As these recommendations [054/00 and 055/00] stand, they are incapable of implementation given the lack of definition, enumeration and timelines within them. The CTL [Coastal Tankers Limited] Board has endorsed the following operational philosophy with respect to safety assessments utilising the PIANC guidelines.
High risk: Immediate cessation of operations.
Medium risk: Operations must be moved to standard risk within 2 years.
Standard risk: Satisfactory.

Within that context, the above TAIC recommendations will be implemented.
