Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made
This inspection was carried out to support the provision of advice to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for the issue of a consent under IRR17 Regulation 7 for the transport of HASS.
The inspector reviewed Streamline Shipping Group Ltd's submitted Safety Assessment for the transport of HASS and associated Local Rules and emergency plan to ensure claims made within these documents were both legally compliant and implemented in practice.
No non-compliances were identified, however, the inspector advised Streamline Shipping Group Ltd on specific areas of the Safety Assessment and emergency plan that require updating (to ensure these documents more clearly describe and reflect actual practice), prior to ONR advising HSE to issue a consent.
Conclusion
The inspection findings were presented to Streamline Shipping Group Ltd at the close of the inspection.
I judged an overall inspection rating of 'Green - No formal action' was appropriate for this inspection as there were relatively minor deficiencies in compliance arrangements.
Prior to ONR provision of advice to HSE for the issue of a consent under IRR17 Regulation 7 for the transport of HASS, Streamline Shipping Group Ltd is required to upload its updated Safety Assessment and emergency plan via HSE's RADAN system for further ONR review. Streamline Shipping Group Ltd should upload these documents to RADAN by 14 November 2025. This will be tracked to completion via a level 4 regulatory issue.
