SECTION <strong>11</strong>.6<br />
Well the cargo is precious it requires taking care of, not only while loading discharging but during<br />
the voyage as well. One of the simple reasons is cargo stays on board ships for a longer period of<br />
time, than on the yards.<br />
Following are the safety routines in general to be followed on Ro-Ro Cargo Carriers:<br />
1) Check the lashing of the loaded vehicles, immediately after sailing from load port. You<br />
may require to amend the lashings in the following cases:<br />
In case any vehicle left unlashed.<br />
In case any of the lashing you may find is loose.<br />
In case any of the lashing is twisted.<br />
If the lashings have been placed at a wrong angle.<br />
In case of, the lashing is touching the ship’s structure in the cargo hold, such as<br />
frames and brackets etc.<br />
If there is no wooden wedges placed under the tire of the vehicles stowed in the<br />
slope way.<br />
2) Immediately after sailing from check the condition of vehicles. Check the following and<br />
amend if required:<br />
The hand brake should be on.<br />
The transmission gear in the correct place.<br />
Vehicles are kept un-locked.<br />
All the antennas retracted.<br />
Keys out of ignition and kept inside the gloves box.<br />
All doors closed.<br />
No cabin light or outside light is on.<br />
3) Must notify <strong>Univan</strong> and the charterers or the owners, as the case may be regarding<br />
improper lashing with locations, and load port.<br />
4) Lashing condition should again be checked whenever necessary in the following cases:<br />
When the rough weather is anticipated.<br />
During the rough weather. Vessel should be hove to and lashing should be<br />
checked.<br />
After experiencing the rough weather, again all the lashings must be tended.<br />
In the loaded voyage, after completing the part discharge in every discharge port.<br />
5) Leakages and oil spills should be cleaned immediately. Take all the measures to contain<br />
such leaks and protect the other vehicles for getting stain damages.<br />
6) Every day in loaded voyage the round of the cargo spaces should be taken to check the<br />
following regarding condition of cargo holds:<br />
Flammable gases must be ventilated out of the cargo hold at regular interval.<br />
Best is to start a morning routine of stating the exhausts and then taking the<br />
round to the cargo spaces. This will avoid any accumulation of gases in the cargo<br />
spaces.
