all trucks and other conveyances were required to enter through gates manned by security

officers (f=88, 100%).

Moreover, seafarers practiced constant patrol/watch for fire and stowaways while

loading and discharging of cargoes (f=86, 97.73%; f=2, 2.27%), while provided safe

walks and warning signs on deck walk onboard (f=83, 94.32%; f=5, 5.68%) to lesser

extent.

It is then followed by permissible cargo heights, deck/ramp and lift loads and

other relevant signboards being fitted and clearly visible (f=82, 93.18%; f=6, 6.82%). On

the other hand, the least practiced was smoking on decks and holds according to port

regulation being prohibited while on port of discharge (f=77, 87.50%; f=11, 12.50%).

Table 5 shows that all the safety practices are being followed by seafarers

engaged in domestic trade in Loboc Port towards the environment and vessel in the

engine department (f=24, 100%).
