ObjectiveObjective
• To gather industry input on the creation of a communications protocol for use by parties involved in loading operations

Intent
• To transport only commodities of sound quality and condition
• To avoid unnecessary delays to the cargo and vessel
• To prevent over/under reaction

• Provide updates on corrective measures

Questions
• Which parties should be included in the protocol?• Should a protocol be required or only a suggested best
practice?• Would a required communications protocol be too restrictive or
unenforceable?• Should the protocol establish communication channels for the
duration of the event or merely an emergency call list?• What information will be required by decision makers?• How to ensure that the size and scope of the problem are
properly conveyed and understood?
