74 RECOMMENDATIONS • accidental causes, such as collisions and groundings, generally give rise to much larger spills, with at least 84 percent of incidents involving quantities in excess of 700 tonnes being attributed to such factors.

ACTIONS Technical and Management A number of predetermined precautions must be observed by tanker and terminal/shore when cargo handling, ballasting, bunkering, tank cleaning and gas freeing are carried out in port. These include: • prohibiting naked lights on the tank deck and other places where there is a risk of flammable gas being present; • smoking restrictions; • restrictions on using appliances that employ naked flames while a tanker is at the terminal; • restrictions on using navigational equipment on the bridge; • closing all external doors, ports and other openings of the accommodation and engine room during cargo operations. Volatile cargo vapours should be kept out of these spaces; and • on tankers with air conditioning units, keeping the accommodation under positive pressure to prevent entry of cargo vapours. Intakes for these units should be positioned in a safe area so that vapours are not drawn into the accommodation. On tankers depending on natural ventilation, care should be taken on the position of the inlets as no vapours may enter the accommodation. Otherwise they should be covered or closed. In general, all openings of cargo tanks that are not gas free, such as cargo tank lids and ullage ports, should be kept closed. Tanker and shore personnel should maintain a close watch for possible leakage of cargo at the commencement of and during cargo transfer operations. All pipeline valves not in use should be closed.
ACTIONS Technical and Management (continued) VESSELS 75 Any spillage on deck should be immediately removed, and the oil spill should be reported to the terminal and port authorities to activate shore and tanker oil pollution plans. In case a spill belt is in place, the scuppers must be effectively plugged to prevent spilled cargo escaping into the water. When a tanker is alongside a berth, firefighting equipment is to be ready for immediate use. This means that firehoses with spray/jet nozzles are ready for use, and portable dry-chemical powder extinguishers are available in the cargo area that can be used as protection against small flash fires. Shipping company management has to encourage the use of safe working procedures and checklists as a practical result of a safety management system. The means should be made available to handle cargo in the safest possible way. Institutional and Capacity Building Port authorities should implement comprehensive and clear safety measures for barges carrying dangerous goods and during cargo operations. Execution of these safety measures should be regularly controlled by maritime police onboard. Cargo operations should be suspended and the barge fined if port safety regulations are not strictly followed. Training courses in dangerous goods handling should provide crewmembers with the necessary theoretical knowledge and safe working practices. Skill and experience have to be learnt onboard, when working under the supervision of an experienced crewmember. A tanker barge should display notices on deck, visible on two sides: Figure 16: Notices on a Tanker Barge (ISGINTT, Chapter 24)
