Safety Issue
The actions taken by the Port of Brisbane Corporation on 24 June
2006, in relation to the reloading of the xanthates containers onto
Kota Pahlawan, were inconsistent with its publicly stated
core value of 'safety first' and did not adequately consider the
master's legal and safety responsibilities to comply with the
requirements of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods
Code.
Safety Recommendation
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the Port
of Brisbane Corporation take action to address this safety
issue.
