11 PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT OMAN L.L.C. MINA AL FAHAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Responsibility for the safe conduct of operations on board your ship while at the terminal rests jointly with you, as the Master of the ship, and with the responsible terminal representative. We wish, therefore, before operations start, to seek your full co-operation and understanding on the safety requirements set out in the Ship/Shore Safety Check List which are based on safe practices widely accepted by the oil and the tanker industries. These safety requirements are fully described in the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT) and you are required to be fully aware of them. We therefore expect you and all under your command to adhere strictly to them throughout your stay in our terminal. We, for our part, will ensure that our personnel do likewise and co-operate fully with you in the mutual interest of safe and efficient operations. Before the start of operations, and from time to time there after, for our mutual safety, a member of the terminal staff, where appropriate together with a responsible officer, will make a routine inspection of your ship to ensure that the questions on the Ship/Shore Safety Check List can be answered in the affirmative. Where corrective action is needed we will not agree to operations commencing or, should they have been started, we will require them to be stopped. Similarly, if you consider safety is endangered by any action on the part of our staff or by any equipment under our control you should demand immediate cessation of operations, and bring this immediately to the notice of Fahal Pilot via the UHF radio Ch 1, or Fahal Control on UHF radio or VHF Ch 12. We reserve the right in the event of continued or flagrant disregard of the safety requirements by any ship to stop all operations and to order the ship off the berth for appropriate action to be taken by the Charterer and/ or Owners concerned. To assist you with ship/shore communications PDO will provide you with one UHF radio and a spare battery. This radio must be used as the primary means of communication during the vessels stay in port unless advised otherwise. The UHF radio channel frequency is monitored 24 hours a day by both Fahal Pilot and Fahal Control. The radio is the property of PDO and should be returned to the Duty Pilot at the completion of loading. The OOW must have access to this radio throughout the Port operations. SAFETY OF SBM OPERATIONS It has been our experience that under certain conditions of wind, sea and current a vessel moored to the SBM has a tendency to ride up to the buoy. This condition exposes both the vessel and the SBM to the risk of damage; further, there is a danger of the mooring ropes fouling the SBM and causing substantial damage to pipework, with ensuing pollution, when the weight eventually comes on to these lines. Therefore an hourly checklist on SBM and hose equipment will be presented by the attending Berthing Master Assistant for counter signature by the Officer on Watch (OOW). We therefore require that the vessel maintain a continuous forecastle head watch. The forecastle watchkeeper is required to report the SBM position in relation to the vessel s bow at periods not exceeding 30 minutes to the OOW or sooner if there is any significant alteration or if the distance between SBM and Tanker is causing concern. To standardise the reporting of information, distances should be given in metres (hawser length 50 metres) and direction should be given using clock face notation i.e. 12 o clock being right ahead, 9 o clock and 3 o clock being port and starboard beam respectively. If the distance between SBM and Tanker is causing concern the OOW should inform the attendant Berthing Master Assistant who will then proceed forward and if required contact a tug. Initially the tug would be used to push the ship clear but may also be made fast through the centre lead aft, using a ship rope mooring line. If, for whatever reason, the Master wishes to use the ship s engine(s), he must abide by the conditions set out in paragraph Any untoward situation should be brought immediately to the attention of the Master and attendant Berthing Master Assistant, who will in turn call the Duty Pilot as necessary. We would point out that the responsibility for keeping a forecastle head watch rests with the vessel. We hereby advise you that all costs resulting from damage sustained by our SBM installation and attributable directly or indirectly to your vessel will be for your Owner s/charterer account, even if such damage is caused, Mina al Fahal Port Regulations July 2010

