Prigorodnoye Export Terminal Port Regulations Rev 01 27.3 Vessel moving Out of Position whilst alongside Where a ship has moved out of position a sufficient distance to either; • activate the ESD system, or • warrant corrective action in the opinion of the Loading Master, loading will be stopped, loading arm(s) drained, purged and disconnected prior to repositioning the ship. Whenever repositioning of a ship is required, pilot and tugs must be in attendance, the ship’s engine readied, and the shore mooring gang on station. The pilot will remain onboard. 28 LNG Pre Loading Operations 28.1 Gangway On completion of mooring the Loading Master and ship’s Master will confirm to the Loading Master that the tanker is securely moored (“All Fast”), the main engine steam stop valve is shut and the turning gear has been engaged (“MESSVSTGE). "No Smoking" and "Authorised access" notices (to be provided by the ship) are to be prominently displayed at the gangway position. At this point the terminal may be advised the gangway can be lifted onboard. A member of the ship’s crew must be in attendance to guide and position the gangway steps onto the ship’s deck. Before boarding the tanker a Responsible Ship’s Officer must agree with the Loading Master that the gangway is safely in place and boarding of shore personnel can take place. The vessel’s engines are to remain in readiness with the warming through system in operation throughout the time alongside. 28.2 Connecting ESD/Communications Cables The ship shore link (SSL) shall be connected by a member of the ship crew and verified by the Loading Master to check correct. 28.3 Mooring Integrity & Safety Checks Prior to connecting the loading arms and/or commencement of the ‘Pre-loading meeting’ the Loading Master shall together with a Responsible Ship’s Officer check and confirm that all moorings are tight, brakes properly hardened up and winches are out of gear. On completion of confirming mooring integrity, connection of loading arms may proceed. In the process of conducting the mooring integrity check other safety checks as per the ship/shore checklist, insofar as they can be confirmed at this stage, should be completed. 28.4 Connecting Loading Arms 0000-S-90-01-P-0207-00-E Page 52 of 101 BM Code: EP.14.03.01.09
Prigorodnoye Export Terminal Port Regulations Rev 01 The tanker should arrive with short distance pieces fitted, if necessary. Prigorodnoye LNG export terminal uses quick connection loading arms so outboard flanges fitted with bolt holes are not required and suitable flanges for quick coupling connection will be required. Ship’s loading strainers are to be fitted to the manifold. LNG tankers will arrive with temporary manifold covers fitted to avoid water/moisture ingress into the manifold. They will be removed immediately prior to connection of the loading arms. The manoeuvring and connecting of loading arms will be carried out by the Common Facility Shift Supervisor who will advise the Responsible Ship’s Officer when the arms have been connected and secured. The order of connecting will be vapour arm first followed by the liquid loading arms. 28.5 Pre Loading Meeting Prior to the opening of the vessel’s manifold valves a ‘Pre loading meeting’ shall be held onboard the vessel. The attendees of this meeting shall be the Responsible Ship’s Officer for cargo management or his nominated deputy, the Loading Master, the independent cargo inspector as required and any other individual with a recognised and legitimate interest in the loading operation. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure that all aspects of loading and associated activities are clearly understood and documented in the required format. The agenda for this meeting shall include as a minimum for normal loading, but not necessarily be limited to the following: • Exchange of ship/shore safety information. • Status of cargo tanks on arrival (temperature and pressure). • Cool-down procedure. • Bulk loading procedure. • De-ballasting. • Anticipated weather and sea conditions. • Communications with terminal & stand-by tug. • Emergency procedures. • Schedule of operations, start/stop cargo, departure etc. • ISPS security checks and confirmation of levels observed. • Sloshing/filling limit implications for membrane LNG vessels, as applicable. The initial entry into service of new vessels and those vessels arriving ‘warm’ after refit will require fuller and more detailed discussions than those for normal loading and will in most cases involve additional participants. 28.6 Pressure Test & Purging of Loading Arms Once connected, loading arms will be pressure tested with nitrogen to a pressure of 5 bar and 2.5 bar for liquid and vapour arms respectively. A leak test will then be carried out on ship's manifold flange using a soap solution to ensure the cargo loading arms are leak tight and ready to load cargo. The arms will be depressurised by opening the vent at the ship’s manifold and O2 and, if required, dew point readings may be taken at this vent.
