2. SAFETY AND SECURITY

2.1 General

Responsibility for the safe conduct of operations whilst a ship is alongside Lillesund Terminal rests jointly with the Master of the ship and the responsible Terminal Representative. Therefore, before operations start, both ship and shore representatives should ensure that there is full co-operation and understanding of the safety requirements set out in the Ship/Shore Safety Check List which are based on safe practices widely accepted by the oil and tanker industries.

The Master is expected to adhere strictly to these requirements throughout the stay alongside,

Lillesund Terminal personnel will do likewise and co-operate fully with the ship in the mutual interest of

safe and efficient operations.

Before the start of operations, and from time to time thereafter, for our mutual safety, the Terminal

Representative together with a responsible Ship’s Officer, will make a routine inspection of the ship to

ensure that the questions on the Ship/Shore Safety Check List can be answered in the affirmative.

Where corrective action is needed, the Terminal may not agree to operations commencing or, should

they have been started, may require them to be stopped.

Similarly, if the Master considers safety is endangered by any action on the part of Shell engaged staff

or by any equipment under Shell’s control, the Master should demand immediate cessation of

operations until the situation is rectified.

Repeat checks of those items marked in the Ship Shore Safety Check List will be carried out by both

ship and shore personnel at intervals not exceeding 4 hours.

2.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The following minimum dress code shall be adhered to by ship’s personnel while on duty alongside Lillesund Terminal:

Boiler suit or trousers and long-sleeved shirt.

Suitable shoes, preferably safety shoes or boots with steel toe caps.

Life jacket or buoyancy aid when working in such risk identified areas.

Personnel engaged in operations are actively encouraged to utilise PPE to the fullest extent during cargo transfer, hose handling and mooring operations. This includes the wearing of safety helmets and safety goggles.

Visitors to the Lillesund Terminal are required to follow the safe route, which is clearly marked.

2.3 Port and Terminal Security

AS Norske Shell, Lillesund Depot, IMO Port Facility No. NOKAS-0015, is a security regulated port as set out in the Marine Security Act of 2004 and associated Regulations. In accordance with this Act, the Lillesund Terminal is designated a ‘restricted zone’ and unauthorised access is an offence.

In line with the ISPS Code, the following three security levels are adopted:

a) Security Level 1 – Normal

The level for which standard security measures shall be maintained at all times.

b) Security Level 2 – Heightened

The level for which appropriate addition measures shall be maintained for a period of time as a result of heightened risk of a security incident. For the Lillesund Terminal, this will include additional security guards and patrols with greater scrutiny of port users.

c) Security Level 3 – Exceptional

The level for which further additional security measures shall be maintained for a limited period of time when a security incident is probable or imminent, although it may not be possible to identify the specific target. For the Lillesund Terminal, this may result in the removal of a ship from the berth or the delay in a ship berthing.


Rev 12.1 Page8

In order that ship and Port security plans can be coordinated, information will be exchanged during the pre-transfer conference.

2.4 Personnel and Vehicular Access

The Lillesund Terminal is within a secure area and is responsible for controlling access onto the berth and issuing ship’s crew and visitors with the necessary security passes.

On arrival alongside, the Master should provide the Terminal Representative with a crew list and details of any visitors expected during the port stay.

Access to the Lillesund Terminal is only available through the main gate and all crew, visitors and contractors are required to report via the gate intercom. Permission to access the terminal from the vessel must be requested via the jetty operato.r

Vehicles are not allowed on the jetty area without any permit at any time, no vehicles are permitted on jetty during cargo or bunkering operations.

Access to Lillesund Terminal will be denied to any person suspected of being affected by alcohol or drugs. Personnel walking within the terminal area must follow the marked lines, which lead you to the gate or taxi area.

5.3 Tugs and Towage There is no minimum requirement on tugs set by the port authority of Haugesund for the application of the port jurisdiction area. Although Lillesund terminal will require vessel above length 80 m without any working bow thruster to use minimum one tug for mooring and unberthing operation.

Vessels above 140m LOA would be expected to have one effective working bow thrusters and a high angle rudder, alternative stern thruster, two propellers etc, vessel not having both in good working condition should have minimum one tug for berthing and unberthing operations.

