A: HÖEGH AUTOLINERS GENERAL TERMINAL RULES A.1 High value, sophisticated and non-starting Ro-Ro cargo Sophisticated Ro/Ro cargo is defined as high- tech, remote controlled, special equipped, and computer controlled machinery or vehicles which require specific operating procedures outside the norm of everyday equipment. If sophisticated cargo and also second-hand Ro/Ro units require special technicians and drivers to start up and to manoeuvre, these people should attend during operation. When booking cargo which requires high technical and special know-how to operate, units must have handling instructions located within or around the operating / driving area. The terminal/stevedore driver and vessel command shall get instructions on how to start/stop, and how to operate wheel brakes on such units. The instructions shall, at a minimum, contain: a. QUICK GUIDE: Starting, stopping and Driving + master / battery switch location (English language). b.

Units shall also be marked, with for example non-starters, non-runner, battery, kill-switch, etc., as necessary, and Lashing points on units shall be marked properly. The agent/booking offices are responsible for making the driving instructions available for the terminals (loading and discharging). If cargo arrives at the terminal or is loaded in an apparent bad or unsafe condition, or not meeting the vessels specifications, the responsible local agent/ Höegh Autoliners regional office must be contacted immediately. Höegh Autoliners representative/local agent is to decide whether cargo can be accepted or not, and if necessary repairs/safety measures can be arranged for shipper’s account.
