The communications should be checked and all signals thoroughly understood by both parties before starting hoses and other equipment should be inspected prior to commencement and at regular intervals during use hoses should be properly connected and supported in such a way as to avoid damage to them loading arms should be continuously watched to ensure that they are free to move with the motion of the ship working areas and moorings should be adequately lit explains that operations should be started slowly to ensure that: hoses and flanges are not leaking oil is directed into the intended pipelines and tanks there is no leakage into other tanks or spaces no oil slicks are visible round the ship's sides excessive pressure is not built up in hoses and pipelines explains that periodic checks should be made during operations to ensure that no oil is leaking through the ship's plating or from the equipment and system states that soundings should be frequently checked states that the transfer rate should be agreed between the ship and shore facilities explains that ample notice to reduce the rate of transfer or to stop should be given lists the circumstances in which operations should be suspended	21C1 21C1.1 21A2.02