The terminal tug requirement may be increased according to the individual Master/Pilot judgements, with vessel manoeuvring capability and weather conditions etc.

In case the vessel is not able to manoeuvre due to defect or malfunctioning steering, the vessel has to inform terminal staff immediately who takes the necessary decisions for further action.

5.4 Provision of Mooring Crews


Rev 12.1 Page12

Ship using the mooring buoy would require mooring line boat with mooring crew would be required for securing of berthing and should be contacted by the Ship’s Agent at least 2 hours before the ship’s arrival at the berth.

Terminal personnel will manage unmooring operation.

5.5 Mooring

Tankers moored at Lillesund Terminal are required, as a minimum, to comply, with the mooring arrangements detailed in the Mooring Plans in Appendix 3. Ships normally berth port side alongside.

The Master is responsible for ensuring that the ship remains securely moored throughout the stay alongside. The Master must ensure that all moorings are regularly tended and maintained in a taut condition.

Mooring lines of the same size and material must always be used for all leads in the same service.

5.6 Provision of Ship/Shore Access

Tankers moored at Lillesund Terminal are required to provide a suitable gangway to enable safe access between ship and shore, complete with suitable safety net and lifebuoy.

5.7 Environmental Criteria for Berthing Operations

Wind direction Wind Speed Tankers up to LOA 150 m / 22 000 tons displ.

0-360º <16 m/s Berthing accepted

0-360º >16 m/s No berthing operations permitted Above table are maximum wind conditions permitted during berthing. Although on each occasion the environmental conditions or ship specific issues may require lower wind criteria as evaluated by vessel master or terminal representative.

Area is generally not affected by fog but limited visibly may occur during heavy snowfall or sea mist

in cold winter days. A general advice of minimum visibility of 0.2 NM will apply for berthing

operations.

5.8 Maximum berthing speed During the final approach to the jetty the approach speed should be minimised in order to reduce the forces on the jetty. See appendix 3.

5.9 Under Keel Clearance (UKC) policy Minimum 0.5m clearance should be maintained between vessel keel and seabed at all times. In periods with exceptional low water the drafts should be reduced accordingly, arriving vessel not able to comply with terminal UKC policy may not enter the port until the water level is sufficient.

5.10 Emergency towing pennant / Fire wires

Terminal has the same position as OCIMF in the use of emergency towing pennants also commonly referred to as fire wires, vessel are free to rig then if they would wish to but there is no requirement from terminal.

6. COMMUNICATIONS WHILE BERTHED

6.1 General

During the pre-transfer conference, the terminal representative and the ship cargo officer has to agree on primary communication system and preferably use portable VHF/UHF radio. The ship’s Duty Officer must keep the radio at all times. The radio is to be used for cargo transfer and emergency use only.

Identification of the name of the ship should always be included in communications to avoid any misunderstanding. The shore identity is Lillesund terminal’.

A secondary means of voice communication will be verbal via jetty operator.

6.2 Ship/Shore Safety Check List and Operational Agreements

On arrival at the berth, the Terminal representative will present the ship with a copy of a folder containing the following documents:

Safety Letter to Master

Regulations on pollution

Cargo Handling Plans

ISGOTT Ship/Shore Safety Check List

Port Security Requirements

The various forms, information and procedures laid out in the document formalise the conduct and procedures governing ship/shore operations at the jetty, which are to be mutually agreed between shore representative and ships cargo officer before operations commence.

Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are available from the terminal on request and the hazards with the associated products should be discussed and understood before start of operation.

The agreements reached in the document remain in force throughout the time a ship remains alongside Lillesund Terminal. Any changes made to these agreements during the course of the cargo operation must be again agreed in writing.

All items contained in the Ship/Shore Safety Check List must remain constantly under review. However, the ship and shore are required to jointly recheck those items requiring formal recheck at intervals not exceeding 4 hours.

6.3 Communications During Transfer

The maintenance of good communications throughout cargo transfer operations is fundamental to ensuring the safety of the activity.

During cargo operations, if for any reason it becomes necessary to stop cargo in an emergency, the party requesting the stop should notify the other party by UHF/VHF radio, or any other means, requesting ‘Emergency Stop’.

