health training, and the hazards, risks, and protection principles for the job in the coming days. they receive. In
addition, all personnel receive “Duty-Oriented Training within the Scope of the IMDG Code”. The designated
emergency teams (fire, spill, rescue, communication) are informed by receiving the necessary training. The members
of the first aid team, who are among the emergency teams, were certified by getting a passing grade from the
examination held by the ministry after receiving training from authorized institutions. IMDG Code, CTU Code,
Sampling training and related trainings about dangerous goods DPWY-HC- It is carried out according to the DPWY-
HC-PLN-002 Training Plan included in the PRO-005 Training Procedure. The issues related to the fourth part of the
Regulation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Sea and Loading Safety are explained in the third part of the
guide.
3. MEASURES AND RULES THAT WILL BE APPLIED BY THE SHORE FACILITY
How the precautions related to the issues specified in the third part of the Regulation on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods by Sea and Loading Safety are carried out is stated in the 2nd part of this guide.
Loading Safety:
1. Ships carrying dangerous goods cannot be approached to our facility without the permission of the port authority.
Authorization information is obtained through e-government login from the Berthing Order Port Authority website-
single window application.
2. The port authority stops the handling operation at the coastal facility when it sees any risk and does not start it
until the risk is eliminated. Written and telephone notifications made by the Port Authority are considered.
3. DPWY-HSSE-F-085 DPW Yarimca SEÇG Ship Safety Information Package (DPW Yarimca Vessel Safety Welcome
Package), which includes facility rules, cargo handling rules and what to do in case of emergency, is sent to the ship
that will dock at DP World Yarimca Terminal, and it is signed and recorded.
4. To ensure that the cargoes are loaded safely on the ship, the provisions of the Safe Code of Practice for Load
Stacking and Safety (CSS Code), the Code of Practice for Packing Cargo Transport Units (CTU Code) are followed.
5. Stacking of the cargo is carried out in accordance with the relevant legislation and international agreements we
are a party to. Separation is done by TOS in our coastal facility.
6. Requests the mandatory documents, information and documents related to dangerous goods from the cargo
person and ensures that they are found with the cargo. The arrival plan notified by the agency includes dangerous
cargo information for all containers on the ship.
7. Our coastal facility determines the working limits by taking into account the safe working capacity of the facility
and weather forecasts and takes the necessary measures to ensure that the ship is safely moored at the pier and
handling. 8. The ship cannot be loaded more than the loading limit, considering the loading limit. If such a situation
is detected, the ship will not be allowed to sail.
9. It is ensured that the load and ballast water pattern are monitored throughout the loading or unloading operation
so that the ship's structure is not subjected to excessive stress. Loading and unloading organizations are followed by
the Operations and Planning Departments.


10. Care is taken to ensure that the ship is free of heel, but if a heel is required during loading, it is ensured that it
is as short as possible. To avoid structural damage to the ship, balanced loading and unloading is ensured. In case
the ship leans forward or aft, it moves in coordination with the ship. Conditions such as stretching, or trim must be
reported by the ship.
11. Under adverse meteorological and oceanographic conditions that may affect the cargo handling operation, the
handling operation is stopped by the captain until the conditions improve.
12. To prevent situations such as placing heavy cargo on light cargo, placing liquid cargo on dry cargo, or spreading
the smell of bad-smelling cargo to other cargoes, cargoes with features that may damage other cargoes are loaded
in accordance with the separation rules. The loading plans reported by the agency are followed.
13. Our coastal facility ensures that the personnel involved in the handling of dangerous goods and the planning of
this handling are trained and documented.
14. Our coastal facility ensures that the dangerous goods handling equipment is in working condition and that the
relevant personnel are trained on the use of these equipment.
15. Our shore facility takes occupational safety measures and ensures that the personnel use personal protective
equipment suitable for the physical and chemical characteristics of the dangerous cargo.
16. Load lashing, loading, and lashing operations regarding loading, stowage, separation, handling, transportation
and unloading of cargoes to the vessel are carried out in line with the demands of the vessel.
17. It is forbidden to smoke, use open fire, spark-producing tools, equipment, etc. on the cargo deck and points of
berthed ships carrying dangerous goods and in coastal storage areas of dangerous goods.
4. CLASSIFICATION, TRANSPORTATION, DISCHARGING / LOADING, HANDLING, SEPERATION,

