This
information is for the sole use of the Marine Technical Safety Inspectors and
Loading Masters.
From
time to time, we may be asked to qualify a ship for the purpose of using the
Westridge Terminal or, for that matter, any other terminal we may be contracted
to attend in the capacity of Safety Inspector, Pollution Control Officer or
Loading Master.
In
order to undertake this task, certain information must be acquired from various
sources.
These are:
-
The Vessel Questionnaire as sent to the vessel's Owner / Operator and
returned to Kinder Morgan (in the case of Westridge Terminals) Vancouver or
other brokerage or cargo fixing organisation.
-
Equasis - at
www.equasis.org
-
The USCG Port State control Database (PSIX) at
www.cgmix.uscg.mil/psix/

Forms you may be required to complete with respect to the validation of the ship
and in the wake of a cargo operation are as follows:
-