12 or contributed to, by the negligence of PDO or its personnel. Fahal Pilot and Fahal Control maintain a continuous watch on UHF radio and VHF Channel 12, should you have any problems the Duty Pilot is always available. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION In order to safeguard our mutual interests in the above matter, you should instruct your OOW s to report on UHF radio to Fahal Control, every 2 hours, the quantity of oil received in metric tonnes on board your vessel. The Berthing Master s Assistant has been instructed to stop the discharge of any ballast water that he considers suspect. The Government of Oman is acutely aware of its environmental obligations. Any vessel found polluting Oman s territorial water is liable to severe censure and a fine. To this end, aircraft and vessels of the Royal Oman Police patrol the coastal waters. Government Officials may also board the vessel and carry out port State control inspections. They will ask to sight the ship s Oil Record Book, IOPP certificate and proof of membership of a recognised P&I club. Should pollution occur from your vessel, Petroleum Development Oman will mount clean up operations and the costs involved will be debited to your owners. The Government of Oman will take the fullest action against any vessel, its Master or owner found dumping garbage and / or refuse into Oman s waters contrary to the requirements of the MARPOL Annex V regulations. ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY IN MINA AL FAHAL AREA With the risk of sabotage against tankers and tanker operations within the Gulf Area, strict enforcement of security precautions is advised. Unless you are requested by the Berthing Master Assistant or through VHF by Fahal Pilot to provide access, the pilot ladder/accommodation ladder should be kept at deck level. The Port of Mina al Fahal has been fully certificated in accordance with the provisions of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code Any suspicious activity in the vicinity of your vessel must be immediately reported to Fahal Pilot or Fahal Control on UHF radio or VHF Channel 12. The Royal Oman Police (Coastguard Division), VHF channel 11, will undertake regular checks to enforce local security. Thank you for your co-operation in the above. Yours faithfully For Petroleum Development Oman LLC Senior Port Operations Supervisor Mina al Fahal Port Regulations July 2010

Under no circumstances must vessels enter the Restricted Area unless accompanied or advised by a Mina al Fahal Pilot. (See also BA 3518 or OMAN 255 / 254) 5.04 ANCHORS In order to prevent damage to SBM moorings and submerged pipelines, anchors are to be secured in the seagoing condition before the ship enters the Restricted Area. (See BA 3518 / OMAN 255 / 254 or attached Port Plan). Under no circumstances is the seagoing security of the anchors to be altered whilst the vessel is moored to the SBM DRAFTS All vessels scheduled to berth at MAF SBM s must arrive with the propeller fully immersed and with the forward and aft drafts deep enough in order to: a) Positive Stability. b) Allow safe handling of the vessel in the prevailing weather conditions for the area. c) Prevent the bow riding above the fendering on the SBM. d) Allow connection of the mooring hawser, whilst maintaining a safe distance from the SBM. Mina al Fahal Port Regulations July 2010

20 In order to comply with the above, as a minimum the vessel should have her propeller immersed with a maximum trim of 1.5% LOA. Vessels will not be permitted to berth if the above conditions can not be followed at all times. NB. It is the vessel s responsibility to ensure that drafts and trim are maintained in such condition that the vessel can safely unberth and manoeuvre at all times. The above drafts and trim should be complied with at all times on the SBM. At the Pilots discretion, especially during winter months, or if bad weather is forecast, a minimum Deadweight restriction may be placed on the vessel 5.06 DRAFT/LOADED DISPLACEMENT LIMITATIONS SBM 1 Maximum draft during berthing operations is 18.5 metres. Maximum 350,000 Tonnes Loaded Deadweight. SBM 2 No draft restriction, maximum 554,000 Tonnes Loaded Deadweight. SBM 3 Maximum draft 14.0 metres or maximum 100,000 Tonnes Loaded Deadweight. E CBM Maximum draft arrival of 3.0 meters, maximum draft on CBM of 4.5 meters and maximum deadweight of 3,000 Tonnes BERTHING AT SBM s Vessels berth head on to a single buoy mooring system comprising of nylon grommet-type-mooring lines, which terminate with chafe chains for securing on board using the vessels bow chain stoppers. Vessels which are not fitted with approved 76mm tongue or hinged type bow stoppers will not be accepted for loading operations at Mina al Fahal. Vessels must comply with the arrangements as per OCIMF Standard of Equipment for Bow Mooring. SBM 3 comprises of only one mooring line and chafe chain. Two suitable messengers of 28 mm minimum diameter rigged to individual winches should be provided by the ship to lift the end of the two 80 mm diameter polypropylene pick-up ropes from the tug. A Pilot and Berthing Master Assistant will board the vessel for mooring and will advise the details of the mooring procedure CBM s One CBM operates in Mina Al Fahal. The East CBM is for white oils. The CBM is owned by Shell