It is the responsibility of the Vessel Master to consult the local OPERATORS representative during the loading operation if cargo is suspected of not complying with the Clean Cargo Instructions.
It is also the responsibility of the Vessel Master to report any findings of already loaded cargo suspected of being unclean or contaminated.
Issues with contamination of the cargo hold that could cross contaminate the cargo in any way, such as salty water or findings of live animals etc. should also be reported.
Reports should be sent to OPERATORS in the port of discharge and to Cargo Quality or OPERATORS Biosecurity Officer as soon as discovered.
