For all petroleum tankers, the relationship between the ship and the shore is the key item that determines the safe operation of all activities at a jetty. Both ship and shore personnel must understand each other's role and have confidence in each other's ability. Part of ensuring this relationship is set on a proper professional basis is the completion of the ship-shore safety checklist. As this training package makes clear, this does not mean just sitting down and ticking boxes, it requires a full tour of inspection to ensure that all valves, flanges, pumps and other items are correctly positioned and working properly. Brief references to actual case studies show the penalties that can be incurred when the check list has not been given proper attention.
