1.4 SPM PARTICULARS
One CALM type SPM 856 is installed for loading/discharging crude oil Tankers. The SPM buoy is secured to the seabed by 6 anchors. The Terminal is open for operations 24 hours per day throughout the year, weather permitting.
Water depth: 20 metres at LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide). Specific gravity of the Baltic Sea water is approximately 1.0065, almost fresh water.
The SPM Mooring System consists of a single mooring hawser of 55 metres (180ft.) finished length, with a galvanized cast thimble spliced at each end. Minimum Break Load of Single Leg Hawser: 590 T.
The hawser is connected to a special end link, in which the shackle of the support buoy is positioned and a 76 mm ORQ stud link chain at the SPM end. At the shipboard end the hawser has a 10 metre long ORQ 76 mm stud link chafing chain, which is connected by a “D” shackle to a 72 mm diametre polypropylene pick up line 110 metres in length.
Tankers are loaded/discharged using two 12” port side manifold connections, via SPM floating hoses. The size of the two floating hose strings is 16” reducing to 12”. The approximate length of the floating hose strings is 260 metres. The safety device - double closure breakaway coupling is installed in each floating hose string.
1.4.1 TANKER ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
The Terminal is designed to accept Tankers, up to 150,000 Tonnes Deadweight. Tankers having an alternative tonnage in excess of 150,000 tonnes are not acceptable. Only Segregated Ballast Tankers (SBT) are accepted at the Butinge Terminal SPM.
The Tanker is required to have OCIMF approved chain stopper (minimum 200 tons S.W.L.). Forward Panama or bow fair lead requires to have an opening with a minimum of 600 x 450 mm, in order to accept 76 mm. mooring chafe chain. N.B. Smit Towing Bracket is not acceptable.
Butinge Terminal has no ship generated waste and cargo residues facilities, therefore it is recommended that Tankers shall arrive at the Butinge Terminal with not more than 25% (twenty-five percent) of the ship-generated waste and cargo residues tank capacity utilized.
Before the departure to the Butinge Terminal the Tanker shall send notification that the ship generated waste and cargo residues were discharged at the last port of call and / or shall arrive at the Butinge Terminal with not more than 25% (twenty-five percent) of the ship generated waste and cargo residues tank capacity utilized.
In order to comply with all necessary national and international Maritime Safety, Environmental and Insurance requirements, the Butinge Terminal only accepts Tankers positively vetted by a contracted Tanker Vetting Service.
In the event information is not sufficient and contracted Tanker Vetting Service cannot produce a Vetting Report of a specific offered Tanker by the Shipper/Supplier of cargo, the Butinge Terminal Marine Department has a right to invite the contracted Tanker Vetting Service to inspect the Tanker, if possible, in the last port of call. All applicable charges will be for ship owner’s account.
If the Vetting Report is negative, the Butinge Terminal Marine Operations Manager will advise the Shipper/Supplier of the cargo in writing that the Tanker is not accepted to load/discharge at the Butinge Terminal.
It will be the intention of the Butinge Terminal to comply with all requirements including but not limited to requirements for single hull tankers as set out in the European Union legislation.

