All records will be sent to TRSDC as compliance evidence of required maintenance.

7.16. Driving conditions

• Driving in fog, dust or reduced visibility
When fog or reduced visibility is encountered during a journey, speed should be reduced to allow a
safe breaking distance to be maintained. Light should also be switched on, especially front and rear
high intensity lights. Do not use the full beam, as the light will be reflected from the fog droplets
resulting in further diminished visibility.
• Driving in rain
If rain is encountered, then speed should be reduced. Stopping distances are significantly increased
by wet surfaces and therefore the distance between vehicles must be increased. Lights should be
switched on and overtaking should be avoided. General rule is to maintain a 2 second gap between
each vehicle, but this should be doubled in wet weather
• Sand on the road
Drivers may encounter a buildup of windblown sand on some roads and they must be alert to these
conditions. Speed must be reduced to prevent potential loss of control and to give more time to take
safe evasive action.

7.17. Speed Limits

Drivers shall follow the speed limits signs and maintain the speed. Drivers shall obey all traffic signs
at junctions marked by “STOP” sign, the vehicle must be brought to a complete stop regardless of
the presence or absence of traffic. The maximum speed will be 60 km/h at Main off road and to be
reduced gradually to reach 40 km/h and then 20 km/h at working areas.

7.18. Noise related requirements

• Operators shall be instructed to use horns or other signaling devices that produce a sound sufficiently
loud to serve only as a danger warning, and not for any other purpose.
• Regular maintenance should be conducted to ensure that all plant and equipment employed on the
project complies with the relevant noise limits that apply to that equipment. Particular attention
should be given to the exhaust systems on engines.
• Equipment’s shall be turned off when not in use.

7.19. Air Emissions related requirements

the individuals involved will be terminated for cause, disciplined otherwise, or returned to regular
work status.

8. MARINE TRANSPORTATION
The routes that will be followed by the vessels are contained in Appendix B.
8.1. General requirements
• Route that will be followed by the vessels in accessing the island shall be established and marked
with buoys.
• The movement of the transportation boat shall be confined only at the established route.
• The speed of the marine vessel shall be at the minimum to minimize the impact on the marine fauna
and flora.
• Anchoring of the vessels shall be only at the designated area. The anchoring area shall be detailed in
a specific Method Statement for Vessel Anchoring and Mooring.
• Areas with sensitive habitats such sea grass and mangrove are not to be used for anchoring. Areas of
sea grass and mangrove are usually visible as dark patches on the seabed. Damage from an individual
anchor can potentially set off progressive sea grass and mangrove loss over a wide area.
• Contractor and all its Subcontractor that will access the islands will be fully equipped with proper /
approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

8.2. Marine Environmental Preservation and Protection

The transition from offshore waters, through tidal areas to islands and the mainland provides us with
a fascinating cross-section of habitats within a very varied ecosystem.
Several habitats for example mangroves, coral reefs and sea grass beds are of the highest importance
to biodiversity in this area and several rare and endangered species are found within this area.
The pollution of waterways can spoil not only the environment but also boating and other on-water
activities. Recreational and commercial boaters have a responsibility to properly dispose of vessel
waste.
The Contractor will ensure strict adherence to the Project rules and regulation.

8.3. Sewage Disposal

It is illegal to discharge raw sewage into waterways, see also TRSDC No Discharge into the Lagoon
Policy. Treated sewage should never be discharged in inland waterways, coastal lagoons, marine

parks or aquatic reserves, marinas, anchorages, swimming beaches or aquaculture sites. Sewage will
be disposed of onshore in accordance with the Umluj Local Authority Permit requirements by a
permit authorized waste management company, see Waste Management Plan.

8.4. Disposal of Waste

It is illegal to pollute waterways in any way. Environmental practices on and around the water shall
be applied to preserve waterways. All rubbish on board the boat shall be collected and dispose of it
properly ashore in the Umluj area using a permitted waste management company, see Waste
Management Plan.
Bilges shall be kept clean to prevent pollutants being discharged overboard. Remove the boat from
the water and clean it in places where debris can be captured and disposed of properly.

8.5. Aquatic Biosecurity

Contractor will use only dedicated channels for boating and will take all proper preventive
measures to minimize the impact of boating on the sea grasses and mangroves and other
marine habitats.
Contractor will avoid introducing pests and disease which pose environmental, social and economic
threats by impacting the natural balance of aquatic flora or fauna.
Boat drivers shall inspect regularly all parts of the boats.

