Prigorodnoye Export Terminal Port Regulations Rev 01
The loading hose will be a 24” hose terminating in two 16” tail hoses for connection to the tanker
manifold. The hose will be a double carcass construction.
During the ice season, January to April, as defined in section 7.1, the conventional floating hose
will be removed and replaced by a shorter hose for connection to a bow-loading device on the
tanker. This hose will have additional arrangements to allow a quick dry disconnect. The tankers
will require special loading arrangements to be compatible with this arrangement. See 13.2.
A double acting marine breakaway coupling will be used in both hose string configurations to
protect the hose from damage due to pressure surge or elongation damage through a mooring
hawser failure and a ship breakout.
The turntable of the TLU will be sited approximately 25 metres above sea level. The head will be
free to rotate when a tanker is in residence, and during the ice-free season when the floating hose
is installed either of these will provide the necessary force to rotate the head. An extended boom
is situated on the turntable towards the tanker to which the loading hose is connected. The crude
oil flow will be through the subsea pipeline from the Oil Export Terminal (OET), the pipework in
the tower, the swivel to the head of the boom and through the loading hose to the tanker.
The mooring hawser is connected to an anchor point on the leading edge of the turntable nearest
to the tanker. Powered winches will be provided on the turntable to permit lifting of the hoses and
mooring hawser for change-out and for routine storage during the ice period.
12.2 Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and Oxygen (O2) content in cargo tanks vapours
Masters of tankers arriving at the Prigorodnoye TLU terminal are requested to analyse cargo tank
atmosphere well before arrival at Prigorodnoye to ensure that the Oxygen (O2) content is below
ISGOTT requirements of 8% by volume and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) content is below 10ppm in
all tanks. The Masters should ensure that the cargo tanks are purged and content reduced below
maximum acceptable limit as stated herein.
Vessels arriving at Prigorodnoye TLU terminal with Oxygen (O2) higher than 8% or Hydrogen
Sulphide (H2S) higher than 10ppm will be refused berthing.
