SAFETY REQUIREMENTSAs master, you are responsible for the safe conduct of operations on your ship while in port. However, port personnel, property and other ships may also suffer serious damage in the event of an accident on your ship. We accordingly request that you show understanding for the safety requirements set out in the ship/shore safety checklist.
These safety requirements are based on the company’s procedures, which are accepted by the oil and tanker industries. We accordingly expect you and everyone under your command to adhere to them strictly throughout your stay at this plant.
For our part, we will ensure that our personnel do likewise and cooperate fully with you to our mutual benefit and understanding in ensuring that all operations are performed safely and efficiently.
To assure ourselves of your compliance with these safety requirements, we will send a member of our staff aboard your ship before the start of operations and thereafter from time to time. After reporting to you or your officer of the watch, this inspector will join the officer of the watch on a routine inspection of the ship.
If we observe that any of these safety requirements are being infringed on your ship, we will bring this immediately to the attention of yourself or your deputy for corrective action. If such action is not taken within a reasonable time, we will adopt such measures as we consider to be the most appropriate to deal with the situation and will notify you accordingly.
If you observe any infringement of these requirements by plant staff, whether on the jetty or on your ship, please bring this immediately to the notice of our representative who has been nominated as your contact during your stay in port. Should you feel that any immediate threat is posed to the safety of your ship by any action on our part, or by equipment under our control, you are fully entitled to demand an immediate cessation of operations.
The plant representative on duty is: Shift supervisor.
Communication channel UHF: CHANNEL ”1” (handset) / CHANNEL “1A” (stationary). VHF: 11
In the event of continued or flagrant disregard by any ship of these safety requirements or the attached harbour regulations, we reserve the right to stop all operations and to order the ship off the berth until appropriate action is taken by the owner and charterer concerned. It is hereby confirmed that the master has received the Kårstø Harbour Regulations and Information Handbook, and has declared his willingness to abide by their provisions.

1.2 EARLY DEPARTURE PROCEDURE (EDP). (Only to be used in exeptional cases.)
It is important to make effective use of ports under Statoil’s administration in order to shorten the time spent by vessels at these plants/facilities – Mongstad, Kårstø, Tjeldbergodden and Kalundborg. This will reduce demurrage costs and increase berth availability for a larger number of vessels.As a result, it has now been decided to implement an early departure procedure (EDP) as follows:
CARGO LOADINGCargo will be loaded as specified in the sales contract or charter party, and as agreed on the basis ofinformation in the pre-arrival notification. The notification will also be used by the master to confirm his full acceptance of the EDP in force at the port of loading. In addition, the master will authorize the agent/representative to sign the Bill of Lading, with or without protest, on behalf of the vessel.
Vessel departureAs soon as the fiscal amount is available it will be added to the ”cargo receipt form” which will be taken onboard by the Terminals representative. The amount will be given in metric tons vac. identical to the Bill of Lading figure.
After the attached cargo receipt form has been signed and consent has been obtained from the laboratory, the vessel will sail without delay. Possible protest shall be sent via fax or e-mail through the ships agent for further forwarding to the terminal with copy to ship and owner.
Communication between vessel and agentThe agent will sign the Bill of Lading as soon as possible on behalf of the master, and send copies of the original shipping documents to the vessel. A complete set of documents (ship bag) for the vessel’s own use and for cargo recipients at the port(s) of discharge will be available no later than at the time of the vessel’s arrival at its discharging port(s). If communication problems arise or where the vessel is not equipped with fax/e-mail, however, these documents will be sent to the first discharging port by the fastest available means.
When the vessel is not to sail immediatelyRegardless of what has been agreed, if ”an unacceptable variance” arises over the quantity loaded in excess of the figure declared by the vessel and agreed by the plant in the loading agreement, if applicable to that plant, the vessel will remain alongside and the figures will be rechecked by all parties involved. Should there still be no agreement as to the figures loaded, the vessel will lodge its protest and sail without delay. What figure would constitute ”an unacceptable variance” will vary from cargo to cargo, with vessel size and more importantly with the vessel’s declaration as to what would be ”an acceptable variance” for that vessel.
