SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
I. LOCATION
Island Energy Services Downstream LLC a subsidiary of Island Energy Services (herein referred to
as “IES”, “Island Energy Services” or “Company”) has been granted the use of the following
anchorage for its Barbers Point Offshore Tanker Terminal:
The waters of the Pacific Ocean within an area beginning at a point in latitude 21o 16' 58" N
and longitude 158o 04' 39" W, thence on a bearing of 090o true, 850 yards, thence on a bearing
of 180o true, 450 yards, thence on a bearing of 270o true, 850 yards, thence on a bearing of 000o
true, 450 yards to the point of beginning.
The center of the above described area is on an "approximate" bearing of 119o true, 2.3 miles from
the Barbers Point light. Four corners of the mooring are marked by buoys. The two southerly corners
of the area are marked by lighted buoys which are painted yellow only and are in 84 feet of water.
The northerly corners of the area are marked by yellow spar buoys and are in 66 feet of water. The
area is designated as area "C" on Figure 1.
The off-shore terminal facilities in the above described area are owned and operated by the
Island Energy Services, and serve to handle cargo between the refinery at Barbers Point and
tankers calling at the terminal.
The off-shore tanker terminal is the responsibility of the Operations and Logistics Managers. The
marine representative in Hawaii is the Island Energy Services Port Captain. He is responsible for all
ship operations.
All islands in the State of Hawaii are on Zone plus 10 time (10 hours slow of Greenwich Mean
Time) throughout the year. All communications should be in local time.
The local weather is usually moderate with temperatures between 75o to 85oF and northeast trade
winds between 15 to 20 miles per hour. Tropical storms and hurricanes occasionally affect the islands
between June and November. They cause high surfs and wind conditions at the mooring. Specific
plans and procedures listed in Appendix IX need to be implemented and coordinated between the ship
and the refinery in the event a storm or hurricane approaches the mooring. See the Hawaii Refinery's
Emergency Plans and Procedures Manual for further details. In winter months, storms with strong
southerly winds called "Kona" winds may render the berth unusable for several days at a time. All
vessels must be especially alert to the dangers caused by this type of weather condition. Other violent
winds may occur with the passing of a frontal system or a trough. These are more localized and occur
from either the north or the south with violence and little warning.
A complete discussion of local weather is contained in the U.S. Coast Pilot 7. Up-to-date weather
information is broadcast by the National Weather Service on 162.55 MHz.
Any changes in the weather should be immediately brought to the attention of the Mooring Master
so he may take appropriate action.
The maximum tidal range at the Mooring Area is approximately 3 feet. Mean higher high water is
2.0 feet, mean tide level is 0.8 feet and mean lower low water is 0.0 feet. The extreme low water is -
1.0 feet.
Currents normally set from east to west and are influenced more by wind than tide. However, they do
sometimes reverse. When setting from west to east, they are usually strongest when the wind velocity
is low and from the northeast or when the wind direction is from the south to west quadrant.
VI. VISIBILITY
The visibility in the mooring area is usually excellent with only rare occasions of limited visibility.
All vessels should be aware that inland rules apply inshore of a line connecting the Diamond Head
light and Barbers Point light.
SECTION 2. PORT REGULATIONS AND SERVICES
AVAILABLE
Either the vessel or the agent is required to furnish the U.S. Coast Guard at least 96 hours'
advance notice of the ship's arrival time.
Should a vessel arrive from a foreign port with sickness on board, the U.S. Public Health Service
must be notified. This is usually done through the agent.
Documents required:
Entry
Original set of Preliminary Entry Manifest as prepared dockside (see above)
Port Clearance (last port)
Vessel's Certificate of Registry
U.S. Tonnage Tax Receipts (CF-1002), prior
voyages SOLAS Certificate (Safety Equipment
Certificate) Load Line Certificate
Certificate of Financial Responsibility (CFR)
Clearance
Masters Oath of Clearance, original + 2 copies, CF-1300, signed by Master
II. LAUNCH SERVICE
If shore leave is allowed, the vessel's master must make arrangements with the agent to provide
personnel launch service. A line boat is provided for line handling. The line boat does not leave the
terminal area while the ship is in the berth.
Arrangements must be made with the ship's agent for medical services. Medical services are normally
obtained by taking the patients to Honolulu in a launch. This is a distance of 12 miles (one way).
Ambulance service is provided by the City & County of Honolulu through the island-wide emergency
telephone number 911.
IV. PROVISIONS
Arrangements for provisions are made with the ship's agent. Provisions are brought from Honolulu to
the ship by launch. Weather conditions usually allow loading only on the vessel's port side. Terminal
regulations prohibit lifting stores with the hose boom during cargo transfer operations.
Arrangements for bunkers are made with the ship's agent. No potable or boiler water is available at
the Mooring Area.
VI. REPAIRS
Repairs which render the vessel incapable of getting underway are prohibited while the vessel is in the
berth.
VII. POLLUTION
It is imperative that no oil or pollutants of any type escape into the water. All regulations regarding
pollution of the sea or air must be complied with. See Section 7 and Appendices III to VII.
Any oil spill into the water from a vessel in the moorings, at anchor, or underway in the vicinity of
the Terminal shall be immediately reported to United States Coast Guard and the Terminal facility.
If a Mooring Master is embarked, he shall notify the shore facility by radio as appropriate. In addition,
the ship's Master shall in all cases notify the vessel's agent of the occurrence of the spill, no matter
how small nor from what cause. If no Mooring Master is aboard, the vessel shall inform the Terminal
facility by the most expeditious means available. Any other notifications required of the vessel by law
shall also remain the responsibility of the vessel to carry out.
A Marine Terminal Check List has been prepared for vessels using the berth. It must be signed by the
Master, Chief Mate, Chief Engineer, Mooring Master and Mooring Master Assistant before cargo
can be handled. Its purpose is to insure that important safety and anti-pollution procedures are
followed by all personnel aboard the vessel. A copy of the Check List is included in Appendix II.
SECTION 3. MOORING
Within the mooring area there are seven mooring buoys. Vessels should moor by using both of the
ship's bow anchors and by running lines to the mooring buoys (See Figure 2). Two pipelines serve to
transfer products between the terminal and the refinery, one 20" diameter and one 30" diameter. Hose
strings attached to the ends of each of these pipelines are raised by lifting the free end of the hoses
by their attached buoys and chains. When the free end of the hose string is above the vessels deck,
the hose string is secured to the vessel by an attached chain bridle between the end and second lengths
of the hose string. The end of the hose is then lowered in smooth curve to the deck, the cap removed
and the hose connected to the vessel's piping system. Both pipelines and hose strings terminate on the
Port side of a vessel secured in the berth (see Figure 6).
Each hose string is terminated on the free end of the last 12-inch diameter section by a lever- operated,
blanked butterfly valve and a standard 12-inch 150# ANSI flange. The 20-inch system is normally
used for transferring clean products. The 30-inch system is normally used for transferring crude oil,
and residual products such as fuel oil.
The submarine pipelines extend nearly two miles to the shore and then approximately one additional
mile across flat land to the Island Energy Services refinery (see Figure 3).
This section describes procedures covering the use, handling, and storage of cargo hose for marine
and submarine use, for dock use and for use between ships (called lightering hose). It does not cover
hose for single point mooring systems or barge hose. (Size range in Company service currently runs
from 3-inch to 24-inch diameter hose.) These procedures were developed to minimize the chance of
failure during operation and to ensure maximum service life. For procurement of cargo hose, see
Model Specification PIM-MS-2923, Smooth Bore Cargo and Submarine Hose.
For SPM hose, refer to Model Specification PIM-MS-3092 and "SPM Hose Standards," "Guide for
Handling, Storage, Inspection and Testing of Hose in Field" and "SPM Hose Ancillary Equipment
Guide," latest issue, for recommendation adopted by OCIMF Oil Ports Committee. The Oil
Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) is a voluntary association of oil companies having
an interest in the shipment and terminaling of crude oil and oil products.
All hoses are capable of transferring all petroleum products and crude oil that the refinery imports or
exports.
Operating Limitations
Pressure
Exceeding Maximum Working Pressure. Applying a continuous pressure to a hose above the
maximum working pressure may permanently damage the carcass. Although the burst pressure of
new hose is at least five times its maximum working pressure, used hose may burst at pressures as
low as 500 psi.
Hose Life. Hose that has been in service 12 or more years will be retired. This is because you can't
tell by looking at a hose that it is ready to fail. Continued use of hose may result in catastrophic failure
due to age deterioration of tube and carcass materials.
Federal Safety Requirements. U. S. Federal rules and regulations pertaining to safety define the
testing and pressure limitations in the use of hose in a cargo piping system (Federal Register, Volume
35, No. 177-9/11/70 Title 33, Chapter 1, Part 126.15, Paragraph 7-IV and 7-V). Hose must not be used
in a cargo piping system where the maximum available pressure (pump, static head, and surge or relief
valve setting) exceeds the maximum rated working pressure of the hose. Instead of installing relief
systems in the hard piping at wharves, the Company has elected to use hose designed as strong as the
Class 150 piping system.
Federal Pollution Control Rules. Federal rules and regulations covering pollution control
relating to hose are listed in the Federal Register Vol. 37, No. 246, 12-21-72, Title 33, Part II,
Chapter 1, Parts 154.500, 154.20, and 156.170. Paragraph 156.170 requires that information about
each hose be available in one of two ways:
• The hose must be stenciled with product(s) handled ("oil service") and “Maximum Allowable
Working Pressure”.
• The date of mfg., burst pressure, mfg. recommended pressure, last test, etc. must be recorded
elsewhere at the facility and the hose marked so as to identify it with the information in the record.
Test requirements (pressure and frequency of test) as stated in the Federal Register, Volume 35
(pertaining to safety) must take precedence over that stated in Volume 37 where there is an apparent
conflict.
Transfer System Pressure Gage. Each piping system should have a recording pressure gage, in
operating condition with chart, in the transfer system.
Vacuum
Cargo and submarine hoses are designed to withstand a vacuum of 20 inches of mercury column.
This assures adequate resistance to vacuum in service and also gives an indication that the tube is
firmly attached to the rest of the carcass. Badly kinked hose may not withstand this much vacuum
without partial collapse.
