If it becomes necessary for a ship to vacate the berth before completion of
unloading as a result of a change in forecasted adverse weather conditions,
membrane type LNG tankers may require 6 to 8 hours to transfer cargo to
reach safe tank levels to safely depart to sea (avoiding tank sloshing damage),
weather monitoring and shore to ship discussions are required for LNG tankers
to vacate berth in these situations. Then re-berthing of the ship will only be
undertaken after the weather conditions have again returned to within the
below criteria.
The Master is responsible for the safe operation of his ship (including cargo-
handling operations) and the safety of ship’s personnel at all times. The Master
will be required to sign a letter acknowledging his responsibility in this respect
3. Gangway
Shore gangway, keep clear – no obstructions at all times, advise if
adjustment required
On completion of mooring, the shore gangway will be lowered onto the ship’s
deck.
A gangway watch must be maintained by the ship's staff throughout the
period in use. If at any time the gangway requires adjusting, the Loading
Master must be notified.
Any time allowed: FO; DO; FW; LUB: Garbage; Crew Change, SIRE, Class….
Berthing: 4 tugs
Un-berthing: 3 tugs

and terminal Marine Superintendent)
 P Ship’s Master and shore responsible person shall consult with each
other to decide on the suspension of the discharge
§ When the approach of a thunderstorm is expected
§ When the continuous unloading operation is feared to be in danger owing to
the leakage of gas
§ When the pressure of liquid and gas compartments are changed abruptly
and continues its abnormal pressures
§ When a fire breaks out nearby the ship
§ When abnormal conditions are found out on unloading equipment.
§ When an electric storm is prevailing.
§ When port authority orders suspension of unloading operation.

Deviation from these environmental limits is not authorised unless specifically

discussed and endorsed by the Pilot, Master and the Marine Superintendent.
The Loading Master continuously assesses metocean conditions for the duration of
operations. Such decisions are made in full consultation with the Master who
retains the right to order a cessation of any operation.
Squalls can occur at any time of the year but are more likely to occur during the
rainy season (typically October to April). Reduced visibility and torrential rain
often accompany these squalls. The wind can increase to 60+ knots and from any
direction as the squall approaches and passes; wind shift can be sudden.
High incidences of electrical storms occur.
Readiness to take mitigating action must be maintained at all times.
Restart of Discharge
· In case of following conditions, Ship’s Master and shore responsible person
(Dock Master) shall
· Consult with each other to resume the discharge condition：
§ When wind velocity in the port drops below 13.8m/s
§ When typhoon warning is canceled by port authority.
§ When tidal wave warning is cleared.
§ When both Ship’s Master and shore responsible person (Dock Master)
judge that the discharge operation can be safely resumed in view of
weather and marine conditions.

5. Safety
Industry Best Practices
All cargo export operations must be conducted as agreed with the Loading Master
and in accordance with the latest relevant ISGOTT/SIGTTO recommendations.
Additionally, all operations will be conducted in accordance with the Cargo
Handling Agreement agreed during the Ship/Shore Pre-load conference.
 · Ship / Shore C/L: every 4 hours

Approved Equipment - means equipment of a design that has been tested and
approved by an appropriate authority such as a Government Department or
Classification Society. The authority shall have certified the equipment as safe for
use in a specified hazardous atmosphere.
After agreement has been reached, any deviation from the plan is not
permitted without agreement of master/terminal.

6. Medical Assistance and Medical Evacuation

If any person on board the ship requires urgent medical attention, contact the
Loading Master and the ship agent. Limited medical facilities are available at the
site (for emergency only). Less urgent medical attention should be sought in Port
(about an hour by road from the LNG Plant Site), and should be arranged through
the ship’s agents.
! IMPORTANT: In all cases the ship’s agent and the Loading Master must be informed of the
situation.

9. Flanging & Purging
Berth Arms available:
· Flange Specification: Type: ANSI 150LB RF – 16” (400 mm) Liquid & Vapour
· QCDC (Quick connect and disconnect coupling)
· Spool Piece (distance piece) is required to be fitted for our QCDC.
· Ship Manifold : L4 L3 V L2 L1
· Shore Manifold : Liquid D Liquid C Vapour C Liquid B Liquid A

· Arms Connected: L4 L3 V L2 L1
· Leak Test: ( Liquid 5 bars, Vapor 1 bar)
· LNGC manifold strainer mesh size: 60 mesh strainer
· Ships liquid header and manifold cross-connection : COLD
· Shore Arms : COLD Condition
· Ships Side Closing rate ESD valve: 27 sec
· Shore side closing rate of ESD valve: 5 sec
· Max. Liquid line Arm pressure: 500 kPa
· Vapor return Line Shore operating parameter
o 59kPA = Alarm; 99 kPa = ESD-1;
o Max flow 50,000 m3/hr

