Revised April, 2016 and January, 2017  Issue: There is an increasing risk posed to ports in Hawaii from explosive handling operations.  There is a need to accurately assess explosive handling operations in the recent past along with consideration to current explosive handling permit applications.  It is our goal to ensure that these operations pose a  minimal risk to safety, property, and business.  Discussion: There are current written nationwide and Department of Defense guidelines for handling explosive materials. These guidelines were established through direct testing and unfortunately,  devastating accidents through mishandling.  Recommendations of HOST:  1. Create safety standards and guidelines for explosive handling operations at designated waterfront  facilities in Oahu and neighbor island ports.  Resolution:  Representatives from industry, State of Hawaii Harbors Division, the U.S. Coast Guard, and  Department of Defense created and put forth safety standards for explosive handling in Oahu and  neighbor island ports.  The attached has been approved by HOST.            Explosive Handling in Oahu and Neighbor Island Ports  The following establishes minimum guidelines for all explosive handling operations aboard vessels and  at Designated Waterfront Facilities in Oahu and neighbor island ports.  1. Before Division 1.1 and 1.2 materials may be discharged from, loaded on, handled or re‐stowed  on board a vessel at any place in Hawaii, the carrier must obtain a permit from the Captain of  the Port (COTP).  2. Application and Permit to Handle Hazardous Materials, Form CG‐4260, will be used to satisfy the  permit requirements of 33 CFR 126.17 and 49 CFR 176.415.   3. A single form CG-4260 can be used to cover the same load (transaction) for both the facility and  the vessel.  …
