requirement for each such container in degrees Centigrade ( 0 C).
6.5. Vessels may not take bunkers while on the berth unless the Terminal Operator,
in its sole discretion, has granted permission thereof. Where such permission is
granted, the Customer must ensure that the taking of bunkers in no way affects
container-handling operations. All bunker operations must be completed within
the period during which container operations take place. Vessels will not be
