Why the Shift to ISGOTT 6?
The new guidelines introduce essential changes designed to mitigate risks and enhance safety protocols across tanker and terminal operations:
- Human Factors: A central focus on understanding risks posed by human behavior to improve safety management.
- Legislative Updates: Revised standards for cargo transfer hoses and enhanced guidance for enclosed space entry and firefighting.
- Enhanced Checklists: Significant updates to the ship/shore safety checklist (SSSCL) and bunker operations checklists.
Digitizing the Ship-Shore Interface
Smartflow provides a comprehensive digital solution that streamlines compliance from pre-arrival to departure. By replacing error-prone paper processes with consistent digital workflows, terminals can significantly improve overall safety and efficiency.
Key Benefits for Operations:
- Pre-arrival Communication: ISGOTT 6 emphasizes that communication must start before a vessel reaches the terminal. Digital formats allow loading masters and captains to identify potential issues before they become actual problems.
- Automated Checklists: Smartflow automatically displays relevant checklist sections based on the specific product being transferred, ensuring no critical step is missed.
- Accountability: Both parties sign off on individual checklists with digital initials to ensure authenticity and clear accountability.
- Role-Based Access: Personnel only see and edit data relevant to their specific roles—whether they are loading masters, vessel captains, or terminal supervisors.
Empowering Your Team
- Planners: Request pre-arrival documentation and share terminal booklets digitally in advance.
- Loading Masters: Execute joint checks on tablets, even without immediate network connectivity; data syncs once back in range.
- Vessel Captains: Receive in-app or email notifications for requested pre-arrival information or repetitive checks and access print-ready completed forms for their records.
What You Solve and What You Gain
By adopting the Smartflow Digital ISGOTT solution, terminals can reduce costs through efficiency, potentially saving up to 70% of time by decreasing idle time and streamlining processes.
You gain a one-stop shop for all ship-shore documentation, including loading plans and hourly logs, fully tailored to your terminal’s specific branding and safety standards. This digital ecosystem ensures that every vessel visit meets the highest levels of quality and regulatory alignment
