94 RECOMMENDATIONS References • DAGOB Maritime Transport and Risks of Packaged Dangerous Goods 4:2006; • ADN; and • IMDG Code. ACTIONS Technical and Management A dangerous goods stowage plan together with a dangerous cargo list should be onboard and ready for immediate use in case of an emergency. The MSDS should be available where the required emergency-response measures are fully explained. A dangerous goods stowage plan together with a dangerous cargo list should be onboard and ready for immediate use in case of an emergency. The operator should make sure that the crew has all relevant information and documentation necessary for the safe transport of the dangerous goods involved. Institutional and Capacity Building Authorities should implement the IMDG code or similar code to regulate the transport of packaged dangerous goods either as general cargo or in containers. Training programmes for crew handling this cargo should be provided in nautical colleges. Documents relating to dangerous cargo onboard are subject to scrutiny by port officials, (PSC inspectors) and other concerned parties. Thus any irregularities in such documentation may result in fines, detention or other such serious implications for the vessel. 3.3.5.2 Material Safety Data Sheet RECOMMENDATION Ship operator should only accept dangerous goods if the correct MSDS is provided. Challenge The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is often not provided for the materials onboard tanker barges (see previous section). Effective control over tanker barge cargo operations includes the combination of trained personnel, fully equipped and well maintained tanker barges, proper management, safe working procedures, checklists, and the necessary cargo information. Detailed and essential cargo information can be found in the MSDS. The MSDS is a form with data regarding the properties of a particular substance. Its purpose is to provide personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner. The sheet includes information such as physical data, toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, (PPE) protective equipment and spill-handling procedures. Material Safety Data Sheets or Safety Data Sheets (SDS) should be provided by the supplier to assist the ship’s crew in handling the dangerous cargo. The MSDS indicates the type and probable concentrations of hazardous or toxic components in the cargo to be loaded, especially H2S (hydrogen sulfide) and benzene as these often occur in petroleum products.
References • IMO Resolution MSC.286 (86) (adopted 5 June 2009); and • ISGINTT, Chapter 12. ACTIONS Technical and Management The relevant MSDS should be onboard for all dangerous goods carried. Institutional and Capacity Building VESSELS 95 The authorities should implement the use of MSDS whenever dangerous goods are involved. Awareness of the crew handling petroleum products (and other dangerous cargoes) about the dangers of these products (toxic, flammable and explosive vapours) must be strengthened by efficient training courses and the use and content of the MSDS explained. Specific training for tanker crew on handling dangerous goods, and use of gas measuring instruments. 3.4 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MITIGATION Target group: All barges Assigned priority area in the risk register: high and very high. 3.4.1 Firefighting Equipment RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should determine minimum requirements for firefighting equipment including fire extinguishers, firehoses and fixed firefighting systems onboard vessels. Challenge Fire requires a combination of fuel, oxygen, ignition source and a combustion. Fires are extinguished by the removal of heat, fuel or air, or by interrupting the chemical reaction of combustion. The main objective of firefighting is to reduce the temperature, remove the fuel, exclude the supply of air or interfere chemically with the combustion process with the greatest possible speed. Firefighting equipment includes fixed firefighting installations with water, with foam and CO2 to fight fires in the engine and pump room. A number of specific portable fire extinguishers should be onboard as well as including lifelines, breathing apparatus, fire axes, helmets, fire blankets and explosion-proof safety lamps. All barges should be provided with a fixed water firefighting system and also, depending on their use and location onboard, appropriate and sufficient portable fire extinguishers. The range of portable fire extinguishers should meet the requirements of the respective legislation and they should be in good order and available for immediate use. This requires a regular check for the proper location, the charging pressure and general condition. The fixed water-fighting system (cooling) should consist of pumps with a permanent underwater connection, a fire-main with hydrant points, firehoses complete with couplings, and jet/spray nozzles. A sufficient number of hydrants should be provided and located so that two jets of water can reach any part of the tanker.