· Vapor Arm angles to be monitored hourly and reported

o Where a LNG tanker has moved a sufficient distance out of position to either,
a) activate the ESD system, or b) warrant corrective action in the opinion of
the shift supervisor; unloading will be stopped, unloading arms drained,
purged and disconnected prior to re-positioning the ship.
o Whenever re-positioning of a LNG tanker is required, pilot and tugs must be
in attendance, the gangway removed, the LNG tanker’s engine ready, and the
shore mooring gang on station.
o 3 degrees = Alarm;
o 5 degrees = ESD-1;
o 7 degrees = ESD-2
! IMPORTANT: The horizontal limits for each arm vary. If limits are exceeded
an ESD-1 or ESD-2 activation is initiated. It is therefore imperative that the
duty watch on board the ship is aware of these limits and reports to the duty
officer if any arm is approaching the alarm limit.
10. ESD Connections
· On instruction from the Loading Master, the Ship/Shore ESD Link cable
may be passed to the attending team at the shore loading platform.
· On completion of connection, the Loading Master and ship's duty deck officer
must test and confirm satisfactory communications between ship and shore.

· Primary: Fiber Optic ESD;

· Secondary: Pneumatic (in use in case Optical ESD failure)
§ Pneumatic System pressure settings (max/min) kPa: 500/300
§ Pneumatic Connector: SNAP-TYTE SVHC-8F (FEMALE)
· Confirm with LNGC that Ship/Shore links will only be disconnected after
direct permission from the loading master (typically the link disconnected
after alarms have been have been removed and stowed)
There are two levels of ESD activation at the marine terminal/plant, ESD-1 and ESD-2.
An ESD-1 is activated (either from the LNGC or from shore) by the following:
Ø Operation of a manual activation call-point
Ø Fire at the tank domes or manifold area or terminal area
Ø Shut down signal from ship via link (fibre optic, electrical or pneumatic)or –
Ø Loss of electrical power
Ø ESD logic failure
Ø Loss of actuating power to the common loading arm manoeuvring system or to the Emergency
Release System (ERS) of individual loading arms
Ø Excessive movement of ship from berth (Stage 1 – pre-alarm for activation of ESD-2)
Ø Fire and/or gas alarm(s) on shore
Ø Vapour line pressure exceeds 99 kPa
An ESD-2 is activated by the following:
Ø Operation of a manual activation call-point, from shore
Ø Excessive movement of the ship from berth resulting in loading arms moving outside their
operating envelopes.

Summary
ü An ESD-1 activation will shut down the cargo transfer operation in a quick, controlled
manner.
ü An ESD-2 activation shuts down the transfer operation (ESD-1) and uncouples the loading
arms (via
ü the PERC) after automatic closure of both isolation valves.
ü An auto retract feature then maneuvers the arms into the parked position at the terminal
side.
ü The lower half of the PERC remains connected to the LNGC.
ü An emergency release system is designed to minimise the amount of LNG released into the
environment.
ü As an additional safety precaution, the loading arm ERS system is disabled when
maneuvering the
ü arms and only enabled when arms are connected and preparing to or transferring LNG.
ü In the event of an ESD-2 and subsequent initiation of loading arm disconnection by way of
PERC and auto retract the resultant condition
11. Opening gauging
IMPORTANT:
· Max Temperature arrival for CTM must be within 0.5 C degrees from Loading
Port closing CTM temperature
· Max. allowed arrival pressure in LNG carrier CT no more than 14 kPa (G)

Before the ship’s manifold valves are opened, gauging of the ship’s tanks will take
place on all occasions. This process is to be witnessed by the Responsible Ship’s
Officer, the Dock Master, the Independent Cargo Surveyor and any other
individual with a recognized and legitimate interest in the unloading operation.

· CTM: CTM Maker & Type & condition

· BOF: Gas Burning to be stopped before CTMS

LNG Carriers must not consume BOG during unloading unless the Terminal
Representative consents in writing. Masters wishing to consume BOG during
unloading must make such request at the Pre-unloading Meeting.
Ship’s Cargo Tank Condition:
12. ESD-1 Warm TEST

In addition to any tests that may be carried out by the Terminal prior to the LNG
tanker’s arrival the following ESD tests shall be conducted in conjunction with
each ship at the start of unloading as follows:

· Before Cooldown
o Warm ESD Test – Ship – Optic

13. Cool Down of Unloading Arms

The LNG tanker Cargo Control Room (CCR) shall confirm that the ship’s
manifolds, liquid and vapour, are open and that they are ready to discharge
product. The Terminal Control shall confirm to the LNG tanker that it is ready to
commence cool-down of the loading arms.