Temperature
Hose for regular asphalt service should be purchased to Specification PIM-MS-2923, but the engineer
should specify "rough bore for 350°F asphalt service" so that the hose will be manufactured with an
internal metal reinforcement to hold the liner in place. Such hose has been giving satisfactory service.
Refer to ETD Materials Division for recommendations on use of high temperature Neoprene tube
carcass materials as an alternate to using rough bore hose.
Where operating requirements exceed normal temperature and pressure tolerances of hose,
articulated rigid pipe with ball bearing swivel joints has been used successfully.
An inner tube of Nitrile or Neoprene will provide continuous service for 1) crude and heavy oils at
180°F containing a maximum of 30% aromatics, 2) manufactured gasolines with a maximum aromatic
content of 45% at 85°F and 3) natural gas containing 25% butane at 85°F. When these limits will be
exceeded, even intermittently, hose with special liners (Viton) are required. Aromatic liquids such as
reformate, benzene, cumene, toluene, xylene and alkanes all fall in this category.
Suspend operation and remove from service any hose developing bulges, sweating, or pin hole leaks
in the carcass, or leaks between the nipple and carcass.
Handling of Hose (General Conditions)
Cargo and submarine hose should not be dragged or rolled. Acceptable ways to move hose are with
rollers, dollies, or derrick. The following instructions are intended to aid in the prevention of hose
damage.
Lifting of Hose
When making vessel connections with hose, the following precautions apply:
1. Each time before placing a length of hose in service, inspect it externally for severe damage
such as corroded or broken reinforcing wires and tears or breaks in the carcass (layers of fabric
under the cover and breaker strip). Hose showing such damage is unsafe for service. Whenever
the cover of a submarine hose has circumferential ridges, remove it from service. This
deformation indicates broken reinforcing wires.
2. Use sufficient hose to compensate for vessel movement during cargo exchange and tides,
adjusting hose as necessary to avoid kinking and abrading or tearing of cover. As the ship
changes elevation adjust the support to keep the curvature evenly distributed. Avoid crimping
the hose.
3. Position and support hose so that no sharp bends will develop. This is most important at the hose
nipple.
4. Do not permit more than 50 feet of hose to be vertically suspended in the air without intermediate
support.
6. If the cargo hose comes in contact with the vessel's rail, deck edge, and dock edge, rollers or
chafing mats must be provided. These precautions will also help prevent abrasion of hose cover
due to pulsations from reciprocating pumps. If necessary, minimize pulsations by adjusting pump
speed and keeping air chambers charged at proper pressure.
Handling of Submarine Hose
(Special Conditions)
Most frequent damage occurring to submarine hose is kinking while in service. To prevent this, keep
adjusting mooring lines as the vessel changes position as a result of operations or variations in the
weather and tides, so that the vessel will not crush the hose, bend it too sharply, override it with the
keel, or cut it with the propeller. The larger the diameter of hose the more destructive the effect of
kinking will be.
Dragging hose across the bottom at any time must not be permitted because coral, rocks, debris, etc.
will severely cut and abrade the cover. The line boat should maintain a strain on the hose buoy to
enable suspending hose when bringing the hose alongside the vessel or returning it to its normal
seafloor position. Locate ship in close proximity to hose, whereupon raising hose, it will be suspended
in a gradual long curve.
Damaged Hose
Line Pull
Whenever a cargo or submarine hose system is damaged by a longitudinal pull or by other means, all
hose in the string should be removed from service. Such hose will require close visual examination
for defects and all inspection tests to determine if it is still serviceable. Longitudinal pulling may
dislocate helix wires, break or crack flanges, and tear reinforcing fabric.
Kinking
Once a hose has been kinked, its useful life may have been seriously reduced. Kinking damages inner
fabric strength plies and often breaks metal reinforcements, making it unsuitable for use. In addition,
if a hose is operated while kinked, the increased velocity of flow at that point may flag the tube, plug
the hose, and result in a rupture failure.
Tears, cuts and abrasions penetrating through the hose cover will permit water to enter the carcass
and corrode the reinforcing metal. Corrosion results in deterioration of the fabric plies. Tears, cuts,
and abrasion through the cover should be repaired by vulcanized patching or cold vulcanizing
elastomeric putty to increase hose life and prevent failure in service.
Cleaning of Cargo Hose
All cargo hose should be thoroughly drained immediately after use to remove excess liquid and then
allowed to aerate for 24 hours. Then the hose should be blinded to slow down the drying and reduce
extraction of the plasticizers from the tube. Submarine hose should be filled with a non-aromatic
hydrocarbon.
Hose being aerated should be placed so that any spills from the hose will be contained and recovered.
No special cleaning procedures are necessary for hose in frequent service. When hose is to be placed
in storage for an indefinite period, cleaning procedures vary with the type of stock the hose carries.
Light Stocks
Evaporation will adequately cleanse hose that has handled light stocks when hose is laid straight and
level so that air may circulate freely. Hose being aerated should be placed so that any spills from the
hose will be contained and recovered.
Heavy Stocks
Hose which has handled heavy stocks normally requires special provisions for cleaning. In some
areas, this might be handled by the reclamation organization.
Storage
Hose stored for indefinite periods should be laid level and straight in a cool place protected from
direct sun. When necessary to store in sun, protect with canvas or reinforced building paper. The
cover of stored hose deteriorates faster by action of the sun and ozone than the hoses in service,
according to the manufacturers. Hoses should be stored in single height layers. Hose to be stored
should be free of oil accumulations which could cause a spill.
This section gives a procedure for routine inspection of cargo and submarine hose during service.
Hose that passes this inspection should not be expected to fail before the next required inspection.
Frequency of Inspection
Testing shall be annual or not less than 30 days prior to the first transfer conducted past one year
from the date of last tests and inspections, per CFR 156.170(f)(1)”.
Frequencies given in Figure 500-1 (next page) apply to all active hose. Where unusual service
conditions warrant, to minimize the possibility of hose failure and resultant spillage, complete internal
and external inspection should be made at more frequent intervals, particularly at new submarine
terminals. Any hose which has been out of service and not tested for more than six months should
normally be hydrostatically tested prior to reuse.
When service conditions have been abnormally severe and hose has been subjected to unusual stress
or damage resulting from movement of the vessel, serious storm conditions, or excessive pressure, or
when appearance of exposed hose shows damage, a complete inspection, including a hydrostatic test,
should be made prior to reuse, unless local management deems otherwise.
Inspection Procedure
External Inspection
1. Look for kinking of the carcass and indications of broken reinforcing, as evidenced by
circumferential ridges on the surface of the cover. Inspect for bulges, cuts, and abrasion through
the cover. Examine the external surfaces of all flanges and nipples which are not rubber covered,
for excessive corrosion, cracks, dents, scars, distortion, etc. Whenever circumferential ridges
protrude along the cover of any hose, remove it from service. This deformation may indicate
broken reinforcing wires. Broken helix wires may penetrate tube material and/or tear reinforcing
fabric, making the hose less leak and burst-resistant.
a. Hoist as many lengths of hose from the water as possible and note condition.
b. When conditions warrant, have a diver examine the outside surface of those lengths
remaining below the water.
c. Pay particular attention to the lengths closest to the vessel where possibility of damage is
greater due to movement. This applies particularly to the second, third, and fourth length
from the ship.
Internal Inspection
Disconnect each length of hose in the string and place it on a flat surface. Reflected sunlight or an
enclosed and gasketed lam should be used for illuminating the hose interior. Examine for bulges,
flagging, cuts or tears of the inner tube. (Flagging should not be confused with the extruded lip that
sometimes forms when rubber flows between the nipple and mandrel during vulcanization; this is not
harmful and may be cut off.) Examine the inner surface of all flanges and nipples for corrosion or
possible cracks.
U. S. Federal regulations require an annual hydrostatic test to 1-1/2 times maximum allowable
working pressure (Federal Register, Vol. 35, No. 177 - 9/11/70, Title 33, Chapter 1, Part 126.15).
Extend the hose horizontally on dollies or rollers. Blind both ends, connecting one end to a test pump
by means of a flexible hose and fitting the other end with an air vent valve. Fill the hose with water,
elevating the vent to assure removal of all air. With personnel at a safe distance perform the following
steps:
1. Establish the benchmark for the hose's Original Length Lo (if you do not already have it from
hose test inspection records):
a. Raise pressure to the rated working pressure and immediately release to zero pressure.
b. Raise the pressure in the hose to 10 psi and hold for 5 minutes. During this period measure
the length of the hose from end of flange to end of flange. This shall be recorded as the
Original Length, Lo.
2. Raise the pressure to 1-1/2 times the rated working pressure for the grade of hose being used
and hold this pressure for 15 minutes. During this hold period, the hose shall be examined for
any leaks at the couplings or nipples or for any indication of weakness in the hose structure
such as hard bulges, ridges, grooves and fitting movement.
Measure and record the length of hose from end of flange to end of flange. This shall be
recorded as the Test Pressure Length, Lt.
3. Reduce pressure to 25 psi and hold for 5 minutes. During this period, examine nipples for low
pressure leaks.
4. Reduce pressure to 10 psi, permit hose to rest for 15 minutes and then measure the length. This
will be recorded as the Permanent Elongated Length, Lp.
5. Using Equations 500-1 and 500-2, calculate:
Lt - Lo
= x 100 Lo
(Eq. 500-1)
Lp - Lo
= x 100 Lo
(Eq. 500-2)
7. Examinations of Elongations. After each periodic pressure test, compare the elongation test
results to those obtained when the hose was new. At the end of any periodic testing, if the
increase over the original value is greater than that shown below, the hose should be retired from
service.
a. When tested at 1-1/2 times rated working pressure, test pressure elongation at any periodic
test shall not be greater than the new hose test pressure elongation (5a) plus 4% or twice
(5a), whichever is greater.
b. Permanent elongation at any periodic test shall not be greater than the new hose permanent
elongation (5b), plus 4% or twice (5b), whichever is greater.
Excess values mean that hose carcass materials have been subjected to pressures
(tensions) greater than or at point of yield.
At each stage of the hydrostatic test and on its completion, the electrical bond in submarine hose is
tested. Wires connected to each flange and to a flashlight battery and lamp in series are commonly
used for this test. For the hose to pass the test, the lamp should light.