Oman. Berthing is only during daylight hours. Maximum mean wave height is 0.5m and mean wind speed of 10 knots for berthing. Vessels report to Fahal Pilot VHF Ch.12 for berthing and unberthing. Normal pilot boarding positions are 1 mile east of the Mina Al Fahal Fairway Buoy or as directed by Fahal Pilot. No pilot required for unberthing. Tug boat will escort the vessel to clear of restricted area. Cargo operations will be suspended when weather conditions exceed above 20 knot winds and 1.0m wave heights or as defined by the duty pilot TUGS On arrival at the Pilot boarding position a tug will bring the Pilot and Berthing Master Assistant to the point of access. The manifold equipment box etc may be taken onboard once the vessel is fast at the SBM, using the port derrick or crane, though under certain conditions at the pilot s discretion this may be done on the lee side prior to berthing. Whilst berthing, one tug will assist with connecting the pickup ropes, whilst a second tug will keep the hoses clear on the final approach. Once the vessel is securely moored, the Berthing Master Assistants, who are familiar with local conditions, will call a tug for assistance if considered necessary. This will be in direct response to the safety conditions mentioned earlier with regards to the distance and position of the SBM. Ships should have soft floating ropes ready by the centre lead aft, for use by the tug, if found necessary. On departure, to assist the vessel in manoeuvring clear from the SBM, a tug(s) may be instructed by the Pilot to push on the port/starboard bow, and/or port/starboard stern. Tugs are equipped with fire fighting capabilities and will react to requests for assistance should a fire break out on the vessel. Tugs at Mina Al Fahal, all are on call 24 hrs a day. This can be supplemented if required by additional tugs from Mina Sultan Qaboos. If the Master requires either option of additional tugs then a request should be made to Fahal Pilots via VHF ch 12 or UHF radio. Mina al Fahal Port Regulations July 2010

21 6.00 DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS 6.01 HEALTH REQUIREMENTS The vessel s agents should be telexed with details of any sickness on board. Vaccinations can be given by the Port Health Officer on arrival. A doctor and dentist are available. Patients should be able to speak Arabic/English or be accompanied by a competent interpreter and should bring their passports. To avoid delay to patients a form containing the following information must be sent in triplicate with every patient. Name, address and telex address of ship s owners. Name of ship. Rank and name of patient. Nature of complaint (in general terms) PAPERS REQUIRED ON ARRIVAL FOR PILOT : FOR SHORE AUTHORITIES: 2 copy of Crew List. 1 copy of Ship Security Certificate. 4 copies of Crew List. 2 copies of vaccination list. 1 copy Declaration of Personal Effects. 1 copy Bonded-Stores List. CARGO DOCUMENTATION Petroleum Development Oman follows the Early Departure Procedure for completion of cargo documents. The Pilot on departure requires the ships metric tonne cargo loaded figure within one and a half hours upon completion of loading. The unberthing operation will commence immediately after the hoses are disconnected with the vessel being told to anchor until the vessel provides a ship figure if this is not made available prior to the Pilots departure. On departure you will be given a provisional Certificate of Quantity and Quality with all shore figures entered. These shore figures are provisional only and may be subject to change by Government officials. Confirmation or any amendment will be telexed to you from your agent within 3 days of your departure and the figures should then be transferred to your cargo documents, as Master, you are required to sign cargo documents with the cargo figures omitted as presented by the shore officials. These will include Cargo Manifest, Receipt documents, Ullage report some of which will be returned ashore for despatch as instructed by consignee/shipper. If you do wish to use the Early Departure Procedure, you may authorise your agent to sign the documents on your behalf. You will be given the EARLY DEPARTURE AUTHORISATION letter which can be duplicated to your own headed note paper which confirms that you will be authorising your agent to sign the Bills of Lading and other relevant cargo documents on your behalf. The original of this letter is to be returned to the Pilot for use by the Terminal and Government officials whilst you retain a copy for your local agent. Upon receipt of confirmation of the shore figures and if you are authorising your agent you are requested to contact your agent and instruct him to sign the cargo documents on your behalf. Before your ship is released, we require you to return to the Pilot the completed PDO ullage report, a copy of the Vessels Experience Factor, the Berthing Master Assistants safety check lists, the ESD and UHF radio. The Pilot will receive all Letters of Protest at the same time. The Berthing Master Assistant has been instructed not to sign for any papers. Mina al Fahal Port Regulations July 2010

