A.K.N/ PMA-34N Page 185 of 195SINGAPORE COC-1 MASTER ORAL PREPARATION Description of the garbage The garbage is to be grouped into categories for the purposes of this record book as follows: Plastics Floating dunnage, lining, or packing material Ground-down paper products, rags, glass, metal, bottles, crockery, etc. Paper products, rags, glass, metal, bottles, crockery, etc. Food waste Incinerator ash DAAAWNH Entries in the Garbage Record Book Entries in the Garbage Record Book shall be made on each of the following occasions: When garbage is discharged into the sea When garbage is discharged to reception facilities ashore or to other ships When garbage is incinerated Accidental or other exceptional discharges of garbage eo So What are GMDSS areas Al, A2, A3 & Ad Sea Area Al An area within the radiotelephone coverage of at least one VHF coast station in which continuous digital selective calling (Ch.70/156.525 MHz) alerting and radiotelephony services are available. Such an area could extend typically 30 nautical miles (56 km) to 40 nautical miles (74 km) from the Coast Station. Sea Area AZ An area, excluding Sea Area A1, within the radiotelephone coverage of at least one MF coast station in which continuous DSC (2187.5 kHz) alerting and radiotelephony services are available. For planning purposes, this area typically extends to up to 180 nautical miles (330 km) offshore during daylight hours, but would exclude any Al designated areas. In practice, satisfactory coverage may often be achieved out to around 400 nautical miles (740 km) offshore during night time. A.K.N/ PMA-34N Page 186 of 195,SINGAPORE COC-1 MASTER ORAL PREPARATION Sea Area A3 An area, excluding sea areas Al and A2, within the coverage of an Inmarsat geostationary satellite. This area lies between about latitude 76 Degree NORTH and SOUTH, but excludes A1 and/or A2 designated areas. Inmarsat guarantees their system will work between 70 South and 70 North though it will often work to 76 degrees South or North. Sea Area Aa An area outside Sea Areas A1, A2 and A3 is called Sea Area AA. This is essentially the Polar Regions, north and south of about 76 degrees of latitude, excluding any Al or A2 areas. What is FSA? One way of ensuring that action is taken before a disaster occurs is the use a process known as formal safety assessment. This has been described as "a rational and systematic process for assessing the risks associated with shipping activity and for evaluating the costs and benefits of IMO's options for reducing these risks.” It can be used as a tool to help evaluate new regulations or to compare proposed changes with existing standards. It enables a balance to be drawn between the various technical and operational issues, including the human element and between safety and costs. FSA - which was originally developed partly at least as a response the Piper Alpha disaster of 1988, when an offshore platform exploded in the North Sea and 167 people lost their lives - is now being applied to the IMO rule making process. What is FSA? FSA is a structured and systematic methodology, aimed at enhancing maritime safety, including protection of life, health, the marine environment and property, by using risk analysis and cost benefit assessment. FSA can be used as @ tool to help in the evaluation of new regulations for maritime safety and protection of the marine environment or in making a comparison between existing and possibly improved regulations, with a view to achieving a balance between the various technical and operational issues, including the human element, and between maritime safety or protection of the marine environment and costs. A.K.N/ PMA-34N Page 187 of 195,SINGAPORE COC-1 MASTER ORAL PREPARATION FSA consists of five steps: 1. identification of hazards (a list of all relevant accident scenarios with potential causes and outcomes); 2. assessment of risks (evaluation of risk factors); 3. risk control options (devising regulatory measures to control and reduce the identified risks); 4. cost benefit assessment (determining cost effectiveness of each risk control option); and 5. recommendations for decision-making (information about the hazards, their associated risks and the cost effectiveness of alternative risk control options is provided). In simple terms, these steps can be reduced to: 1. What might go wrong? = identification of hazards (a list of all relevant accident scenarios with potential causes and outcomes) 2. How bad and how likely? = assessment of risks (evaluation of risk factors); 3. Can matters be improved? = risk control options (devising regulatory measures to control and reduce the identified risks) 4. What would it cost and how much better would it be? = cost benefit assessment (determining cost effectiveness of each risk control option); 5. What actions should be taken? = recommendations for decision-making (information about the hazards, their associated risks and the cost effectiveness of alternative risk control options is provided). A.K.N/ PMA-34N Page 188 of 195,SINGAPORE COC-1 MASTER ORAL PREPARATION What is port state control? Port State Control (PSC) is the inspection of foreign ships in national ports to verify that the condition of the ship and its equipment comply with the requirements of international regulations and that the ship is manned and operated in compliance with these rules. Many of IMO's most important technical conventions contain provisions for ships to be inspected when they visit foreign ports to ensure that they meet IMO requirements. IMO has encouraged the establishment of regional port State control organizations and agreements on port State control - Memoranda of Understanding or MoUs - have been signed covering all of the world's oceans: Europe and the north Atlantic (Paris MoU); Asia and the Pacific (Tokyo MoU); Latin America (Acuerdo de Vifia del Mar); Caribbean (Caribbean MoU); West and Central Africa (Abuja MoU); the Black Sea region (Black Sea MoU); the Mediterranean (Mediterranean MoU); the Indian Ocean (Indian Ocean MoU); and the Riyadh MoU. 1. Cargo securing manual - contents & requirement? Cargo Securing Manual: Requirements & Purpose of Cargo Sect Manual In accordance with the SOLAS 1974 chapters VI, VII and Code of safe practice for Cargo stowage and securing, cargo units, including containers shall be stowed and secured throughout the voyage in accordance with a Cargo Securing Manual, approved by the Administration. The Cargo Securing Manual is required on all types of ships engaged in the carriage of all cargoes other than solid and liquid bulk cargoes The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that Cargo Securing Manuals cover all relevant aspects of cargo stowage and securing and to provide a uniform approach to the preparation of Cargo Securing Manuals, their layout and content. Itis important that securing devices meet acceptable functional and strength criteria applicable to the ship and its cargo. It is also important that the officers on board are aware of the magnitude and direction of the forces involved and A.K.N/ PMA-34N Page 189 of 195,SINGAPORE COC-1 MASTER ORAL PREPARATION the correct application and limitations of the cargo securing devices. The crew and other persons employed for the securing of cargoes should be instructed in the correct application and use of the cargo securing devices on board the ship. Contents of Cargo Securing Manual Chapter — 1 (General) Chapter - 2 (Securing devices and arrangements) Chapter ~ 3 (Stowage & securing of non-standardized & semi standardized cargo) Chapter — 4 (Stowage & securing of container & standardized cargo) The information contain in the Cargo Securing Manual should include the following items as appropriate: — Details of fixed securing arrangements and their locations. eg. Pad eyes, eye bolts, D-rings, elephant feet etc. — Location and stowage of portable securing gear. — Details of portable securing gear including an inventory of items provided and their strength. — Examples of correct application of portable securing gear on various cargo units, vehicles and other entities carried on the ship. — Indication of the variation of transverse, longitudinal and vertical accelerations to be expected in various positions on board the ship. Cargo Securing Devices are all fixed and portable devices used to secure and support cargo units. Maximum Securing Load (MSL) is a term used to define the allowable load capacity for a device used to secure cargo to a ship. SWL may be substituted for MSL for securing purposes, provided this is equal to or exceeds the strength defined by MSL. Standardized Cargo means cargo for which the ship is provided with an approved securing system based upon cargo units of specific types. Semi-standardized Cargo means cargo for which the ship is provided with a securing system capable of accommodating a limited variety of cargo units, such as vehicles, trailers, etc. Non-standardized cargo means cargo which requires individual stowage and securing arrangements.
