Welcome Dear Master / Visitor, Welcome alongside our terminal or planning arriving inbound. Now that you are interested in our terminal, either already alongside or planning pre-arrival. We would like to draw your attention to some safety regulations. Especially the pre arrival operation information and instruction. This booklet gives a short overview of the relevant regulations and safety instructions for: Masters, Crew, Agencies and Charters. The basic considerations of those regulations are the Environmental permit, the Rotterdam harbour regulations and the Euro Tank Terminal regulations and safety instructions. The safety regulations which are laid down by the Government and all other regulations which are applicable on this terrain and the installation must be followed carefully by all those who access the terrain or those on board a vessel which is moored on one of our jetties. As such, these regulations apply to you and all other crew members on board your vessel. We would like to specifically draw your attention to the total ban regarding the lighting of fire or causing any type of pollution. During the time that our personnel are involved in activities related to the loading or discharging of a vessel, the Master or the mate replacing him should always be available on board. We are sure that you will understand that all the regulations must be followed carefully, not only to guarantee the safety of your vessel, the installation and the cargo but also in the general interest of the city and the harbour. We kindly request that you read the registered jetty conditions and read the communication procedure. The master of the vessel will ensure that all crew, officers, passengers of who has interests are fully informed regarding the terminal rules and regulations. This is applicable but not limited to: IBC/BCH code, ISGOTT, harbour regulations, local and national legislations remain valid. This will apply to all visiting vessels Yours sincerely, Euro Tank Terminal B.V.

Emergency procedures

An emergency stop can be given by 2 means;

1) ESD button.

All vessels will receive a box with emergency stop button for use on deck. After pushing this button an Emergency Shutdown (ESD) is activated. - This ESD closes the shore ESD valves automatic, even on discharge! On discharge it will NOT stop the cargo pump on board! - On load vessels an ESD stops the shore cargo pump. And ESD will give an alarm in the CCR of ETT control. After an ESD a terminal operator / loadingmaster will always check your vessel. NOTE: After an ESD ETT control will need to reset the system, on load vessels it will take at least 10 minutes. 2) Verbal.

Call: STOP STOP STOP “vessels name” via the shore radio All vessels will receive a shore radio for communication between the vessel and terminal. In case of emergency of when needed call ETT control via the shore radio. Further information about the shore radio can be found on page 16. During this always identify your vessel in a calm and slow manner! Terminal emergency services

• Fire and rescue On the Terminal all jetties are equipped at with least 1 firefighting monitor, these monitors can supply green water and a mixture of air firefighting foam. The general purpose of these monitors will be damage control rather than firefighting. these monitors can be fed by 3 fire water pumps (up to 1350 m3/hr water each) and 2 foam supply pumps (up to 60m3/hr foam each) or by port authority patrol vessel. ETT does only have basic emergency trained personnel, in case of a fire on board of onsite industrial fire fighters will be dispatched. ETA of industrial fire trucks to ETT is approx. 10 minutes

• Medical Emergency All our operational personnel are trained in basic first aid and basic emergency rescue. Port emergency services • Equipment Type: Patrol Vessels • Equipment Availability: 8 patrol vessels, equipped with oil absorbing booms (up to 100 meters per vessel), firefighting equipment (up to 1 x 2700 m3/hr and 2 x 600 m3/hr with foam per vessel) • Equipment Type: Fire Fighting • Equipment Availability: Special shore connections to connect patrol boats so they can provide extra pressure on the shore fire line • Equipment Type: Oil Spill Response • Equipment Availability: Containers with 300 meters boom inside are strategically positioned in the port area. In total there is 4500 meters of boom available. The booms are deployed by the royal boatmen association Eendracht. There are 3 to 5 special designed vessels stand by to recover the oil. Acoustic Emergency alarms

• Slow whoop General emergency alarm / fire alarm; all activities should stop! All personnel must muster at designated muster stations / assembly points and await further instructions by ETT control or personnel.

• Fast whoop Gas alarm, all activities should stop! all personnel must find safe haven inside and close all ventilation. And await further instructions by ETT control.

• Monotonous tone Safe signal, work related activities can be resumed.

Note: every first Monday of the month at 12:00 LT all alarms will be tested, the testing will begin and end with the “safe signal”.

General terminal information

Dear Master / Visitor, The ETT is a state-of-the-art facility and is strategically located in Europe’s busiest port and operating 24/7 /365. Our Terminal is equipped with multiple combined jetties for seagoing vessels and barges. Unlike surrounding terminals ETT can receive loaded VLCC’s; by the deep Caland channel leading from Europoort to the Maasvlakte. Other than Very Large Crude Carriers ETT has the possibility to load and discharge barges, railroad cars and trucks. Our jetty 4 is designed for a whole other kind of VLCC; on where we discharge Very Little Chemical Carriers into the pipeline of the Rotterdam Oxo-alcohol Plant.