OTHER PROVISIONS
The following provisions will be incorporated in the sales contract of the charterparty:
Sales contract on FOB termsThe buyer has hereby agreed that the vessel will comply with the early departure procedure (EDP) currently in force at Statoil plants.
Charterparties (spot and/or COA)The vessel owner has hereby agreed to instruct the master that he should adhere fully to the early departure procedure (EDP) at Statoil’s plant when loading the cargo covered by this C/P.

Lpg Vessels and Product Tankers Arrival Departure
--> 12.000 Grt with bow thruster 1 Tug 1 Tug
--> 12.000 Grt without bow thruster 2 Tug’s * 2 Tug’s *
12.000 --> 29.999 Grt 2 Tug’s 2 Tug’s
30.000 Grt --> 3 Tug’s ** 2 Tug’s
* If weather permits, there can be used one tug on departure of oil-chemical tankers and lpg vessels below 12.000 Grt without bow thruster. This shall be decided by the captain and pilot in consultation with the terminal representative in each case.
** If weather permits, there can be used two tugs on arrival of oil-chemical tankers and lpg vessels over 30.000 Grt.This shall be decided by the captain and pilot in consultation with the terminal representative in each case.
The escort tug(s) will rendezvous with vessel after it has passed Vågholmsflua light. When departing from the harbour, an escort is required north of a line extending 235 degrees from Billingen light to land at the island of Austre Bokn. When it is deemed necessary it will be established escort for transfer between the anchorage and product jetties. As long as a vessel is present at one of the product jetties at least one tug must remain in the harbour.
2.8 ANCHORAGE
Vessels must anchor outside the seaward safety zone and south-east of a line extending 235 degrees from Billingen light to land at the island of Austre Bokn. The plant must be notified where the vessel wishes toanchor and when it has anchored. See the rules for approaching Kårstø.
2.9 CURRENTS
Currents in the harbour basin can vary in direction and velocity, depending on wind and tide. The normal current speed off the jetties is 0.4-1.7 knots, setting in a south-easterly/north-westerly direction. However, mariners should note that surface current speeds far exceeding this value can be expected during unsettled weather with strong winds. This applies particularly off jetty no 2.
2.10 TIDES
The difference between high and low tide is normally 0.6 metres, but can be as high as 1 metre.

3.1 TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
Vessels must not move around the Kårstø seaward safety authorisation. Gas and product carriers have first priority.No vessel movements are permitted inside the seaward safety zone while vessels are manoeuvring duringarrival/departure.
3.2 MOORING ARRANGEMENT ON THE JETTIES
Vessels will normally berth with their starboard side to product jetty no 1 and their port side to productjetties nos. 2 and 3.NB: Any deviation from this mooring plan must be agreed with the plant. The product jetties are identically dimensioned for vessels as outlined in appendix 12.C, while the general cargo jetty isdimensioned as outlined in appendix 12.F.
• Product jetty no 1 has sixteen 100-tons mooring hooks arranged in ten bollard positions with winches and signal lights for mooring.• Product jetty no 2 has sixteen 100-tons and six 125-tonns mooring hooks arranged in twelve bollard positions with winches and signal lights for mooring.• Product jetty no 3 has ten 75-tons mooring hooks arranged in eight bollard positions without winches and four with winches and signal lights for mooring.
3.3 MOORING
All vessels must be securely moored and maintained in the desired position at all times. The master isresponsible for ensuring that all the vessel’s mooring are closely monitored and tendered regularly to prevent undue movement of the vessel, and that all mooring on self-tensioning winches are secured with winch brakes in the locked position. All mooring wires must have rope-tail ends. Vessels above 50 000 deadweight tons must be equipped with 10 moorings, permanently installed on winches.
