NOTICE TO SHIPS BOUND FOR PONTA UBU TERMINAL 1- All ships intending to berth at Ponta Ubu Terminal must be vetted/evaluated and approved by Samarco upon owners nomination and prior to acceptance to call the Terminal.

2- Ships with any deck obstruction between the fore hatch covers forward of hatch cover n. 1 and the superstructure (above the hatch coamings height), shall include sketches or plans with identification of the obstructions and respective dimensions. See also the Harbor Particulars (Annex 1).

3- If loading, ships shall send Samarco their Cargo Plan Form (Annex 7) filled for port team analysis, at least 7 consecutive days before their ETA at Ponta Ubu. The Terminal might require changes for improvement of productivity which do not affect operational safety codes. However, the capitan’s approval is always necessary for any change in the cargo plan.

4- If possible, the (total) deballasting time should be faster than the time planned for loading, taking into consideration the values determined as attached (Annex 2). Nevertheless, any time requested for deballasting will be managed as ‘packages’ of no less than 3 hours, and it may be initiated before completion of the deadline, according to the Terminal’s convenience.

5- Ship draft marks shall be in good conditions, clearly visible, and adequately illuminated, as required. The holds’ numbers must be suitable painted. Cargo reserved for trimming shall not exceed 3.0 % of total load. Trimming should be completed at the end holds, or as near to the ends as possible.

6- Procedures considered normal and adequate for draft survey are: an initial reading prior to loading, another reading at the beginning of trimming and one upon completion of loading. No other reading shall be performed that could impair loading, except in case of unpredictable instances or ships with different loads and/or several clients.

7- Ships with different types of cargo shall try to obtain their loading sequence in order to finish the first one before the second cargo brand starts.

8- The terminal nominal average loading rate is 12500 t/h. Loading rates (pour) declared as port uses and practices vary according to ship’s size and follow the loading rates table attached (Annex 2).

Masters should declare to the terminal their awareness about terminal particulars and rules.

9- In case of rain, the decision to close holds shall be at the terminal discretion, unless in view of ship’s safety.

10- The operational length for both berths is 228m (between the hatch cover of hold nº1

and the last one). Besides that, the maximum breadth concerning loading limitations is 52 m.

11- Ships in “gas free” condition shall take the necessary measures for issuing and

submitting the Gas free Certificate document, without which the ship cannot be moored and will not be considered ready in all respects to berth/load. Therefore, any waiting time will not count as laytime or time on demurrage.

However, if there is no inflammable cargo since the last three cargoes, vessels should only send a Master’s declaration in accordance with requirements below. The statement will take in trust. See the abstract below.

Resolution A.862(20) - Code of Practice for the Safe Loading and

Unloading of Bulk Carriers (SOLAS VI/7), Annex, Section 3 - Procedure

between ship and shore prior to the ship's arrival,

Quote 3.2.3 Combination carries (OBO or O/O) should advise of the following additional

information:

.1 nature of the preceding three cargoes;

.2 date and place at which the last oil cargo was discharged;

.3 advice as to content of slop tanks and whether fully inerted and sealed; and

.4 date, place and name of authority that issued the last gas free certificate

which includes pipelines and pumps*.

*Reference is also made to the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers & Terminals

(ISGOTT).

OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION

All material and/or service supply shall be made in compliance with relevant legal requirements and harbor rules, and shall cause no delays. Cargo should not handle by sea/hull or using gang way or pilot ladder. There are many high resolution cameras around the terminal. External activities might be shot and images recorded.

1) Allowance for accessing ships Access to the ship is not allowed without the Captain’s (or his representative’s) approval, for the ship’s own safety and control. Thus, the permit shall be individual (nominal) and not transferable. The request shall be made via email (sent to autporto@samarco.com) 24 hours in advance.

2) Oil to the Vessels The supply (and removal) of oily material shall be made by means of sealed drums. Pumping oil or oily waste is only allowed in the terminal in compliance with a series of additional and mitigating requirements in case of an accident and previously agreed with the terminal at least 48 hours in advance.

3) Diving around the ships:

It shall always be monitored by Samarco personnel and shall be requested at least 48 hours in advance.

4) Waste removal Shall only be carried out through the secondary entrance gate, even if it is transported by small vehicles, and only during day shift, with weighing being performed both when accessing and leaving Samarco and further issuing of the waste final disposal confirmation within 48 working hours, at the most.

5) Cleaning anchor chain and external hull marine growth and painting It is not allowed in the area under Samarco’s responsibility.

6) Cleaning hold comings and hatches, decks and adjoining areas Cleaning with compressed air jet spreads particulate matters that contribute to the pollution of surrounding waters and beaches. Therefore, it is not allowed until the ship has passed by the buoys double number 1 and 2 .

7) Repairs Onboard Repairs that pose risk to safety, as hot work and others, shall be previously agreed with the terminal. Works that may partially or completely impair the ship’s operational capacity also require previous written authorization, where the ship will assume responsibility for all costs directly or indirectly related to the repair (Annex 3).

8) Movement of the Crew

Members of the crew and other people moving around must wear shoes, pants and shirts and must be aware of the conveyor belts risk.

9) Simulation Drills Simulation drills that may interfere with the terminal routine, including such as life boats, boats, external firefighting, etc shall be previously discussed. Terminal simulation drills shall be previously informed to Captains of ships that have been moored and/or anchored, as relevant. (see Annex 4).

10) Berthing and unberthing For Berthing and Unberthing maneuvers, azimuth drive tugs must be used according to the use of tug table. In order to ensuring the safety of the berthed vessel she should be full time supported at least by one tug (minimum bollard pull 40 tf )

11) Wire ropes during mooring

The terminal shall be previously informed about ships that use wire ropes during mooring. Bollards SWL is 150 tf and quick release hooks is 100 tf. The mooring arrangements must be suitable with those values.

12) Ship Inspection (LVS)

All ships located at Ponta Ubu are subject to inspection to be carried out by the port team, and might have their ballast water sampled for analysis (see Annex 5).

13) Ballasting Removal of water in good condition and in compliance with Resolution A868 and the Brazilian Maritime Authority Standard (NORMAM-20) is a procedure included in the terminal routine. However, water cannot be dumped on the quay or on port structures even when clear.

14) Kit SOPEP For possible environmental incidents the ship shall be adequately and proportionately equipped with SOPEP Kit. The use of dispersants is not allowed without previous authorization of the competent environmental authorities.

15) ISPS Pre-operational forms related to ISPS and the crew list shall be issued within four days before ETA. (Annex 8). At the end of loading, Form C (ISPS Code, Annex 6) must be returned to foreman filled up and signed.

16) Weather Restrictions Concerning the safety conditions for berthing and/or leaving dock all of shifts will happen after a previous analysis of wind and sea among others. But, in advance, we can declare that no berthing will be booked whenever wind blows above 20 m/s (38,8 Knots), waves

higher than 2.5m and/or if the visibility is shorter than 800 m. However, very special situations can be analyzed by a council and approved by consensus. The council consists at least, by the Pilot, one of the tugs skippers and one of the Samarco Master Mariner members.

17) Waiting Vessels

There are two independent berths. Vessels queue is understood regarding the ship’s particulars and berth restrictions. Hence, First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) principle is applied as much as possible, but always concerning the words above mentioned.

The observation of this instruction summary does not exempt the ship from her responsibilities, and the list of recommendations herein does not include all legal practices and requirements or those established by the terminal. Additional information should be taken with the named ship’s agent.
