Version1: Applicable from 1 April 2011 - Transnet

13.1.2.3. Conveyance of cargoes will be dependent on safety, equipment availability
and cargo type and as such no abnormal cargo will be conveyed.
13.1.2.4. All vessels calling at the Ro-Ro, Break-bulk and Agricultural Terminal for the
purposes of working cargo via skips must as a minimum have twenty five
(25) ton SWL cranes. Where one or more of the vessel’s cranes falls below
twenty five (25) tons SWL and/or proves to be incapable of handling the
cargo, and the TPT norms are not attainable, then TPT may raise a
surcharge based on decreased productivity or refuse the working of such a
vessel.
13.1.2.5. Where a vessel has less than the minimum required SWL cranes and TPT
choses to work that vessel, then if the planned net norm of the vessel is
achieved in accordance with the TPT norm, TPT and the Customer will
agree between themselves to waiver any surcharge which would normally
apply.

13.2.2. Nomination firming
13.2.2.1. The Bulk Berths (berths 801, 804, and 701 to 705 and berth 609) will be
scheduled upon receipt of the ID 100, but will only be firmed by TPT, using
the updated ETA confirmation received from the vessel or representative,
within three (3) days of ETA, with an accurate ETA of within twelve (12)
hours. Should the final ETA change by more than twelve (12) hours later
than the original firm ETA, the vessel will be re-scheduled at the discretion
of TPT to an alternative window, either at the same berth or to follow on if
the berth was still occupied or at the next suitable and available berth,
provided that no scheduled or planned vessel is prejudiced thereby. In this
instance, the default period will be a three (3) day firm period.