• Using self-tensioning winches in the automatic position is strictly forbidden. • Wires and ropes must not be mixed in the same direction.

2.12 SAFETY ZONE
The plant is surrounded by a seaward safety zone. All vessel movements inside this zone are banned unless authorised by the plant. The safety zone with harbour restrictions is shown by leading marks on Norwegian chart no 491 and in appendices 12.A and 11.B.
2.13 NO-ANCHORING ZONE
Anchoring is prohibited north of a line extending 235 degrees from Billingen light to land at the island of Austre Bokn.
16
3.4 GANGWAY FACILITIES
Gangway facilities will be made available by the plant on request, if space and availability allow.
3.5 PRE-ACCEPTANCE
Before a vessel is chartered, it must have been properly cleared and accepted by Statoil Vetting and Kårstø Harbour in accordance with the appropriate nomination procedures. See prequalification regulations and questionnaire.
All members of the crew must have a contract on pay and conditions approved by the ITF (Blue Card),or a bona fide agreement with terms equal to or better than the ITF’s.
3.6 PROCEDURES BEFORE LOADING/DISCHARGING OPERATIONS BEGIN
Before operations commence, a pre-operation meeting must be held between representatives for plant and vessel. These will jointly:
• Exchange Security Information (ISPS) with SSO. • Complete and sign the ship/shore safety check list. • Evaluate any deficiencies revealed by the check list and decide which additional precautions are required. The plant reserves the right to refuse to load a vessel if these requirements are not met. • Evaluate and agree which vessel samples are required. The plant reserves the right to draw any tank samples considered necessary prior to, during and after loading. Loading will not commence if the oxygen content in cargo tanks exceeds two per cent by volume in LPG carriers and eight per cent by volume in product and Crude oil tankers equipped with inert gas plant. • Evaluate and agree a loading/discharging programme* that includes:
a – quantities and grades to be loaded/discharged. b- loading/discharging rate c – product temperature/pressure on shore and on board d – emergency shut down procedures e – means of communication to be used during operation f – connection/disconnection procedures g – purging requirements h – use of vapour return to tank/flare system on land i – emergency procedures.
* For tankers of 20.000 tonnes deadweight and upwards, the protection of the cargo tanks, shall be achieved by a fixed inert gas system. (Ref SOLAS II-2.4.5.5.1.1)
* For Tankers under 20.000 tonnes deadweight does this not apply if the vessel is not equipped with a fixed inert gas system in accordance to SOLAS II-2.4.5.5.1.1
3.7 INDEPENDENT CARGO SURVEYOR
The plant reserves the right to employ an independent surveyor to sample and measure cargo.
3.8 CARGO-HANDLING REQUIREMENTS
The regulations and guidelines listed hereunder, as applicable and as amended from time to time, must be observed by all ships calling at the Kårstø Gas Plant. The ship’s master is required to observe all applicable statutory requirements and codes of practice.
• Kårstø Gas Plant Harbour Regulations and Information Handbook • Safety Guide for Terminals Handling Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (OCIMF) • Liquefied Gas Handling Principles on Ships and in Terminals (SIGTTO) • Tanker Safety Guide (Liquefied Gases) - International Chamber of Shipping • International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminal (ISGOTT)
16
17
3.9 QUALITY CERTIFICATE
The plant reserves the right to have an independent surveyor check the condition of the vessel’s tanks or test the quality of the content of these tanks.
3.10 EMERGENCY SHUT-DOWN SYSTEM
In order to protect loading arms and pipelines from dangerous stresses/surge pressures,the plant’s shut-down system will be activated as and when necessary. To avoid this, it is important to ensure that the vessel remains in the correct position at all times. The vessel’s emergency shut-down system must only be activated in extreme emergencies.
