Crew Access
Ship's crews are not to walk in areas of cargo operations.
Crew Transportation
A regular bus service is provided by Northport between the ship's gangway and the entrance gates to the port on a scheduled service. The time table is provided by the ship's agent.
Port Evacuation
In case of an emergency Northport may order a general evacuation of the port. The alarm used will be a continuous sounding alarm from a moving vehicle horn and the wharf alarm will be sounded.
A rising alarm from the refinery indicates an incident not necessarily an emergency within the refinery. TAKE NO ACTION. Ships will be instructed if any further action may be required. A second rising alarm indicates the situation is over. Note: The alarm is tested every Wednesday at 1300 hours.
Assembly Points
In the event that ships need to be evacuated, crew members must assemble at the nearest wharf side assembly point at the stevedores berth office. If necessary ship's crew may be redirected to the off-site assembly point located at the main entrance gate.
