6.2.3. Guidelines for Data Entry 1
Introduction The STS Plan Mooring Map has been developed as a tool to facilitate preoperational verification regarding the compatibility of two vessels scheduled to conduct an STS operation. In order to determine such compatibility the STS Plan Mooring Map captures key dimensional and mooring equipment related data for the named vessel. This enables concerned parties to compare the data captured for both vessels that are scheduled to conduct an STS operation to verify their compatibility to do so. 1.1 Applicability The STS Mooring Map has been developed for tanker owners and operators and STS Resource Providers who have a vested interest in ensuring the operational integrity and safety of STS Operations conducted utilising their assets and/or for which they have accountability.
