Housekeeping Standards – Lashing Bars & Securing Equipment

Dear Valued Customers,

In line with our commitment to the highest standards of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), we kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that all vessels calling at Khalifa Bin Salman Port (KBSP) maintain proper housekeeping standards with respect to lashing bars and related securing equipment.

It has been observed during several recent port calls that lashing bars were left scattered on deck rather than stowed in their designated storage areas. This creates significant safety hazards for terminal personnel and may also lead to operational delays.

We therefore urge all vessel operators and crew members to ensure that lashing bars and securing equipment are always handled and returned to their designated stowage positions.

Your cooperation in upholding these safety and operational standards is highly appreciated. Together, we can maintain a safe and efficient working environment for all.

Yours faithfully,
APM Terminals Bahrain