VTTI Currently Euro Tank Terminal B.V. is one of 17 terminals operating under the VTTI flag, following the VTTI way. Next to The Netherlands we have terminals in 15 countries, across 5 continents, with a total capacity of 10.200.000m3. To give an idea how much liquid this is. This is enough to fill 4080 Olympic swimming pools or 32 fully loaded VLCC’s.

ETT Capacity: up to app. 1.300.000m3 Tanks: 32 Cargo oil tanks Jetty’s/ quay’s: 14 berths Rail: 4 railroad load stations Truck: 1 truck load station Pipeline: 3; 1 to the Rotterdam oxo alcohol Plant, 1 NATO pipeline, 1 to DME-plant

Tank usage Type tank: mild steel, mild steel coated, mild steel insulated and stainless steel suitable for K1, K2 and K3 products. Our tanks are currently in use for: black oils / Fuel Oil, gasoil / diesel, jet / kerosene and methanol. Besides the products mentioned befor Euro Tank Terminal B.V. can also house minerals (crude oils, naphtha’s, gasoline and VGO’s) and chemicals (petrochemicals, solvents and alcohols)

General information Port of

Rotterdam Note: Euro tank terminal B.V. nor the VTTI has any interests in the following information. For a more detailed elaboration please visit: https://www.portofrotterdam.com/en General Information The port provides facilities for cargo handling, storage, and distribution. The port area also accommodates an extensive industrial complex. Most major carriers include Rotterdam in their services. From this strategically located port, the containers destined for other European countries are then forwarded by feeder services, inland vessels, railway or trucks. The size of the port’s industrial area and its position at the gateway of the European inland waterway network makes the port of Rotterdam ideally located for the trans-shipment of cargo. The port of Rotterdam is well equipped for handling bulk and general cargoes, coal and ores, crude oil, agricultural products, chemicals, containers, cars, fruit, and refrigerated cargoes. Facilities for ship repair, maintenance and storage are available. The port is never closed because of ice. Indeed, even in severe winters when drift ice is present in the river, the traffic of seagoing vessels continues uninterrupted.

Pre-arrival operational information

and instructions Pilotage - Arrival: Euro Tank Terminal B.V. will contact your agent for permission to arrive inbound, if permission had been granted to set course inbound. MAAS PILOT will contact your vessel on VHF CH# 1 with further information. - Departure: After cargo operations or when necessary ETT control will contact your agent to order the pilot for departure. It is mostly common for the pilot to arrive by taxi and embark via the gangway.

H2S/ partly laden - Vessels which are partly loaded or could contain levels of H2S in the cargo tanks will have to issue a certificate which records the level of H2S in PPM and O2 in % in each cargo tank prior to berthing of the vessel.

Documents - For the ship shore safety meeting the following documents are necessary if on board. Please prepare these papers on forehand.

• loading: NOR, OBQ, VEF, H2S report, ships particulars, crew list, (if not empty: documents of the cargo on board)

• discharging: NOR, Ullage report departure, ullage report arrival, Bill of lading, cargo manifest, custom documents, certificate of origin, H2S report, VEF, MSDS, crew list, ships particulars.

Reducers - In case any reducers are required between vessel and shore, this should be arranged by agent.

ISPS/ DoS - In normal operation the vessel and terminal will have the same ISPS level: no #1. In this case a declaration of security is not singed by the terminal. The representative of the PFSO is available via tell: +31 181 24 00 16.

Parking - Visitors to your vessel must park in the designated parking spaces only, please address this information to any visitors.

Stores - Small parcels of vessel stores may be delivered to the beginning of the jetty. Crew can take the parcels and bring them on board.

12

Note: small parcels are parcels that can be carried by 1 Hand, so 1 hand is available for the railing - Bigger parcels, bulk stores, heavy parcels are only to be delivered by barge. This barge should be arranged by your agent.

Garbage - For the disposal of garbage the vessel should arrange a barge, as Euro Tank Terminal B.V. has no facility to receive garbage. A barge can be arranged by agent. - This goes for Hazardous materials, scrap, etc too.

Bunkers - For the receipt of bunkers, barges should be arranged by agent. - all bunker manifolds should be kept closed and bunkers are not permitted unless permission has been granted by ETT control. - On quay E, Jetty 1 outside, jetty 2Q and jetty 4 interactions with barges restrict other vessels and movement.