Vacuum Test
After the pressure test the internal bore of cargo and submarine hose should be examined under
vacuum for bulges, or blisters, i.e., areas where the tube has separated from the carcass. For this test,
close one end of the hose with a plexiglass plate, use a flashlight in the hose to illuminate the interior
near opposite end, and close the opposite end with another plexiglass plate attached to a vacuum
pump or other aspirating device. Soft rubber gaskets may be used at each end. A vacuum of 20 inches
of mercury is adequate to disclose tube separation. Submarine hose, because of its larger diameter, is
more susceptible to internal damage as a result of kinking.
Inspection Results
Hose which has tears, cuts, or abrasions through the external cover only, but is otherwise in good
condition, is suitable for repair. After repair, it should be fully tested.
When inspection reveals any of the following defects, hose is normally condemned.
Internal Inspection
Bulges in tube. Cuts, tears, or splits through tube. Flagging of tube to point where pieces might tear
loose. Any flanges or nipples with cracks.
Severe kinks. (These are kinks in which the minor outside diameter of the hose is reduced 20% or
more. They show up as a hinge action when the hose is secured a few feet away from the kink and
lifted.) Exposed carcass with broken strength wires or torn fabric. Evidence of severe corrosion of
reinforcing wires by exposure to sea water. Lumpy appearance of surface of cover caused by buildup
of corrosion products on reinforcing wires. Cracks in flanges or nipples.
External Inspection (Stranded Helical Wire Reinforced Hose or Helix Free "Kink Tolerant"
Hose)
With no internal pressure the hose must be generally round, free of 1) sharp kinks, 2) evidence of
crushing and 3) damage to hose cover such as cuts and tears. Under a vacuum of 20 inches of
mercury general flattening exceeding 55% of the nominal hose diameter and kinks which might be
obvious under the vacuum test and are indicated by a complete collapse of the carcass wall over a
short distance (generally less than 9 inches) shall be cause for rejection.
Hydrostatic Test
Any sweat or pinhole leak. Bulges that are hard or liquid filled.
Bond Test
Internal electrical bonding between nipples of submarine hose is necessary if the hose is to be an
integral part of a cathodically protected system. Failure of the electric bond in service, however,
would not justify condemning an otherwise acceptable hose. Instead, the hose would be placed at
the outboard end of the hose assembly. Internal electric bonding of hose is not required for static
protection.
The helix wire in the hose's carcass is part of the circuit. Loss of electrical bonding may mean that
the helix wire has broken.
Disposition of Condemned Hose
Condemned hose should be immediately so marked in large letters and removed from service at
once.
Evaluation Test
When in doubt as to serviceability, condemn and apply a burst test to the hose. This information
should be reported through normal communication channels as a contribution to the Company's
accumulated experience on deterioration and adequacy of inspection criteria.
The hoses have brass identification tags that provide a reference to their records*. A carefully
supervised record should be kept for each hose on either a card or a log book. The record should
include:
• Data received
• Manufacturer's name
• Hose size
• Hose length
• Type of fitting
• Date and results of periodic hydrostatic testing and examination (Indicate items to be
measured; name of tester, agency name; comments on results)
• Comments
• Date of retirement
C. Maximum deadweight tonnage 150,000. Island Energy Services may allow vessels of a
larger size under special circumstances to be determined on a case-by-case basis by Island Energy
Services Port Captain.
IV. MOORING EQUIPMENT – Island Energy Services reasonably believes, but does not
warrant, that vessels meeting the following criteria may safely moor at the berth.
A. All ground tackle must be in good working condition. Vessels up to 50,000 deadweight tons must
have at least 10 shots of chain on each anchor. Vessels over 50,000 deadweight tons must have
at least 12 shots of chain on each anchor. Windlass speed to heave at least one shot/3 minutes.
B. Mooring wire and rope specifications are shown on the "Summary of Minimum Wire
and Rope Requirements" in Appendix VII. Placement requirements:
Poop 2 2 2
(1 on drum) (1 on drum)
3. For vessels larger than 70,000 DWT, fittings must permit doubling of all lines for a total
of fourteen (14) mooring lines.
C. Each mooring winch must be capable of heaving the first layer of wire or rope on the drum at a
no-load speed of at least 130 ft./min. and a loaded speed of at least 40 feet/minute. The
respective winch speed must be maintained during simultaneous operation of one winch on the
main deck forward, one winch on the main deck aft, two winches on the stern and one anchor
windlass operating.
D. Mooring winches must be capable of warping the vessel in position without tugboat assistance.
On a case-by-case basis the Mooring Master may wave this requirement and utilize tugboat
assistance instead. Tugboats will be on vessel's account.
V. HOSE HANDLING/CARGO TRANSFER EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
A. Port hose boom and related equipment shall have minimum safe working load capacity of 10
long tons.
B. Bitts for hanging off the hose chain should be provided in front of the manifold port side.
C. Rail to manifold distance should not be less than 15 feet. Top of roll bar should not be higher
than the lower lip of the manifold flange(s).
D. All fittings, piping, and valves outside of and including the first valve on the ship's cargo and
bunker systems must be of steel construction and properly supported by a permanent installation
(i.e., vessel must meet the Arco Cast Iron Clause). No more than one reducer outside the vessel's
permanent installation will be allowed and in any case all connections must be made inside the
oil drip pan.
The facility side of hoses are in the water and no drip pans are required. Hoses are hard bolted
to hard piping on the bottom of the ocean floor.
E. All vessels must have the capability of loading segregated ballast during discharge equal to at
least 30% of vessel DWT. Those with the capability of handling segregated ballast quantity
above 30% will be less subject to delay during adverse weather conditions. Vessels may load
segregated ballast during discharge of cargo.
A. Vessels should be equipped with a search light on each bridge wing to assist in illuminating
buoys during unmooring at night.
B. The ship's crew is required to perform all hose handling work (including raising, connecting,
adjusting, disconnecting, and lowering the hoses), and adjusting of mooring wires and anchor
chains. In addition, the crew will be required to take aboard a gear basket (and if necessary an
oil spill containment boom) and to return it to the line boat after the visit. All of this work will
be done with the advice of the Mooring Master, or Mooring Master Assistant.
C. All vessels are required (at their expense) to provide feeding and separate accommodations for
one Mooring Master, one Mooring Master Assistant and one Surveyor. Also meals may be
provided for line launch crew for the duration of the visit.
D. All vessels shall comply with regulations and procedures set forth in this Operations Manual for
the Island Energy Services Barbers Point Offshore Tanker Terminal in addition to U.S. Coast
Guard regulations set forth in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (33 CFR). In the
event of conflicts between this Operations Manual and the USCG Regulations, the provisions
of the USCG Regulations shall prevail, except when provisions set forth in this Operations
Manual are more stringent than USCG's and other government regulations.
E. All vessels are subject to inspection to confirm their suitability for the Barbers Point berth.
Vessels not meeting any one of the requirements may be refused berthing.
F. Vessels may be required to unberth and/or otherwise incur delay during adverse weather
conditions.
VII. TUGBOATS
In accordance with USCG Regulations one or more tugboats are normally used to assist the vessel in
mooring at this terminal. A line boat is used to attach the vessel's lines to the mooring buoys and
assist in picking up the submarine hoses. A line boat stands by continuously to assist in unmooring
and in any emergency which may arise while the vessel is in the berth. (See also Section XV -
DEPARTURE FROM BERTH).
VIII. PILOTAGE
Pilotage is compulsory for all vessels using the berth. This service is performed by the Island Energy
Services Mooring Master who remains aboard the vessel the entire time the vessel is in the berth.
As a condition for using the berth the vessel's Master explicitly agrees that the Mooring Master is a
servant of the Master of the vessel and shall be indemnified and held harmless from all liability,
loss or claim in the course of rendering his services. The Mooring Master will advise the vessel's
Master on approaching and departing the berth, mooring, and unmooring. With the concurrence of the
vessel's Master, this advice may take the form of directions to members of the vessel's crew. All
maneuvering within the mooring area should be done in accordance with the advice of the Mooring
Master. Never the less, in all cases the Master of the vessel shall remain solely responsible on behalf
of his vessel's owner, for the safety and proper maneuvering of the vessel. The vessel's Master and a
qualified deck officer must be on the bridge at all times while the vessel is maneuvering. Appendix I
summarizes many of the duties and responsibilities of the Mooring Master.
When not anchoring on arrival, an Island Energy Services Mooring Master will board arriving
vessels.
For vessels arriving, take aboard Mooring Team at latitude 21° 14.55' N and longitude 158° 04' W.
X. LIABILITY
The services of the Mooring Master are provided upon the express understanding and condition that,
while aboard for the purpose of assisting such vessel, the Mooring Master becomes for such purposes
the servant of the owners and/or charterers of the vessel. Island Energy Services shall not be
responsible or liable for any damage or injury resulting from the advice and assistance given by such
Mooring Master or from his acts while aboard the assisted vessel.
XI. HOURS OF OPERATION
Mooring operations are conducted during daylight hours only, weather permitting. Unmooring
operations can be conducted at any time, day or night.
XII. ANCHORING
Vessels engaged in foreign trade and U.S. vessels engaged in coastwise trade must be under the
direction and control of a First Class Pilot when operating within waters in the vicinity of the Barbers
Pt. offshore pipeline terminals. The area now includes all waters bounded by a line connecting the
following points:
21°17´47"N 158°06´23"W
21°14´49"N 158°06´23"W
21°14´49"N 158°03´10"W
21°15´26"N 158°00´57"W
21°18´18"N 158°01´49"W
Vessels wishing to anchor, while awaiting berth, should consult with their agent. Island Energy
Services will advise their agent as to the berthing schedule and prospects for anchoring.
XIII. BALLAST
Shore facilities may be available for handling either dirty or clean ballast at this terminal.
Figure 4 illustrates the basic berthing procedure for the mooring. The detailed procedure is modified
to fit conditions of the berth, wind, current, sea state, vessel size/loading, limitations of vessel's
mooring gear, and other factors as recognized with the advice of the Mooring Master. In general,
the following procedure is followed for typical berthing.
• Vessel approaches the mooring on a due north heading, passing approximately 800 feet east of No.
6 mooring buoy.
• Starboard anchor is let go at Point A and 9 to 9½ shots of chain are payed out on the run, starboard
chain is then held.
