If the ship is to be loaded at two or more ports, confirm that the valves to the tanks that have been
loaded are fully closed and then open the valves to the empty tanks to be loaded.
Use sealing tape on important valves to effectively prevent contamination of oil.
4) Communications with the Loading Master
When valve lineup (excluding lineup of gate valves) is completed, notify the Loading Master.
5) Opening the gate valves
Open the gate valves after discussion with the Loading Master.

initial loading rate (minimum rate) confirmed at the meeting before the start of the loading work.
* About safety measures immediately after loading cargo
Although there are various concepts about the number of valves in the receiving tanks at the start of
loading, it should be understood that in principle, the terminal is basically in charge of the pump
operation.
Although the initial loading rate has been confirmed at the meeting before the loading work, adequate
care should be taken to ensure safety immediately after the start of the loading work assuming that
"there may be an error in the operation" at the terminal.
If the valves of all tanks to be loaded are opened, impurities such as moisture is not restricted to a
single tank but become dispersed in all the tanks. However, the method of starting the cargo handling
operation by opening the valves of all the tanks should be adopted giving priority to safety during the
initial loading operation.
1) Monitoring the shore connection
Always confirm that oil passes through the manifold immediately after loading has started.
There is a grave danger of oil leakage to occur at the Chiksan arm or at the hose connection
immediately after the start of loading work, therefore careful monitoring is necessary. Monitoring
of vibrations is necessary, in addition to monitoring of oil leakage.
2) Checking the inflow
Check that oil has passed through the piping system to be used and has entered the tank to be loaded.
3) Inflow check and trim effects
Except for the slop tank and some other tanks, the float gauge is installed close to the aft bulkhead
of all tanks generally. Therefore, when the ship is trimmed by stern, the inflow of cargo oil can be
checked with comparative ease. However, if the ship is on even keel, the check is more difficult
and takes comparatively more time.
4) Monitoring oil leaks
When loading starts, continue monitoring oil leaks in all the pipelines generally. Increase the
loading rate if no abnormality is detected.
A very small oil leak in the manifold connection can be corrected by additional tightening. Oil
leak can easily occur if maintenance of the terminal equipment is inadequate or if the equipment
has deteriorated due to aging.
After notifying the Loading Master, the loading should be stopped and measures should be taken
such as connections should be re-done and packing renewed. In the worst case, the defective
Chiksan arm or the defective hose should not be used. Loading may be continued without
replacement, but in such a case, the documents mentioned in "3.2.2 Documents to be prepared" on
P2-8 of the "Loading Section" should be prepared. If the cargo handling work is anticipated to be
delayed, the delay should be reported immediately according to the method pointed out by the

3.2.
(4) Realize conditions for effectively preventing oil spill by adjusting ballast or by other
means.
(5) Reduce the inert gas pressure over all the cargo tanks and lines in the tanker to the
minimum positive pressure.
3) Report the leak/spill to:
a) Harbor master and person in charge of the terminal (if within the port premises)
b) Management company (SI)

c) P & I Club
d) Other organizations specified by the Company
(Refer to "List of Addresses" attached to the "Oil Spill Response Procedures.")
4) Response when oil spill other than from the ship is detected
Regardless of whether the ship is underway or at anchorage, if a spill is detected from another ship,
the Master should adopt the measures given below to safeguard the ship's interests and to ensure
that his ship is not responsible for the spill.
a) Report the facts to the Company.
b) If the volume of the oil spill is large, report to the Harbor Master or the Maritime Safety
Organization.
c) If possible, retrieve samples of the spilled oil.
d) Check and record the names of ships in the vicinity.
e) If necessary, prepare the Statement of Fact and Letter of Protest.
f) Notify the P&I representative.
3.2.2 Documents to be prepared
If the cargo handling operation is delayed, the charterer and the shipowner should be notified
immediately. The ship should prepare the documents mentioned below and take the signatures of the
terminal's representative and the agent. If signatures cannot be taken, the ship should send a telex under
instructions of the charterer or the shipowner.
1) Remarks of the Time Sheet
2) Statement of Fact
3) Letter of Protest (including Slow Loading)
4) Letter of Protest by Telex
