Hazid Loading 1

1. The document describes potential hazards during the unloading of liquefied natural gas from ships onto a jetty. It identifies 10 key hazards including leakage from swivel joints, disconnection under extreme weather, fall from platforms, and impact during berthing. 2. Safeguards to address these hazards include a nitrogen purge system, leak detection, weather checks, fall protections like guard rails, and procedures for slow hydraulic control and emergency shutdown. 3. Risks are analyzed and most are found to have a negligible level of fatality, though hazards like impact during berthing require further risk reduction measures called ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable).

Hazards/ Keywords Description/ Causes Consequences Safeguards Fatallity
1. Unloading arms - leakage from swivel joints 1. Leakage from swivel joints would be minor leakages 1. N2 purge and leak detection system N/A
2. Unloading arms - leakage from mechanical flange joints
2. Liquid spill or vapour release; potential fire; impact on
structure due to cold liquid spill
2. Operator monitoring 1
3. Unloading arms - disconnection under extreme weather condition 3. Emergency shutdown of unloading operation 1
4. One of the liquid unloading arms can be used as vapour return arm
during maintenance of vapour arm; periodic maintenance of arms/
swivel joints
5. Gas detection and low temp. detection; fire detection; fire water
monitors at the jetty at different elevation (remote operated)
6. Loading arm platform designed to withstand cold liquid spill
7. Arm position limit detection and activation of shutdown valves at
jetty end
8. Powered Emergency Release Coupler with valves at either end of
coupling results in isolation of both ship end and jetty end
9. Spill containment system at the jetty platform with high expansion
foam
10. Continuous water curtain during unloading localised at the ship
manifold area
1. Spill containment system & emergency shutdown system on the
ship
2. Fire protection system on the ship
3. Fire protection system at the jetty
4. Tugs with fire fighting capability
2. Hydraulic control is slow and controlled

2. Fenders designed for specified impact load
3. Mooring masters on the shore side to supervise the berthing
4. Local HK Pilots onboard LNG carriers during berthing
1. Maintenance of arm - replacement of seals (about once every 5
years) - undertaken between unloading operations and will require
scaffolding
2. Replacement of arm (expected about once every 20 years) - this will
require barge/ crane operation. Operation undertaken between
unloading operations
7. Emergency Egress 1. Emergency on the ship or the jetty 1. Potential injury if unable to escape
1. Normal access to the jetty and secondary egress to the mooring
