oe ROMPETROL INSPECTION COMPANIES SCOPE OF WORK GENERAL INSPECTION GUIDELINES 4. INTRODUCTION/ SCOPE OF WORK The following Scope of Work is intended to address the requirements of ompetrol for the performance of Third Party Inspection Companies appointed on an as required basi. ‘The Scope of Work isnot intended to form a contact between Rompetol and the appointed Inspectors nor i it intended to release third paty inspection companies from thelr professional responsible and labiltes, i all aspects this scope of work is designed to act as a required minimum for the services provided by the Thicd Pasty Inspection Campany and does not release them from any responsibilty to advise, where required, of additonal actions, safeguards and 00d working practices which may be viewed as expedient in serving thelr dty In protecting Flompetrl interests GENERAL These guidelines define ROMPETROL'S standards for cargo inspection covering load / lacharge terminals and shipboard measurements, When a cargo Inspection Is designated, such Inspection wil be a full and complete inspection as defined in the instructions. Specialy, ts ‘means tht all steps shal be winessed (or permed) and reported by the inspectors) as part of the service. ifthe inspector is not able to conduct any given portion of the assignment, ts should be reported and reason given as fo why the particular task could not be performed, IDENTIFICATION AND REPORTING OF SUBSTANDARD PERFORMANCE: When an inspector observes shore or ship measurement practices and laboratory testing procedures tat are net In accordance with the industries recognised practices, then these Geliciencies are to be reported. The inspector will discuss the nature and magnitude of any ‘ecrapancy with appropriate ship/ shore personnel atthe time the discrepancy is nolioad and an attorpt should be made to corect the problem. The inspector will Issue a Letter of Protest, Notice of Discrepancy or Letter of Reserve, as appropiate, for each unresolved problem with Copies of documents Issued being made a fart ofthe inspector’ final official inspection report \When discrepancies cannot be resolved appropriate ROMPETROL supervisory personnel must be advised by tolephone. REPORTS AND CALCULATIONS. The fhal inspection report will include all relevant data obtained and measurements taken, finalized official clculatons and results and should provide explanations for discrepancies and ‘anomalies tht might be inccaive ofan ol loss or measurement problem, Fau02008 PageloO ROMPETROL INSPECTION COMPANIES SCOPE OF WORK "GENERAL Governing practice fr this scope of work shall be 2s descrited in the latest APVASTM Standard Procedures.