• When starboard chain fetches up leading aft, port anchor is dropped at Point B and stern is worked
into berth as the starboard chain is held and the port chain is payed out to approximately 8 shots
and the lines are run to the mooring buoys. Then both chains are adjusted as necessary to position
the vessel properly in the berth.
• Wind and current will largely govern usage of tug assistance and which mooring lines are run out
first.
XV. DEPARTURE FROM BERTH (Also refer to Appendix I, #16-#20 & Safety Sec. 6, III)
• The procedure for leaving the berth is conventional for such moorings and includes the following
steps:
• Tug assistance is required for all departing laden ships. Adverse weather may require, for vessel
safety, that a laden ship depart the berth before tug assistance can be obtained.
• Lines to buoys are slacked by the vessel's crew then released at the buoy by the line boat crew.
• Anchors are heaved in one at a time and the port anchor is normally heaved in first.
• Mooring Master leaves the vessel after it is underway and well clear of the moorings.
SECTION 4. OPERATIONS AT MOORING
Vessel: Minimum personnel on duty during transfer operations are vessel's Person in Charge
(Master or Licensed Deck Officer), the Mooring Master or Mooring Master Assistant, and the
vessels on watch crew.
Shore: Minimum shore personnel on duty during transfer operations are the Area 2 Shift
Team Leader, Head Operator, Control Operator and two (2) Area Operators.
II. RESPONSIBILITY
The Master is responsible for his vessel at all times. The Mooring Master will advise the Master
with respect to the connecting of the cargo transfer hoses, valve operation, loading and
discharge pressures and temperatures, and product transfer hazards, but will not direct transfer
operations except as necessary to protect the Terminal facilities. Manipulation of the ship's
valves and the hose valve is the direct responsibility of the ship's personnel. Neither Island
Energy Services nor their personnel shall be responsible for any loss, damage, or injury
accruing in consequence of any assistance, instructions, or advice given or tendered.
In accordance with CFR 33, part 155-810, Tank Vessel Security, vessels in Island Energy
Services mooring are manned 24 hours a day and the duty of a security watchman is not
required.
A Mooring Master is required to be aboard at all times during the transfer of products to or
from a vessel in the berth. While the vessel's master remains solely responsible for all ship's
operations, the Island Energy Services Mooring Master has the local knowledge necessary for
the conduct of safe operation of the vessel in the berth and will assist in coordinating transfer
operations and maintain radio communications with the shore facility. An English speaking
member of the crew shall be stationed at the radio to provide continued communications.
Before transfer operations are begun, the Mooring Master verifies that sea suction valves are
closed and lashed, that overboard discharge lines connected to the cargo system are blocked
off and that manifolds not in use are kept blanked. If cargo is to be discharged, he will verify
that loading drops are checked to see that they are securely closed. The Mooring Master's
advice should be sought before any mooring lines or anchors are in any way adjusted.
The Mooring Master will assist the vessel's Master in conferring with shore personnel to
verify transfer instructions prior to and during the movement of any product, including
anticipated stops or other changes which affect transfer rates such as stripping operations,
crude oil washing (COW), switching pumps or manifolds to prevent equipment damage or
other mishaps.
The Mooring Master will also follow transfer operations and help compare vessel and shore
volumes. If unaccountable differences occur, cargo operations must cease until the differences
are reconciled. During emergencies, he coordinates vessel and shore operations on behalf of
the vessel and keeps all parties informed as to the nature and status of the emergency.
In the event of an oil spill, the Mooring Master will assist the Master of the vessel in notifying
the U.S. Coast Guard of the type and extent of the spill and in initiating emergency oil spill
corrective action in conjunction with terminal personnel. (See Appendix I for Mooring Master
Duties).
A Mooring Master Assistant (MMA) will board with the Mooring Master as an additional
representative of the Terminal to discuss and observe safety, pollution prevention, and oil spill
cleanup response. The MMA shall assist the Mooring Master, observe cargo operations to see
that all regulations are followed, and may relieve during cargo transfer as the Terminal Person
in Charge. (See Appendix I for MMA duties).
Due to the type of operation of Island Energy Services marine lines, there is no personnel
shelter on shore where the line exits the ocean.
Shore facilities involved in transfers of products to or from vessels in the mooring area are
controlled and monitored in the Refinery Central Control Building. These activities are
supervised by the Area II Shift Team Leader. He is assisted by a Head Operator, Control
Operator and two Operators. The Central Control Building is the oil movement
communications center. Consequently, it is manned at all times whether or not a vessel is in
the mooring area.
There is a minimum of two people on duty in the Blending and Shipping area whenever
transfers to or from a vessel are in progress. In the event of an emergency, all Blending and
Shipping personnel are radio equipped and can be contacted immediately if their assistance is
required.
Under normal circumstances, the Control Operator is stationed in the Central Control Building
and is responsible to monitor and direct all oil movements to and from ships as well as other
oil movements within the Refinery tank field. He maintains radio communication at all times
with vessel and onshore personnel who are directly involved in marine transfer operations. The
Control Operator reviews transfer instructions prior to the start of any oil movements to or from
a vessel and confirms these instructions with personnel aboard the vessel. If revisions are
necessary, he enters such revisions on the copy of transfer instructions maintained in this
Central Control Building. He directs the activities of onshore tank field personnel and arranges
for tank gauging, pump operation, tank switching, alignment of pipeline systems and other
operations required to comply with the transfer instructions. He gives notice to all personnel
involved with marine transfers prior to any changes in operations or starting or stopping
transfers. The Control Operator closely monitors oil movements to and from vessels and
compares shore volumes with ship volumes. In the event of an emergency, he maintains radio
contact with the vessel and takes action as requested by the Mooring Master and/or the Shift
Team Leader. He keeps the Shift Team Leader advised of the status of transfer operations and
notifies him immediately if any emergency occurs. If the Control Operator must leave his
station for any reason, he arranges to be relieved by personnel qualified to perform his duties.
An Operator assists the Head Operator during transfers to and from vessels. He, under the
direction of the Head Operator and/or the Shift Team Leader, performs tank, pump, pipeline,
and other field activities. He maintains radio communications with the Central Control Building
and arranges for qualified personnel to relieve him if he has to leave the tank field area.
Additional personnel are assigned by the Head Operator or Shift Team Leader as required to
assist with field operations. The Shift Team Leader oversees transfer operations and makes
changes in procedures and/or personnel as required. He also stays in radio contact with the
Central Control Building at all times during transfers involving vessels.
In accordance with paragraphs 154.710(a) of the Federal Register 33CFR, the designated
"person in charge" is the Shift Team Leader of the Blending & Shipping area.
Any vessel engaged in the transfer of products must keep sufficient officers and crew aboard
at all times to safely disconnect hoses and shift the vessel to anchor if warranted by an
emergency situation.
Transfers of products to or from vessels in the berth will be prescheduled and documented in
the form of transfer instructions (referred to as "Cargo Orders" by Refinery employees). The
instruction form provides for the following information to be recorded:
1) Name of Vessel
2) Estimated time and date of arrival of the Vessel
3) Approximate size and type of cargo
4) Instructions regarding continuous radio communications, recording of temperatures and
pressures and recording pumping data
5) Ordered steps for transferring oil including volumes, origins and destinations
6) Loading port data when available
7) Product laboratory analyses.
Prior to transferring to or from a vessel, these orders will be transmitted to all parties concerned.
They will be reviewed and revised as necessary. Once the vessel has connected to the marine
systems, these transfer instructions will be reviewed via radio by personnel stationed in the
Control Room and aboard the vessel, including the Mooring Master. Any additional revisions
will be made at that time and agreed to before transfer operations are begun. After the transfer
instructions have been finalized, transfer operations will be started when all parties confirm that
systems are ready to transfer and receive products.
If revisions in the transfer instructions are required while transfer operations are in progress,
personnel in the Central Control Building will discuss the proposed revisions with the vessel,
including the Mooring Master. When both sides agree on the revisions, each will make the
required changes on his copy of the transfer instructions (DOI).
Discharge rates from vessels over the submarine systems vary with the temperature, gravity
and viscosity of the product handled, the pressure at the ship's rail, the location of the shore
receiving tank and the height of oil in the receiving tank.
Vessels discharging products over the submarine system should discharge at maximum rates
consistent with maximum temperature and pressure limits. Discharge rates are acceptable up
to 26,000 BPH of light crudes on the 30-inch system.
The maximum temperature limits for stocks transferred over the submarine systems are:
The maximum pressure limit is 150 psig at the ship's rail (see Appendix XI for calculation of
maximum allowable pressure).
Shore tank gages will be taken every two hours on the "even" hour and exchanged with the
vessel to check total observed volumes. Vessel officers should initiate the call as soon as
possible after taking gages. If the difference is excessive, the transfer will be shut down and
still gages will be checked on both the vessel and the shore tanks. Pumping will not be
resumed until the difference has been reconciled.
The submarine systems, including the marine hoses, are designed to operate safely at pressures
above the maximum pressures that the vessel's pumps can normally achieve. The onshore
loading pump system is equipped with a pressure relief valve that is set to relieve at 240 psig
which is below the maximum allowable working pressure of the marine systems. The relief
valve was installed to comply with Title 33 CFR, Part 126.15, Section 7.(y).
Both marine pipeline systems are protected by low pressure alarms. In the event either of these
alarms sounds during transfer operations, the transfer pumps will be immediately shut down
until the cause of the low pressure has been determined. Transfers will not resume until the
situation has been evaluated and a decision has been made that it is safe to do so.
After the vessel has been securely moored in the berth, the Mooring Master will advise the
crew in the lifting and connecting of the cargo hoses following the general procedure set forth
below:
• Hose is pressurized to 80-100 psig (and remains so until hung off at rail).
• Ship's crew hangs off submarine hose at the rail with the chain attached to the hose. The
end of the hose lowered to the deck in a smooth curve.
• At the Mooring Captain's discretion, a bounce dive to check the hose position and insure the
hose is not kinked may be done.
• Ship's crew unbolts and removes blind flange from the end of the hose string. The hose is
lifted to the vessel's riser after the flange is removed. The hose is connected directly to the
vessel's riser (Figure 6). (Top of roll bar should not be higher than lower lip of manifold
flange(s).)
