The Terminal Management


3.0 Terminal Regulations

3.1 Ships Responsibilities

Responsibility of the Master

The Master of a seagoing vessel or the Master of an inland vessel

(hereinafter "the Master") should take care that he and all other persons

on board, whilst on board of the ship, as well as in the installation

carefully follow all rules, regulations, formalities, measures and directions

given and/or to be given by or on behalf of the authorities and/or Star

Energy Oiltanking. The Master should take care that all agreements made

between Star Energy Oiltanking and persons on board of the ship are

carefully observed. All operations on board the ship relative to the ship

and/or the cargo are to be executed under surveillance of the Master, also

if such operations are carried out by personnel of Star Energy Oiltanking.

Ban on naked fire and smoking

The use of open fire - which includes welding, smoking, use of matches,

lighters and non-officially approved illumination - is forbidden under all

circumstances on board the ship as well as in the installation, in the open

air or in enclosed areas where the construction or the ventilation system

does not give protection against penetration of inflammable gases.

Water pollution

Unless officially approved, it is forbidden to allow the discharge of

substances, in any way or for any reason including overfilling, in the

installation or into the marine water.




Commencement and progress of operations

When the installation has declared itself ready for delivery respectively

receipt of the cargo, the loading respectively discharging of the ship shall

commence and continue non-stop, irrespective of day and night and

holidays included (provided permission has been granted by the

authorities), until the complete cargo has been loaded respectively

discharged. During this period, the Master shall ensure that the ship

receives respectively discharges the cargo without interruption and/or

delay, with due observance of the relative agreements made with Star

Energy Oiltanking, and with observance of regulations and rules applicable to the cargo and the installation in question.

Alongside berth

Vessel Master and Officers shall participate fully at the joint “Pre-Cargo

Conference” to check and assure that all conditions of the “Ship / Shore

Checklist” are affirmatively answered, and that cargo operations are

agreed and understood by both parties. Vessel crew shall be available to

assist in the connection / disconnection of cargo arms, and to operate

vessel valves as required. Prior to the commencement of cargo

operations, the vessel shall double check and assure that the vessel is in a

fit/proper condition to operate, and that all regulations and requirements

are effectively in place. Whenever possible, a “closed loading system”

shall be used by the vessel when handling cargo or ballast (where not

possible the number of ullage ports open at any time is to be restricted to

a maximum of three and all such openings should be fitted with flame

arrestors). Cargo tank lids or hatches are not permitted to be kept opened. Sufficient crew shall be on board the vessel at all times to

operate the vessel and to respond to any emergency (including possible

vacation of the berth). In order to effectively respond to any situation, the

vessel’s Master and the Chief Officer shall not take shore leave at the

same time. Throughout the period whilst the vessel is alongside SEOT

berth, all conditions of the “Ship-Shore Safety Checklist” shall be

monitored and maintained. Strict surveillance by the vessel’s Officers and crew shall be observed during all operations to enable a quick and

effective response to any emergency. This response shall include stoppage

of the vessel pumps in case of automatic closure of terminal valves. On

completion of cargo operations, vessel shall immediately depart berth

unless SEOT has granted approval for the vessel to stay alongside. Should

the ship experience undue delays (for whatever reason) then SEOT at its

absolute discretion reserves the right to take the ship off the berth. Vessel

cargo tank transfer or any other vessel operation which affects the agreed




ship/shore cargo plan shall only be permitted with the written approval of

SEOT. Vessels shall rely on their own resources for weather updates.

Leaving the berth

The Master is bound to leave the berth as soon as possible, after

termination of loading respectively discharging. Star Energy Oiltanking has

the right to demand that the ship be removed from its berth when Star

Energy Oiltanking deems this necessary for reasons of safety, compliance

with safety regulations and/or directions from the harbor authorities or

other authorities, the smooth continuation of activities or for any other valid reason. Likewise, Star Energy Oiltanking has the right to demand

that the ship, which has taken berth alongside an assigned mooring and

which, in spite of the installation's readiness, is not able to or for whatever

reason does not commence loading respectively discharging cargo, or

which discontinues any of these activities for more than 6 hours, clears its

berth instantly. If the ship does not clear its berth on first request from

Star Energy Oiltanking, then Star Energy Oiltanking has the right to shift

(have shifted) or to remove (have removed) the ship for account and risk

of the Master and the owner of the ship.

