| The anchorage area for vessels awaiting the loading berth at Hamriyah Oil Terminal is a 1 mile radius with its centre due North of the loading berth in approx. position Lat: 25° 37.5' N Long: 055° 24.1' E. |
| The SPM is fitted with a racon, coded "Zulu". There is also a white navigation light flashing "U" with a range of 5.7nm. |
| The company will provide a mooring launch which is owned by the operator's designated marine service to assist in the mooring and unmooring of the vessel. |
| Navigation aids: The SPM is fitted with a racon, coded "Zulu". There is also a white navigation light flashing "U" with a range of 5.7nm. Tugs: Mooring launch: The company will provide a mooring launch which is owned by the operator's designated marine service to assist in the mooring and unmooring of the vessel. Restrictions: Pilot/Mooring Master will boards the vessel at approx. 3nm due N of the loading berth in approx position Lat 2537.5'N, Long 05524.1'E. The Mooring Master will be provided by the company and vessels will not be allowed to approach or depart from the loading berth without the company designated Mooring Master being on board. The Mooring Master will advise vessel personnel on the approaches to the loading berth; the operations of mooring and unmooring; the raising, connection, disconnecting and lowering of the floating cargo hose and in all other operations within the loading berth area. All manoeuvring of vessels within the loading berth area shall be performed by vessel personnel as directed by the vessel's officer in charge and in accordance with the procedure advised by the Mooring Master.Max. size: Max draft 16.76m, 80,000dwt. Berthing: The SPM buoy moors vessels from the bow and consists primarily of a cylindrical buoy which is secured to the seabed by 6 catenary anchor legs each of which are tethered to the seabed by a heavy duty anchor system. The cylindrical buoy is 5.3m in height, fitted with a skirt 16m in diameter and can accept vessels up to 80,000dwt Facilities: Vessel's gear: Prior to the arrival of any vessel at the Mooring Master boarding area, the port derrick of the vessel should be up and ready to lift the mooring and hose connection gear on board the vessel from the mooring launch. On the port side, opposite the vessel's manifold, there must be equipment capable of lifting the floating hose safely and efficiently, a 7.5T lift, from the sea surface over the port rail to the vessel's manifold. Vessels must also have an adequate supply of nuts, gaskets and wrenches to connect the floating cargo hose. If, in the opinion of the Mooring Master, the vessel is not equipped with adequate mooring or loading facilities or lines or gear, the Mooring Master must so inform the vessel's Master and in such event the vessel will not be brought into the loading berth until the facilities or lines or gear are deemed satisfactory by the Mooring Master. |
