[27/05, 11:18] +91 99870 98332: 1. Supervision of Cargo Operations • Ensure proper planning and safe handling of loading and unloading operations. • Coordinate with the stevedores (dock workers) and the port authority. • Make sure that cargo is handled as per safety standards to prevent accidents or injuries. • Ensure that dangerous goods (if any) are handled according to IMDG Code and port regulations. ⸻ 2. Ensuring Safety of Dock Workers • Chief Officer must ensure a safe working environment for dock labour on board, including: • Proper lighting and ventilation. • Availability and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). • Safe access to cargo holds and decks. • Report and rectify unsafe conditions. ⸻ 3. Documentation and Compliance • Maintain and provide required documentation like cargo plans, manifest, stability calculations, and safety reports to port and labour authorities. • Ensure that cargo securing manuals and safety instructions are followed by ship’s crew and dock workers. ⸻ 4. Liaison with Dock Labour and Port Authorities • Act as the point of contact for the ship regarding cargo and labour matters. • Communicate with the Port Labour Board and other agencies about labour allotment, shifts, and any issues arising during operations. • Respond to inspections by dock labour officials, ensuring compliance with employment and safety standards. ⸻ 5. Accident Reporting and Emergency Response • In case of an accident involving dock workers on board, the Chief Officer is responsible for: • Providing first aid or emergency assistance. • Reporting the incident to port and labour authorities. • Participating in any investigation or inquiry. ⸻ 6. Avoiding Exploitation and Ensuring Fair Labour Practice • While this is more of an administrative duty for the employer, the Chief Officer is expected to: • Ensure that no undue pressure is exerted on dock labourers to exceed work limits or ignore safety protocols. • Report any violations of labour rights or disputes to the Master, who may take it up with the agent or labour board. ⸻ Note: While the Dock Labour Act primarily regulates employment conditions of dock workers through the Dock Labour Boards, the ship’s officers (especially the Chief Officer) are indirectly responsible for ensuring a safe and compliant working environment for these workers when on board.

QC Stability criteria for Chemical tanker (started with GM...area upto to 40 deg...) QC Drydocking stability (Answered about calculation of GM, Keeping lower trim, higher GM, low FSE)....QC Margin line definition and significance ( I said refrence for intact stability calculation...Asked where is it used in intact stability...I corrected " Damage Stability" Seemp ( Explained all 3 parts in short)....QC Annex 6 amendments ( Medi area and BDN)....QC Surface preparation ( Solvent cleaning, power tool , sand blasting, hydroblaster, as per rust scale etc)....QC Docking plan and content ( almost half things I said)...QC SEP ....

Ensure spares etc, orderd. Airfreight same to connect vessel prior departure if possible else same story next port of call. If unable before dep, ensure delivery in transit eg GIB/SZC/SIN etc * Flag might attend to verify proper operation after repairs. They will conduct operational test. Very difficult, rather impossible to show retention on board on cargo ships. Possible on Ro-Ro / Pax / Ro-Pax because arrival and dep displacements are nearly same. There you will: * Inform Flag (via Tech Super) and local authorities (via agent) * _propose_ - seal BW overboard, inform seal beforehand to authorities, ensure internal transfer only, record such in BWRB, ensure seal always locked (for any surprise inspection) sail out , pass EEZ, only then remove seal. * Also expect PSC on docking. Ensure spares etc, orderd. Airfreight same to connect vessel prior departure if possible else same story next port of call. If unable before dep, ensure delivery in transit eg GIB/SZC/SIN etc * Flag might attend to verify proper operation after repairs. They will conduct operational test.