22 7.00 SPECIAL REGULATIONS 7.01 INERT GAS OXYGEN CONTENT All vessel s cargo tanks are to be inerted. The Oxygen content of all cargo tanks are to be maintained at less than 8% by volume during operations. During approach to the berth, the Berthing Master Assistant will test 2 cargo tanks. Tanks to ensure that oxygen content is less than 8%, using vessel s equipment. All tankers fitted with an Inert Gas system which are found to be non-operational on arrival at Mina al Fahal will not be accepted for cargo or ballast operations until such deficiencies are rectified. Any failure of the Inert Gas system during cargo or ballast operations will result in an immediate suspension of such operations and the removal of the vessel from the berth until such time as repairs have been carried out and the system is once again operational. Certain wind conditions may bring vented gases back down on to the deck level, even from specially designed vent outlets. Efforts should be made to increase the pressure on the Inert Gas main, especially if Hi Jets are fitted, resulting in the gas dispersing higher above the main deck. The pressure in the Inert Gas main should subsequently be reduced during topping off to avoid entrainment of oil into the venting system. At all times when high, and potentially dangerous, levels of gas are detected or suspected on deck, all non essential work should cease, and only essential personnel should remain on deck, taking all precautions. In addition, when the last cargo carried was a sour crude, tests should be made for hydrogen sulphide. If a level in excess of 10 PPM is detected no personnel should be allowed to work on deck unless they are suitably protected BALLAST With effect from November 1, 2009, all ships, regardless of flag, will be required to exchange, treat or deliver to a shore reception facility all ballast water taken up outside the Regional Organisation for the Protection of the Marine Environment (ROPME) Sea Area*. This comprises the states of Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Vessels arriving from the outside the ROPME Sea Area are to exchange ballast water in waters at least 200 metres deep and 200 nautical miles from the nearest land. If this is not possible for safety reasons, ballast may be exchanged in areas within 200 nautical mile limits, as long as such exchanges are more than 50 miles from the nearest land and in waters at least 200 metres deep. If a ship cannot exchange ballast in the specified depths or at the required distance from land, it will be required to provide the respective port authority with the reason why exchange cannot be achieved. Further ballast water management measures may also be required. Ballast which has been treated with a ballast water treatment system approved in accordance with IMO standards need not to be exchanged. Ships will be required to have on board an approved ballast water management plan in accordance with the IMO standards. Ships should also have and maintain a ballast water record book. *the ROPME Sea Area (RSA) is defined as extending between the following geographic latitudes and longitudes, respectively: 16 39`N, `30``E ; 16 00`N, `E ; 17 00`N, `E ; 20 30`N, `E ; 25 04`N, `E. There are no Ballast reception facilities. Ballast is to be pumped overboard. Vessels must arrive with clean pumps and lines. CBT tankers are not acceptable Mina Al Fahal. Mina al Fahal Port Regulations July 2010

23 8.0 SAFETY PROCEDURES 8.01 COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS/SAFETY GUIDELINES Vessels must comply with local and International Regulations, ISGOTT and OCIMF recommendations IMMOBILISATION OF ENGINES Engines are required to be maintained at 10 minutes notice whilst berthed at the SBM. Immobilisation is not permitted. No testing or maintenance of life-saving appliances, fire-fighting system, or essential ships machinery is permitted whilst berthed at PDO facilities USE OF ENGINES WHILST MOORED TO THE SBM. The responsibility to keep clear of the SBM rests with the Master. The use of the Tug should always be considered as the first option to move the ship clear. The second option is to request additional tugs. If the Master then considers that the use of the ship s engine is still required, then prior to using the ship s engine the Master should ensure that the following conditions are met: 1 :- The Master is in direct contact with the Pilot on the shore radio or the Pilot is onboard. 