2.12.6.2 LOADING, STOWAGE AND LASHING PLANS

If loading is carried out by shore personnel the Master should, prior to commencement of the loading operations, insist upon being provided with
  • a written loading plan
  • detailed stability calculations
  • detailed drawings of lifting points and loading gear intended to be used
  • lashing arrangements with lashing points indicated
  • a feasibility study on the loading process from charterers and cargo interests.

    The Master should not hesitate to query the plans and ask for clarification prior to the commencement of loading or discharging.
