Terms of use

The platform receives documents submitted for a ship-to-ship LNG transfer, presents the values read from them against the applicable requirements, records clarifications between the parties, and holds the record of what a reviewer decided. It produces analysis and evidence.

The platform is an advisory and evidence-review tool. It analyses documents submitted by vessel operators against criteria configured from the terminal's own controlled documents, and presents its findings for review. It does not itself approve, reject or clear any vessel, cargo or operation. Every compatibility decision is made by an authorised superintendent employed or engaged by the client, and the platform does not substitute for that judgement.

The platform provides analysis and evidence to support a review. It does not grant, and must not be treated as granting, acceptance or clearance for any transfer. Acceptance and clearance decisions are made by the authorised person, and the operator of the vessel or terminal remains responsible for those decisions and for the safety of the operation.

A finding, a traffic light or an absence of findings is an input to a professional judgement, never a substitute for one. Nothing in the platform relieves any party of an obligation under its own procedures, its class or flag requirements, the terminal's controlled requirements, or applicable law.

The analysis reflects the documents submitted. The party submitting a document is responsible for it being current, complete and correct. Where the platform records a value, it records what the document states, at the location stated; it does not verify the document against the physical vessel or terminal.

Where sources conflict, the platform shows the conflict rather than resolving it. Where a value is stated as a range, the range is preserved.

Accounts are issued by the operator to named individuals. There is no public registration. An account may not be shared, and the account holder is responsible for activity under their credentials. Notify the operator immediately if you believe a password has been compromised. The operator may suspend or withdraw an account, particularly when the holder leaves the organisation it was issued to.

You must not:

• attempt to access a case, document or record outside your permitted scope;
• probe, scan or test the security of the platform without the operator's written permission;
• extract data in bulk, or reuse another party's commercially confidential documents for any purpose other than the review they were submitted for;
• upload malicious content, or content you have no right to submit.

Review decisions, clarifications, confirmations and case status changes are retained as an append-only audit record and cannot be edited or deleted. By recording an action you accept that it is attributed to you by name and retained. A correction is made by recording a further action, not by removing the earlier one.

The platform is provided on a reasonable-efforts basis and may be unavailable during maintenance or through the failure of a third-party service. Service levels, support hours and availability commitments are agreed with each client according to the scale of their deployment, and set out in the service agreement.

The platform, its interface and its rule base remain the property of the operator and its licensors. Documents submitted by a client, and the review record created for that client, remain the property of the party that submitted or created them; the operator holds and processes them to provide the review.

To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud, the operator is not liable for operational, commercial or consequential loss arising from: a decision made by an authorised superintendent; the accuracy or completeness of information contained in a document submitted by a vessel operator; the configuration or content of criteria supplied by or agreed with the client; or use of the platform contrary to these terms. The platform provides analysis and evidence to support a decision; it does not make that decision, and responsibility for the final determination rests with the client's authorised superintendent.

These terms may be updated. Material changes will be notified to provisioned users, and the date at the top of this page reflects the last review.

The contracting entity, governing law, jurisdiction and formal notice address for an engagement are confirmed in the signed client agreement. TRANSBERTH is offered by The World of Superyachts Ltd, a UK-registered company.
