6.3.1 The terminal representative should follow
the agreed unloading plan and should consult with the Master if there
is a need to amend the plan.
6.3.2 The ship is to be kept upright or, if a
list is required for operational reasons, it is to be kept as small
as possible.
6.3.3 The unloading of the port side closely matches
that of the starboard side in the same hold, to avoid twisting the
ship.
6.3.4 Unloading rates and sequences should not
be altered by the terminal unless by prior consultation and agreement
between the master and the terminal representative.
6.3.5 The terminal representative should advise
the master when unloading is considered to be completed from each
hold.
6.3.6 The terminal should make every effort to
avoid damage to the ship when using unloading or hold cleaning equipment
If damage does occur, it should be reported to the master and, if
necessary, repaired. If the damage could impair the structural capability
or watertight integrity of the hull, or the ship's essential engineering
systems, the Administration or an organization recognized by it and
the appropriate authority of the port State should be informed so
that they can decide whether immediate repair is necessary or whether
it can be deferred. In either case, the action taken, whether to carry
out the repair or defer it, should be to the satisfaction of the Administration
or an organization recognized by it and the appropriate authority
of the port State. Where immediate repair is considered necessary,
it should be carried out to the satisfaction of the master before
the ship leaves the port.
6.3.7 The terminal representative should monitor
the weather conditions and provide the master with the forecast of
any local adverse weather condition.
