substandard.
Responsibility for the safe conduct of operations while the ship is at the terminal rests jointly with the
master of the ship and with the responsible terminal representative.

5.2 Responsibility for loading and discharging

Ship`s personnel are advised that responsibility for the loading and discharging operation onboard the
vessel rests solely with the master. It is the responsibility of the ships personnel to operate valves and to
ensure safe and secure connection of all transfer equipment to the ships manifold. Ship`s personnel are
advice that the responsibility for the discharge or escape of oil from a vessel rests with the vessel.
In the event of a prosecution being taken by the appropriate authorities, heavy penalties together with
liability for dispersal costs and damages for pollution damage, is provided for by legislation.
