3. Ships or vessels do not always have the same hazards and risk!

4. Describe vessels nomenclature Identify various types of vessels Objectives

6. The bow is the forward most part and considered the front of the vessel. Figure 1 Bow of hull number 134

7. The stern is the further most part of the vessel or the rear. Figure 2 Stern view of ship in the slip

8. The main deck is considered between the superstructure and hull. Figure 3 Main deck of cargo vessel

9. All decks above the main deck are labeled 1, 2, 3, etc. Figure 4 Superstructure of vessel with multiple decks

10. Decks below the main deck are labeled 01, 02, 03, etc. Figure 5 Engine room near the generator

11. The hull is the main body of the vessel. Figure 6 Hull inside the slip being dismantled

12. Port side of the vessel is the left when looking forward. Figure 7 Port side view

13. Starboard side of the vessel is the right when looking forward. Figure 8 Starboard view

14. Type of Vessels

31. Chemical Carrier Figure 20 Chemical tanker at oil dock

32. Main Deck of Tanker Figure 21 View on main deck of tanker being dismantled

33. Cargo Tanks Can Transport Petroleum or Chemical Products Figure 22 Cargo tanks open

34. Tankers Offer Many Health Risks and Hazards Figure 23 Tanker being dismantled

36. Submarines may be conventional or nuclear powered. Figure 24 Submarine arriving at berth in Brownsville

37. Submarines are extremely compact and difficult to make access. Figure 25 Inside slip conning tower remove

38. Walking surfaces are uneven, rounded, and pose hazards. Figure 26 Hot work on main deck

39. Submarines offer many challenges to working safely. Figure 27 Bow view of submarine

41. Cargo barges are designated to carry bulk cargo and non hazardous cargos. Figure 28 Bulk barges underway

42. Chemical barges transport dangerous cargos and chemicals pose health risk. Figure 29 Chemical barges awaiting to be loaded

43. Ocean going barge carrying regulated hazmat for cargo. Figure 30 Integrated Tank barge (ITB)

44. Oil barge is commonly referred to as red flag barge. Figure 31 Red flag barge at oil dock being loaded

45. Derrick barge used for hoisting, does not carry cargo. Figure 32 Derrick barge hoisting equipment

46. Action Discussion Do all vessels have the same risk and health hazards?

47. Action Discussion If vessel types are different, how do you prepare yourself to be SAFE?