1.4.3 MAXIMUM OPERATING CONDITIONS
The maximum operating conditions for the Butinge Terminal SPM are as follows:
Action Wind speed in Nautical Miles per hour (knots)
Significant wave height
Hook up to SPM 30 knots 2.5 metre Stop cargo transfer, unmoor SPM more than 35 knots 3.0 metre Embarking personnel on Tanker 25 knots 2.0 – 2.5 metre
In wintertime ice formations may also interrupt or delay Tanker-loading operations
The SPM is equipped with a load monitoring system. Hawser tension is recorded in the Terminal Control Room. In adverse weather conditions these readings will assist in determining when the Tanker should prepare to unmoor and vacate the berth. Maximum operational hawser tension is 80 tonnes. When this limit is reached, weather conditions and forecasts have to be reconsidered. Cargo operations will be stopped and Tanker disconnected, when the hawser tension reaches 90 tonnes.
The Butinge Terminal Loading Master in concert with the Marine Operations Manager are the only persons vested with authority to declare the Butinge Terminal SPM closed/open.
1.5 METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION
The prevailing winds from the NW, W and SW comprising about 43% of the winds observed. South Easterly-winds are more frequent during the cold period from November to February. On the coast the average wind velocity is around 12 miles/hour, storm winds predominate in September-January, while in May-June they are seldom observed.
The moderate and warm winters (78% of the total winters) are typical to the Baltic Eastern coast. Cold winters comprise about 19% and extremely cold winters 3%. During these periods the ice belt may reach several hundred metres. Waves and winds bring the drifting ice to the shore forming fast ice that resembles a field of ice-hummock and over thrust sometimes several kilometres wide.
The average seawater temperature on the coast is +8.4 degrees Centigrade, the absolute minimum temperature -0.3 degrees, and the absolute maximum temperature +24.9 degrees Centigrade.
Wind induced currents are most common on the Lithuanian coast and are running parallel to the coast in a Northerly direction with winds coming from the W, SW, S and SE. Generally the current is setting anti-clock wise in the Baltic Sea and runs at a speed of less than 0.3 knots. Winds of N, NW, E and NE-directions generally form South directed current streams. Heavy storm induced currents may reach 4 knots.
The range is insignificant and varies between 0.3 to 0.6 metres.
We refer to the Admiralty Pilot for the Baltic Region for detailed information.
1.6 TUGS
UAB Smit Octo operates the tugs at the Terminal in co-operation with the local tug operator UAB Towage & Marine Assistance, manned by Lithuanian nationals.
Smit Sulawesi 73 tons Bollard Pull Tak 3 25 tons Bollard Pull
It is a compulsory requirement that two tugs are always in attendance during berthing, loading/discharging and unberthing operations. “UK standard conditions for towage and other services” apply.

They must be properly made fast on the ship while having sufficient slack flaked out on deck for effective towing, the slack being made secure in a safe and professional manner.
6. BALLAST DISCHARGE AND POLLUTION CONTROL 6.1 BALLAST OPERATIONS
Because of environmental requirements (see HELCOM recommendations), it is recommended that prior to arrival ballast water be changed to Baltic Sea or North Sea water. The discharge of contaminated ballast water from crude oil Tankers is strictly prohibited in the Baltic Sea.
Failure to do this would seriously affect the marine life, fish farming industry, and bird life. Company is not responsible for any dead freight, expenses or loss incurred due to the prohibition to discharge dirty ballast.
REVISION G 16
AB MAZEIKIU NAFTA BUTINGE TERMINAL SPM PORT INFORMATION BOOK
Segregated ballast may be discharged overboard subject to the approval of the Butinge Terminal Loading Master. Loading Master will check the segregated ballast tanks logbook prior to discharge and quality of ballast water during discharge.
For safety reasons, Tankers must keep at least the 30% of the Tankers deadweight at any moment during discharge/ loading.
Ballast discharge shall be monitored and if contaminants are discovered, Tankers shall be fined according to the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, Tankers shall cover all expenses related to sea pollution control, clean-up operations, as well as any claims and/or requests for compensation of damages, including payments of fines applied by the Governmental institutions of the Republic of Lithuania.
6.2 POLLUTION OF THE SEA
The Loading Master shall ensure that Masters of Tankers are familiar with, and strictly observe, all local regulations concerning the Safety of operations and Pollution of the sea by oil or waste while inside the Terminal waters, Navigation corridor, and Terminal anchorage.

All operations must be suspended until the cause of the pollution has been established and clean up operations completed to the satisfaction of the requirements of the Republic of Lithuania and Company requirements. Scupper plugs must be fitted and cemented in as necessary. In the event of rain, action must be taken to prevent an accumulation of water in the scuppers.
All costs involved in monitoring and “clean up” of pollution or any other claims or requirements related to pollution will be attributed to the ship in addition to any fine, which Authorities of the Republic of Lithuania may impose. Company reserves the right to cease all operations and remove the Tanker from the berth if, in the Company’s opinion, there is continued or blatant disregard of anti-pollution requirements.
It is required that the Tanker Owner is a member of a Pollution Protection Federation or Association.
Any Tanker involved in a pollution incident will not be released from the Butinge Terminal until the matter has been satisfactorily resolved. In such events the Company shall not be liable for any demurrage, loss, claims or demands resulting from or relative to any such actions.
6.3 AIR POLLUTION
Tankers arriving at the Terminal having previously carried a high H2S content cargo are required to purge their cargo tanks prior to arrival. Such Tankers shall confirm, via “Standard message-crude oil Tankers” reply, that cargo tank atmosphere contain H2S levels below 10 ppm (the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) in ISGOTT).
Tankers arriving with cargo tank atmosphere more than 10 ppm will not be berthed. All delays, losses and costs associated with this action shall be for Tanker’s account.
Tankers arriving at the Terminal whose previous cargo contained a high H2S cargo must take the following actions:
a) Inform the Terminal of nature of previous cargo prior to arrival.
b) Take all precautions to maximally prevent high concentrations of H2S being vented during loading.
See also Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) Awareness Document and Material Safety Data Sheet (see Appendices).
During cargo operations, where vented tank gases, according to the requirements of the Republic of Lithuania, cause a nuisance to the surrounding area through H2S content, Tankers may suffer delays when loading rates are reduced or loading is stopped. Costs for any delays or Tanker movements as a result shall be for Tanker’s account.