2 :- Cargo operations are suspended, Hose valve and Manifold valves shut. 3 :- BMA & Chief Officer are on the Foc sle with ships crew FORECASTLE HEAD WATCH As described in ISGOTT, a continuous forecastle head watch must be maintained on the SBM. Any untoward situation including the hawser support buoys fouling the hawsers must be brought immediately to the attention of the Master and the Berthing Master Assistant who will in turn call the Pilot as necessary. We would point out that the responsibility for keeping a forecastle head watch rests with the vessel FIRE WIRES One suitable fire wire should be prepared aft, rigged from the starboard side poop deck and hanging two metres above the water SHIP/SHORE CHECK LISTS As per ISGOTT Ship / Shore safety checklist, periodically inspections will be undertaken as defined during the ship shore safety meeting. A ship s officer should accompany the Berthing Master Assistant during these inspections. The safety requirements in the checklist are fully described in the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT) and you are required to be fully aware of them. We therefore expect you and all under your command to adhere strictly to them throughout your stay in our terminal. We, for our part, will ensure that our personnel do likewise and co-operate fully with you in the mutual interest of safe and efficient operations. If we observe any infringements on board your ship of any of these safety requirements we shall bring this immediately to the attention of yourself or your deputy for corrective action. If such action is not taken in reasonable time we shall adopt such measures as appear to us most appropriate to deal with the situation and shall notify you accordingly USE OF RADIO EQUIPMENT WHILE LOADING The ship s main transmitter and radars must not be used while the vessel is moored to the SBM. There is no restriction on the use of satellite communication. All other transmitting equipment including VHF, AIS are to be set on low power (1W) AIR CONDITIONING Due to the climatic conditions of the area, vessels not fitted with a working air conditioning system pose a threat to the safety of the loading operation. Only in exceptional circumstances when a vessel has demonstrated its ability to comply with all conditions on the ISGOTT Safety Check list, will a vessel without air conditioning be accepted for loading. During all periods of loading air conditioning systems must be in re-circulation mode. Mina al Fahal Port Regulations July 2010

24 8.09 PREVENTION OF PRESSURE SURGES Recent incidents have highlighted the need for greater care and attention during loading operations at SBM terminals. The necessity to prevent pressure surges is paramount. In order to avoid such incidents, you are asked to ensure that loading rates are reduced in ample time whenever necessary i.e. topping-off, changing tanks etc. You are always to inform Fahal Control before you enter your final centre tank or pair of wing tanks. The need for caution can not be overstated. In the event of an emergency STOP CARGO, the vessel s valves should remain open until Fahal Control informs the vessel that flow has stopped LOADICATOR STABILITY AND STRESS Vessels are required to have a working loadicator, certified by Class, and prior to arrival the vessel stability and stress calculations are to have been calculated for all conditions of the forthcoming loading and/or deballasting. Random checks may be made by the Duty Pilot during loading and/or deballasting to ensure that the Bending Moments and Shear Forces experienced by the vessel are not in excess of the safe limits CLOSED LOADING/DISCHARGING Vessels loading crude and/or residue or discharging products must be able to do so with all tanks closed. Tank venting is only permitted via a mast riser or suitable high velocity vents. Any vessel unable to comply with this requirement will not be permitted to load or discharge H2S All vessels coming to Mina Al Fahal are required to report the H2S content in their tanks (in ppm) prior to arrival. Vessels arriving with H2S will be requested to reduce the level in the vapour space to the minimum possible, using the procedures laid down in there operating guidelines. This shall include but not be limited to blowing down the cargo tank vapour spaces and loaded tank isolation. All personnel to be supplied and use H2S personnel meters when on the deck of the vessel WEATHER CRITERIA Berthing/unberthing and hose handling operations will be cancelled or aborted if any of the following weather/sea conditions are exceeded, and the port is then deemed to be closed due to weather. Day Time Mean wind speed of 30 knots. Sea height of 3 metres. Swell height of 3 meters. Visibility less 0.5nm Night Time Mean wind speed of 25 knots. Sea height of 2 metres. Swell height of 2 metres. Visibility less 0.5nm Hose handling operations will also be cancelled or aborted if at any time the tug master or pilot considers that the safety of the tug and its crew is compromised due to excessive sea state or adverse weather conditions. Cargo suspended at mean wind speed 30 knts Cargo hose disconnected mean wind speed 35 knts Vessel sail mean wind speed 40 knts. All of the above are at the discretion of the pilot / Master. Loading must be suspended, and venting stopped, if there is a lightning storm in the vicinity. Refer to Section 5.08 for CBM criteria Mina al Fahal Port Regulations July 2010