Sludge - For sludge are the same regulations in use as for bunkers.

Potable water - Potable water is not available on any berth at Euro Tank Terminal B.V., any potable water can be arranged by barge through the agent

Gangway - On west outside, east outside and 1 outside a fixed gangway is available. This gangway will only be operated by a loadingmaster or terminal operator. - on quay E, jetty 2Q and jetty 4 a small portable gangway is available. Jetty 2 and 4 are also equipped with fixed emergency stairs - The deck watch on board will have the responsibility to check the gangway at regular intervals, when necessary the OOW should inform ETT to reposition the shore gangway

Cranes - the use of any crane on deck is prohibited unless permission is granted by ETT control. - At Wind speed 7 Bf and up (>51km/h, >28kn) the use of the vessels crane is prohibited! - Any crane used by the vessel must be operated in accordance with the vessels SMS - The crane operator must be trained and competent to use the crane - All loads must be properly secured - Any strap, sling, line must be safe and checked on regular intervals according vessels planned maintenance - The area direct below the lift is a no-go area. - A messenger line is preferred and can be demanded on request of the loadingmaster / terminal operator.

13

Mooring - It is not allowed to re-arrange your mooring ropes on the jetty. - The royal boatmen association Eendracht have to be arranges by your agent. - The pilot will discuss with the master how the springs, breasts, and lines will be arranged.

Vapour collection - ETT terminal owns a state-of-the-art vapour treatment system to collect and process cargo vapours with minimal emission to the environment

PPE - Proper PPE must be worn in accordance with the vessels SMS. Terminal requirements are at least: a helmet, boiler suit, safety shoes, proper gloves, safety glasses. The SMS can request additional PPE, use them wisely.

Ballast - Ballasting should only be done accordingly Marpol Annex VII - Only separated ballast may be discharges overboard. - Keep our jetty dry, do not flood them with ballast water.

Emergency towing-off pennants (fire wire) - Fire wires are not mandatory Explosive atmosphere - Only intrinsic safe equipment is allowed on deck and on the terminal. - Open fires, smoking, incendiary devices, non-EX equipment are prohibited!

Tank cleaning - Crude oil wash (COW) is not allowed alongside our berths - Prewash of cargo tanks after discharge of chemicals is allowed, only if necessary for inspection by Marpol agents

Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) - None personnel at ETT is certified for the use of SCBA, due to the nature of some cargos loadingmasters might appeal on your crew to connect or disconnect wearing SCBA.

Draining, emptying of loading arms and hoses - The most common practice to drain the loading arm/ hose is to use compressed air of nitrogen pressure to blow the loading arm/ hose empty in the cargo line. - MLA’s for white oils and methanol can be drained by a drain pump, however it is less common practice.

Personnel - The personnel working in the field are: loadingmasters, jetty (wo)men, terminal representatives and operators. One colleague can fur fill multiple tasks.

14

Wind & weather Cranes At Wind speed 7 Bf and up (>51km/h, >28kn) the use of the vessels crane is prohibited! Cargo - Stop cargo operation

• At wind speed of 9 Bf and up (>72km/h, > 41kn) cargo operations will be suspended! Or at advice of ETT control Emptying of the cargo arms / hoses is possible.

• if thunderstorms / lightning storms are less than 10 seconds away from the terminal cargo operations will be suspended.

- Disconnection

• Disconnection and unberthing will be agreed upon. This will depend on current situation; wind direction, swell, etc.

Port conditions When gale force winds are expected (Beaufort 8), weather forecasts are being transmitted at 00.50, 01.50, 02.50, etc. on VHF Ch. 19 by the Harbour Coordination Centre. Phenomena: Wind • Details: Prevailing winds west to south west, force 4 or 5. Relative frequency of wind forces greater than force 7 Beaufort 2% Phenomena: Tide • Details: In a period of 24 hours there are 2 high waters and 2 low waters, with different amplitudes. A special phenomenon manifests itself at Hoek van Holland, which has a double low tide with the second low water lower than the first. Strong and sustained winds from the north west raise water levels along the Dutch coast. Strong and sustained winds from the south-east have the opposite effect. • Location: Hoek van Holland Phenomena: Sea • Details: The wind and tide strongly influence the sea conditions in the approaches to the Maas Entrance. Storm conditions may make entering the harbour hazardous. The main effects are: storm force winds from the north west cause a rough sea with a possible ground swell at the time of Low Water. Wave heights may exceed 6 meters. The best time to enter is from about 2 hours before to 2 hours after High Water, especially about High Water. Reducing speed to let the waves run faster than the vessel is recommended in these circumstances. Storm force winds from the south west cause less severe seas. The best time to enter is 1 to 2 hours after high water, when the strength of the ingoing current will have decreased and the vessel will be less likely to swing to starboard when entering.