All submarine hoses associated with all berths of the Terminal are annually removed and
subjected to hydrostatic pressure tests and vacuum leak checks. In addition, a pressure pack is
made by the shore facility prior to commencing any transfer. The pressure pack (80#-100#) is
put on with the lines full and the hose lying on the bottom.
During the transfer, radio communications will be maintained and advance notice given to shore
and shipboard personnel ten minutes prior to stopping or starting transfers. Any variations in
operations which will affect the transfer rate will be transmitted to other personnel involved via
radio to keep all parties informed of impending changes. These variations may include stripping
tanks, switching vessel compartments or shore tankage, crude oil washing, the starting or
shutting down of any pump and changes in manifolding. This communication will assist in
preventing mishaps and equipment damage. Personnel in the Central Control Building, the
vessel's officers, and the Mooring Master aboard the vessel will closely follow volumes of
products transferred.
If any differences occur which cannot be reconciled, the transfer will be stopped and not
resumed until the cause of such differences has been determined and evaluated. Keep in mind
that ship gauges may not be accurate due to the rolling action of the sea.
Cargo is discharged to the refinery using the ship's pumps to transfer the product ashore. All
shipboard cargo transfer action is taken by ship's crew in consultation with the Mooring Master.
The sequence of operations for each transfer is controlled by facility personnel in the pumping
station control room ashore in accordance with the cargo transfer instructions.
It is important that the vessel maintain the product at the specified temperature and pressure at
the ship's rail as indicated in Section 4-VI.
It is essential that the discharging sequence be carefully planned so that stripping and/or
collecting of tank bottoms is going on during the discharge ashore. When discharging high
pour cargo, vessel shall not stop transfer for periods of more than 45 minutes. Mooring Master
will consult with the Master on the plans to assure that maximum practicable discharge rates
will be attained consistent with ship's safety. Vessel should complete discharge with Main
Cargo Pump and avoid stripping with positive displacement pumps that may cause the hose to
float. When cargo transfer is completed with high pour cargo, the terminal may require the
vessel to conduct a diesel Line Displacement using a main cargo pump. The vessel must
pump the diesel at a minimum rate of 6,000 bbl. per hour. After the main cargo pump trips,
stripping of the last tank and deck line is by stripping pump, via MARPOL line to
manifold. The ship must only pump liquid, however, and not pump any gas which can
cause the hose to float after returning it to sea.
Loading of a vessel consists of pumping the product from the shore pumping station under the
control of facility personnel in the control room. In each step of the loading operation the vessel
will be told by the shore facility precisely how many barrels of product to take aboard. The
ship's crew, with the Mooring Master's assistance, will advise the shore station when that
quantity is reached. Facility personnel in the control room will close valves and stop pumps as
appropriate to stop loading. IMPORTANT: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
CLOSE SHIP'S VALVES OR SUBMARINE HOSE VALVE AGAINST FLOW! Upon
completion of all loading operations the shore facility personnel will advise the vessel to close
the hose valve.
The particular sequence of operations for each transfer is controlled by the facility personnel
in the control room ashore. These operations follow the detailed procedure prepared by the
Refinery Short Range Planner. See Section 4-V.
At the completion of transfers, the butterfly valves on the end of the marine hoses must be
closed securely and blanked before the hoses are returned to the ocean floor.
After hoses are blanked off, shore pressurizes hoses again until they are secured on the bottom.
At the Mooring Master's discretion, a bounce dive may be done to check the hose position and
insure the hose is not kinked. Onshore facilities, such as pumps and valves, are checked at the
completion of transfers to insure they are shut down or blocked.
Volumes transferred will be verified by the Control Operator with the vessel and the Mooring
Master prior to departure of the vessel. The vessel or Mooring Master must notify the control
operator when the vessel is underway and clear of berth.
The onshore pump used for transferring products to a vessel in the berth has a remote shutdown
switch located in the control house. If, during transfer to a vessel, an emergency occurs that
requires the loading pump to be shut down, shipboard personnel shall immediately contact the
control via radio. Upon receiving the request to shut down the loading pump, the Control
Operator stationed at the radio will actuate the pump stop switch. The Control Operator may
also close motor operated valves at the Refinery plot limit on the 30" and 20" marine lines.
These valves, when activated will close completely in 25 seconds.
Additionally, each crude tank involved in transfers to or from vessels is equipped with remote
operated electrically driven valves on both the tank suction and discharge systems. In an
emergency these valves can be closed quickly. Each valve also has a manual closing system so
that it can be closed even if a power failure were to occur during or as a result of the emergency.
Once the transfer pumps are shut down and the tank's valves are blocked in, the vacuum pump
system can be activated using P-2006 for the 30" line. This pump will not pull vacuum on the
20" Mo-Gas Marine Line. Pulling suction on the 20" marine line can be accomplished by using
either P-2089 or P-2096. Manifolding these pumps will allow you to pull suction on the 20"
marine line and discharge Mo-Gas into Tank 109.
Any vessel in the mooring or in the vicinity of the moorings shall keep its engineering plant on
standby with full power available within 30 minutes to the main engine and steering gear.
Power to the anchor windlasses, deck winches, and the ship’s whistle will be available at all
times. Tension winches shall be kept on manual brake. No repairs to the engineering plant
are permitted in the moorings if such repairs impair or limit the ship's power availability in any
way. When fast in the mooring, the ship's propeller shall not be turned except by use of jacking
gear, until the hose is returned to sea, when the engine may be kicked ahead & astern.
During all discharging, loading, ballasting or deballasting operations the International Code Flag
"B" and a black anchor ball shall be displayed during daylight hours, and proper anchor lights
shall be displayed during darkness. These lights should be of a character such as to be visible
at a distance of at least 1 mile and show an unbroken white light all around the horizon.
While in the berth, vessels shall maintain by cargo or segregated ballast (or a combination of)
a minimum of 30% of DWT at all times. If ballast water is to be loaded in cargo tanks,
double valve segregation is required. Masters of double hull/double bottom vessels must
certify that there is a written cargo and ballast transfer plan covering the ship’s duration in
the mooring. The Master must also certify that the ship’s loading or discharge plan contains
provisions to ensure that positive vessel stability will be maintained at all times.
No craft may come alongside a ship in a berth of the terminal without the prior approval of the
Mooring Master. The presence of an unauthorized craft alongside a ship will render the vessel
unacceptable. It is the duty of the ship's personnel to keep the sides of the vessel clear of all
unauthorized craft.
XXI. VISITORS TO THE SHIP
Visitors to the ship are strictly prohibited while the vessel is in the moorings, except as
specifically authorized by the ship's Master after consultation with the Mooring Master.
SECTION 5. - COMMUNICATIONS
I. RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
Communications between a vessel in the mooring area and the onshore facilities are made via
VHF radio. The radios normally used for ship-to-shore communications operate on a special
frequency (Mooring talk group channel 4A). In addition, all the portable radios in B & S area
have the Mooring talk group channels. The onshore base station is located at the Central Control
Building. The base station is attended at all times and is normally operated by the Blending
and Shipping Control Operator. Shift Team Leader and the two Blending and Shipping
Operators are also fully qualified to use all ship-to-shore radios. The Shift Team Leader and
the Operators carry portable radios on a different frequency and are linked to the Head Operator
via a second base station.
The Mooring Master carries a portable radio which operates on the Mooring talk group channel
4A aboard all vessels in the mooring area to assist the vessel Master in ship-to- shore
communications. The ship's name is used as a call sign when being contacted from the shore
station. A second portable radio is operated by an English speaking deck officer on watch. If it
becomes necessary for the deck officer to leave the radio, an English speaking member of the
crew shall be stationed at the radio to maintain communications.
In the event of a failure of the Mooring talk group system, there is an on-shore maritime mobile
stations which can be used for ship-to-shore communications. It operates on VHF channels 16
and 10. The station is in the Central Control Building. The Mooring Master will also take a
portable radio which operates on the alternate frequency with him aboard each ship. The ship's
VHF radio is also capable of reaching these stations. The Central Control Building call sign is
KBP 359.
All portable radios are certified to be "intrinsically safe" and are so embossed on the
manufacturer's equipment label.
II. LANGUAGE
The official language of the terminal is English. The ship shall provide at all times personnel
capable of communicating in English with the Mooring Master and between the ship and
terminal personnel ashore. An English-speaking member of the vessel's crew shall be stationed
at all times at the radio provided for communications between the ship and terminal personnel
ashore.
SECTION 6. - SAFETY
Personnel safety equipment will be adequate, readily available, and clearly identified. The ship
shall ensure that life ring buoys are kept available in the vicinity of the pilot ladder and the
ladder will be kept at a proper height for safe boarding on and off. All personnel are to embark
or disembark utilizing a properly rigged Pilot ladder or combination ‘Pilot/Accommodation’
ladder. An accommodation ladder alone will not be used.
Firefighting equipment shall be in readiness throughout the vessel. Fire hoses with nozzles
will be laid out for immediate use on the cargo deck. There are no fixed platforms at the Island
Energy Services mooring.
The vessel shall provide sufficient personnel to moor, connect hoses, and conduct cargo
operations safely. It shall retain sufficient personnel aboard (where shore leave is permitted) to
disconnect hoses and unmoor vessel in the case of bad weather or other emergency.
Not less than one deck officer shall be on watch either at the control room or on deck. He shall
have at least two crew members on deck, alert and available at all times. One of the two crew
members shall be in sight of the cargo hoses and the ship's manifold at all times. No person
under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or any drug is to be allowed on deck.
The vessel shall be illuminated as a minimum in accordance with existing U.S. Coast Guard
regulations, providing, however, that the vessel have sufficient illumination of all spaces and
working areas associated with transfer and mooring operations. This shall include all ladders
and passageways between key operating stations, such as the pump room and ship's manifold.
In addition, vessels transferring cargo during darkness will illuminate the sea area around the
vessel. Illumination is required in order that any oil on the surface of the sea may be detected
readily so that appropriate action may be taken in a timely manner. The vessel will also display
anchor lights for a vessel for her class while at anchor awaiting berth or while in the mooring.
V. DANGEROUS GAS HAZARDS
The transfer of any product which may contain dangerous concentrations of toxic gas, such as
crudes containing hydrogen sulfide, must be undertaken only with appropriate personnel safety
precautions. The same precautions must be taken when loading tanks which have previously
held product containing such dangerous gas.