Following the above confirmation, cooldown of loading arms will commence

Where possible the Terminal requires that LNG tanker use its spray pumps in
order to avoid possible flow surges that could take place when using a Main Cargo
Pump. When the LNG tanker is unable to use its spray pumps for cooling down the
arms the Terminal must be advised as soon as possible before arrival. The LNG
tanker is required to assure the Terminal that they will not exceed a flow rate of
50 m3/hour during the initial stages of arm cooldown. Failure to comply with this
and thermal shocking of the arms with LNG in an uncontrolled manner will cause
the Terminal to issue a note of protest.

Depending on the arrival condition of the LNG tanker with respect to its deck lines
being in a cold or warm condition, cooldown may take longer than 1 hour.
Cooldown of the arms will not be less than one hour. LNG tanker shall adjust flow
and pressure to requests from the Terminal Control Room. If necessary, the
Terminal can adjust the rate of arm cooldown on the jetty using bypass valves and
temperature gauges to ensure that all arms are cooled down evenly together. LNG
tanker should monitor closely manifold pressures during this operation.

· Shore Tank pressure: 10 kPa

o (Max. allowed arrival CT pressure by Terminal regulations 14 kPa)
o (Max. allowed Temp 0.5 degrees difference than loading temperature)
· S’by L/D and/or H/D compressor if required
· Shore lines to be cooled down SHIP > SHORE = 80 min
· Manifold pressure at beginning 1-1.5 bars (CD valve about 1 turn)
 · Valves to be open under direct order from Loading Master
· On completion of cooldown of the unloading arms the flow rate will be
adjusted according to the Terminal requirements for any further cooldown of
shorelines

14. ESD Cold Test

· On completion of cooldown a further ESD test will be carried out to confirm
closure for valves in the cold position. The ESD will be activated by Shore. On
completion of the test both LNG tanker and shore will reset ESD systems.
· After Cooldown of unloading Arm
o Cold ESD test – Shore – Optic

Before initiating this test both LNG tanker and shore shall confirm their
readiness to each other to conduct this test.

15. Control of Return Gas to Ship.

Gas will be returned to the LNG tanker by free flow. It is the responsibility of
the LNG tanker to control the quantity of gas being received and the pressure
in its tanks via ship side valves.
In the event that pressure in the return gas line falls to 8 Kpag or below and
above 15kPag , then the ship must adjust its unloading rate until pressures
return to normal levels.
When pressure in the return gas line and shore tanks exceed 25 Kpag, the
ESD1 will be activated, the shore pressure relief valve will lift and gas will be
vented at the top of the shore tank. It is important that the Terminal Control
is informed if there is any problem with the ship taking return gas in order
that it can start the recondenser and monitor tank pressures
During the bulk discharge of the LNG tanker, a differential pressure of 5-10
KPag must be maintained between ship tanks and shore tanks.
This will be controlled by the LNG tanker via its vapour control valve and
monitored hourly in the exchange of information regarding quantities, flows
and pressure between ship and shore.

16. Cargo Handling Agreement

· When the marine terminal and the ship are in a state or readiness to
commence loading operations, the Loading Master will give permission for
the required manifold valve(s) to be opened.
· ! IMPORTANT: Once opened, the manifold valves must remain open until
such time as the Loading Master instructs them to be closed.
· ! IMPORTANT: Access to the ship's manifold or underneath the loading
arms at the shore operating platform is restricted during transfer of LNG
and when covered in ice.
· Start Discharging (Ramp Up)

18. Completion of Loading (Ramp Down)

· LNG tanker is to advise the Terminal Control one (1) hour prior to the
commencement of finishing the first cargo tank and stopping the first
unloading pump.
· The ship shall give 15 minutes and 5 minutes notice to stopping of the first
pump and thereafter advise the Terminal Control the time of stopping each
pump until discharge is completed.
 · The rate down procedures and table will be provided by LNG tanker,
discussed and agreed to during the pre-arrival meeting.
o STOP Loading by SHIP Request
o 15 and 5 minutes notice required before starting RAMP DOWN
o Ramp Down will be conducted in steps of each pump
o Ship Ramp Down Rate Required:

