Publication of the Decree adopting signalling and passing distances for shipping during (de)bunkering operations
2024/68
From

Area Municipality - ANZKG
During (de)bunkering methane, methanol and hydrogen, requirements must be imposed on other port users and passing ships to keep them at a safe distance from these operations. These requirements reduce the risk of collision and ensure that passing ships do not pose a source of ignition in the event of leakage - although such leakage has a very low probability of occurring.
Passing ships are aware of (de)bunkering operations because the ship to be (de)bunkered have to exhibit an additional sign.
