Version1: Applicable from 1 April 2011 - Transnet

6.15.3. TPT may proactively at its own discretion and at its own cost after consultation with
the vessel make recommendations to keep a vessel from becoming unproductive and
where in doing so will result in tangible turnaround benefits to a vessel under one or
more of the following conditions:
6.15.3.1. to work abnormal cargo or heavy lifts; or
6.15.3.2. to replace unproductive vessels cranes; or
6.15.3.3. to work the heavy hatch or the whole vessel
6.15.4. Where a HMC will be required to work the vessel, the relevant order document must
be endorsed accordingly, clearly stating the hatch and cargo for which the HMC is
required.
6.15.5. If the HMC is not available the Customer may at its sole cost and expense procure a
HMC from a third party, provided that prior written approval is obtained from T PT
and the TNPA. Documents authorizing the hire of a HMC must be forwarded to CPO
for consideration. The order form for the hiring of the HMC must be processed
through the CPO. Landing/shipping documents must be endorsed accordingly in
respect of the cargo that will require the use of the HMC for reconciliation for billing
purposes.
6.15.6. If the efficient working of the HMC as agreed at the Phase II is impaired by delays
such as separations, hatch cover removals, sorting of cargo inside a hatch or any
other delay not attributable to TPT, which significantly slows the working of the
HMC, TPT may at its sole discretion declare the deployment of the HMC to be
wasteful and cancel the booking and/or raise separate hire charges in accordance
with HMC hire rates for the handling of Abnormal Cargo or Heavy Lifts.
6.15.7. Nothing contained in this clause 6.15 shall be interpreted as placing any obligation
whatsoever on TPT to provide any HMCs in the circumstances envisaged in this
clause 6.15.
