QUESTIONNAIRE ON PORT OPERATIONS
STANDARDS
The questionnaire
is intended
to generate
information
from APA members
on the procedures
being implemented,
utilization
of resources
and standards
adopted in
port operations
particularly
those pertaining
to cargo handling,
pilotage and
tug services.
It is important
that complete
and accurate
answers are
provided since
the latter
will provide
the basis
for the preparation
of the Best
Practices
Manual in
the ASEAN.
One
set of questionnaire
should be
accomplished
per port/terminal.
Questions
are grouped
by major area.
Answers to
the questions
may be indicated
by checking
the corresponding
box or by
filling-in
the blanks/tables
provided after
the questions
or by indicating
"Not
Applicable".
It
will be very
helpful if
respondent
ports will
include a
brief narrative/discussion
of issues/problems
relating to
areas/questions
covered by
the survey.
Such narrative
should include
the proposed
solutions
or actions
undertaken
by the port
to address
issues/problems
identified.
Please use
separate sheets
if necessary.