The ship's Master in consultation with the Mooring Master shall designate smoking areas. No
smoking will be permitted on deck while in the moorings. Smoking may be prohibited entirely
at times by the Mooring Master. Cigarette butts must be disposed of in appropriate containers
and shall not be thrown overboard or through portholes at any time. The ship’s Master shall be
advised of the Island Energy Services Alcohol Policy as per Appendix III.
No radio (including portable transistor radios) or electrical tool or appliance shall be used on
deck unless certified for use in hazardous petroleum areas, and then only with approval of the
Mooring Master.
Tank hatches and ullage plugs shall be kept closed at all times except when gauging, thieving,
or sampling and then only with the approval of the Mooring Master.
Doors and portholes facing the main decks shall be closed and remain closed. Ventilators shall
be kept in proper trim to minimize fire and explosion hazard.
X. FIREBOATS
A fireboat may be available, but only from Honolulu harbor. Because of the distance to the
harbor, this fireboat would be called upon only in the event that the ship's equipment cannot
control a fire.
Crude washing should be undertaken only with concurrence of Mooring Master. The Shore
Control Operator shall be notified also. See Appendix X for details.
XII. INERT GAS SYSTEMS
Normally a vessel fitted with an inert gas system (IGS) will not be permitted to carry on cargo
operations unless the inert gas system is in good order and in operation. When an IGS equipped
vessel arrives with the system inoperative, the vessel will not be berthed until the IGS is
repaired and/or put in operation. If the IGS breaks down after the vessel has berthed, all cargo
operations will be stopped and the terminal may elect to take the vessel off the berth unless the
IGS is repaired in a reasonable time. See Appendix X for details regarding IGS operation.
All time lost because of the IGS being inoperative and/or out of order will be for vessel
account.
Responsibility
Suspension of offloading during hostile mooring conditions is a judgment call by the ship's
master, on the advice of the Mooring Master.
Ship Characteristics
The characteristics of a ship's equipment and crew are important factors when considering
suspension of mooring operations. Good handling ships are equipped with efficient anchor
windlasses and mooring winches and synthetic ropes. They are also capable of loading
segregated ballast during discharge to maintain at least 30% of the vessels D.W.T. and their
crews are experienced and familiar with the off shore mooring.
When a ship is in our seven point mooring, the main consideration is the safety of the pipeline
transfer hoses and every action taken is based on preserving its integrity and avoiding a
pollution incident.
Parameters in Mooring Analysis for Stopping Cargo Operations and Vacating Berth
When weather conditions are at or near the allowable limits, the best indicator is often observing
the buoys. If buoys do not submerge, the combined forces are normally within safe limits.
The decision to suspend operations or depart the mooring is to be made by the ship's Master
on the advice of the Mooring Master.
Consideration must be given to the fact that the Barbers Point mooring site is located in a
completely open sea environment and is exposed to extreme elements of wind, waves, currents
and heavy ocean swells.
SECTION 7. WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
In accordance with U.S. Coast Guard Regulations, a fixed container or enclosed deck area must
be provided under or around each oil loading manifold and each oil transfer connecting area. A
means of draining or removing spilled oil from each container or enclosed deck area must also
be provided. Any such enclosed deck area must have means of closing each scupper or drain.
With the help of the Mooring Master, the Master will ensure that sea suction valves are
securely closed and lashed prior to starting any cargo transfer operations. Overboard
discharge lines connected to the cargo system are also to be checked to ensure that they are
effectively blocked off. Manifolds not in use will be kept blanked. If cargo is to be discharged,
all loading drops are to be securely closed. All deck scuppers are to be kept effectively
plugged and drip pans or appropriate enclosed deck areas are to be placed under manifold
hose connections. Deck hose is to be properly supported.
A vessel will be subject to rejection if inspection by the Mooring Master shows the ship not to
be oil-tight. Should a leak develop while the vessel is berthed at the Terminal, every effort shall
be made to stop that leak as quickly as possible. As a minimum this shall consist of using all
ship's pumps to transfer oil from the leaking tank or tanks. Divers for emergency hull repairs in
the moorings may be arranged for by the vessel's agent with the prior concurrence of the
Mooring Master.
If a vessel discharges or spills oil in the vicinity of the Terminal, the Terminal operators shall
have the right to take any action that may be necessary to clean up the contaminated area. This
area includes not only the sea area involved, but the shore, vessels, and any structure or property
located in or upon the sea or on the shore. Island Energy Services shall have the right to settle
any claims of third parties arising from such contamination. All costs and expenses incurred
by the Company in the course of the cleanup or claims settlement shall be borne by the
vessel or by those owning the vessel at the time of the said contamination. Island Energy
Services shall be entitled to reimbursement by said owners for any such costs and expenses.
In the event of such a contamination, the ship's Master will have been expected to
acknowledge the responsibility by signing and delivering to Island Energy Services a copy
of the form shown in Appendix II.
V. DRIP, DISCHARGE, AND SPILL CONTAINMENT AND COLLECTION
The Terminal maintains a comprehensive Oil Spill Contingency Plan. The plan provides for
bringing all required, available personnel and equipment into action to stop, contain, and
collect any oil spilled into the sea.
The procedures to be followed in the event of an oil spill in open waters such as the mooring
area are highly dependent on conditions existing at the time of the spill. Many factors must be
evaluated in order for the proper action to be taken to contain and/or clean up the spill.
Examples are the size, location and extent of the spill, wind, weather, ocean current and general
sea conditions, the time of day, the type of oil spilled, etc. Therefore, the following procedures
serve only as a guide for oil spill control, containment and cleanup and variations may be made
at the discretion of the individual directing oil spill operations.
If an oil spill occurs on the deck of a vessel, the vessel's officers, with the counsel of
the Mooring Master, will provide guidance to vessel's crew in the containment and
cleanup of the oil. They will immediately locate the source of the oil and prevent
further spillage. Oil spillage into the water must be avoided if at all possible. Should
any oil spill on deck, all cargo transfer operations will be shut down immediately and
will not resume until the spill has been satisfactorily cleaned up and authorization is
received from the U. S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port to resume operations. If oil
reaches the water, the procedures below under Paragraph B will be followed.
Oil spills may originate in the mooring area waters from a vessel, the marine hose
system or the submarine pipelines. The Mooring Master will assist vessel's crew in
surveillance of the mooring area for oil spillage from any source. If an oil spill occurs
and oil enters the water, the Mooring Master will assist vessel's crew in locating the
source of the spill and taking whatever action necessary to reduce or prevent
additional leakage. When the cause of the oil spill has been located and corrected,
the vessel then initiates cleanup and containment procedures applicable to existing
conditions. The vessel will also ensure that the oil spill is reported to the
U. S. Coast Guard and will keep shore personnel advised of the status of the spill.
The vessel must advise the Refinery via radio of onshore activities required to reduce
or eliminate oil spillage (i.e., shutting down the transfer pump, closing valves,
requesting materials, requesting boom, requesting clean-up personnel, etc.).
1. Vessel Leaks
If a vessel develops a hull leak, the deck officer will transfer the contents of the
leaking compartment to another of the vessel's compartments, if possible. If an oil spill
results from vessel's discharge system the deck officer will have the system shut down
immediately.
Procedures for controlling oil spills resulting from failure of marine hoses will vary
depending on circumstances but, in general, the following actions will be taken:
a) The deck officer will have oil transfer operations immediately stopped and
blocked in. If the transfer is to the vessel, he contacts the control house via radio
to request the onshore loading pump be shut down and tanks blocked in via the
remote control system. If the transfer is from the vessel, he has the vessel's pump
stopped and the shore puts a vacuum on hose.
b) The deck officer will request Refinery personnel via radio to take suction on
the appropriate system with the onshore emergency evacuation pump. This
should cause sea water to be sucked into the hose at the point of leakage and
prevent further spillage.
c) The Mooring Master may direct the line boat to kink the hose by folding it back
on itself. This would minimize further spillage.
e) Divers are called out to install a special slip blind to isolate the leaking hose
section.
f) A new hose section is readied and a boat takes it to the mooring area.
g) Divers lower the new hose into the desired underwater location and the hose
string is straightened.
h) The defective hose section is disconnected underwater leaving the special slip
blind in place and the new hose section is attached.
i) When the new hose section has been bolted up loosely, the special slip blind is
removed by the divers and the flange bolts tightened securely.
3. Submarine Pipeline Failure
Procedures for controlling oil spills which occur as a result of a leak in a submarine
pipeline are similar to those employed with failure of marine hoses (items A-D above).
If a submarine pipeline leak occurs that is relatively small, temporary repairs may be
made by installation of wooden or steel plugs. If the pipeline leak is the result of a
major rupture, permanent repairs would be more difficult to make and would take
much longer, possibly several days. A temporary clamp would be installed until such
repairs were complete and an underwater tent may be required to be installed over the
leak to permit leaking oil to be gathered and pumped to a boat or barge above.
The Coast Guard has prepared the Hawaii Area Contingency Plan covering the existing
local facilities. These action plans are response actions recommended by the Coast Guard
for any oil spill. This plan is available at the Hawaii Oil Spill Response Center.
D. SPILL CLEANUP
Spill cleanup will be handled in accordance with the Hawaii Refinery Oil Spill Response
Plan. This manual is available to all persons responsible for oil transfer via the offshore
mooring. The Marine Safety Office also maintains a copy. This manual details reporting,
containment, and response plans for all types of oil spills.
E. CONTAINMENT EQUIPMENT
The area of the refinery where the marine pipelines emerge above ground is protected by
dikes which are designed to adequately impound any oil leakage from valve packings, flange
leaks or pipeline leaks.
The oil spill response vessel "Clean Islands" is available to assist in the event of an
offshore oil spill. This vessel is 130 feet long and is equipped with expanding booms,
sorbents, a Walosep skimmer and other equipment required to quickly contain and clean
up an offshore spill.
A complete list of oil spill equipment aboard the O.S.R.V. is listed in Appendix VI.
Various lengths of oil spill containment boom, as required by OPA 90, shall be available
at the mooring aboard the line boat. The spill boom shall be ready for immediate
deployment and the vessel and crew may be requested to assist in containing any oil spill
incidents occurring.