HYDROGEN SULPHIDE (H2S) – AWARENESS DOCUMENT
Please be advised that the cargo you are about to load may contain high Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and an element of Mercaptans in the gas evolved from this cargo. We draw your attention to the extract from Chapter 15, Section 5 of the “International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers & Terminals” below. You are warned accordingly to take all precautions during the loading, transit passage and subsequent tank cleaning operations, ballasting/deballasting operations, and maneuvering operations. HYDROGEN SULPHIDE (Extract from ISGOTT: Paragraph 15.5) Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) has a disagreeable smell of rotten eggs, it rapidly deadens the sense of smell, however, and dangerous concentrations often cannot be detected by smell. Hydrogen Sulphide paralyses the respiratory system, its action is dramatically rapid, and an individual exposed to high concentrations collapses instantly, apparently dead. Rescuers, wearing breathing apparatus, should remove the victim immediately to fresh air and artificial respiration and other measures should be applied. Resuscitators should be readily available whenever crude containing Hydrogen Sulphide is handled. The TLV (Threshold Limit Value) of Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is 10 ppm (parts per million). The effects of gas at concentrations in air in excess of the TLV are: 50 - 100 ppm Eye and respiratory tract irritation after exposure of one hour 200 - 300 ppm Marked eye respiratory tract irritation after exposure of one hour 500 - 700 ppm Dizziness, headache, nausea etc. within 15 minutes, loss of consciousness and possible
death after 30 – 60 minutes exposure 700 - 900 ppm Rapid unconsciousness, death occurs a few minutes later 1000-2000 ppm Cessation of breathing and instantaneous death MERCAPTANS Mercaptans are flammable, water-soluble gases having a very disagreeable odour described as rotten cabbage. It has been reported to exhibit an acute toxicity similar to, but less than Hydrogen Sulphide, and its effects and antidotes are identical to those of Hydrogen Sulphide, as described above. It is important to distinguish between concentrations of Hydrogen Sulphur (H2S) in the atmosphere, expressed in ppm by volume, and concentrations in liquid petroleum expressed in ppm by weight. For example: a crude oil containing 70 ppm (by weight) of Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), has been shown to give rise to a concentration of 7,000 ppm (by volume) in the gas stream leaving an ullage port above the crude tank.

DECK WATCH
A continuous deck watch consisting of minimum one seaman at the manifold area and one seaman on the forecastle have to be maintained for the duration of SPM occupancy. A responsible officer should make frequent deck rounds.
The fo'c'sle look-out should also report any significant changes in the position and/or distance of the SPM to the Loading Master. See diagram below. The Butinge Terminal tug will remain secured to tanker's stern throughout your stay at the SPM. Please ensure that a periodic check is made upon the condition of the tow rope aft. Advise the Loading Master if:- Any electrical storms/lightning/heavy rain are seen approaching the Vessel. Any significant changes in wind force and / or direction are observed. There are any Cargo / Loading difficulties. There are any gas leaks or Safety problems. PLEASE ENSURE YOUR SHIP'S MAIN ENGINES ARE ON IMMEDIATE NOTICE.
The Loading Master listens on the private V.H.F. Channel 1 continuously, day and night. Please ensure that the Loading Master responds to calls at any time.
IN AN EMERGENCY, IF THE LOADING MASTER CANNOT BE CONTACTED, LOADING MAY BE STOPPED BY CALLING THE BUTINGE TERMINAL CONTROL ROOM ON THE PRIVATE CHANNELS 1-3 OR VHF CHANNEL 71, OR BY CONTINUOUS SOUNDING OF THE SHIP'S WHISTLE.

