IAPH announced the publication of a total of six new
checklists created and developed by the IAPH Clean Marine Fuels Working Group,
which cater for both Ship-to-Ship and Truck-to-Ship bunkering operations of
liquefied gasses as a marine fuel at ports.
These new bunkering checklists, which are applicable to LNG, but also to
Liquid Hydrogen,will contribute in a very concrete way towards the energy
transition of shipping
IAPH Managing Director Patrick Verhoeven, commented.
Ship to Ship checklist
The checklist is available in two alternative
versions. Ports or other competent authorities may choose either version A or B
to be applicable for their port.
- Version A has been developed specific for
project-based bunkering of vessels alongside a quay where the site
operator is fully engaged in, and has a shared responsibility for, the
safety of the STS bunkering.
- Version B has been developed specific for the bunkering
of vessels alongside a “Bunker Ready Terminal”.
IAPH recommends that terminals should be involved in the process to
enable and ensure safe bunker operations at their berths. The choice as to
which checklist is to be used in a port should be based on the formal
responsibilities of the terminal, which may depend on national or regional
legislation.
If the formal role of the terminal includes certain responsibilities
with respect to the STS bunker operation, STS bunker checklist ‘A’ would be the
checklist of choice.
In case the terminal only is to be informed on which operational risk mitigation measures are to be taken during STS bunker operations, version ‘B’ would be checklist of choice.