SECTION 8. TRAINING PROGRAMS
Each Island Energy Services employee assigned to handle operations involving transfers of
products to or from vessels in the mooring area has had adequate training to qualify him for
such responsibilities. Operators receive approximately two weeks of detailed training in Blending
and Shipping operations by a qualified operator under the guidance of the Shift Team Leader
prior to being assigned to one of the Blending and Shipping Operator positions. Such training
includes observation of operator functions and activities, plus first hand performance under the
direction of the Operator conducting the training. In addition, each Operator goes through
extensive on and off the job training programs directly applicable to this position. Satisfactory
completion of these programs is verified by written and oral examinations. Each operator’s
individual training records are on file at the Central Control Building for review by the U.S. Coast
Guard.
Each Head Operator is trained in the Operator positions as well as the Head Operator position
before he is assigned Head Operator responsibilities. He has previously qualified in Operator
level jobs before he is trained as a Head Operator. He also is put through an on-the-job training
program designed specifically for this position. Satisfactory completion of the program is verified
by written and oral examinations.
Shift Team Leaders have had operation experience before being selected to train in these
positions. Each must be familiar with the responsibilities of all subordinate functions and
receives training in each according to his knowledge and experience. Supervisor training is
provided by Operators, Head Operators and other Shift Team Leaders as necessary to qualify
him for the responsibilities of this assignment.
Island Energy requires all Mooring Masters to have a broad maritime background, primarily
on oil tankers, and possess an Unlimited Masters License issued by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Mooring Masters undergo thorough training in all aspects of the mooring and terminal
operations. Mooring Master trainees will complete all requirements to achieve Mooring
Master Assistant as the first level of training. Mooring Master trainees will also be required
to obtain endorsements on their U.S. Coast License of First Class Pilot for the Island Energy
Conventional Buoy Mooring (formerly Chevron Offshore mooring and approaches) and
Tankerman (P.I.C.). Upon completion of all training they are issued a letter or certificate of
Mooring Master in Charge by Island Energy. In accordance with CFR 33 part 154.710,
Person in Charge must have had at least 48 hours of experience in transfer operation at a
facility of operations.

regulations.
HAZARDS NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED: May release highly toxic and flammable hydrogen sulfide
gas (H2S).
The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers air concentrations of
hydrogen sulfide gas greater than 100 ppm to be Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH).
DELAYED OR OTHER SYMPTOMS AND HEALTH EFFECTS: Prolonged or repeated exposure to this
material can cause cancer. Contains material that may cause damage to the following organ(s) following
repeated skin contact based on animal data: Liver Blood/Blood Forming Organs spleen Thymus Risk
depends on duration and level of exposure. See Section 11 for additional information.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
Do not use water spray or a direct stream of water.
_____________________________________________________________________
Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in the vicinity of the spill or released vapor. If this
material is released into the work area, evacuate the area immediately. Monitor area with combustible gas
indicator. If this material is released into a work area, evacuate the area immediately. Persons entering the
contaminated area to correct the problem or to determine whether it is safe to resume normal activities
must comply with all instructions in the Exposure Controls/PersonalProtection section.
Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent
further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing
precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying
non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. All equipment used when handling the product must be
grounded. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to
collect absorbed material. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated
materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities as appropriate or required.
Precautionary Measures: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. This material presents a fire hazard.
Liquid quickly evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence.
Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding
equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above
-10C (15F). Do not get in eyes. Do not taste or swallow. Do not breathe vapor or fumes. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
General Storage Information:DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks, flames, or hot surfaces . USE
AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep container closed when not in use.
Unusual Handling Hazards: Toxic quantities of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may be present in storage tanks
and bulk transport vessels which contain or have contained this material. Persons opening or entering
these compartments should first determine if H2S is present. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
-Section 8. Do not attempt rescue of a person over exposed to H2S without wearing approved supplied-air
or self-contained breathing equipment. If there is a potential for exceeding one-half the occupational
exposure standard, monitoring of hydrogen sulfide levels is required. Since the sense of smell cannot be
relied upon to detect the presence of H2S, the concentration should be measured by the use of fixed or
portable devices.
General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and
drainage systems and bodies of water.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this
material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves,
be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic
charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning,
sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use
appropriate mitigating procedures. For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106,
'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77, 'Recommended
Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003,
'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents'.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty
container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid,
and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and
cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly
returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.

GENETIC TOXICITY: Ethylbenzene tested negative in the bacterial mutation test, Chinese Hamster Ovary
(CHO) cell in vitro assay, sister chromatid exchange assay and an unscheduled DNA synthesis assay.
Conflicting results have been reported for the mouse lymphoma cell assay. Increased micronuclei were
reported in an in vitro Syrian hamster embryo cell assay; however, two in vivo micronuclei studies in mice
were negative. In Syrian hamster embryo cells in vitro, cell transformation was observed at 7 days of
incubation but not at 24 hours. Based on these results, ethylbenzene is not expected to be mutagenic or
clastogenic. CARCINOGENICITY: In studies conducted by the National Toxicology Program, rats and mice
were exposed to ethylbenzene at 25, 250 and 750 ppm for six hours per day, five days per week for 103
weeks. In rats exposed to 750 ppm, the incidence of kidney tubule hyperplasia and tumors was increased.
Testicular tumors develop spontaneously in nearly all rats if allowed to complete their natural life span; in
this study, the development of these tumors appeared to be enhanced in male rats exposed to 750 ppm. In
mice, the incidences of lung tumors in males and liver tumors in females exposed to 750 ppm were
increased as compared to control mice but were within the range of incidences observed historically in
control mice. Other liver effects were observed in male mice exposed to 250 and 750 ppm. The incidences
of hyperplasia were increased in the pituitary gland in female mice at 250 and 750 ppm and in the thyroid in
male and female mice at 750 ppm.

_____________________________________________________________________
CLASSIFICATION: Flammable liquid: Category 4. Carcinogen: Category 1B. Target organ toxicant
(repeated exposure): Category 2. Reproductive toxicant (developmental): Category 2. Acute inhalation
toxicant: Category 4. Acute aquatic toxicant: Category 1. Chronic aquatic toxicant: Category 1.
Target Organs: May cause damage to organs (Blood/Blood Forming Organs, Liver, Thymus) through
prolonged or repeated exposure.
Environmental Hazards: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS:
Prevention: Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been
read and understood. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. -- No smoking. Do not
breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear protective
gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Use personal protective equipment as required.
Avoid release to the environment.
Response: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. IF INHALED: Remove person to
fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Call a poison center or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. In
case of fire: Use media specified in the SDS to extinguish. Collect spillage.
Storage: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool. Store locked up.
Disposal: Dispose of contents/container in accordance with applicable local/regional/national/international
regulations.
HAZARDS NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED: Heating may release highly toxic and flammable hydrogen
sulfide (H2S). Do not attempt rescue without supplied-air respiratory protection.
_____________________________________________________________________
The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers air concentrations of
hydrogen sulfide gas greater than 100 ppm to be Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH).
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames.
Unusual Fire Hazards: See Section 7 for proper handling and storage.
_____________________________________________________________________
Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in the vicinity of the spill or released vapor. If this
material is released into the work area, evacuate the area immediately. Monitor area with combustible gas
indicator.
Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent
further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing
precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying
non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. All equipment used when handling the product must be
grounded. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to
collect absorbed material. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated
materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations. If
heated material is spilled, allow it to cool before proceeding with disposal methods.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard's National Response Center at
(800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.
General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and
drainage systems and bodies of water.
Precautionary Measures: Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with
explosive force. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights,
welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises
above 29C (85F).
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid contact of heated material with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Do not breathe vapor or fumes. Do not breathe gas. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Unusual Handling Hazards: Toxic quantities of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may be present in storage tanks
and bulk transport vessels which contain or have contained this material. Persons opening or entering
these compartments should first determine if H2S is present. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
-Section 8. Do not attempt rescue of a person over exposed to H2S without wearing approved supplied-air
or self-contained breathing equipment. If there is a potential for exceeding one-half the occupational
exposure standard, monitoring of hydrogen sulfide levels is required. Since the sense of smell cannot be
relied upon to detect the presence of H2S, the concentration should be measured by the use of fixed or
portable devices.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this
material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves,

(800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.
General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and
drainage systems and bodies of water.
Precautionary Measures: This product presents an extreme fire hazard. Liquid very quickly evaporates,
even at low temperatures, and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence.
Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding
equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. READ AND OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS ON
PRODUCT LABEL. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not get in eyes. Do not taste or
swallow. Do not breathe vapor or fumes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep out of the reach of
children.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this
material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves,
be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an
electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank

GENERAL TOXICITY: Exposure to naphthalene has been reported to cause methemoglobinemia and/or
hemolytic anemia, especially in humans deficient in the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Laboratory animals given repeated oral doses of naphthalene have developed cataracts.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY AND BIRTH DEFECTS: Naphthalene did not cause birth defects when
administered orally to rabbits, rats, and mice during pregnancy, but slightly reduced litter size in mice at
dose levels that were lethal to the pregnant females. Naphthalene has been reported to cross the human
placenta. GENETIC TOXICITY: Naphthalene caused chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid
exchanges in Chinese hamster ovary cells, but was not a mutagen in several other in-vitro
[Link]: In a study conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), mice exposed
to 10 or 30 ppm of naphthalene by inhalation daily for two years had chronic inflammation of the nose and
lungs and increased incidences of metaplasia in those tissues. The incidence of benign lung tumors
(alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas) was significantly increased in the high-dose female group but not in the
male groups. In another two-year inhalation study conducted by NTP, exposure of rats to 10, 30, and 60
ppm naphthalene caused increases in the incidences of a variety of nonneoplastic lesions in the nose.
Increases in nasal tumors were seen in both sexes, including olfactory neuroblastomas in females at 60
ppm and adenomas of the respiratory epithelium in males at all exposure levels. The relevance of these
effects to humans has not been established. No carcinogenic effect was reported in a 2-year feeding
study in rats receiving naphthalene at 41 mg/kg/day.

REPRODUCTIVE/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: No birth defects have been shown to occur in pregnant
laboratory animals exposed to doses not toxic to the mother. However, some evidence of fetal toxicity such
as delayed physical development has been seen at such levels. The available information on the effects of
benzene on human pregnancies is inadequate but it has been established that benzene can cross the
human placenta.

