| | Ship’s ETA must be sent to the ship’s agents 72/48/24 and 12 hours before arrival. On arriving for berthing, the NPA Pilot will board the ship approximately 1 – 2 miles to the eastward of the facility, or at the discretion of the pilot by radio.
The NPA Pilot will then advise the Ship’s Master on the mooring operation by discreet use of the helm and engines. Prior to the NPA Pilot boarding the ship, two heaving lines and a messenger rope should be made ready on the fo’c’sle head.
The derrick should be made ready on the PORT side. A pilot ladder, rigged with two manropes, is required to be deployed 2 m above the waterline. Should the freeboard exceed 9 m, a combination of accommodation ladder and pilot ladder will be required.
A tanker basket containing tools and equipment for the connection of the hoses is required to be lifted on board. On the close approach to the buoy, the mooring launch will pass to the ship a mooring pick up rope by connecting the ship’s messenger line to it.
The ship will then heave on the messenger until the pick up rope is on board, which will then be heaved up until the chafe chain comes through the bow stopper and the ship is secured. When this operation is complete, the floating hoses will each be connected to previously selected manifolds.
The connection is made by the use of bolts to the 8” manifold flanges and the hoses will be supported by “hanging off ” chains to suitable eye pads on the deck opposite each connection.
In order to avoid damage to the submarine pipeline and the SPM anchor chains, the ship’s anchor will not be used under any circumstances and will remain secure during berthing operations and for the whole period that the ship is moored to the buoy. | |
