England +44 171 278 4010 ICS TANKER SAFETY GUIDE (LIQUEFIED CAS) ii PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this publication is to provide those serving on ships carrying liquefied gases in bulk with up-to-date information on recognised good practice. While the recommendations given may not fully cover every possible situation, they do provide the best general guidance currently available on safe procedures in such situations. For the purpose of promoting consistent and uniform safe working practices it is recommended that a copy of this Guide be kept - and used - on board all gas carriers. This is a revision of the first edition of the ICS Tanker Safety Guide (Liquefied Gas) and is intended to be a companion to the ICS Tanker Safety Guide (Chemicals). Where a gas carrier is also certified to carry chemicals the more stringent recommendations should be followed. The Guide deals primarily with operational matters and good safety practices. It does not make recommendations on the construction of gas ships or their equipment; such standards are set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), National Administrations and Classification Societies. The Guide does not address the operation of specific items of equipment, repairs or navigational equipment, although some references are made to these matters. It should be borne in mind that in all cases the advice given in this Guide is subject to any local or national regulations that may be applicable. In addition, terminal operators have their own safety procedures which could affect the cargo handling operations and procedures to be adopted in emergencies. It is necessary for the Master and all personnel to be aware of, and to comply with, these regulations and procedures. They will be highlighted by the use of the Ship/Shore Safety Checklist. The data sheets contained in this Guide outline the main characteristics of individual cargoes, and the action to be taken in an emergency. Matters relating solely to maintenance of the purity of individual cargoes and their condition during carriage have not been included. uploads/Geographie/ guide - 2023-05-30T063112.021.pdf
