boat deck is permitted but should be minimised.
7.5

Offtake Operation

Each activity concerning the offtake operation is detailed in an

Operational
Procedure

(refer to section 3.0 References).


In the event of deteriorating weather conditions or receipt of an adverse
weather report, the Marine Officer on duty shall inform the Operations
Supervisor
immediately of the circumstances.

If the Mooring Master feels that the offloading hose at the tanker rail is
moving in such a manner that there is concern for the safety of continuing with
offtake they
shall stop the transfer operation and call the Facility Manager and inform the Master
of the Offtake Vessel.

If weather conditions deteriorate during the offtake, the criteria for when
operations shall cease and the offtake vessel shall be released are:
o

Three occurrences of peak mooring hawser tension greater than 100 tf within
one hour;

A single occurrence of peak mooring hawser tension greater than 150 tf.

It is the duty of the Operations Department to record tensions greater

than 150 tf and the time in the Operations Log.

It may be that in rapidly worsening conditions, a decision may be made to

cease the offtake and disconnect in cases of less tensions than these prescribed.

If hawser tensions greater than 100 tf are experienced the Operations

Supervisor and Mooring Master shall be called. The Mooring Master, Supply Vessel
Master and
his crew shall be on standby. The Offtake crew shall then remain on standby for
disconnecting the offloading hose and hawser until stood down by the Operations
Supervisor.

In case the Mooring Master becomes incapacitated JVPC Representative

shall take over full roles and duties of the Mooring Master and the offtake operation
should be
kept going on without discontinuation if possible
7.6

Post-Offtake Activities
Early Departure:

Early departure of the Offtake Vessel means that the Offtake Vessel is
able to depart without its copies of the offtake documentation.

Early departure shall only be performed if the client has permitted it and
the Agent has the written authority to sign all the offtake documentation on
behalf of the
Offtake Vessels Master.

If the client has not agreed to early departure and foul weather is threatening,

the
Operations Supervisor may request the MODEC Operations Manager to approach
the client to request that an early departure be permitted.

A sample normally needs to be transferred to/from the offtake tanker.

Non Early Departure:

Where EDP does not occur the offtake documents need to be transferred to

the
Offtake Vessel for signing. Transfer the documents to the Offtake Vessel will be via
the 12mm retrieval rope between Offtake Vessel forecastle and Facility poop deck.


A sample normally needs to be transferred to the offtake tanker. Where
conditions may delay such transfer and delay to the departure of the Offtake Vessel
the JVPC
Rep shall be advised. He should seek advice on any commercial implications and
give instructions accordingly.

The JVPC Representative shall sign all the documentation with the Offtake

Vessel
Master and then all the offtake crew and the offtake equipment shall be returned to
the Facility.
