The latest OCIMF Information Paper – Linked Ship/Shore Emergency Shutdown Systems for Oil and Chemical Transfers has been released.

 The information paper, jointly released by CDI and OCIMF on 21 April, recommends an Emergency Shutdown (ESD) connection that will link ship and terminal ESD systems, so that manual activation by the terminal or ship will stop cargo transfer operations. The information paper recommends an electrical umbilical incorporating 5-pin twist connectors for universal adoption.

 Please note that this information paper will also be available to download from the Information Paper area of the OCIMF website https://www.ocimf.org/library/information-papers/
