2.16.6.4 DAMAGE TO SHORE INSTALLATIONS AND PROPERTY

Damage to shore installations and property may be caused by

the vessel’s equipment such as cranes and derricks coming into contact with shore installations

ranging alongside which may cause – mooring lines to part
– discharging or loading hoses to break resulting in oil or chemical spills and consequently pollution
– equipment such as rented gangways or conveyor belts etc., to break and/or fall into the water.

If container gantry cranes are damaged, the terminal operator will be deprived of their use which may result in substantial financial losses. Accordingly, the vessel’s derricks, cranes and other hoisting equipment should only be moved

by the vessel’s crew subject to a permit-to-work procedure

provided a responsible officer is supervising the operation.

All mooring lines should be kept tight at all times to prevent the vessel ranging alongside and tidal conditions must be taken into account.

In the event of damage to third party property or FFO please see section 3.4 Damage to FFO – property damage.
