directly assist personnel involved in tanker and
terminal operations, including guidance on,
and examples of, certain aspects of tanker and

copy of ISGOTT is kept and used onboard
every tanker and in every terminal so that
there is a consistent approach to operational
procedures and shared responsibilities for