15

A ground swell can occasionally arise while the ebb current is running. A confused sea can occur when an out flowing current meets a strong westerly wind. • Location: Hoek van Holland Phenomena: Fog • Details: Frequency of visibility less than 1500 meters is 1,4%. The frequency of visibility less than 500 meters is 0,6% • Location: Hoek van Holland Phenomena: Water Density • Details: Ranges from 1.025 at high water to 1.012 at low water • Location: Europoort Phenomena: Seiches • Details: Appear in the Europoort area with extremes near the Rozenburg locks. Under extreme conditions a tidal difference of 0,20 meter can occur. Although seiches are hard to predict, they will be taken into consideration in the daily predictions whenever possible • Location: Europoort

16

UHF All vessels receive a shore UHF and should use them wisely. Once every 8 hours ETT personnel will board your vessel to change the battery. The interval of radio checks will be agreed in the ISGOTT checklist.

- Callsign: ETT Control Do’s

- Emergency’s: for example but not limited to; accident, spill, fire, emergency, personnel injury, empty battery

- Repositioning of shore gangway - Reposition cargo hose (only for Quay E) - If you want to call ETT control wait your turn until other conversations

have ended. - Report high pressure in the vapour return hose

Don’ts

- Question for Botlek stores, sunny radio, taxi etc - Ask permission to make shore leave

NOTE: Some of the UHF radio have a man down function, this means if the radio lays down it will make alarm and automatic open connection to our emergency channel.

17

Shore leave Crew who wish to go ashore should wait for immigration to clear the vessel, Immigration can take up to 6 hours after the all fast time to board. If immigration does not board the vessel is cleared anyway for crew to go ashore. The terminal will give permission, this permission will only be valid if the following procedure has been followed. All vessels on jetty west and east outside (Caland A, B and D): - The vessel itself should arrange the taxi - At the end of the jetty next to our control room is a small glass shelter where to wait aka taxi waiting point (orange route). - Do not walk any further. - Do not go inside any building. - Do not touch anything, no car, no motorbike. - PPE is not mandatory for crew when they go ashore, if only they walk direct to the taxi waiting point. All vessels on quay E and jetty 1 outside - The vessel itself should arrange the taxi. - crew coming from quay E must walk in south-east direction towards the red barrier gate (red route). - Crew coming from jetty 1M outside should follow the jetty and wait at the end, also near the red barrier (purple route). - PPE is not mandatory for crew when they go ashore, if only they walk direct to the barrier. All vessels on jetty 2Q and jetty 4 -The vessel itself should arrange the taxi. - crew going ashore should walk toward the road and wait at the parking spaces on the taxi. Yellow route for jetty 2Q and blue route for jetty 4. - PPE is not mandatory for crew when they go ashore, if only they walk direct to the parking space. Note: passports are mandatory as the taxi will take the crew to the security guard before exiting and after returning. Note: ETT control will NOT call any taxi, sunny, Botlek stores or any other service. The vessel should use the vessels phone and call agent to arrange taxi or services.

Terminal safety regulations

THE MASTER OF THE VESSEL WILL ENSURE THAT ALL CREW MEMBERS ARE FULLY INFORMED REGARDING THE TERMINAL RULES AND REGULATIONS. THE IBC/BCH CODE + HARBOUR REGULATIONS AND LOCAL/NATIONAL LEGISLATION REMAIN VALID. THE FOLLOWING TERMINAL RULES APPLY TO ALL VISITING VESSELS. Load, Discharge, Ballast and Bunkering Procedure 1. Loading and discharging of substances in the category 3, 6.1, 8 and 9 in the Handbook Dangerous Substances and flammable substances covered under the Dangerous Substances Act in non-packaged, fluid or gas form. 2. Adding or removing ballast in tanks which have contained any of the substances referred to in clause 1 and which have not been cleaned. 3. Loading of propulsion fuel from the harbour installation or the transfer of cargo on board vessels containing any of the substances referred to in clause 1 or onboard vessels engaged in the activities referred to in clause 1 and/or 2. 4. Loading or discharging of any materials other than those referred to in clauses 1 and 3 on board vessels containing any of the substances referred to in clause 1. Before commencing the activities described in clauses 1, 2, 3 and 4 the procedures to be followed must be discussed. The master responsible for the vessel and the operator responsible for the harbour installation must have agreed on these procedures before commencing activities. All relevant agreements must be confirmed in writing on the relevant form. Both parties must agree upon any charges that could affect the procedures before these changes are made. Following this agreement, all relevant changes must be recorded in writing as soon as possible and before commencing activities. At the very least, the changes must be recorded in writing during the working shift of the responsible persons on board or operating the harbour installation during whose working shift the changes were made. The connection manifold on board of the vessel and on the harbour installation must be adequately lit during darkness with safe lighting fittings. The intensity of the lighting should be at least 20 lux. If the properties of the substance with regard to static electricity and the conditions in the tank which is to be loaded make this necessary, no materials which conduct

