This is an inherent danger associated with the carriage of chemical cargoes and noxious liquid substances. If a dangerous cargo reaction or contamination of a cargo yielding a hazardous condition occurs, the consequences to the safety of the vessel, its crew and nearby shore personnel will be paramount, and must take priority. However, a result [...]

Static accumulator oils may be electrostatically charged by pipeline flow. When the charged liquid flows through non-conducting flexible ship/shore connections part of the cargo may be picked up by intermediate metal flanges and other metal parts, which are in contact with the liquid inside the hose.
In order to prevent the accumulation of a dangerous voltage, [...]

In case of STS transfer at the roads, or at sea, the guidelines as mentioned in the OCIMF “SHIP TO SHIP TRANSFER GUIDE” must be followed.
Responsibility
Each Master remains fully responsible for the safety of his own ship, its crew and cargo, and must not permit safety to be prejudiced by the actions of the other [...]