3.11 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES BEFORE LOADING/DISCHARGING BEGINS
• Loading/discharging must never commence until all safety checks have been carried out and approved. • Connection of loading arms is undertaken by operating personnel. Operating personnel and the responsible deck officer on the vessel must agree that the arms are correctly connected before operations start. The loading arms will be pressure-tested with nitrogen at a minimum of 5 bar. Vapour arm for propane will be connected on request from the ship. The arm will however not be connected if this affects the ability to load 2 products at the same time. Vapour return to storage tanks will only be permitted if the quality of the vapour meets the plants specifications.
• A responsible crew member with a good command of a English or Scandinavian language must remain on deck at all times during loading and discharging. • Except in an emergency, the ship must give advance warning if the loading rate has to be increased/ reduced and before topping of cargo tanks. • Operating personnel will clear the loading arms before disconnection. • The amount of cargo loaded will be calculated by the shore metering system, with the exception of ethane. • An independent surveyor of representative from the plant will witness the ship’s dip/ullage and obtain the ship figure for the quantity loaded from the master.
3.12 RULES TO BE OBSERVED DURING OPERATIONS
During operations, sufficient crew must remain onboard to deal with routine activities and any emergencies that might arise. In addition, vessels must comply with the following rules during operation:
• A vessel must fly flag”B” of the international signal code by day, and exhibit a red light by night that is visible all round the horizon and located above the upper level of the superstructure.• All doors, portholes and openings leading from the main deck to accommodation or machinery spaces must be kept closed. This also applies to ventilators and openings at any deck level above the main deck that overlooks the main deck. • All ventilators through which gas can enter must be suitably trimmed to prevent such entry, and mechanical ventilation and air conditioning units must be switched off if there is a possibility that gas might be drawn into the accommodation spaces. • The tanks on product and Crude oil tankers must only be vented through the vessel’s fixed venting (pressure/vacum system/shore VOC system). • Sighting and ullage reports must be kept closed. However, they can be opened for taking samples of ullage/temperature in the event of a failure of remote tank gauging equipment. This applies to product and Crude oil tankers. • Should an unusual development of accumulation of gas occur for any reason, loading must be stopped or the loading rate into one or several tanks reduced at the discretion of the operating personnel and the responsible vessel’s officer. This applies to product and Crude oil tankers. • Overboard suction and discharge valves must be closed at all times. See item 28 in the safety check list. • All vessels at the jetty must be maintained in a state of readiness to vacate a berth at short notice, except in cases of approved repair work. • Loading and ballast operations on product/Crude oil tankers must be suspended in the event of thunder.
17
18
• All cargo tank hatches must be kept closed and secured, and all cargo and bunker hose connections must be blanked and properly bolted when not in use. • Crude oil tankers and Product vessels must maintain a positive pressure on the loading arm during starting up and loading operation.
3.13 WIND AND VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS
The restrictions listed below are to be regarded as guidelines only, and do not limit the responsibility of either the master or the plant to ensure safe and effective conduct during arrival, loading and departure operation.
In the event of any doubt, a professional evaluation must always be made for every arrival and departure based on the ship’s engine power, possible side thrusters and prevailing weatherconditions at the jetty where the ship is due to berth.
Arrival and departure are only permitted when visibility is better than 0.5 NM.
Loading operations can be halted for all ships when the wind force exceeds 22 m/s or the wave height exceeds 1.5 metres. If weather conditions are worsening beyond the specified criteria, loading arms for all ships sizes can be disconnected and the vessel readied for departure or secured to the jetty with extra mooring lines. When necessary, assistance can be requested from one or more tugs to keep the ship against the jetty. See section 2.7 in the harbour regulations.
PRODUCT TANKERS/CRUDE OIL TANKERS WEATHER LIMITATION:
VESSELS UP TO 9 000 tdware not allowed to go alongside the jetty when the wind force exceeds 18 m/s or when the wave height exceeds one metre.

3.14 INSPECTION
The plant’s representatives will be entitled to board the vessel in order to check the harbour regulations are being observed and that cargo equipment is in safe and good working order. A special inspection will be considered on all LPG vessels calling at Kårstø for the first time, before they are allowed to go alongside the jetty.
