ticking or initialling the appropriatebox, and finally signing the declaration, confirms the acceptance ofobligations. Once signed, it provides the minimum basis for safeoperations as agreed through a mutual exchange of critical information.Some of the Check-List statements are directed to considerations forwhich the ship has sole responsibility and accountability, some forwhich the barge has sole responsibility and accountability and otherswhich assign joint responsibility and accountability. Shaded boxes areused to identify statements that generally may be applicable to onlyone party, although the ship or barge may tick or initial such sections ifthey so wish. The assignment of responsibility and accountability doesnot mean that the other party is excluded from carrying out checks inorder to confirm compliance. The assignment of responsibility andaccountability ensures clear identification of the party responsible forinitial and continued compliance throughout the transfer activity. TheResponsible Officers completing the Check-List should be the peoplecarrying out the bunkering operation. The tanker's Responsible Officershould personally check all considerations lying within the responsibilityof the tanker. Similarly, the barge's Responsible Officer shouldpersonally check all considerations that are within the responsibility ofthe barge. In fulfilling their responsibilities, Responsible Officers shouldassure themselves that the standards of safety on both sides of theoperation are fully acceptable. This can be achieved by means such as:Confirming that a competent person has satisfactorily completed theCheck-list.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part C – EOP Doc No. 010BUNKERING OPERATIONS Approval: WBF Page: 8 of 12
Engineering Operational ProceduresSighting appropriate recordsBy joint inspection, where deemed appropriate.For mutual safety, before the start of operations, and from time to timethereafter, a barge representative and a ship's officer should conductinspections of the barge and the ship to ensure that their obligations,as accepted in the Check-List, are being effectively managed.The Bunkering Safety Check-List contains the following sections:Bunkers to be Transferred - A joint agreement on the quantity andgrades of bunkers to be transferred, together with agreed transfer ratesand the maximum line back pressures.Bunker Tanks to be Loaded - An identification of the tanks to be loadedwith the aim of ensuring that there is sufficient space to safelyaccommodate the bunkers to be transferred. Space is provided torecord each tank's maximum filling capacity and the available volume.Checks Prior to Berthing - This section provides the checks to becarried out before the barge goes alongside the ship.Checks Prior to Transfer - This section provides the checks to be jointlyundertaken before transfer activities commence.Checks after transfer - This section provides the checks to beundertaken after transfer activities have been completedThe numbers in brackets after each of the questions in Sections 3 and 4relate to the guidance notes for completing the Ship/Shore SafetyCheck-List in `Recommendations on the Safe Transport of DangerousCargoes and Related Activities in Port Areas' Section 26.4, which shouldbe referred to for additional information. The safety of operationsrequires that all relevant statements are considered and the associatedresponsibility and accountability for compliance accepted. Where eitherparty is not prepared to accept an assigned accountability, a commentmust be made in the Remarks column and due consideration given towhether operations should proceed. Where an item is agreed not to beapplicable to the ship, to the barge or to the operation envisaged, anote to that effect should be entered in the `Remarks' column. Thepresence of the letters `A' or `R' in the Code column indicates thefollowing:A = (`Agreement'). This indicates an agreement or procedure thatshould be identified in the Check-List or communicated in some othermutually acceptable form.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part C – EOP Doc No. 010BUNKERING OPERATIONS Approval: WBF Page: 9 of 12
Engineering Operational ProceduresR = (`Re-check'). This indicates items to be re-checked at appropriateintervals, as agreed between both parties and stated in the declaration.The joint declaration should not be signed until all parties have checkedand accepted their assigned responsibilities and accountabilities.10.3.2 Bunker Loading/Transfer Calculation – Form TECH 025At each loading of bunkers or internal transfer this form is to becompleted by the Chief Engineer and countersigned by the Master,before any transfer of oil takes place. The original copy should beretained onboard as advised in the index. A duplicate copy must bemade and discussed with any assistants to the operation after which itshould be posted in a position where it is accessible to all taking part inthe bunker operation. There is no requirement to complete this form forroutine transfers to settling or service tanks where they are arranged tooverflow back to a bunker tank or overflow tank. This type of operationmust be covered by Chief Engineer's standing orders.The official Oil Record Book must be completed after any oil transferNotes; Volume correction factor (VCF) is obtained from ASTM table 54b Weight correction Factor (WCF) is obtained from ASTM table 56 Volume at 15°C is observed volume at observed temperature multiplied by VCF Volume at 15°C is weight in metric tonnes divided by WCF ASTM tables 54B and 56 are for generalised products and cover most grades of fuel oil. Different tables would be used for other products such as lubricating oil. The density and temperature of the bunkers to be loaded should be obtained from the supplier prior to loading. The density for calculating the final volume should be base on a pro-rata figure relative to the final proportions of different density bunkers in a tank.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part C – EOP Doc No. 010BUNKERING OPERATIONS Approval: WBF Page: 10 of 12
Engineering Operational Procedures When calculating the total volume on board at completion, caution must be observed with respect to the finishing temperature and where doubt exists the highest temperature should be used.Maximum Quantity:Under normal circumstances, were a predetermined fixed quantity ofbunkers is being loaded and a ‘Shore Stop’ is used, the vessel can loadto a maximum of 90% capacity. If the loading is to be a ‘Ship’s Stop’and there is a facility provided whereby the loading operation can bestopped instantly by the ship, the vessel may be loaded to a maximumof 95% capacity.The above mentioned maximum percentage is the limiting capacity tobe loaded. However the actual maximum may vary vessel to vessel &tank to tank depending upon characteristics, like overflow pipe location,experience factor like spray splashing out of air-vents etc. In whichcase the maximum loading should be reduced accordingly and clearlyrecorded on board for future reference.Different grades of bunkers should be stored separately as far aspractically possible. If mixing is necessary the ratio should not be morethan 80:20. Vessel to inform and take permission from vessel’ssuperintendent if charterers / operators intend to exceed the mixingratio. Mixing of bunkers, if absolutely necessary, should be restricted toONE tank onlyWhenever different grades of bunkers are mixed care should be takenwhen putting them to use for the first time, like allowing adequatesettling, draining of water, choking of filters and purification. Ensureadequate “good known” bunkers are available when using the mixedbunkers for the first time. So that in case of operational difficulties like,sludge formation, purifier chocking etc. there are sufficient goodbunkers to change back to.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part C – EOP Doc No. 010BUNKERING OPERATIONS Approval: WBF Page: 11 of 12