STACKING AND STORAGE OF DANGEROUS GOODS
4.1. Classification of Dangerous Goods
Transportation of substances which has sea pollution risk and dangerous goods have their sea transportation are
regulated by International Convention for the Safety of the Life at Sea (SOLAS) and International Convention for the
Prevention of pollution from Ships (MARPOL). In the related sections of SOLAS and MARPOL International Maritime
Dangerous Goods Code is explained in detail and how to transport these goods over the sea is legislated. As of 1st of
January,2004 IMDG CODE is obligatory.
For all transportation methods (sea, air, train, land and inter water ways), classification of dangerous goods and
definitions these is done by UNITED NATIONS Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN)
According to this regulation the classifications are given as below:
Class 1 Explosive Substance and Items
Risk Section 1.1: Substances and Units that have Massive Explosion Risk
Contains explosive which may lead to massive explosion. An explosion almost affects all the
goods.


Risk Section 1.2: Substances and Goods which don’t have massive explosion risk but
has scattering/dashing risks.
Substances and units which doesn’t have explosion risk but has dashing risk.
Risks Section 1.3: Substances and Units that have fire risk, minor explosion or
dashing or both, however, doesn’t have massive explosion risks.
Substances that have fire risk or minor explosion or minor dashing or both, however, doesn’t
have massive explosion risks.
This section contains the substances and units given below:
1 Significant amount of radiant or
2 The ones that create chain reactions as minor explosion or dashing.
Risk Section 1.4: Substances that don’t have significant risks.
Once there is a small ignition or spark, there are substance which have minor threat. Their
affect is limited with the package only and they are not expected to have any big particles to
be dashed to significant number of distances.
Risk Section 1.5: Substances that have high explosion risk however have low
sensitivity.
Substances that have high explosion risk however have low sensitivity.
Risk Section 1.6: Substances that have high explosion risk however have extremely
low sensitivity.
Substances that have high explosion risk however have extremely low sensitivity.


Class 2 Gases
Class 2.1 Flammable Gases

Gases that have features given below at kPa 101,3 pressure
and 20°C:
Flammable at 13% or less mixture rate with air or
When low flammability limit is ignored at 12% mixture
has a probability of flammability. Flammability is
determined with tests or calculations these calculations
are done according to ISO (refer to: ISO 10156:2010)
Class 2.2 Non-Flammable and Non-Toxic Gases
These Gases:
▪ Dilutes or replaces the oxygen that exist in the atmosphere normally or
▪ Generally, by providing oxygen, makes other substances burn more
when compared to regular air, oxidizing gases or
▪ The ones that don’t belong to other
classes.
Class 2.3 Toxic Gases

These Gases:
▪ Toxic or abrasive gases that poses a threat for human life or
▪ Acute toxicity LC50 value is 5000ml/m3 or less therefore they are assumed
to be toxic for the humans.
Class 3 Flammable Liquids

Class 3: Flammable Liquids
Flammable liquids; liquid or liquid mixtures or solutions or
suspended solid including, (paint, varnish, lacquer, etc. and with
similar dangerous features which are not included in any other
class) and flammable steam vaporizing liquids at 60°C in closed
container test (equivalent 65,6°C open container test) or less, so
called “flash point”
Class 4 Flammable Solids
Class 4.1 Flammable solids, substances that reacts by itself, less

sensitive solid explosives, and polymerizing substances.
Flammable solids can easily be ignited and solids that might start ignition by
friction. The substances that react by itself don’t have stable heat and they are
eager to exothermic degradation without contacting with oxygen(air).
Explosives with lowered sensitivity, they are homogeneous solid mixtures which
are diluted with water or alcohol in order to decrease explosive features of
explosive substances.
Polymerizing substances are substances that exothermically react by itself, which
may lead creation of bigger molecules or during transportations normal conditions
that will evolve into polymerization.


