It is recommended that the Port Authority of Split, within the amendments and supplements to the Regulations on special safety, security, and other measures for handling hazardous materials in the Port of Split, stipulates in Article 35 that a tanker ship must be moored securely, allowing for a quick departure if necessary. The ship should be moored bow towards the port exit (starboard side alongside the terminal), except in special cases requiring technical adjustments, for which prior approval from the Harbor Master’s Office Split and the Port Authority of Split is required. While at berth, the tanker must have emergency towing wires (“fire wires”) of appropriate diameter and length, firmly secured to bollards at the bow and stern and lowered to one meter above sea level, allowing tugboats to attach and tow the vessel away from the INA tanker terminal at the Kaštela Basin C in the Split North Port in Solin in case of an emergency.