8.6. Protected Aquatic Animals

Vessel/boat operators must keep an active lookout to avoid harming of all native mammals, birds and
reptiles (protected in the area). Protected aquatic animals include whales, seals, dolphins, turtles, as
well as a variety of water birds. The main preventive measures are the use of Protected Species
Observer, Speed restrictions, avoidance of collisions, reducing noise exposure and soft-start / halting
works when protected species enter exclusion zones. For full details, refer to the Protected Species
Management Plan
All vessels (powered and un-powered) must stay at non disturbance/safety distance from animals and
water birds. Protected species observer or marine mammal observer will be on-duty whenever vessels
are moving or marine equipment is operating.

8.7. Boating safety requirements

8.8. General safety
• Boats will be operated only by authorized personnel.
• Be alert to possible riskier situations while boating.
• Always operate the boat at a safe speed; stay within the speed limits.

Traffic Management Plan Page No. 20 of 35

• Overloading the boat/vessel/barge/landing craft because it can contribute to capsizing or swamping

of a vessel. It is mandatory to:
o Never load the boat with passengers or materials/equipment beyond its safe carrying capacity.
Too many people or too much gear can cause the boat to become unstable, resulting in capsize or
swamping.
o Always balance the boat to maintain proper trim and use the boat / vessel’‟s Safety Label or
manufacturer’s plate to determine the maximum number of persons you can safely carry in calm
weather or the maximum weight allowed.
• Stow heavy items in the boat
• Crossing bars, and high risk of capsize or swamping.

8.9. Lifejackets
Lifejackets are the single most important safety item on any boat and there should be one available
for each person on board.
It is mandatory to:
• Take on board lifejackets for all persons
• Wear always a lifejacket when on board.

8.10. Check weather and local conditions

Before going out on boat, vessel master will check the weather forecast information. Stay alert to
weather conditions; HSE Department will monitor the Meteorology for any severe weather warnings
issued and inform, amongst others, Marine Foremen / Superintendent and Construction Manager.
Stay ashore if warnings are current or the weather appears doubtful.
Verify local knowledge of boating areas; this applies to both boating on the open waters or on
channels. Conditions on channels may be affected by low water levels (mangrove areas).
Basic things to take note of when planning the boating trip:
• Current warnings for the boating area
• Weather conditions affecting safe navigation
• The wind trends
• The wave conditions
• Prevision of the next high and/or low tide

8.11. Check of the craft and safety equipment

• Check the craft thoroughly in all respects before heading out on the water.
• Make sure that the boat/barge/landing craft is appropriate for the weather conditions.
• Check the motors are running properly. Do not set out until any engine trouble has been fixed.
• Check the fuel; the boat should have enough fuel for the return trip plus a margin of at least 50%. If
necessary, store fuel reserve below deck.
• Check if all safety gears are in good condition and ready for use. Store lifejackets in proper way on
board and check distress flare; if it has expired will not do the job it was designed for/to help save a
life.

8.12. Keep in touch / Use of Radios

Complete the Journey Management Plan (Appendix C) with the following:
• Vessel/boat details.
• The number of passengers, type of load and weight
 SAUDI ARCHIRODON LTD. R12-T08C05 - Shurayrah Island Stage 1

ARCO Ref. No. 11009-SAR-HSE-PLN-003 00
Traffic Management Plan Page No. 21 of 35

• Destination
• Purpose of boating
• Expected time of arrival and return.
Radios are compulsory for all boat/vessels operating out at sea and are mandatory for anyone
proceeding offshore. They provide a means of advising shore stations of itinerary, checking of
boating weather conditions and navigational warnings. Also are used to making distress calls, alerts
which can be picked up by other vessels in the area or by shore stations. Communication shall be
held through handheld radio VHF through Frequencies #71 and #16 (emergency).
VHF & HF radio frequencies provide a wide coverage. The Contractor shall refer to the Coast Guard
the mandatory instructions for VHF frequency use.

8.13. Boat operator certification/license

The speed, at which the boat is driven, and its length and capability determines the type of license of
the marine boat/craft driver. SAG laws and Project Directives must be strictly followed.

8.14. Fire Fighting

All vessels/boats/landing crafts with an electric start motor, gas installation, fuel stove or battery must
carry a fire extinguisher. Fire extinguishers carried on board must be appropriate for the type of fuel
carried on the vessel. Additional fire extinguishers may need to be carried if there are several fuel
types onboard or the size of the vessel requires it.
Regular maintenance checks are recommended to ensure the charge indicator is registering in the
green zone. If it is in the red zone, the extinguisher needs to be replaced.

8.15. Fresh Drinking Water

Two liters of fresh drinking water per person must be carried on all boats/vessels operating on any
open waters. The water is kept in a water dispenser and supplied into re-useable water bottles.

