Acceptance criteria for vessels calling FSU KHALIJ-E-FARS
The following criteria should be applied when determining the suitability of vessels nominated for loading at the floating storage unit KHALIJ-E-FARS. The points covered should be considered as the minimum requirements.
According to water depth 42 meters then there are no draft restrictions at SOROOSH terminal.
According to max deadweight 330,000 tons then there is no arrival displacement restrictions. Just vessel should arrive with arrival draft of under 20.00 meters.
There are no air height restrictions at FSU KHALIJ-E-FARS.
Original dwt is not applicable at SOROOSH/NOWROOZ terminal.
Only vessels of between 80,000 and 330,000 dwt can be loaded in tandem mooring configuration.
Vessels must comply with the OCIMF ”recommendations for equipment employed in the mooring of ships at single point moorings”. N.B. only 76 mm bow stopper can be accepted.
Vessel must be capable of accommodating 200 meters of 10-inch messenger line onto a single drum of the mooring winch when retrieving the bow mooring hawser. The winch drum should be cleared of all other wires or ropes prior to commencing mooring operations.
Vessels must be equipped with a amidships, port side cargo manifold that complies with the OCIMF ”recommendations for oil tanker manifolds and associated equipment”.
Vessels must be equipped with a port side crane or derrick with a minimum safe working load (SWL) of 15 tons for handling loading hoses.
Vessels must be equipped with operational inert gas system.
Vessels must be capable of loading cargo in closed loading mode (CLM).
If required to d-ballast, only CBT (clean ballast) or SBT (segregated ballast) vessels can be accepted. Furthermore, the vessel must be equipped with operational ODME.
Combination carries (obo) wherever possible should be discouraged. Such vessels should only be accepted for loading if the buyer can provide evidence (declaration) of crew competency in crude oil operations and confirm that the vessel has recently been engaged in crude oil operations e.g. last 2 cargoes carried.
Accommodation ladders used for berthing master embarkation must be aft facing i.e. approach direction from the stern of the vessel.