This inspection may be repeated within two years after the first call. Further information can be obtained from the plant or the agent.
3.15 FULLY PRESSURISED VESSELS
When loading fully pressurized vessels at Kårstø minimum start-up rate must be at least 100 m3/h for a maximum period of 4 hrs., and maintain an average loading rate of minimum 200 m3/h. Duration of loading shall not exceed one day (24 hrs) from “commenced loading” to “completed loading”.
If minimum loading rate cannot be achieved the loading shall terminate, the consequences considered and the vessel may, if necessary, be sent away with the cargo they have received. The vessel/owner must in advance guarantee that they can comply with the rules in the Harbour Regulations.
3.16 PRODUCT AND CRUDE OIL TANKERS EQUIPPED WITH FIXED INERT GAS SYSTEM (IGS)
Product and Crude oil tankers intending to load naphta or Gudrun blend will not be permitted to load if they arrive at the plant with an oxygen content exceeding 8% by volume in their cargo tanks. This provision applies to vessels subject to IMO regulations for tankers equipped with a fixed IGS. Before loading begins,spot checks will be made in the cargo tanks to confirm that their oxygen content does not exceed 8%.If the vessel fails to comply with these provisions, it can be required to vacate the pant at its own expense and return to sea until the requirements are met. Prior to re-entering the plant, a Notice of Readiness will have to be re-tendered.
3.17 PURGING AND VENTING
No purging and venting to the atmosphere from the vessel are permitted at the product jetties. Flaring will not be permitted with an oxygen content above 2 per cent by volume and carbon dioxide as inert gas. LPG carriers that arrive at the plant with an inert gas other or nitrogen in their tanks must load coolant and carry out purging in the open sea or at the anchorage. Loading via the deck tank of the ship is prohibited.See section 4.8 in the harbour regulations. If the oxygen content is below two per cent by volume and the dew point is under -40° purging and venting can be permitted at the jetty and to the flare under special circumstances.
3.18 PORTABLE INSTRUMENTS
The plant reserves the right to use portable intrinsically-safe instruments on the vessel during loading/discharging operations.

3.19 EXHAUST SCRUBBERS OPEN/CLOSED LOOP SYSTEMS
It is not allowed to pump contaminated water overboard while the vessel is within Karsto harbours safety zone.
Therefore it is not allowed to operate an Open Loop Exhaust Scrubber.However it can be given exception if it is documented by shipowner that the water pumped overboard is not contaminated.
The Closed Loop Exhaust Scrubber will be allowed within Karsto harbours safety zone.
3.20 COMPULSORY VAPOUR RETURN LOADING GUDRUN BLEND LIGHT OIL
All vessels loading Gudrun Blend must be able to connect to the vapour return arm. This presupposes that the distance between vapour- and cargo manifold must be at least 2500 mm. The vessel manifold must also be in accordance with OCIMF standard.
3.21 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR TANK CLEANING/PURGING LOADING NAPHTHA and Light Oil/Condensate
If the vessel’s last cargo is of such a nature that it may cause degassing which is a nuisance for thesurrounding area of the jetty or the tank atmosphere contains more than 10 ppm of H2S, the vessel will have to purge/change the atmosphere in the cargo tanks at sea prior arrival Kårstø Gas Plant. If the vessel fails to comply with these provisions, it can be required to vacate the plant at its own expense and return to sea until the requirements are met. Prior to re-entering the plant, a Notice of Readiness will have to be re-tendered.
3.22 DRAINING AND DISCONNECTING LOADINGARMS
When the vessels have completed loading we purge the loadingarms with N2 to empty any hydrocarbons which is left to the vessel tanks, to prevent any hydrocarbons to free air and to prevent any unnecessary outlet to the environment. To purge the loadingarms to our safety flare is an unnecessary outlet to the environment and must only be used as a last resort to safely Disconnect the loadingarm.