Availability of berth

Star Energy Oiltanking shall not be liable for any damage, demurrage or

other costs incurred by the ship, as a result of the fact that the ship has

had to wait due to the mooring not being available, attainable or

serviceable, whether or not prior reservations were made or the ship's

expected arrival time was announced or as a result of a deviation from the order of sequence in which ships are being dealt with. Neither is Star

Energy Oiltanking liable for damage, demurrage or other disadvantage

incurred by the ship, which has taken mooring at the assigned mooring

facilities, as a result of the installation not being ready for delivery

respectively receipt of cargo due to delay or discontinuation of loading or

discharging.

Direct transfer from ship to ship

For any manipulation of goods which is to take place between the ship and

any other vessel, prior permission from Star Energy Oiltanking is required.

Even if Star Energy Oiltanking has allowed such transfer, it will take place

under the Master's responsibility and for account and risk of the Master

and the owner of the ship and not for account and risk of Star Energy

Oiltanking.




Entering Star Energy Oiltanking's premises

Ship crew members being present on the installation as well as those who

enter the installation on request of the Master and/or the ship crew

members, do so entirely at their own risk, also when this happens with

permission of or under escort by Star Energy Oiltanking. Star Energy

Oiltanking is never liable for death, injury, damage, loss, fines, costs or

other harm incurred by those who set foot on the installation. This section

3.4 Pilotage & vessel movements

DPAJA pilotage and related services to/from SEOT berths is compulsory.

(DPAJA related services include tugs, workboats, berthing master, and

mooring line handling crew). DPAJA pilotage and related services are

provided on a 24 hour basis. Vessels shall be berthed in order of rotation

based upon time of receipt of the Notice of Readiness, and subject to

proper notification of vessel ETA. However, SEOT reserves the right to

berth vessels out of rotation if terminal operations so require. In case a

vessel is arriving at the same time as another is departing, the outgoing

vessel shall have priority and DPAJA determines the final schedule for

vessel movements. DPAJA normally require 6 adequate ropes or hawsers

forward, and a similar number aft for vessel mooring (see chapter 6).

SEOT reserves the right to direct a vessel to move from one berth to

another, or to vacate a berth according to its operational requirements at

that time. Vessel shall maintain radio communication with DPAJA and SEOT by monitoring “VHF” radio channel 16 at all times whilst within the

port facility.

3.5 Vessel requirements

The UAE Federal Government has imposed restrictions on certain “flag”

vessels. It is the responsibility of the Master and his agent to check and obtain the necessary approvals and berthing clearance from DPAJA. The

vessel has to be in compliance with SOLAS, MARPOL, and DPAJA

regulations. The vessel has to have:

� a valid “International Safety Management” – ISM certificate.

� a valid “international Code of the Security of Ship and Port Facilities”

– ISPS certificate

Master shall advise both DPAJA and SEOT before berthing of any disability

or damage to his vessel. The Master shall at all times allow




representatives of DPAJA or SEOT (or any other party authorized by either

DPAJA or SEOT) unrestricted access to the vessel for all matters in

connection with enforcement of regulations and requirements. From time

to time, DPAJA or SEOT may introduce additional measures that may be

considered necessary or appropriate – the Master shall be informed in

writing of such changes and shall cooperate in compliance.

3.6 Deballasting

Vessels carrying non-segregated ballast for discharge are subject to

DPAJA regulations regarding inspection prior to berthing and monitoring during ballast discharge. Segregated ballast tanks are defined as those

tanks that are fitted with their own piping and pumps, and are completely

independent of the cargo system.

DPAJA deballasting regulations

1. Clean water ballast from tankers segregated ballast tanks may be

discharged overboard

2. Clean water ballast from dedicated clean ballast tanks as defined in

MARPOL 73/78 may also be discharged into the Port. However, if no

separate ballast pumping system exists then such discharge shall

be monitored by an independent surveyor and the ballast must be

certified clean. The discharge operation may take place during

daylight hours only.

3. Ships in the ‘COW’ mode may not discharge ballast from cargo

tanks, unless such tanks have been thoroughly cleaned and

reverted to the status of C.B.T. since last carrying oil. 4. Clean ballast means containing less than 15 parts per million of

hydrocarbons.

