Parent topic: Chapter 12 Riser Systems

10.1 Operation procedures

10.1.1 A written operation procedure is to be prepared and issued prior to the riser system being put into operation. One operation procedure may, where applicable, cover several riser systems of the same type.

10.1.2 Where a riser system forms part of a system covering other lines, platforms, terminals, etc., the operating procedure is to embrace those parts of the entire system which are relevant to the operation of the riser system.

10.1.3 In order to minimise the risk of damage to the riser system, it is the Owner's/Operator's responsibility to ensure that supply boat approach routes to the installation are strictly controlled. A mooring procedure is to be produced which clearly indicates safe and hazardous anchoring areas.

10.1.4 Operation procedures are to be written in English with translations into other languages, as necessary, for the operating personnel involved.
