The master and terminal manager, or their representatives, should complete the checklist
jointly. Advice on points to be considered is given in the accompanying guidelines. The
safety of operations requires that all questions should be answered affirmatively and the
boxes ticked. If this is not possible, the reason should be given, and agreement reached
upon precautions to be taken between ship and terminal. If a question is considered to be
not applicable write “N/A”, explaining why if appropriate.