5. Notwithstanding all the above, if any visible signs of pollution are

seen on or below the surface of the ship discharging ballast, the

ballast discharge will be stopped and no further discharge will be

permitted.

3.7 Ballasting

Prior to the commencement of ballasting, vessel shall purge the cargo

lines into the main cargo tanks to ensure that no cargo escapes in the sea.

Ballast pumps shall be started before the sea valves are opened.

3.8 Environment pollution




Vessel is required to comply with all environmental laws and regulations

that presently exist, or may be mandated from time to time by the UAE

Federal Government, the Government of Dubai, Dubai Municipality,

DPAJA, and/or SEOT requirements.

Vessel pump room sea valves and engine room discharge valves shall be

closed and sealed, and remain sealed at all times. Seals should only be

broken with the consent of SEOT to permit ballast operations.

No tanks, compartments, spaces, bilges, pipelines, slops, drains, or any

other source of oil or petroleum or contaminated water shall be discharged, flushed, leaked or cleaned into the sea.

Should any oil, petroleum or contaminated water shall be discharged or

other materials escape into the sea from a vessel, then that vessel shall

be responsible to notify the terminal immediately and for all costs incurred

as a consequence of pollution and cleaning.

Cleaning, blowing of boiler tubes, or emitting smoke/soot is strictly

prohibited whilst vessel is alongside the terminal’s berth.

Master shall assure that no unhealthy or offensive goods are deposited

from his vessel. Any item in the opinion of DPAJA which is considered to

be offensive or a health hazard may be removed, confiscated, or

destroyed at DPAJA’s sole discretion. All costs associated with the

removal, destruction and clean-up shall be bore by the vessel.

Domestic garbage skips are obtainable for vessel garbage disposal, and should be arranged by the Master through his agent and shall be

subjected to SEOT’s prior approval.

3.9 Boats alongside vessel

Work boats, barges, delivery boats, etc. are not permitted alongside a

vessel moored at SEOT terminal. DPAJA tugs are permitted alongside a vessel providing all cargo deck openings have been securely closed.

3.10 Engine trials & engine repairs

Vessel shall not carry out engine trials whilst alongside the terminal

without written approval from both DPAJA and SEOT. Vessel’s main engine

shall be kept ready for immediate use at all times.




Any repairs which may affect the immediate availability of the vessel’s

main engine may only be carried out with the written approval of both

DPAJA and SEOT. It is not permitted to carry out boiler cleaning, chipping,

scaling, scraping, or any other type of work which could generate heat or

sparks. It is not permitted to carry out hot works i.e. welding, cutting,

burning, soldering, drilling, grinding, or any other type of work which

could generate heat or sparks.

3.11 Inert gas regulation

DPAJA require that petroleum and related product vessels are equipped with an inert gas system, and that tank spaces shall be maintained at 8%

or less oxygen content whilst within the port limits.

On an individual basis DPAJA may consider waiver of this regulation under

the following conditions:

� High flash cargoes with a flash point greater than 60◦C, providing

the cargo is handled at a temperature of at least 5◦C below its flash

point.

� Vessel is less than 20,000 SDWT.

� Vessel is a chemical carrier with an operative ‘closed loading system’

(waiver by DPAJA would require the vessel to appoint a DPAJA

approved inspector.

� Vessel is less than 40,000 SDWT and has a valid ‘Inert Gas

Exemption’ certificate (waiver by DPAJA would require the vessel to

appoint a DPAJA approved inspector).

� Considering the safety of the terminal and vessel, SEOT prefers to have the inert gas system operative and cargo tanks inerted when

the vessel is equipped with a working inert gas system, irrespective

of the size of the vessel and exemptions.

3.12 Electrostatic ignition precautions

As a precaution to reduce the accumulation of static electricity during the handling of petroleum products, SEOT exercises pipeline flow controls to

mitigate the effects of electrostatic charge separation, electrostatic

accumulation, and the possibility of electrostatic spark discharge.

At the commencement of loading in to an empty tank, the linear velocity

in the pipeline to each individual tank (ship or shore) should not exceed 1

m/s until the bottom of the tank is covered, or until the inlet pipe has

been fully immersed in product and or until the float is afloat in floating




roof tanks to avoid further splashing, turbulence and generation of static

charges.