Class 4.2 Combustible Substances
Pyrophoric substances, including solutions and mixtures (liquid or solid), small
number of substances which start burning after contacting with air within 5
minutes. These are the most eager to combust substances. Substances that get
heated by itself; these are not within pyrophoric substances, whenever they
contacted with air they are eager to get heated without any energy source. These
substances will only start burning if they are big in amounts (as Kg’s) or after a
long time (hours and days).
Class 4.3 Substances that releases flammable gases when contacted

with water.
the solid or liquid substances in this class releases dangerous number of flammable
gases which are eager to combust whenever contacted with water.
Class 5: Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides
Class 5.1 Oxidizing Substances

Even if they are not flammable, generally produces oxygen and causes other materials to
burn and contributes to fire. These substances can be found inside an object as well.
Class 5.2 Organic Peroxides

Organic substances carry –O-O- structure and since organic radicals are replaced with
both hydrogen molecules they can be considered as hydrogen peroxides. Organic
peroxides thermally unstable and they can produce heat by themselves, and they can
quickly degrade.
Class 6: Toxic Substances and Infectious Substances
Class 6.1 Toxic Substances

These substances can harm human health by causing death or serious injury whenever
they are swallowed, breathed in or contacted.
Class 6.2 Infectious Substances

These substances include pathogens, or they are expected to contain them. Pathogens are
microorganisms (bacteria’s, viruses, typhus, parasites, including fungus) or prions related
other agents that may lead to sickness in humans or animals

4.5. Segregation Tables of Dangerous Goods in Ports and On Vessels According to Their Classification
Separation is the process of moving away two or more substances or objects from each other in case of
an emergency, leakage or spoilage incident which may have bigger threat together or non-conformity
in existing at the same area. Since these incident’s threat level can vary from one to another, different
separation schemes may vary based upon needs.
Separation is achieved through creating certain distance between dangerous goods or having one or more

steel curtain among storage areas or combination of both. The areas between these dangerous goods
can be filled with other dangerous goods or objects which are coherent. General provision regarding to
separation regarding to various dangerous goods are shown in the “separation table” given below.
 Segregation Table
General provisions regarding to separation of various dangerous goods is given below in the “separation
table”. Substances, equipment or objects, every class feature can be very different, therefore in case of
conflicted judgements special provisions separation for Dangerous Goods list must always be considered
rather than general provisions. Separation at the same time will always consider a primary secondary
warning tag as well.
The numbers and symbols in the table represents:
1 "Far away”.
2 "Separated”.
3 "Separated with one section or a warehouse";
4 "Separated with a whole section or a warehouse lengthwise".
X – has several separation rules to follow, to confirm please consult Dangerous Goods List.
*- For separation of Class 1 substances or products provision please check this sections 7.2.7.1 clause.

 Yard Area Segregation Table
1 "MUST BE KEPT AWAY" Minimum of 3 m. distance
2 "MUST BE SEPERATED" 6m at least in open ares; in closed sections and areas 12m at least, or a fireproof wall is required.
x NO SEPERATION IS REQUIRED. Please check Dangerous Goods List for special separation provisions.
4.6. Segregation Distances and Segregation Terms of Danagerous Goods in Warehouse Storing
Segregation of Stacked Packaged Dangerous Goods with Conventional Method.
Definition of Segregation Terms
Far Away:
In case of an accident for all incoherent dangerous goods to not interact each other, efficiently separated however
vertically raising with 3-meter minimum horizontal separation is required for the same section, warehouse or onboard.
Seperated:
When stacked under board in different sections or warehouses. The shipboard between should be fire and liquid proof
for a vertical separation, this could be equivalent. For onboard stacking this separation should be at least 6 meter distant.