19. After Cargo Transfer

· Pilot will be booked 3 hours after completion of Loading - required 30
minutes notice before completion – call Agent to confirm time

20. Draining, Purging and Disconnection

· On completion of unloading the shore liquid unloading arm valves will be
closed. The ship’s manifold valves should only be closed after confirmation
that shore valves have been closed.
· The vapour line should remain open throughout draining and purging of liquid
arms.
· The primary source of nitrogen for draining and purging of the loading arms
and ships manifold will be from the terminal.
· IMPORTANT : The ship supply of nitrogen must also be available as back-up source
· After competition of load and confirmation that the ships double shut valves
are closed , the terminal will drain the inboard side of the loading arms to
shore (approx. 30. Min.).
ü NOTE1: Ships double shut valves and all drain valves at manifold must be closed prior
to commencement of draining on shore side
· The valve alignment required for draining will first be discussed and agreed
between the Loading Master (LM) and the ships representative (SR).
· The loading arms will be pressurized up to 500 kPa with nitrogen, the
draining process will be coordinated by the LM and will be performed by SR
.This may entrain 2-3 repeated draining cycles.
· When it is evident that the ships manifold and loading arms are drained the
ship will close manifold, and where required its cool down valves as part of
closing CTM process.
ü NOTE2: Typically draining of lines will take 23-30 min.
ü NOTE3 : Drains or vents to the atmosphere must not be opened at this stage

· The process for purging at this terminal will be explained by the LM.This
entails’ purging N2 into ships lines and tanks
ü NOTE4 : Typically purging will commence 20-30 min.after completition of draining-
dependent on weather conditions. This time is required for the loading arm DBV interlock
to clear.
· The loading arm will be pressurized up to 500 kPa with nitrogen the purging
process will be coordinated by the LM and performed by SR.
· This may entail repeating 2-3 times until HC content of the loading arm and
manifold is less than 2% by volume.
· After 1st purge the ships drain valve will be briefly cracked open than closed to
confirm that the arms and manifold is free of LNG.
· On confirmation that the loading arm and ships line is LNG free and contains
less than 2%HC gas by volume. Arm disconnection will commence.
· If ship has the cool down valve located inboard of the manifold ESD valve. The
LM will instruct the SR .To close manifold ESD valve(this must be closed
before loading arm DBV is closed) and leave cool down valve cracked open
until such time as the ESD valve is closed.
· Important: It is imperative that manifold ESD valve is closed promptly.
· As soon as ESD valve is closed, the line inboard of ESD valve is to be de-
pressurized
· If the ship has drain/cool down valve is located outboard of the manifold ESD
valve both valves must be closed before loading arm DBV is closed.
· In this arrangement, as soon as outboard cool down line crossover valve is
closed the inboard cool down valve should be used to de-pressurize the line
inboard of the ESD valve. Once depressurized it can then be closed ,for the
duration of the line disconnection.
· Whichever method above is used, as soon as the ship has isolated their lines
from the manifold, the terminal will immediately close loading arm DBV,
depressurize the space between DBV and ESD and commence disconnection.
· This process shall be used for each loading arm as they are manually
disconnected.
· Important! If there is a delay before disconnection, the loading arm and the
ships line to the ESD valve will be maintained at a positive pressure, but will
be depressurized prior to disconnection

21. Final gauging

· Ship’s Trim and list is maintained at even keel & up-right position when final
gauging
 · Vapor arm will be disconnected after gas burning started and
stabilized (GCU)

22. Ship/terminal post-discharge meeting

A post-unloading meeting will be held in the Ship’s Conference Room. Dock
Master or the Terminal’s Senior Duty Operator and Ship’s master and Chief
Officer will attend. Any incidents or operational difficulties are to be discussed
and remedial action agreed. Post discharge Safety Check shall be completed
and agreed to by Terminal and Ship.
All relevant information concerning departure shall be exchanged by Terminal
and Ship, all required documents and records shall be completed and agreed to
by Terminal and Ship, as appropriate.

23. Removal of Gangway & ESD Cable

ESD cable will be removed from the ship 15-20 minutes before the planned
departure. Ship personnel should be available to disconnect at this time. Prior
to the removal of the shore gangway the Ship’s Agent is to confirm to the Dock
Master that all visitors and officials have disembarked and that the Pilot is on
board. Ship personnel at the gangway should obtain permission from Ship’s
Captain to remove the gangway. During removal of the gangway the ship’s
personnel must be available to assist and monitor in the removal of the
gangway from the ship.

NOTE: Ship’s Engines must not be tested until the gangway has been removed
from the ship.