in female mice and kidney cancer in male rats. In their 1988 review of carcinogenic risk from gasoline, The
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) noted that, because published epidemiology studies
did not include any exposure data, only occupations where gasoline exposure may have occurred were
reviewed. These included gasoline service station attendants and automobile mechanics. IARC also
noted that there was no opportunity to separate effects of combustion products from those of gasoline itself.
Although IARC allocated gasoline a final overall classification of Group 2B, i.e. possibly carcinogenic to
humans, this was based on limited evidence in experimental animals plus supporting evidence including
the presence in gasoline of benzene. The actual evidence for carcinogenicity in humans was considered
inadequate.
MUTAGENICITY: Gasoline was not mutagenic, with or without activation, in the Ames assay (Salmonella
typhimurium), Saccharamyces cerevisesae, or mouse lymphoma assays. In addition, point mutations were
not induced in human lymphocytes. Gasoline was not mutagenic when tested in the mouse dominant lethal
assay. Administration of gasoline to rats did not cause chomosomal aberrations in their bone marrow cells.
EPIDEMIOLOGY: To explore the health effects of workers potentially exposed to gasoline vapors in the
marketing and distribution sectors of the petroleum industry, the American Petroleum Institute sponsored a
cohort mortality study (Publication 4555), a nested case-control study (Publication 4551), and an exposure
assessment study (Publication 4552). Histories of exposure to gasoline were reconstructed for cohort of
more than 18,000 employees from four companies for the time period between 1946 and 1985. The results
of the cohort mortality study indicated that there was no increased mortality from either kidney cancer or
leukemia among marketing and marine distribution employees who were exposed to gasoline in the
petroleum industry, when compared to the general population. More importantly, based on internal
comparisons, there was no association between mortality from kidney cancer or leukemia and various
indices of gasoline exposure. In particular, neither duration of employment, duration of exposure, age at
first exposure, year of first exposure, job category, cumulative exposure, frequency of peak exposure, nor
average intensity of exposure had any effect on kidney cancer or leukemia mortality. The results of the
nested case-control study confirmed the findings of the original cohort study. That is, exposure to gasoline
at the levels experienced by this cohort of distribution workers is not a significant risk factor for leukemia
(all cell types), acute myeloid leukemia, kidney cancer or multiple myeloma.

in vitro Syrian hamster embryo cell assay; however, two in vivo micronuclei studies in mice were negative.
In Syrian hamster embryo cells in vitro, cell transformation was observed at 7 days of incubation but not at
24 hours. Based on these results, ethylbenzene is not expected to be mutagenic or clastogenic.
CARCINOGENICITY: In studies conducted by the National Toxicology Program, rats and mice were
exposed to ethylbenzene at 25, 250 and 750 ppm for six hours per day, five days per week for 103 weeks.
In rats exposed to 750 ppm, the incidence of kidney tubule hyperplasia and tumors was increased.
Testicular tumors develop spontaneously in nearly all rats if allowed to complete their natural life span; in
this study, the development of these tumors appeared to be enhanced in male rats exposed to 750 ppm. In
mice, the incidences of lung tumors in males and liver tumors in females exposed to 750 ppm were
increased as compared to control mice but were within the range of incidences observed historically in
control mice. Other liver effects were observed in male mice exposed to 250 and 750 ppm. The incidences
of hyperplasia were increased in the pituitary gland in female mice at 250 and 750 ppm and in the thyroid in
male and female mice at 750 ppm.

The effects noted consisted of delayed development and minor skeletal variations. In addition, when
pregnant mice were exposed by ingestion to a level that killed nearly one-third of the test group, lethality
(resorptions) and malformations (primarily cleft palate) occurred. Since xylene can cross the placenta, it
may be appropriate to prevent exposure during pregnancy. GENETIC TOXICITY/CARCINOGENICITY:
Xylene was not genotoxic in several mutagenicity testing assays including the Ames test. In a cancer study
sponsored by the National Toxicology Program (NTP),technical grade xylene gave no evidence of
carcinogenicity in rats or mice dosed daily for two years. HEARING: Mixed xylenes have been shown to
cause measurable hearing loss in rats exposed to 800 ppm in the air for 14 hours per day for six weeks.
Exposure to 1450 ppm xylene for 8 hours caused hearing loss while exposure to 1700 ppm for 4 hours did
not. Although no information is available for lower concentrations, other chemicals that cause hearing loss
in rats at relatively high concentrations do not cause hearing loss in rats at low concentrations. Worker
exposure to xylenes at the permissible exposure limit (100 ppm, time-weighted average) is not expected to
cause hearing loss.
ECOTOXICITY
This material is expected to be toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the
aquatic environment.
MOBILITY
No data available.
The aqueous solubility of non-oxygenated unleaded gasoline, based on analysis of benzene, toluene,

Appendix III
The policy for seamen joining vessels by launch in the mooring or at anchor, who appear / act
impaired by consumption of alcohol is described below. This is necessary to ensure the safety of all
involved.
When a person reports to a launch to join a vessel, the launch Captain, Security Officer or TNC
Agent observes the individual for signs of impairment. If an individual appears impaired, the launch
Captain will delay the scheduled launch run and contact the Mooring Master or Port Captain. The
Mooring Master or Port Captain will contact a certified testing service and promptly arrange to meet
and test the individual at the launch site. Should the test prove negative (under 0.04% blood alcohol
content) the individual will be permitted to proceed to the vessel. If the test is positive (at or above
0.04% blood alcohol content) the individual will be escorted to and checked into a local hotel. Any
individual appearing impaired, that refuses to submit to alcohol testing by a certified testing service
will be considered the same as testing positive for alcohol. This policy will be enforced without
exception and no individual who tests positive will be transported to a vessel. The Master
Agent/Charter of the vessel the individual is assigned will be advised and will be responsible for the
hotel costs. If the individual is an IES employee, the Mooring Master or Port Captain will notify the
IES Logistics Manager of the situation.
The contract launch service must agree to assist IES in enforcing this policy.
The current Hawaii Area Contingency Plan is on file at Clean Islands Council Spill Response Center.

All lines on the 6 winch drums are to be the same material. All other lines are to be of the same synthetic
material. The line on a 7th winch drum on the poop, if fitted, is to be of the same wire or synthetic material as
the rest of the lines.
Lines may include rope pendants up to 300 ft in length to meet the 1,000 ft requirement as long as the pendant
and connecting shackle meet the breaking strength requirements for rope per above. Rope pendants and
shackles can be rented from the terminals. When lowering rental lines back to the workboat, the vessel’s deck
crew will be advised by the Mooring Master Assistant, to safeguard the workboat crew. Island Energy Services
recommends making fast synthetic mooring lines as per the OCIMF booklet “Effective Mooring” or by
wrapping three round turns about both bitts, then figure eight for another three turns. Chafing gear is
recommended where synthetic lines pass through chocks. It is prohibited to apply grease to any synthetic line or
to chafing gear.
No synthetic ropes with elongation over 15% at full breaking strength will be accepted. Ropes are available on
a rental basis from the terminals. Pendants under 50 ft are not subject to this requirement.
Aramid fiber ropes (Kelvar, Spectra) may meet wire breaking strength requirements if manufacturer-provided
chafing sleeves are fitted.
Mooring stations for each of the 14 lines are to be equipped with dedicated full strength, properly located,
functioning fairheads (if used) and closed chocks. Each mooring station for ropes not on winches is, in addition,
to be equipped with dedicated, full strength, properly located, functioning double horn bitts and warping
winches. Warping heads on winches with wire drums are acceptable if properly located. Closed chocks are to
be suitably sized for easily passing pendant connecting shackles if used.
24 to 30 ----> Yellow ----> Hurricane Watch 1) Civil Defense coordinator should be sent to Civil Defense Office.
2) Preparation for high winds should be complete.
3) Operations should review all plant shutdown procedures.
4) Switch to low pour point feed at the FCC and Crude Units.
4 to 6 ----> Red Hurricane Warning 1) All employees, except volunteers to remain, must evacuate the refinery at
least 1 or 2 hours before the arrival of sustained gale force winds (by order
of Civil Defense).
2) Slump any catalyst remaining in the FCC unit.
3) Continue to depressure all plants.
4) Solicit volunteers to ride out the storm in the Administration Building. Be
sure they have checked with their immediate family and have adequate
supplies.
5) As the Refinery is evacuated, shut down all boilers, secure LPG
refrigeration, secure the Cooling Tower, and open all breakers at the main
substation.
APPENDIX VIII
OVER THE RAIL PRESSURE CALCULATIONS
The pipeline was built to an ANSI rating of 150 psi which means that it has a working pressure of 275
psi at 100 degrees.
Including the tanker static head in feet and the depth of the ocean in feet, we have -
In converting this total head pressure (feet) to psi, we will use the specific gravity of our heaviest crude.
CONVERSION:
Round to 60 psi
240 psi
-60 psi
180 psi at the rail to equal 240 psi on the ocean bottom
VELOCITY LIMITATION
At a pumping rate of 25,000 barrels/hour the stock velocity is under 50 fps. The hoses used in this
terminal are all rated for 70 fps. This allows a maximum pumping rate of 37,000 barrels/hour.
Purpose: This procedure describes the steps involved in safely inspecting and changing out the
20”/30” marine line hoses.
Preparation: 1. American Divers Inc. (A.D.I.) conducts diving operations according to their Operations
Procedures & Safe Practice Manual. All A.D.I. employees involved with change must
understand and comply with its procedures.
2. Crew to assemble at pier 14 and review equipment and material checklist. Depart for
mooring area.
3. A half hour short of mooring area notify Control “O” vacuum is needed on 20”/30” hose.
4. Position tug over work area. Meet with crew and divers regarding work schedule.
ATTACHMENTS:
- 30” Marine Line Hydro-test Procedure
The following materials should be prepared and given to American Divers in preparation for the removal of the hose string
and hydro-testing of the marine pipeline.
All valves should be lubricated and checked. New bolts should be issued. Camloks on the Oil Leak Prevention Canister
should be examined and replaced as necessary. The condition of the Oil Leak Prevention Canister hoses should be
inspected and replaced if necessary.