All transfer pumps must be immediately stopped and ship and shore manifolds closed until the situation is investigated and joint agreement is reached on resuming operations.

During the pre-transfer conference, communications procedures will be agreed for conducting specific activities and will include agreed notice periods for conducting ship or shore stops.

Rev 12.1 Page19

9.6 Adverse Weather

The Terminal Representative has access to regular weather updates and ships will be advised accordingly should adverse weather be expected. Any decision to leave the berth and port will be taken in consultation with the ship’s Master and Terminal representative.

In the event that the ship has to stay within the port, consultation between Master of the ship, pilots and terminal representative of appropriate corrective actions has to be taken. Consideration should be given to additional moorings, supporting tugs and vessel engine and crew in stand-by.

9.7 Still Air Conditions

If there is little air movement, petroleum gas may persist on deck in heavy concentrations on ships that are loading volatile products or ballasting tanks that have previously contained volatile products. Consideration should be given on products that may create smell issues, which may concern our neighbour’s. Consideration may have to be given to stop operations while these conditions persist.

9.8 Electrical Storms

All cargo transfer operations, including the ballasting of non-gas-free cargo tanks will be stopped in the event of an approaching electrical storm, regardless of whether or not an IG (inert gas) and/or vapour control system is in use. All tank openings, vent outlets, cargo and manifold valves will be closed until such time as the storm has passed.

9.9 Wave and swell

If the swell conditions create vessel movements, which concerns the safe mooring or exceeds the safe moving criteria of the loading hoses/ arms, loading and discharge operations should be suspended and the loading hoses/ arms disconnected.

10. APPLICABLE TERMINAL REGULATIONS

10.1 Ullaging and Sampling

Wherever possible, the ullaging and sampling of ship’s tanks should be achieved by the use of closed sampling equipment. Under no circumstances are shore personnel to open any tank or vapour lock without approval from the ship’s officer on duty.

When it is not possible to undertake closed gauging and/or sampling operations, open gauging

systems will need to be employed and the precautions detailed in ISGOTT must be adhered to.

Shore staff and surveyors will draw cargo tank ullages and samples immediately after mooring when safe access to the shore is provided. The Master is requested to have adequate personnel and appropriate closed sampling and ullaging equipment available as a priority to facilitate this operation.

10.2 Closed Operations

The loading, discharging and/or ballasting of ship’s cargo tanks must be conducted under closed conditions. The use of manual gauging/sampling of cargo tanks via sighting, ullage ports or similar openings is not permitted. Barges loading and discharging non-volatile products may operate in open condition, outmost care should be considered to minimise personnel exposure to vapours.

10.3 Inert Gas

If a ship is fitted with an inert gas system then this system must be fully operational (in accordance with Class requirements) and used at all times. In the event that a ship’s inert gas system is not functioning, or not functioning as required, cargo operations must cease immediately and may not resume until the system is repaired or written permission is given from the ship’s owners and the terminal.

10.4 State of Readiness of Main Engines

The main engines and other essential machinery of all ships alongside must be maintained in a state of readiness for vacating the berth at short notice.

10.5 Maintenance and Repair Work Onboard

Major planned repair work is not permitted while the ship is alongside Lillesund Terminal. Emergency repairs, namely essential repairs needed to rectify malfunctioning equipment and prevent hazardous or unsafe conditions, will be permitted on a case-by-case basis following approval by the Terminal Representative.

10.6 Hot Work Onboard

No task identified as Hot work according to ISGOTT is permitted on board ships alongside Lillesund Terminal.

10.7 Tank Cleaning, Purging and Gas Freeing

Tank cleaning, gas freeing or purging operations are not permitted on board any ships while alongside Lillesund Terminal.

10.8 Enclosed space entry No entry into any enclosed space as per ISGOTT definition is allowed on the ship when alongside the terminal.

10.9 Cargo tank high level alarms

Every vessel involved in cargo operations alongside the terminal should have operational cargo tank high level alarms fitted that are independent from the main gauging system. Alarms should be tested prior to operation and be operational both during loading and discharging operations.
