To ensure safety and efficiency, all vessels arriving at our Jebel Ali Terminals must comply with thier safety procedures for edge protection and lashing operations.

• Deficiencies: Any issues with a vessel’s edge protection (e.g., missing handrails) must be fixed immediately. If risks cannot be mitigated, DP World will suspend lashing/unlashing operations in the affected area, and the work must be completed by the vessel’s crew under the Chief Officer’s direct responsibility. A deficiency letter will be issued.
• Crew Responsibility: If edge protection is non-compliant, the vessel crew is responsible for all lashing/unlashing operations. The Chief Officer must provide a signed liability letter.
• Joint Assessment: If there is any doubt about safety, a joint assessment will be conducted by DP World and vessel representatives before operations can proceed.

Safety inspections will be conducted on all vessels. Non-compliance that poses a risk to our people or equipment may result in cargo operations being denied.