8.16. Safety labeling

A Safety Label must be placed where it can be seen by the all persons onboard the vessel/boat. The
label indicates the capacity of the vessel/boat intended as the maximum number of people to be
carried on, the maximum load/weight admitted as well as other important safety information.
The capacity is determined by the manufacturer or, if not specified, by the table on the reverse of the
Safety Label. The maximum number of persons for good weather conditions is shown. A reduction
in the maximum number must be made in adverse weather conditions or when on open waters.

8.17. Sound Signal

It is mandatory to have some means of providing a sound signal, such as an air-horn or whistle

8.18. Waterproof Floating Torch

A floating waterproof torch must always be carried on all vessels and be operational.
A torch is a valuable safety device for signaling, for use as navigation light if poor natural lightning
and when working on the engine. Spare bulbs and batteries should be carried on board.

8.19. First aid kit

A complete First Aid kit shall be kept aboard, appropriate to the size of the boat.

8.20. Tool kit

Although not part of the safety equipment requirements, every vessel/boat should have a tool kit. The
basic items in a tool kit include a spark plug spanner and spark plugs (for petrol engines), small
adjustable spanner, pliers, metal file, wire brush, hacksaw and blade, Phillips head and standard
screwdrivers, spare fuel line, electrical wiring, insulation tape and a can of water repellent.

8.21. Navigation marks and signs

A system of buoys, shapes and lights is used on site to assist safe navigation.
• The shapes and lights used are those that are typically employed in navigation to inform other sea
users of the status of a vessel or to communicate (as a back-up on in the absence of more advance
communication tools, such as VHF radio) with other parties at sea.
• Marker buoys are used to inform sea users of obstacles, such as anchor wires, and no-go areas, such
as shallow coral reefs. Marker buoys are frequently removed by third parties and used for marking
the location of their fishing nets.
Navigation lights are mandatory for all marine vessels, irrespective of whether self-propelled
or not. The lights show the presence of a vessel and provide an indication of the dimensions
of a vessel, its starboard (green light) and port site (red light), thus the orientation / direction
of the vessel can be determined.

Figure 1: Navigation lights on a couple of vessels used on site.

Signaling flags are available on all larger tugboats, whereas smaller tugboats, operating exclusively
within coastal waters, do not usually carry and use such flags. The use of flags becomes increasingly
rare.

9. MARINE EMERGENCY
9.1. Search and Rescue
Before a search can be initiated, someone must know that the Boat/vessel either in trouble or overdue.
For this reason, the Journey shall be always planned, authorized, recorded and communicated - Refer
to Journey Management Plan (Appendix C).
There are several ways that a search and rescue Team can be alerted, including radio distress calls,
distress flares, overdue Reports (missing reports of arrival) and activation of an Emergency Position
Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB), which is a safety device carried by a vessel to alert search and
rescue services and allow them to quickly locate the boat in the event of an Emergency (if applicable).
The Boat Operator and the Crew members shall be properly trained and certified as per courses listed
below:
• Fire Fighting Essential
• First Aid Awareness

9.2. Radio Emergency Words

All radio emergency calls should be repeated three times using the following words:
MAYDAY-MAYDAY- MAYDAY
A MAYDAY call denotes an emergency involving imminent danger to a vessel/boat and the
people on board.

9.3. Fire Fighting and Fuels on Board Vessels

A fire on a ship/boat is one of the most dangerous incidents which can happen on board. If the fire is
detected in good time, the crew can prevent larger damages by taking immediate measures such as
fighting the fire by use of extinguishers or a fire hose under breathing protection (if applicable). If
the fire has already spread, professional aid is absolutely needed, which can be rendered by another
vessel / ship.
The most common causes of shipboard fire are the most obvious: lack of maintenance, lack of
attention when handling/transporting materials on board, electrical faults, fuel fires etc.
Fuel fires aboard small vessels/boats spread rapidly and generate intense heat. Several fires or
explosions incidents occur immediately after vessels have been refueled.
Boating fires can be prevented as follows:
• Have an approved fire extinguisher (or more), service it regularly and know how to use it.
• Keep the bilge, engine compartment and engine clean and free of combustible materials.
• Check engine compartments are properly ventilated, especially on hot days and when recently
refueled.
• Use a “blower” or ventilation system prior to starting the engine or operating any electrical
equipment.
• Don’t store your extinguisher close to the stove or engine compartment.
• Check your fuel system regularly for leaks.
• Check the electrical system for faults and keep all components in a clean state.
• Don’t fill your fuel caddies in the boat, always take them ashore when fueling.
