Walk a cargo port call
Pick a stage on the staff to read the safe-practice points that matter at that moment. This is an explanation, not course content.
Select a stage on the tide staff to read its safety points.
Stage 01 · Before the berth
Pre-arrival planning
Before the vessel reaches the terminal, the team agrees the cargo plan, how ship and shore will talk to each other and how work can be stopped at once.
- Cargo and ballast plan agreed by the cargo team
- Ship-shore safety checklist prepared
- Communication and emergency stop signals confirmed
- Rest hours and watch rota reviewed against MLC 2006
Stage 02 · Alongside
Berthing and mooring
Mooring is a team job between bridge and deck. Clear, closed-loop communication keeps people out of harm’s way when lines come under load.
- Mooring plan briefed to every station
- Snap-back zones marked and kept clear
- Lines inspected for wear before use
- Bridge and deck use read-back communication
Stage 03 · Manifold
Hose connection
The connection is where cargo meets the shore. A permit to work and a methodical check of every flange keep the transfer leak-free.
- Connections inspected and fully bolted
- Permit to work in place for the task
- Drip trays set and scuppers plugged
- Static and gas safety measures set before valves open
Stage 04 · Cargo flowing
Transfer and monitoring
While cargo moves, the watch tracks levels and pressures against the plan. Ballast is managed in step with cargo so the ship stays stable.
- Tank levels and pressures checked on a set schedule
- Ballast handled in step with the cargo plan
- Atmosphere in cargo spaces watched and logged
- Anyone may stop the job if they see a hazard
Stage 05 · Close out
Disconnect and sail
Closing the port call properly is as important as opening it: drain, blank, verify and record before the vessel casts off.
- Lines drained and purged before breaking the connection
- Valves closed and blanks fitted
- Final checks completed before unmooring
- Handover notes and records completed
