PASS-2-LOAD background

• SLP took over from the Australian Institute of Petroleum (AIP) that operated a similar program called AIP-Safe Load Pass in September 2009

• Since then an average of 14,000 inspections have been conducted per annum

• This equates to approximately 4,000 fuel tankers of all combinations being inspected twice yearly

PASS-2-LOAD initiatives

Since 2011 SLP have implemented:•Overfill Protection System – Probe Height Standard

•Tanker – Return to Service Checklist

Both initiatives have been instrumental in reducing spill incidents in terminal loading gantries. The introduction of non-cork gaskets on tankers by 2015 is contributing to this incident reduction
