C. Recommendations for Export Tanker approaching Chim Sao Terminal Marine:

• Contact Operation Supervisor of FPSO for permission to enter MEZ at least 10 NM away from FPSO on VHF CH 12/16; FPSO’s Call Sign: LEWEK EMAS CONTROL.
• Without Mooring Master on board, all vessels are requested to keep a safe distance (at least 2 NM) from the following installations within MEZ (see attached sketch).
• A mooring team of 5 to 6 persons will come on board Export Tanker for offloading operation. Before the team coming aboard, to save time for preparation the following should be ready:
  • Pilot combination ladder on lee side (agreed with Operation Supervisor or Mooring Master); height: 1.5m over sea level.
  • Ship crane: to pick up the toolbox from Supply Boat. Crane runner must be connected by a stinger with safety latch hook (length: 2.0-3.0m) and tag lines in case of bad weather.
  • Oxygen analyzer: to check oxygen in loading tanks before offtake under the witness of Mooring Master or his delegate.
  • Deployment of Tanker’s messenger line: 24-36 mm diam. x 220 M rope to be arranged (see attached Sketch) for Semi-Boatless Hose Transfer on Port side Manifold. The Aft maindeck windlass (in front of Accommodation Block) must be empty and ready to heave.
  • Depending on prevailing weather condition and OSV availability, Terminal may apply “Boatless Hose Transfer” method for delivering offloading hose end from FPSO to Tanker manifold. Hence, Expoort Tanker may be requested to prepare 2 coil of messenger 24-36 mm x 220m connected in tandem and deployed as sketch attached below.
  • On Forecastle: winch drum with direct lead to the 76mm chain stopper must be empty to accept a 220 metres of 24-36mm messenger and 150 metres of 72mm pick-up line of the tandem mooring system. Just a short messenger 24-36mm x 30-50m to be connected to winch drum and ready to use. 1 crowbar, 1 hammer to be ready.
  • On poop deck: Aft poop deck windlass, 2 heaving lines, 1 chain stopper, 1 plier, 1 crowbar, 1 hammer must be ready for picking up towing pendant wire.
• In case of bad weather and request of deviation is granted, the pilot boarding ground is Mui Vung Tau (10°15’N; 107°05’E). Please contact Vung Tau Port Control on VHF 16/09 from distance 24NM, 12 NM, 6 NM to the POB point for more information and instructions.
