following jobs:

• Cargo loading / discharging at anchorage / STS transfers

• Adding inhibitors (chemical tankers)
• Emergency cargo pump operations (oil / product / chemical tankers)
• Cargo tank high level alarm failure (tankers)
• Dry-docking
• Launching lifeboat / rescue boat

• Sludge / slops disposal ashore

Note: Review all risk assessments at intervals not exceeding 12 months. Ensure that all
industry developments since the last review are included and risk assessments are
updated to reflect these.
The Regulatory Compliance Centre (RCC) arranges annual review of the generic risk assessment library as follows:

• Distributes every month a set of RA to designated Marine / Technical Superintendents across the SMC, taking
their expertise and experience into account
• MSI and TSI review the risk assessments and revert with their comments
• RCC reviews and analyses the feedback and arranges subsequently for revision of the risk assessments