20
21
4.1 FIRE PRECAUTIONS
The vessel’s fire-fighting appliances, including main and emergency fire pumps, must be ready for immediate use. Its fire main must be under pressure or able to be pressurised at short notice. Alternatively, an inter- national ship/shore connection must connect the vessel to the plant’s fire main. Hoses must be tested and in good condition.Portable fire extinguishers of the dry powder type, with a minimum capacity of 12 kilograms, must be placed near the vessel’s manifold. On vessels equipped with dry powder monitors, free access must be provided to the hose control valves. In addition, sufficient fire hoses to cover the deck area and manifolds should be run out and connected to the fire main.The product jetties are fitted with fixed equipment to apply foam, water and dry powder or a combination of these for fighting fires on the jetties and on vessels alongside the jetties. Harbour tugs equipped with water monitors will also be on standby in the harbour. In addition, the plant’s fire brigade will render assistance with available equipment and personnel.NB: The master of the vessel is responsible for keeping sufficient crew members on the vessel at all time to fight fires effectively and to move the vessel.
In the event of a fire on board, the ship’s responsible officer should:• activate the ship’s fire alarm• notify the plant by UHF/VHF or other established line of communication• signal by a series of prolonged blasts on the vessel’s whistle• in the event of fire on the jetties or in the plant, operating personnel will notify the ship.In the event of fire, whether on board or on shore, all jetty operations will cease immediately and loading arms will be disconnected. Vessels will be moved out to the anchorage by the harbour tugs if danger threatens in the harbour area.
4.2 HOT WORK
Hot work is defined as work that can create sparks or sufficient heat to ignite inflammable liquids or gases.Hot work is forbidden, both on vessels and on the jetties, during loading/discharging of inflammable liquids or gases and also on tugs/coasters alongside the coaster/ro-ro jetty unless authorised by the plant’s representative.
4.3 SMOKING
• Smoking is strictly prohibited on shore except in buildings or other locations for which smoking permits have been specifically issued.• A smoking room on the ship will be agreed between the master and the plant representative. The master is responsible for signposting this room.• Where smoking is normally permitted on the vessel, it may be stopped at once by the plant if circumstances warrant.
4.4 MATCHES AND LIGHTERS
The use of matches and lighters is prohibited except in an approved smoking room on board.Matches and lighters must not be carried by personnel outside this room.
4.5 NAKED FLAMES
The use of naked flames is prohibited except:• in places designated for hot work under a written permit issued by the plant• an approved smoking room.NB: Equipment likely to cause sparking should be treated as naked flames.

4.6 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
Repairs involving either hot or cold work or the use of naked flames are prohibited unless permission has been granted by the plant in writing. Repair work includes - but is not restricted to - boiler tube cleaning, chipping and scraping, hull painting and testing or servicing of electrical equipment. If written permissions are granted to undertake repairs, a list of specified work and of service workers, must be submitted to the plant before work commences. Repair work that might immobilise the vessel should not begin without prior permission.
4.7 PREVENTION OF SPARKING
Connecting and disconnecting arms/hoses and reducers/spools must be performed in a manner which avoids the danger of sparks. Soot blowing and excessive funnel smoke are prohibited, and immediate steps must be taken to eliminate sparking from the funnel(s). The vessel’s funnel(s) must be equipped with effective spark arresters.
4.8 TANK CLEANING/GAS-FREEING/PURGING
Tank cleaning, cool down, gas-freeing or inert gas purging is not permitted while the vessel is alongside the product jetty. LPG vessels arriving at the Kårstø plant with only air in the cargo compartments will be refused permission to load. However, an inerted vessel will be instructed to load sufficient coolant as specified in separate supplementary documents issued in advance. The vessel will then be required to shift to an anchorage for the cool-down operation. A cool-down operation can be performed at the product jetty under special circumstances, providing that such an operation causes no delay for other vessels arriving at the plant and ready to load. See section 3,17 in the harbour registration.
