This OCIMF guide is to assist managers of marine terminals to:

Determine the competencies they require for marine terminal staff having responsibilities for the safety of the ship/shore interface. For the purposes of the Guide, the two staff levels considered are ‘Supervisors’ and ‘Operators’
Assess the competence of members of their marine terminal staff
Establish training needs for each member of staff
Develop appropriate training/self-help programmes to satisfy the training needs.

Includes an add-in application to customise the guide for each specific terminal and to manage training records.

C Sources of Further Information

OCIMF was formed in April 1970 in response to the growing public concern about marine pollution, particularly by oil, after the Torrey Canyon incident in 1967. In the early 1970s, a variety of anti-pollution initiatives were starting to emerge nationally, regionally and internationally, but with little coordination. Through OCIMF, the oil industry was able to play a stronger, coordinating role in response to these initiatives, making its professional expertise widely available through cooperation with governments and intergovernmental bodies.

OCIMF was granted consultative status at the IMO in 1971 and continues to present oil industry views at IMO meetings. Since then, its role has broadened to take account the changing maritime activities of its membership. Its remit now covers tankers, barges, offshore support vessels and terminals and its advice extends to issues like shipping in ice and large-scale piracy, which rarely troubled the oil industry when OCIMF was first created in the 1970s.

The current membership of OCIMF comprises 112 companies worldwide.

Today, OCIMF is widely recognised as the voice of the oil industry providing expertise in the safe and environmentally responsible transport and handling of hydrocarbons in ships and terminals and setting standards for continuous improvement. Membership is extensive and includes every oil major in the world along with the majority of National Oil Companies.

OCIMF has much to be proud of. Not only has it contributed to a substantial quantity of regulation at the IMO aimed at improving the safety of tankers and protecting the environment, but it has introduced important new guidance on pressing current issues such as piracy and Arctic shipping. With the process of introducing new Internationally-accepted regulation necessarily slow as it crosses many individual countries and jurisdictions, OCIMF is in the unique position of being able to leverage the expertise of its membership to press ahead with much needed guidance on important industry issues. This provides the means to improve practices in the membership and in the wider industry, and serves as a valuable reference for developing regulation.