WARNING AGAINST RESTRICTING THE SHORE FLOW RATE THE DANGERS Your attention is drawn to the serious dangers associated with closing tanker valves against the prevailing cargo flow rate or reducing the number of tanks available for loading without first informing the Loading Master. Surge forces rapidly develop in any pipeline system that is subjected to a reduction in outflow prior to a corresponding reduction in input rates. These surge forces are manifested as destructive forces within the pipeline system, which in addition to damaging the loading system, could result in fire, explosion or severe pollution incidents. Butinge Terminal employs emergency tripping sensors and mechanisms to guard against such dangers. In the event of failure of mechanical devices the emergency shut down (ESD) will be initiated. RECOMMENDATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS It is recommended that before loading operations are commenced, the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and terminals (ISGOTT) is fully reviewed in respect to communications, valve operations, topping off procedures and pressure surges. Because instant adjustment of loading rates is not possible, you must, when requested a reduction in flow rate, allow adequate time for the reduction in flow to your ship. You must also notify the Loading Master in good time prior to any action, which may cause a restriction in flow rate. In case of emergency, please see the “Emergency Shut Down” chapter 7.10.
The Ship shall maintain a MINIMUM OF TWO main cargo tank valves FULLY OPEN at all times to the incoming cargo.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are the Ship's valves to be closed against the incoming flow of Crude Oil except upon the express advice of the Loading Master.
THE LOADING MASTER MUST BE INFORMED:
1. If loading is to be restricted to one tanker tank only, 2. Prior to the commencement of any deballasting operations
3. Prior to any intended cargo valve and/or cargo pumps operation on board the tanker. 4. Prior to commencement of crude oil washing (cowing) operations.(crude oil discharging tankers) 5. Any problems associated with draining of vessel’s cargo tanks.(crude oil discharging tankers)
The Master is requested to instruct all Officers and Crewmembers not to operate any cargo valve and/or cargo pump, without explicitly informing the Loading Master in advance. Tanker’s cargo operations, especially cargo tank change-overs, must be controlled by a responsible officer at all times. Each set of cargo tank valves must be FULLY OPENED BEFORE the preceding set is started to close. PENALTIES You are advised that it is AB Mazeikiu Nafta policy to seek recompense, to the full extent permitted by law, for all and any unplanned costs that are incurred due to the negligence or fault of a tanker and/or third party. See Appendix “Conditions of Use of Terminal”

EARLY DEPARTURE PROCEDURE
1. Masters should be aware that the Early Departure Procedure is compulsory at the Butinge Terminal.
In any case, on tanker arrival Masters are requested to sign a letter, which is an agreement in principle to the Procedure regarding irreproachable execution of the Procedure. The Customs and the Border Police officers perform the inspection of the leaving tanker without boarding it.
2. On completion of loading, cargo hoses will be disconnected and the tanker unmoored from the SPM. 3. Concurrent with Item 2 above the vessel’s tank ullages, water dips, and other criteria will be taken by
the Company appointed Cargo Surveyor and the independent Cargo Surveyor. Usually this practice is completed prior to unmooring operations.
4. The vessel will then be manoeuvred to a safe position, which is to the seaward of the SPM, and then
stopped to await shore cargo figures. 5. Shore cargo figures will be passed to the vessel by VHF-radio by the Terminal representative. These
figures represent the Bill of Lading figures. The ship’s cargo figures will be passed to the Butinge Terminal Control Room via VHF-radio by the
Loading Master. If there is no dispute over the differences between ship and shore cargo figures then the vessel is free
to sail. In case of a dispute the respective cargo figures will be recalculated and compared once more before
the vessel is released. If the tanker Master chooses to issue a Letter of Protest, this will be received by the Loading Master. 6. NO CARGO DOCUMENTS ARE PASSED TO THE VESSEL, EITHER IN COMPLETED OR BLANK
FORM. 7. All cargo documents which require tanker Master’s signature will be signed by the vessel’s Agent after
the documents have been prepared by the shipper, which will be after the vessel’s departure. Authorization to sign all necessary cargo documents is a matter between the tanker Master and
the vessel’s Agent. 8. Copies of the signed Bill of Lading and Quantity & Quality Certificate will be sent by
facsimile/electronic mail to the tanker. If the vessel does not have a fax/e-mail, the Master can nominate a fax/e-mail address to which
they can be sent. 9. Master’s copies of cargo documents are forwarded to the nominated discharge port by courier.
