Guidance to questioner
Q1 Are there measures in place to test the atmosphere of an enclosed space to confirm it is
safe to enter?
Tanks shalll be tested before entry and at regular intervals and after work breaks , all
applicable gases shall be recorded .
Q2 Are crew members responsible for testing the atmosphere in enclosed spaces trained in
the use of the equipment referred to in Question 17
‘All crewmembers that are assigned to use the equipment for gas measuring must be fully
familiar with the use a, Logs of training and use of instruments must be maintained on
board, Ensure that everyone have completed Seagull module 127 in accordance with the
training matrix.
Please discuss the dangers different cargoes poses and under what conditions Lack of
oxygen can be encountered. Also discuss where you can encounter elevated levels of carbon
monoxide , H2S and flammable gases.
Q3* Are the crew members familiar with the arrangements of the ship, as well as the location
and operation of any on-board safety systems or appliances that they may be called upon to
use for enclosed space entry?
Ensure that everyone is familiar with locations ad use of BA sets /Stretchers block and
tackles and Oxygen and resection equipment . Also discuss commination both internally and
who to contact externally . (shall be included in risk assessments)
Q4* Are crew members responsible for enclosed space emergency duties, familiar with
those duties?
‘All Crew members must be able to tell the inspector what to do in case of emergency
including alerting procedures , donning of equipment and use of rescue equipment.

LAUNCH OF JOINT CONCENTRATED INSPECTION CAMPAIGN ON
CREW FAMILIARIZATION FOR ENCLOSED SPACE ENTRY
The Maritime Authorities of the Tokyo and the Paris Memoranda of
Understanding (MoU) on Port State Control will launch a joint Concentrated
Inspection Campaign (CIC) on Crew Familiarization for Enclosed Space Entry.
The aim of the CIC is to ensure effective procedures and measures are in place
to safeguard seafarers on board ships when entering and working in enclosed
spaces and to check compliance with the applicable requirements of the
SOLAS Convention.
This inspection campaign will be held for three months, commencing from 1
‘September 2015 and ending 30 November 2015.
The ship’s procedures and measures that are in place with respect to enclosed
spaces will be checked in detail for compliance with the requirements of SOLAS
during a regular Port State Control inspection, conducted under the new inspection
regime (NIR) within the Tokyo and Paris MoU regions.
Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) will use a list of 10 selected questions to
establish that crew members with enclosed space duties are familiar with relevant
equipment and have received training to carry out their duties and identify and
understand the hazards associated with entry into enclosed spaces. Additionally
there are questions aimed at gathering information about the existence of measures
in place to test the atmosphere of an enclosed space to confirm it is safe to enter and
remains safe whilst persons are within the space.
If deficiencies are found, actions by the port State may vary from recording a
deficiency and instructing the master to rectify it within a certain period of time to
detaining the ship until serious deficiencies have been rectified. In the case of
detention, publication in the monthly detention lists of the Tokyo and Paris MoU web
sites will take place.
It is expected that the Tokyo and Paris MoUs will carry out approximately 10,000
inspections during the CIC.
The results of the campaign will be analyzed and findings will be presented to the
governing bodies of the MoUs for submission to the IMO.ntact
