Cause
Description
Notes
4
Valve failure (or
passing) on a route
where import is not
expected.
All routing will have at least two isolation valves.
Probability of this failure leading to an overfill is very
low compared to other initiating events.
5
Changes in the filling
rate due to changing
operations on other
tanks.
Not considered as an issue, as only one tank is filled at a
time. The maximum quoted rate for an import is
400m
3
/hr
6
Failure to terminate
filling at the ship on
request from terminal
The ship operators and Local Fuel operations are
monitoring the transfer and will normally stop at the
required parcel quantity. Contact is made with the ship
operations to warn that the site is reaching its required
quantity. It is not possible that part loads will be
transferred.
