VESSEL SAFETY Version Jul-2015 Version Jul-2015

A good quality stowage plan must be provided to ATI. Vessel may be asked to rework the cargo if there are major deviations from the presented plan. Version Jul-2015 Version Jul-2015 Safety is an absolute priority in ATI. On the 15 th of September, 2013, a vessel crew member was killed during cargo discharge operations. A major contributory factor to the incident is the substandard lighting condition inside the vessel. In our effort to prevent similar incidents, ATI is issuing this safety handout as a guide for vessels on various unsafe conditions inside a vessel and the safety requirements that must be implemented to address them. In the event that similar unsafe conditions are found in any vessel, ATI reserves the right to cease operations until the unsafe condition is fully rectified. Please note that unsafe conditions are not limited to the circumstances included in this handout. Operations may be delayed or may cease if the safety of personnel are compromised. We will issue updates of this handout to capture other situations that may be observed in the future. If you have any questions or have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to call Loc. 332 to speak to an ATI Safety Officer.