Seperated with a section or a warehouse:
It could be either vertical or horizontal. If the decks between are not fireproof or liquid resistance whole section or
warehouse could be accepted as separation. For on board stacking this separation should 12-meter separation at least.
If one package is stacked under deck and the other one is stacked one more above, then it will be counted as equivalent.
Separated by whole section or a warehouse lengthwise:
Only vertical separation will not fulfill this requirement. Underdeck and over the deck separation requires 24-meter
separation at least. Over the deck stacking means at least 24-meter distance separation.
5. HAND-MANUEL REGARDING TO DANGEROUS GOODS WHCH ARE HANDLED IN SHORE FACILITIES
The manual prepared with the purpose of informing the personnel about the dangerous goods handled at the coastal
facilities can be found in attachments.
6. OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
6.1. Procedures Regarding to safe Approach, Belay, Loading/Discharging, Harboring and Anchorage of Vessels
which are Transporting Dangerous Goods During Day and Night
The safe berthing of ships carrying dangerous goods day and night is carried out by the company providing pilotage
service. Under normal circumstances, there are no applications for night docking. However, considering the approval
of the port authority and the suitability of the environment after the lighting measurement, docking and piloting are
carried out by the piloting service company.
The loading and discharging procedures of ships carrying dangerous goods in accordance with the DPWY-O-PRO-01
VESSEL MANEUVERS procedure is:
Discharging
1. The QC will take a position at the level of the bay to be worked.
2. To scan on the bay to work, the spreader will scan the ship by making a round trip.
3. After the ship controls are completed, the operation will start in line with the ship's manager instructions.
4. Make sure that the locks and lashings of the containers are removed.
5. While picking up the container from the ship, it is necessary to act slowly, considering the imbalance of the load.
6. It should be noted that the mob is in the appropriate lane under the post.
7. According to the operation situation, 20' containers should be taken in pairs.
8. The evacuated container number and the container numbers specified in the TOS system will be checked.
9. All damages that may occur on the ship or in the container will be reported to the ship manager.
10. If there is no ITV under the post, the ship will be informed to the ship's clerk and the container will be put on the dock
and wait without leaving the spreader. When ITV arrives, the container will be lifted and placed on ITV.
11. In the TOS system, action will be taken according to the order of work orders.
12. In the TOS system, if the container appears on the VMT screen, the planning department will be informed.
Loading
1. If the hatch cover needs to be opened in the bay to be loaded, the hatch cover of the ship should be opened.
2. When taking containers over ITV, spreader flippers must be taken open.
3. The container to be taken over the ITV should be lifted slowly, and the balance of the load should be checked.
4. After receiving the container via ITV, the spreader will move to the safe height and move onto the ship to put the container
in the cell specified in the ship loading plan in accordance with the working instructions.
5. While working in the hold, ship skids should be checked and placed carefully.
6. In case of any snagging, the helmsman should warn the operator and make him stop the movement.
7. Any damage that may occur during loading will be informed to the ship operations officer.
8. While loading on the warehouse, the helmsman should check that the twistlocks are fully seated and if there is any
incompatibility, the QC operator should inform.
9. A 40 'container can be placed on a 2x20' container. However, 20 'containers will not be placed on a 40' container.
10. During the operation, it will not be allowed to move by passing containers over people. It should be ensured that the ship's
officer is informed and takes the necessary precautions.
6.2. Procedures Regarding to Additional Measures that Need to be Taken During Loading and Discharging Based
Upon Seasonal Weather Conditions
In case of adverse weather conditions of dangerous cargoes, the procedure to be applied in the transfer, evacuation and
limbo operations is as follows:
1. Weather conditions should be monitored weekly and daily basis by the relevant departments.
2. Followed weather reports should be shared with the relevant units.
3. A pre-prepared emergency action plan should be implemented for adverse weather conditions and especially excessive
wind warning.
4. Wind with a speed of 14-17 m / s is defined as the approaching storm; Wind with a speed of 18-20 m / s is defined as a
storm; 21 m / s and above is defined as a severe storm. All measures to be taken vary depending on the wind strength.
5. Crane operations are stopped at speeds of 18 - 20 m / s. At speeds of 21 m / s and higher, all port facility operations,
including gate entry and exit, are suspended.
6. All cranes have wind speed measuring devices and the value indicated by this device must be followed by the operator.
7. Wind measuring devices on the crane should give an alarm at 18 m / s, and automatically turn itself off at 20 m / s.
8. After the storm warning, the floor should be reduced, especially in empty stacking piles that pose a risk. The field officer
should walk around the stacks before the storm and intervene if there are empty containers with open doors.
9. High-rise empty containers should be reduced in floors within the knowledge of the planning department.

