13.2.6.3. The table below is an indicator of the general order of sequencing that will<br />
be used by TPT in the allocation of berths for exports at MBT where three<br />
or more berths are available for the loading of cargo other than woodchips.<br />
Allocations for berth 704 will be per clause 13.2.4 above which follow HBI<br />
specific conditions. All allocations and deviations will be managed in the<br />
sole discretion of TPT with due regard to maximum cargo throughput and<br />
berth utilisation. The indicative list should not be interpreted as a right by<br />
any vessel to claim seniority or right to the berth over another.<br />
13.2.6.4. Furthermore it must be noted that construction upgrades underway at the<br />
chrome storage areas necessitates certain chrome ore exports being<br />
incorporated into the shipping mix for berth 801. Provided these chrome<br />
parcels constitute a minimum of fifteen thousand tons (15 000 tons) for<br />
drop stow not requiring separations, then such chrome parcels will be<br />
managed as scheduled parcels for berth 801. All deviations will be<br />
managed at the sole discretion of TPT.<br />

14. TNPA Port Berthing Policy for berth 608, Richards Bay 2<br />
14.1.1. Should a phosphoric acid vessel require berth 608, a definite seventy two (72) hour notice<br />
of arrival must be given to the Berth Planner and the TPT Central Planning Office.<br />
Should a general cargo vessel occupy berth 608 and a phosphoric acid vessel arrives and<br />
wishes to berth, the General Cargo vessel must, if required to do so, move to the next<br />
available MPT berth.<br />
In such event the cost of the move will be borne by the phosphoric acid vessel. Such costs<br />
are limited to TNPA’s marine services charges only. Should no such MPT berth become<br />
