Overview

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 customize the guide for each specific terminal and to manage training records.

The recommendations contained in this guide are generic and designed to be applicable to all marine terminals handling bulk liquids, irrespective of the berth type or range of cargoes handled. It is recommended that the Competence Framework and accompanying training guidance will be tailored by users to the requirements and operations of individual terminals and will assist with the development of site-specific training that addresses site-specific operations.