10. The responsibility of fixing all cranes and equipment lies with the operator and technical services department. In case of
possible need for assistance, staff can be assigned.
11. All cranes are placed in parking position for possible storm hazard.
12. End of rail stoppers (concrete block) for dock cranes are checked and dock cranes are fixed to the rails using two stabilizer
pins. As in every parking position, the crane boom is erected. If deemed necessary, crane legs can also be attached to
scaffold bollards with chains. Again, if necessary, the sprayer is left on the dock with a 20-foot container.
13. For RTG, chocks should be placed under the rubber wheels in addition to the parking position and braking.
14. The parking area designated for ITVs is the area between the back of the dock cranes and the road lane. ITVs are parked
in this area.
15. The parking position of other equipment such as RS / ECH / FL is outside the stack.
16. While fixing all cranes and equipment, it should be ensured that cabin windows are closed, and doors are locked.
17. When the fixing of the cranes and equipment is finished, the technical services department should send an e-mail to the
relevant people.
6.3. Procedures Regarding to Vehicle, Equipment or Tool Which (May) Create Sparks During Operation in
Handling Dangerous Goods and Stacking & Storage Yards and Keeping Flammable, Inflammable and
Explosive Goods Away from These Processes
A work permit is required to work or be in the areas and fields where IMDG code products are located. These work permits
are applied for hot processes. Work permit meetings are held daily, and other relevant departments are informed about the
issue. In addition, there are strict non-smoking and fire-avoidance procedures in place.
For hot work and processes,DPWY-PRO- 31 Safe Working Procedure in Hot Works is applied.
DPWY-PRO-31 Safe Working Procedure in Hot Works is applied for hot works and processes:

• If the hot work will be carried out in a closed area, adequate ventilation should be provided and gas measurements in the
environment should be made regularly and frequently. Respiratory protective equipment should be used when necessary.
• A sign should be hung in the work area and at all work area entrances, with the permit document of the hot work process
and the safety measures to be taken.
7. DOCUMENTATION, CONTROL AND RECORD
7.1. Documents and Information is Required Related to Dangerous Goods, Procedures Regarding to how
Related Parties Will Obtain and Control Those
All mandatory documents, information and documents regarding dangerous goods are delivered by the agency before the
ship arrives. Documents that have not been delivered, Safety Data Sheets, and detailed information about dangerous

goods are requested from the ship's captain and loaded onto the system to ensure that containers containing dangerous
goods are properly stored.
7.2. Updated List of All Dangerous Substances and Procedures of Keeping All Other Related Information Within
an Order and Completely
Keeping the current list of all hazardous substances and other relevant information regularly and completely in the coastal
facility area is stored under the "Terminal Operation System". For dangerous loads to be taken into the field, the area
registered in the TOS system created by the Planning Department and isolated for these loads is specified on the system
and these areas are reserved in the field.
On the system, The place where these substances are found on a daily basis in the stockpile is accessible with IMDG Class
information and Safety Data Sheets. These documents are stored in computer and in related files by printing.
7.3. Reporting Procedures Regarding to Controlling and Control Results of Identification of Dangerous Goods
Appropriately, Correct Shipment Names are Utilized, Certificated, Packaged/Wrapped, Tagged and
Declared, Approved and Loaded to Proper Container, Packaging or Transportation Unit by Using a Secure
Method
Checking that the dangerous goods arriving at the facility are properly identified, the correct shipping names are used,
certified, packaged / packaged, labeled, and declared, safely loaded and transported to the approved and regulated
packaging, container or cargo transport unit; before the cargo is evacuated from the ship, it is determined whether it is
suitable or not with the Material Safety Data Sheet that comes with it. The results of these checks are recorded on the
Terminal Operation System and are kept available for continuous access.
Rules
1. The stacking order should be made according to the IMO numbers on the containers carrying dangerous goods.