6 67

8 116

10 183

12 262

16 424

18 542

Following the cessation of turbulence and splashing, the flow rate may be increased to the agreed maximum between ship/shore, however it should

be noted that static accumulator cargoes should not exceed 7 m/s, (also

note that SEOT has further product flow rate restrictions when filling

floating roof tanks).

During cargo transfer, and for 30 minutes after completion of filling of the

tank, metallic equipment’s for dipping, ullaging or sampling must not be

introduced into or remains in the tank.

After the 30 minutes of relaxation period, metallic equipment may be used

for dipping, ullaging or sampling but it is essential that it is effectively bonded and securely earthed to the structure of the tank before it is

introduced into the tank, and that it remains earthed until after it has

been removed from the tank.

A permanently fitted metal float level gauge does not present a static

electricity hazard provided the metal float has electrical conductivity

through the tape to the structure of the tank and the metal guide wires

are intact.

drums, and hard stores are not permitted to be loaded/ unloaded via the

vessel cargo deck during cargo or ballast operations. Subject to SEOT

specific approval, the above hard/heavy stores may be delivered via the

cargo deck providing all cargo/ballast operations have ceased, all cargo

deck openings are securely closed, cargo arms have been disconnected

and the berth area cleared as safe by SEOT operations. The use of a stem

crane for loading/unloading of hard/heavy stores after cargo/ballast

operations may be permitted providing the stem crane does not overlook

the cargo deck and with a specific clearance from SEOT HSSE

Department. Soft/stores such as laundry/provisions, or small items carried

by hand may be loaded/unloaded at any time. Vehicle approach to a vessel moored alongside SEOT berth is not permitted.

Terminal bus service

SEOT operates 24 hour bus service between the terminal main gate and

the vessel berth areas. The bus shall depart from the terminal main gate

on the hour every hour. Disembarking vessel personnel shall wait at the

berth ‘bus stop’ 5 minutes prior to bus arrival. Embarking vessel personnel

shall wait outside the terminal until the bus is scheduled to depart to the

berths. Outgoing ship crew shall be issued with a SEOT security pass –

this pass is required to be surrendered to gain re-entry into the terminal.

Matches, lighters, mobile telephones, bleeps, battery operated equipment,

incendiary devices of whatever nature, are not permitted to be used either

in the terminal or in bus – any such items shall be left on board the vessel

before boarding the bus, or surrendered to SEOT Security Officer on entry

into the terminal. Smoking or use of any incendiary device is strictly

Masters are to contact their agent for bunker supplies, note that

bunkering is not available direct from SEOT terminal, and bunkering from

barge whilst alongside SEOT berth is not permitted.




Fresh water

Fresh water is available at the berth area. However this fresh water

pipeline is not under SEOT jurisdiction and the Master should make

arrangements for fresh water through his agent.

12.0 Communication

12.1 Vessel Information

Star Energy Oiltanking will provide the ship’s agent with the digital format

of the Jetty Information Booklet and Tanker Nomination Form. The later has to be filled in and returned with the acknowledgement of receipt.

12.2 Prior to Berthing

The agent of the ship will inform Star Energy Oiltanking 3 hours in

advance of the estimated arrival time (ETA) of the ship at the Star Energy

Oiltanking terminal.

12.3 Prior to Product Transfer

For reasons of safety, good communication between ship and terminal

must be ensured in accordance with the safety checklist. In order to meet

these regulations a UHF radio will be handed out to the vessel, which must

be within hearing range of the person on duty. Channel 2 is used for

routine ship/ shore communications whilst alongside SEOT berth.

In case of communication failure between ship and shore the cargo operation shall be suspended by ship/ shore until the time the

communication is restored. In an emergency, terminal UHF channel 1 is

designated for emergency communications and the Vessel shall change to

channel 1.

The radio will have to be returned to the loading master prior to sailing of

the vessel. The adjustments of the radio should not be changed since it would interfere with the reliability of the radio. Furthermore we would like

to point out that Star Energy Oiltanking will hold the Master responsible

for any damage caused by misuse on purpose of the radio.

The ship will be called by its name from the Star Energy Oiltanking control

room. Star Energy Oiltanking should be called as follows:

"Star Energy Oiltanking control room this is ....……………………………………….….