4.9 PERSONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS
Persons who are intoxicated or under the influence of drugs will not be allowed into the plant area or permitted to participate in operations. See item 39 in the safety check list.
4.10 MOVEMENT OF TUGS AND OTHER CRAFT IN THE SEAWARD SAFETY ZONE
No other vessel is allowed to come closer than 200 metres to the jetty while loading or discharging is under way, unless authorised to do so by the plant
When tugs are alongside assisting a vessel, all cargo system openings must be closed and loading must have ceased.
4.11 EMERGENCY TOWING
To ensure immediate and safe emergency towing, all ships berthed at the product jetties must have the anchor on the seaward side lowered into the water. See item 2 in the safety check list.
4.12 RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND RADAR
Operating or testing the vessel’s main radio transmitter, emergency transmitter and radar is prohibited while berthed at the jetty. The main radio transmitter must be switched off and earthed while the vessel is berthed at the jetty. See item 11 in the safety check list.
4.13 ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The plant reserves the right to impose such additional safety precautions or restrictions as it considers necessary. These will immediately be notified to the master in writing.

Mariners must observe the guidelines and regulations specified in the harbour regulations and information handbook. Statoil enforces a traffic control plan which requires advance clearance for all ships arriving at and departing from the Kårstø harbour area. No vessel is permitted to enter or leave the restricted area unless authorised by the plant.
Pre-arrival informationCoasters must notify their ETA 12 hours in advance. The contact person at the plant must be specified in this notification. The vessels must contact the Kårstø harbour office for berthing instructions on VHF channel 11 not later than 30 minutes prior to arrival.
Vessel alongside coaster/ro-ro jettyEnsuring that the vessel is securely moored at the jetty is of the utmost importance for safe operation.Loading/discharging must take place only when weather conditions are considered safe. It would be difficult to compile a complete list of emergency procedures to cover every conceivable accident. We therefore expect the master and everyone under his command to adhere strictly to the safety regulations specified in the harbour regulations.
DepartureWhen the vessel is ready to depart, the Kårstø harbour office must be contacted on VHF Ch 11 for outward clearance.

Details jetties 1, 2 and 3
• All loading arms are equipped with quick couplings and releases on all jetties.• In emergencies, a release process can be actuated manually during loading operations on all jetties.• All loading arms are normally operated by a cordless remote control on all jetties.• A hydraulic coupler is installed on each arm on all jetties to allow rapid connection/disconnection of loading arms to/from the vessel’s flange.• The distance between the loading arm flange and support legs varies from 1.25 to 1.35 metres on jetty no 1. Maintaining a space of about two metres between the vessel’s flange and a beam is accordingly recommended before attaching the loading arm.• The distance between the loading arm flange and support legs is 1.5 metres for all arms on jetty no 2. Maintaining a space of about two metres between the vessel’s flange and a beam is accordingly recommended before attaching the loading arm.• The distance between the loading arm flange and support legs varies from 1 to 1.2 metres on jetty no 3. Maintaining a space of about two metres between the vessel’s flange and a beam is accordingly recommended before attaching the loading arm.• A considerable number of reducers and spools are provided on jetty no 1, ranging from 4- to 14-inch Ansi 150 and Ansi 300.• On jetty no 2, all three LPG arms are equipped with adapters in the 8-, 10- and 12-inch Ansi 150 range. Both condensate arms are equipped with adapters in the 10-, 12-, 14- and 16-inch Ansi 150 range.• On jetty no 3 all arms are provided with spools ranging from 8- to 16-inch Ansi 150.• The minimum recommended distance between liquid and vapour manifolds hooked up on board is 1.5 metres for jetties 1 and 2, and 1.25 for jetty no 3.
Note: Mooring and holding the vessel in a proper position is of the utmost importance to prevent the loading arm being pulled away from its working area into the warning and release area.
