Security
‘The International Ship and Port Facility Security (SPS) Code’ Reference 9) addresses security procedures
and practices requited for port facilities, and forthe ships that call at the port facilities. Industry best practice
‘and national legislation should conform tothe ISPS. For MBM facilities, particular attention should be given
to the security issues associated with the remote offshore location of the berth, such asthe prevention of,
Unauthorised access to the berth and moored vessels
Risk Assessment
‘Terminal operators should use rsk assessment tools as a basis for developing their management system. The
risk assessment should cover al matine activities including, but not limited to, ativaV departure, mooring/
‘unmooring, safe access, hose connection/ disconnection and cargo transfer operations, and should have the
objective of reducing the identified risks to'a low as reasonably practical (ALARP).
Risk assessments should be undertaken as part of the process when modifications are made to the terminal
equipment and facilities They should also be carried out as part ofthe safety management process to allow
the conduct of operations whose scope is not covered by the existing operational procedures.
‘The terminal should conduct periodic reviews of facilities and operations to identify potential hazards and
the associated risks, which may demonstrate the need for additional or revised risk assessments Reviews
should also be carried out folowing a marine incident or when there are changes to the terminal facilities
Cr operations, for example: changes in equipment, organisation, the product being handled, or the type of
tankers visiting the terminal A formal Management of Changeypqscess should be in place that may include
risk assessment.
HSE Audits oO
The HSE Management System fr the terminal =o at suitable frequency with cotectve
actions being taken where necessary The industry pbblication Marine Terninal Baseline Criteria and
‘Assessment Questionnaire Reference 7) may be iemal audits and audits carried out by third parties.
Incident Reporting 2
Its important that clear procedures are established for the reporting, recording and investigation of incidents
and near misses which affect, or could afeet, operational or HSE performance. These procedures should
provide effective lines of communicator allowing feedback between the parties involved to facilitate
promulgation of lessons learnt and. tification of appropriate actions to avoid recurrence. Furthermore,
there should be procedures to exgain how the reporting of incidents to relevant bodies or governmental
agencies should be accomplshédhAn incident reporting flowchart can assist with the efficient progression of
all such reporting procedures.
Exercises and Drills
Competence in dealing with emergencies can best be developed through frequent exercises and drs.
Terminal operators should develop realistic scenarios for emergency training and should encourage the
involvernent of local emergency responders, visitng ships and appropriate third parties in drills.
Ariskassessment, as described in 3.1.5, may be referenced to indicate credible emergency situations.
“Terminals should provide training in the following emergency activities as appropriate:
+ Fite fighting using equipment and mobilisation of support craft that will be available in an emergency
+ fire isolation including emergency shut down procedures
+ use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
+ coordination of response with outside bodies and notification procedures
+ rescue, including raining for selected personnel in ile saving from the water
+ spill containment and clean up
+ security incidents
