Carry out pre-arrival procedures in jetty operations
Overview
This standard covers the competences you need to carry out the pre-arrival procedures in jetty operations in accordance with approved procedures and practices.
You will be required to demonstrate that you can:
1 Obtaining pre-arrival information from vessel
2 Obtaining and comparing weather and tidal conditions prior to and for duration of vessel stay
3 Liaising with relevant authorities prior to berthing operations
4 Ensuring availability of equipment, services and personnel for berthing and un-berthing operations
5 Determining product transfer requirements
6 Planning for contingencies during product transfer
During this work you must take account of the relevant operational requirements and safe working practices AS THEY APPLY TO YOU.
The activity is likely to be undertaken by someone in petro-chemical work setting, including individuals working in refineries, chemical plants and tank storage.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
P1 use the correct method of communication
P2 gather and check all of the relevant information concerning the incoming vessel
P3 record the information using the appropriate documentation
P4 obtain forecast of weather conditions prior to and for duration of vessel stay
P5 compare forecast weather conditions with permitted weather conditions
P6 obtain predicted tidal conditions for vessel's transit to and from berth
P7 compare predicted tidal conditions with permitted tidal conditions
P8 confirm that vessel's transit to and from berth is within acceptable weather and tidal conditions, as determined by the Terminal and Port Authority for the vessel and berth
P9 establish estimated arrival and departure times of incoming vessel
P10 ensure that incoming vessel is aware of the Terminal's mooring and berthing requirements
P11 identify the equipment, services and personnel that will be required for berthing and un-berthing operations
P12 check that the equipment, services and personnel will be available for
berthing and un-berthing operations
P13 inspect equipment according to standard operating procedures
P14 obtain accurate details of product/s to be transferred
P15 determine the required transfer conditions and equipment
P16 confirm the availability of required transfer equipment on the vessel and shore
P17 establish the sequence of product/s transfer
P18 refer to relevant sources to gain information concerning hazardous events during transfer operations
P19 obtain all relevant details of intended transfer operation
P20 when appropriate, carry out a risk assessment for the intended transfer operation
P21 when appropriate, record the risk assessment using correct documentation
P22 plan control measures and notification procedures according to the risk assessment
P23 deal promptly and effectively with problems that are your responsibility, and report those that you cannot solve and or not your responsibility to the relevant person
P24 communicate all relevant information to the appropriate people
P25 work safely in accordance with operational requirements
