For Oxygen analyzer, identify the statement that explains the working principle
Electrochemical Sensors: Analyzers of this type determine the oxygen content of a
gas mixture by measuring the output of an electrochemical cell.
Oxygen diffuses through a membrane into the cell and current flows between two
special electrodes separated by a liquid or gel electrolyte.
The current flow is related to the oxygen concentration in the sample and the scale
is arranged to give a direct indication of oxygen content.
The analyzer readings are directly proportional to the pressure in the measuring
cell, and only small errors are caused by normal variations in atmospheric
pressure.

Key Features and Measurement of an Effective Safety Culture;
identify one statement that identifies an effective safety culture
Recognition that all accidents are preventable and only usually occur following unsafe
actions or a failure to follow established procedures
Through mutual respect, increasing confidence in the value of the safety culture results in a
more effective Safety Management System

3.
For an effective safety culture it is essential to have the means to monitor the company‚Äôs
current performance in order to identify ways in which safety can be improved.
A readily comprehensible means of monitoring the effectiveness of safety is the Lost Time
Incident (LTI) rate, which is commonly used across many

from work beyond the date or shift when it occurred.

Pathological: Employees only react to the safety matters not to get caught by regulatory compliance.
Reactive: Employees do not follow the basic safety instructions. The importance of safety is understood only after a serious accident.
Calculative: There is an effort within the company to collect the safety associated data and arrange regular audits. Employees have more understanding about “how the
system works”, but the data are not analyzed to enhance safety.
Proactive: This stage focus more on “what might go wrong in the future” instead of analyzing occurrence data. The interaction between employers and employees
increases.
Generative: This is the most advanced stage a company can have. The company uses human errors to improve safety rather than apportion blame.There is a really good
feedback and reporting system between all workers within the company. The company is always prepared for the unexpected.

Individual is the key

FIRST, you need to have the know-how for the job. If you don’t know what you are doing, don’t know your limits, then you are putting yourself and others at risk. You’re the
hazard. So you need to be honest about what you know you can do safely. Keep your skills up to date. Make sure you have the know-how for the job.
SECOND, you’ve got to co-operate with the people working alongside you. Be open, share your knowledge and experience, if something doesn’t look safe, then say so. Be willing
to listen. If a colleague has something to say to you about safety, then learn from them. That is called cooperation.
THIRD, you’ve got to remember, you always have a choice. Every day you can choose, to cut corners, to take risks, or you can chose to think safe. You can think about the
hazards. Think about what you have to lose, and then you can choose to do the right thing, the safe thing. So, it is your choice.
Your know-how
Your cooperation
Your choice
That is what we mean about a personal responsibility for safety. It starts with us, but it ends with you!

As regulation 12 of Annex 1 of MARPOL, all ships of __________ gross tonnage and above shall be provided with a sludge tank for collection of oil residues
The ballast tanks will have water in them but every ballast tank is filled up completely. Ballast is carried enough to ensure a positive stability in the absence of cargo. This is
150 tonnes deadweight called normal ballast. Some ballast space is left to take in more water in case of an extreme bad weather. This is called heavy weather ballast.
150 gross tonnage
The fixed gas detection system has sampling points in the ballast tanks, one at the top and another at the bottom. Three way valves are provided to change over to the top
sampling point during the ballast voyage so that water will not enter the system. The Chief Officer must ensure this before the ballast tanks are filled up.
400 gross tonnage
The ballast voyage is an opportunity for the crew to gas free the required cargo tanks for man-entry and carry out maintenance, repair works on valves and pipelines or a regular
inspection. Such operation should be carefully planned based on the length of voyage so that the cargo tanks can be inerted again and ready for loading upon arrival at load
port.
Some of the inspection, testing and maintenance works on cargo equipment according to the planned maintenance system (PMS) cannot be carried out during the loaded
voyage.
These works can be carried out during the ballast voyage and documented accordingly.
Cargo operation - Oil tanker

Carrying out cargo operations on an oil tanker involves many complexities and hence it has to be carefully planned special consideration to safety. This topic will familiarize you
with the fundamental aspects of different cargo operations on an oil tanker.
There are many hazards involved in the daily operations on an oil tanker. All prescribed safety procedures and checklists must be followed to ensure safe working atmosphere.
One has to be fully aware of the hazards of the particular ship type and also the cargo carried. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and other relevant information should be
readily available for reference. The crew should familiarize themselves with the relevant MSDS before participating in any operation involving that substance.
Oil cargo is usually pumped into the ship’s tanks using shore pumps and discharged using ship’s pumps. The cargo is carried in fully closed tanks with inert gas filling the space
above the liquid if the flash point is less than 60°C.
Preparation before loading

Utmost diligence is required in planning the operations before hand, with high regard for safety. The following are some of the important steps in repairing the vessel for loading
oil cargo.
The atmosphere in the cargo tanks must be checked for oxygen content less than 8%. Inerting should be carried out to reduce the oxygen content if it is found to be 8% or more.
This 8% is prescribed by the IMO and the vessel will not be permitted to load otherwise.
A detailed cargo plan is prepared by the Chief Officer prior arrival at the load port. The plan must be posted at the Cargo Control Room (CCR) and the crew briefed on its
contents. It should be distributed the personnel directly involved in the operation. They must sign to confirm that they have read and understood the plan.
The Chief Officer also prepares a watch schedule for the crew and the officers in-charge. Prior to commencing the loading, the Chief Officer conducts a cargo safety meeting
with the concerned crew and officers.
The ballast pumps must be tested and in all readiness when arriving at a load port.
The appropriate checklists must be completed at each step in preparation as well as loading. These checklists must be signed and retained for future verification. Some
a
checklists and permits will require the approval of the Master.
ne
The Duty Officer or the Chief Officer must be present at the Manifold while connecting the cargo transfer hose or arm.

3. All tankers & terminals procedures are to be ready for immediate implementation in the event an emergency. Procedures must anticipate & cover all types of emergency which
might be encountered in particular activities of tanker or terminal.
The emergency plan for a ship will be influenced by a number of factors: which one will have the largest impact?
The main procedures will address Fire, while other procedures would address incidents such as hose or pipeline burst, cargo overflow, pump room flooding, men overcome by
gas, breakouts of vessels, weather or blackouts.
Experience and expertise of vessel master The procedures should also cover deployment of fire-fighting equipment, resuscitator & stretchers, together with details of means of escape or exit.

Procedures to be followed in mobilizing the resources of the terminal as required by the incident.
Fire control plans must be permanently displayed in prominent positions showing clearly, for each deck, the location and particulars of all fire-fighting equipment, dampers, controls etc.
Alerting responsibility & procedures.
Fire control plans should also be displayed, or be readily available, outside the accommodation block for the assistance of shore-based fire-fighting personnel.
Each terminal should have an Emergency Team whose duties would involve planning, implementing & revising emergency procedures as well as executing them.
