down current from the TLU as the tanker makes the approach. This will be at the extent of<br />
the ‘stretched out’ messenger.<br />
The tanker will prepare a small messenger rope, which will be lowered over the port side in<br />
way of the break of the forecastle to the water. It will be lead through the forward lead<br />
through the stopper and to the mooring winch. (See preparation in 15.1). When the<br />
workboat is alongside the tanker bow, it will connect the hawser messenger to the ship<br />
messenger, and then move clear of the tanker.<br />
The tanker will commence to heave in the messenger, and continue to do this as the<br />
approach to the TLU is made. Note that the tanker speed will be minimal and adjusted so<br />
that the messenger can be heaved in without having a large bight in the water. As the<br />
hawser end is brought up, the chafe chain will pass through the forward fairlead and into the<br />
tanker chain stopper. When there are sufficient chain links in the stopper, the stopper ‘bar’<br />
can be lowered and secured, and mooring considered over. The tanker will be stopped at<br />
this time to maintain a separation with the TLU.<br />
The pull back tug can be used from this point to prevent the tanker moving towards the TLU<br />
and to reduce “fishtailing” motions of the tanker.<br />
15 TLU berthing procedure<br />
15.1 Pre arrival Preparations<br />
The pre-arrival message contains instructions on the mooring procedure and preparations for<br />
tanker is to make prior to arrival during the summer. On the forecastle a fixed winch drum is<br />
to be clear of all wires and able to take the 200 metre messenger. A small rope messenger is<br />
to be provided by the tanker along with a bow stopper to be used.<br />
At the time of boarding the tanker, the Loading Master and his assistant, will inspect the<br />
forecastle and manifold arrangements to confirm they are ready and compatible with the TLU<br />
mooring and hose connections respectively. This will ensure that there is an empty fixed<br />
drum on a mooring winch with which to heave in the hawser messenger.<br />
15.2 Anchors<br />
The anchors shall be secured in the sea going condition before the tanker enters the<br />
Offshore Security Zone.<br />
15.3 Manifold<br />
During the summer season, the port side amidship manifold blanks are to be removed and<br />
two 16 inch couplings prepared. The manifold crane or derrick is to be ready to bring on board<br />
the hose connecting equipment, weather permitting, when the Loading Master boards. If the<br />
weather is unsuitable, this operation may be performed after completion of mooring<br />
operations. This box contains all of the necessary chains, hooks, lifting strops, spanners and<br />
gaskets to secure the hose at the tanker manifold ship side saddle and to make the<br />
connections to the manifold.<br />