Awareness An individual has a good understanding of what is involved in the scope of an Element (see Section 3.2). Candidate A marine terminal staff member subject to training and/or assessment. May also be referred to as a ‘learner’ or ‘trainee’. Competence A specific skill, knowledge or ability that is specified to perform a role to a specified proficiency. Competence Level One of three levels of proficiency described as either ‘Awareness’, ‘Knowledge’ or ‘Skill’. Element The smallest practicable parcel of work for which a competence can be assessed. A total of 92 Elements are defined in this publication. Key Function A general area of activity relating to operation of a marine terminal. Ten Key Functions have been identified in the functional analysis contained in this Guide. Knowledge An individual is able to interpret and evaluate information and advice on the scope and application of an Element’s content (see Section 3.2). Marine Terminal Manager The person, or management team, having overall responsibility for the safe and efficient operation of a marine terminal. Marine Terminal (or Terminal) For the purposes of this publication, a marine terminal is defined as a place where vessels are berthed or moored for loading or discharging cargoes that include crude oil and products, chemicals and liquefied gases. Observation A method of assessing the practical competence of a Candidate. Operator A terminal staff member, who reports to the Supervisor, and has responsibilities associated with the safe management of the ship/shore interface. May also be termed, for example, ‘jetty man’ or ‘berth operator’. Oral Test A method of assessing the knowledge of a Candidate. Questioning A procedure, generally used in conjunction with Observation, to assess the practical competence of a Candidate. Skill An individual is able to carry out consistently the activities addressed by an Element to a required standard (see Section 3.2). Staff Level The grade of marine terminal staff for which a particular competence is appropriate. In this Guide, two staff levels are considered, ‘Supervisor’ and ‘Operator’. Supervisor A terminal staff member having responsibility for the safe management of the ship/shore interface. May also be termed, for example, ‘loading master’, ‘shore officer’ or ‘responsible person’. Training Need A person’s requirement for training in order to be able to do a particular task. In the context of these Guidelines, a person has a need for training if training is the preferred way of enabling that person to become competent in carrying out an Element designated as appropriate to the staff Level concerned. As marine terminal operations can be complex and staff abilities vary, it is unlikely that all marine terminal staff will have exactly the same set of training needs. Unit A group of Elements relating to a defined area of activity. A total of 32 Units have been defined in the Functional Analysis and included in the Competence Framework. Vessel Any vessel, including barges, that is designed to carry oil, liquefied gases or chemicals in bulk. Verifier An individual appointed to ensure that the Assessor has completed his tasks as far as is necessary to assure the appropriate level of competence of marine terminal staff. Written Test A method of assessing the knowledge of a Candidate. vi ©Copyright OCIMF 2013 Abbreviations Within this guide, the following abbreviations are used: ATB Articulated Tug and Barge BCM Bow to Centre Manifold (distance) CCNR Central Commission for Navigation of the Rhine CDI Chemical Distribution Institute COW Crude Oil Washing CTMS Custody Transfer Measurement System DOI Declaration of Inspection (USCG) DWT Deadweight EDP Early Departure Procedure ERS Emergency Release System ESD Emergency Shut-Down ETA Estimated Time of Arrival ETOP Emergency Towing-Off Pennant GOV Gross Observed Volume HMPE High Modulus Polyethylene HSE Health, Safety and Environment HSSE Health, Safety, Security and Environment H2S Hydrogen Sulphide ICS International Chamber of Shipping IG Inert Gas IMO International Maritime Organization ISGINTT International Safety Guide for Inland Navigation Tank-barges and Terminals ISGOTT International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals ISPS(Code) International Ship and Port Facility Security Code ITB Integrated Tug and Barge KPI Key Performance Indicator LFL Lower Flammable Limit LGHP Liquefied Gas Handling Principles LNG Liquefied Natural Gas LOA Length Overall LPG Liquefied Petroleum Gas LSA Life Saving Appliances MARPOL International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships MBL Minimum Breaking Load MBM Multi-Buoy Mooring MSDS Material Safety Data Sheet NOx Nitrogen Oxide OBQ On-Board Quantity OCIMF Oil Companies International Marine Forum PEL Permissible Exposure Limit PERC Powered Emergency Release Coupling PFSO Port Facility Security Officer PPE Personal Protective Equipment PPM Parts per Million P/V Pressure/Vacuum QC/DC Quick Connect/Disconnect vii ©Copyright OCIMF 2013 Abbreviations QRH Quick Release Hook ROB (quantity) Remaining on Board SBM Single Buoy Mooring SBT Segregated Ballast Tank SCM Stern to Centre Manifold (distance) SIGTTO Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators SOx Sulphur Oxide SPM Single Point Mooring SSO Shipboard Security Officer STEL Short Term Exposure Limit STS Ship to Ship SWL Safe Working Load TLV Threshold Limit Value TOV Total Observed Volume TWA Time Weighted Average UFL Upper Flammable Limit UKC Under Keel Clearance VECS Vapour Emission Control System VEF Vessel Experience Factor 25 Section 6 Appendix A ©Copyright OCIMF 2013 Appendix A: The Competence Framework A.1 Overview of the Competence Framework Key Functions [10]Competence Units [32]Elements [92] 2.0 Terminal HSE Management 2.1 Understand the terminal’s HSE Management System 2.2 Understand controls for general hazards at the berth 3.0 Security Management 3.1 Understand ISPS Code requirements 3.2 Understand terminal security system and requirements 5.0 Introduction to Vessels 5.1 Understand marine terminology 5.2 Understand vessel mooring, cargo and ballast systems 5.3 Understand general requirements associated with a vessel’s port call 5.4 Understand requirements of a vessel’s HSSE Management System 6.0 Pre-Arrival Planning and Preparation 6.1 Manage pre-arrival communications 6.2 Undertake pre-arrival inspection 6.3 Confirm arrangements of terminal facilities for transfer 6.4 Ensure availability of personnel and services 9.0 Post-Transfer9.1 Ensure safe completion of transfer operation 8.0 Transfer 8.1 Monitor the safety of the transfer operation 8.2 Take samples at appropriate times 8.3 Ensure the safety of additive/dosing operations 8.4 Ensure safe stopping of transfer 10.0 Emergency Response 10.1 Demonstrate knowledge of terminal’s emergency response plan(s) and procedure 10.2 Demonstrate knowledge of vessel’s emergency response procedures 10.3 Understand emergency shut-down (ESD) procedures 7.0 Arrival 7.1 Understand requirements for support craft 7.2 Ensure mooring operations are conducted safely and efficiently 7.3 Ensure safe access is provided and maintained 7.5 Safely connect transfer equipment 7.6 Connect umbilicals 7.7 Ensure that transfer system is prepared for operation 7.4 Organise pre-transfer conference with vessel personnel and implement ship/shore safety checklist 4.0 Hazards of Products 4.1 Understand hazards of products handled 4.2 Understand hazards and controls associated with static electricity 1.0 Introductional to Terminal1.0 Introduction to Terminal 1.1 Understanding terminal terminology 1.2 Understand terminal equipment 1.3 Understand terminal and port procedures 4 13 2 5 2 1 2 5 2 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 3 6 1 1 1 5 1 7 7 1 1 1 4 5 2 1 26 Marine Terminal Operator Competence and Training Guide ©Copyright OCIMF 2013 A.2 Index of Key Functions, Units and Elements Key Function 1 -
