The screening process of a tanker Introduction Screening process of a tanker involves checking the ship thoroughly before shipment to ensure that it is free from any dangers that might delay the shipment process. The paper covers the vetting process, the procedures of the vetting process, tanker management elements and the Ship Inspection Report Programs. It explains the difference between actual vetting and the entire screening practice in a tanker. Difference between actual vetting inspection and screening process Vetting inspection is simply a part of the overall screening process. Various organizations like, chemical companies, accredited ship inspection-reporting program and accredited chemical distribution program carry out the process (Snaith, 2011). These organizations help to improve safety, security and quality performance of marine transportation and storage. Together, the organizations enhance quality standards in the shipment process. According to Snaith (2011), the organizations offer information on the operation of the vessel and efficiency of operator's management system as input to vetting assessment. Consequently, screening process is the major inspection process that involves inspection of the vessel, issuing of the inspector's report containing the observations, comments, response of the operator and making screening decisions by the individual members of the appropriate system. Screening review process of a ship The screening process involves the
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the economic situation of the company Macedonian Shipping and give a recommendation whether the company should use the motor vessel Tashtego as a freight tender beween Dar-es-Salaam and Zanzibar in East Africa or as a tapioca ship between Balik Papan and Singapore in the East Indies.
During my tenure with NTB, I have undertaken complex engineering and project work within the boundaries of the Navy Technical Regulatory Framework (NTRF) to successfully deliver technical products and services for the acquisition and sustainment of Minor War Vessels (MWV) for the RAN. In the naval context, these includes specification and validation of compliance with Platform System Requirements for the current and future ships through the development of material specification for maritime capability certification assurance process and provide technical naval system advice to naval community that is accurate, on time and pragmatic.
* Equipment, material and the environment are checked and any hazards are identified and removed
Inspection review: Inspection can help improve the quality of documents of the software product. Reviewer can find some defects before it goes into next step which reduce the reworking time and
With the development of the act, laws and regulations addressing issues associated with the prevention, responds and payment of oil pollution were put in place. Such laws and regulations mandated new requirements for companies and their associated personnel involved in the shipment or extraction of oil, such as prevention and response plans, routine documentation and licensing renewal, and evidence of personnel’s competency and knowledge. The act also revised the staffing standards of all foreign shipment vessels, thereby requiring all foreign vessels to meet U.S standards to gain entry into U.S territory. Additionally, these prevention laws and regulations required new standards for shipment vessels and routine inspections. Due to the extreme
6. The risk assessment team will conduct an inspection of the department/area being assessed for risk or observe the process being assessed for risk in action. The members of the risk assessment team will individually document their findings on the “ABC Proactive Risk Assessment Worksheet” (Attachment A). To determine the appropriate score for each identified risk, the reviewer will consider information obtained through a physical tour of the facility, review of annual incident
A task that was assigned to me was to review the environmental requirements for policies and regulations associated with international, national, and local ballast water management regulations to determine applicability to Navy ships. Most of the work associated with this task was associated with examining the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) documents prior to and after the IMO meetings. The IMO MEPC documents from the 67th and 68th sessions were analyzed for environmental
Pipeline is the best alternative and safest mode of transporting fuel compared to freight trains or tanker tracks. However, there are those who argue that it is not safe because of lack of adequate resources to inspect them, as well as the absence of regulations regarding the use of a pipeline to transport fuel. Equally important, another issue is the great hazard to human life and environment that can be difficult to control or eliminate in case of a spill.
This process is when a safety professional is sent to your workplace to determine if management is aware of hazards and safety going on in the workplace. To start off the inspection process, companies will be notified that a compliance inspection is scheduled for them. When the safety professional gets there they will start off with a conference. Following that the inspector is introduced too supervisors and management. Then company personnel will tag alongside of the inspector to escort him around. The inspector will be observing workers and how they do their job. There’s a chance he’ll talk to workers about their point of view of the jobsite safety. He is going to look through past records to see accident or investigation reports. After he is complete with his inspection then they will have closing conference. In the closing conference the company’s violations and appeal rights are discussed. What can’t be discussed are penalties because that is the area director’s job. If safety is taken seriously and all hazards are dealt with then the inspection should go
Imagine living in a third world country with overcrowded houses and no job. That is how, “about 22% of our country’s 5.2 million Native Americans live” (A Program of Partnership With Native Americans). Right now Native American people take up about 2% of all land in North America, most of it being around the area of North and South Dakota. Over the past week there have been protests over the insertion of an oil pipeline through the Native American people, mainly the Standing Rock tribe’s, sacred land. This new pipeline would, “threaten water supplies for the Standing Rock Sioux and millions of others downstream, and its route would destroy tribal burial grounds and sacred cultural land” (Healy). Many of the Native American people, along

Of the all the oil fields throughout Canada, 25% are offshore locations in Newfoundland. 8% comes from either BC or Ontario and 67% of all onshore oil fields are in Alberta, which is defined by the term “Oil Country”. From these locations, pipelines are used to transport liquid oil to refineries. It is at these refineries the process of being turned into gasoline, diesel, and petroleum takes place. After this process, petroleum products are sent to distribution centres.
Every firm would love to invest in shipping industry due to large profits involved. However this would seem easy but practically it is lot more difficult and virtually impossible to establish in container line business. The problem pertains to large capital investments in form of vessel and container procurements and risk of operating vessels. Even if we take the examples of biggest companies
