The risk assessment should encounter all identified hazards. Consolidated past performance data should be taken into account.

Service Provider

16


The STS location assessment should consider: Weather data; Past Service Provider performance; Reported Incidents; Performance of STBL or Receiving vessels. Other restrictions

17


The Joint Plan prepared by the Service Provider should be assessed by the Master for compliance according to latest OCIMF guidelines and STS PLAN.

18


The Service provider should be assessed with respect to Safety, reliability and efficiency. STS Equipment (Fenders Hoses) Characteristics and Maintenance Certificates should be requested from the provider and be assessed.

Maneuvering Vessel

An obvious observation is that the responsibility lays with the maneuvering vessel rather the constant heading vessel. Although the case was considered to end in favor of the constant heading vessel, a close examination of both Masters responsibilities as per OCIMF guidelines altered the course from the initial case settlement, probably ending as a knock-for-knock.

48


Maneuvering Vessel

WHAT WENT WRONG The primary pennant fender rope broke during the initial contact ( Figure 1) ending in dislocation for fenders. No backup pennant fender rope existed. The condition and type of the forward pennant fender rope was not according to manufacturer requirements, thus not as per ISO 17357:2002. Although secondary fenders were fitted those did not prevent the collision.

FAILURE TO MEET OCIMF GUIDELINES According to OCIMF guidelines the following should have taken place: 1. A joint plan should have taken place prior the STS operation as per paragraph 5.2 of OCIMF guidelines. 2. Both Masters should have requested certificates of fenders, hoses and also the qualification of the POAC according to paragraph 2.5 and 9.1.3 of OCIMF 3. In case the rigging of the fenders was not as per OCIMF guidelines, then the operation should not started. 51


Maneuvering Vessel

WHAT (IF) ?? According to OCIMF guidelines the following would have taken place: 1. A joint plan would have taken place prior the STS operation as per paragraph 5.2 of OCIMF guidelines. 2. Our Master would have requested certificates of fenders, hoses and also the qualification of the POAC according to paragraph 2.5 and 9.1.3 of OCIMF 3. In case the rigging of the fenders was not as per OCIMF guidelines, then the operation would not have started. 4. Most likely past performance data for vessel and service provider would provide an indication . 52
