Ship to Ship Transfer Guide for Petroleum, Chemicals and Liquefied Gases, 1st Edition 2013

Ship to Ship Transfer Guide for Petroleum, Chemicals and Liquefied Gases, 1st Edition, 2013

 The Guide is aimed at providing advice for Masters, Marine Superintendents and others, such as STS service providers and transfer organisers, who may be involved in the planning and execution of STS operations. Particular attention is given to the effective planning of operations and aspects that include risk assessment, ship compatibility and the management of workloads to minimise fatigue.

The Guide contains recommendations on safety, minimum equipment levels and good operating practices, but it is recognised that if more stringent international, national or local regulations apply, they must take precedence.

This Guide is a required publication on the SIRE Vessel Inspection Questionnaires for Oil Tankers, Combination Carriers, Shuttle Tankers, Chemical Tankers and Gas Tankers.