21

electricity may be inserted into the tank during loading of the tank, and for 30 minutes afterwards. If a thunderstorm advances to within 10 seconds of the vessel the cargo activities must be stopped. All openings in the deck and gas pipes must be closed and remain closed for the duration of the storm. If activities are being carried out on the vessel as described in clauses 1,2, 3 and 4, the vessel must ensure that an effective watch is present on deck and adequate supervision of the vessel is carried out. The nature of the supervision should ensure that any occurrence of a dangerous event during the above mentioned activities can be prevented. In cases where despite the supervision, a dangerous situation occurs, materials must be available to the personnel involved and they must be able to take action to end the situation immediately or minimize the consequences as much as possible. All personnel directly involved in the activities as described in clause 1,2,3 and 4 in the working area should be fully aware of the hazards posed by the relevant substances. If the operator of the installation concludes that the supervision or communication on the vessel is not being carried out or is not adequate, he will take immediate action to restore communication of supervision. The operator is authorized to stop the loading and discharging or to have this stopped if the communication cannot be restored or irregularities take place (leaks, spills etc.) and/or insufficient supervision is being carried out by the vessels crew and/or if the vessel or its crew are acting contrary to any regulation or agreement made with the installation. Application Regulations contained in this document will be applied within the Restricted Area and other areas associated with the jetties. Conditions of acceptance Berthing Vessel will normally berth when it has been determined by the terminal that a berth and the nominated cargo / tankage is available. Terminal will advise the agent and order the polit. Time alongside For vessels loading and/or discharging time will count from the All fast time to the time the pilot embarks. Not included will delays caused by; - Tidal conditions - Weather conditions - Traffic controls

22

Removal of vessel Euro tank terminal BV reserves the right to suspend operations and require the removal of any vessel from a jetty for; - Exceeding a reasonable berth time. Such right shall also apply before the expiry of the period if the Company establishes beyond reasonable doubt that, due to vessel’s fault, operations are unlikely to be completed within the period. - Flagrant or continued disregard of Regulations. - Unsatisfactory vessels equipment, crew performances or operations which in the opinion of the Company present a hazard to the Company’s premises, personnel, operations or the vessel. - Failure to utilize satisfactorily the available jetty facilities and in the opinion of the Company, constitutes an unacceptable. On strain on the Company’s operations. Costs incurred Euro tank terminal shall not be liable for any costs incurred by a vessel, its owners, Operators, Charterers, Agents or others as a result of: - Refusal to load all or part of the nominated quantity. - Delay to or suspension of loading. - Overloading and subsequent correction. - Requirement to vacate a jetty. Overloading Euro tank terminal reserves the right to monitor the loading of any vessel to ensure compliance with International Load Line Regulations and to notify the appropriate Authority in the event of contravention. Pollution Charges will be levied against a vessel in respect of costs incurred for manpower, equipment and supplies which may be used or mobilized in readiness to contain or remove oil or other pollutants spilled, or caused to be spilled, by that vessel. Ropes and wires The vessel is secured alongside with suitable ropes or wires to hold the vessel in place in all conditions. A minimum of four mooring lines must be used at each end of the vessel. The use of mooring lines of dissimilar materials in the same direction is not allowed. Winches Mooring ropes or wires are only fastened to the proper fixtures provided for this purpose, self-tensioning winches must not be used in automatic mode and winch brakes must be kept hardened up except when moorings are being tended. Strong winds It is the master’s responsibility that the vessel is safely moored under all circumstance. However, in order to ensure safe cargo handling and avoid damage to terminal installations, terminal representatives will check the vessels moorings and

23

when not deemed satisfactory, request the Master to improve or adjust the moorings. We reserve the right to interrupt cargo handling and disconnect cargo arms in unsafe mooring conditions. The Master may be requested to take ballast prior to resumption of cargo operations in order to reduce the effect of the wind on the vessel.
