Pump room Ventilation - Because of the potential for the presence of hydrocarbon gas in the pump rooms,
SOLAS (Chapter II-1, Regulation 59.3), requires the use of mechanical ventilation to maintain the atmosphere in
a safe condition. The pump room should be continuously ventilated during all cargo operations. Before anyone
enters a pump room it should be thoroughly ventilated, the oxygen content of the atmosphere should be verified
and the atmosphere checked for the presence of hydrocarbon and toxic gases. Ventilation should be continuous
until access is no longer required or cargo operations have been completed.Entry into pump rooms shall be
controlled formally through written (Permit To Work) procedures.
Ventilators - Ventilators should be kept trimmed to prevent the entry of petroleum gas, particularly on tankers
which depend on natural ventilation. If ventilators are located so that petroleum gas can enter regardless of
direction in which they are trimmed, they should be covered, plugged or closed.
Central Air Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilating Systems - Intakes of central air conditioning or mechanical
ventilating systems should be adjusted to prevent the entry of petroleum gas, if possible by recirculation of air
within the enclosed spaces. If at any time it is suspected that gas is being drawn into the accommodation, central
air conditioning and mechanical ventilating systems should be stopped and the intakes covered or closed.
Window Type Air Conditioning Units - Window type air conditioning units which are not certified as safe for use
in the presence of flammable gas or which draw air from outside the superstructure must be electrically
disconnected and any external ventilators or intakes covered or closed.
Venting -Venting of cargo spaces must only take place through the vessel’s fixed venting system. Normally during
all loading operations vapours emitted from the cargo tanks will be returned ashore to the vapour recovery
system. If the vapour recovery system is not available venting of the cargo spaces will be to atmosphere via the
vessel’s approved venting system. The cargo tank venting system should be set for the operation concerned and
if required the outlets should be protected by devices to prevent the passage of flame.
Closed Operations - Loading, ballasting or de-ballasting of cargo tanks must be conducted in a closed mode
which does not permit the gauging/sampling of cargo tanks using a manual method via sighting or ullaging ports
or other openings, causing an emission of gas to atmosphere.
Overboard Valves - Overboard valves connected to the cargo system will be sealed on arrival. Except in an
emergency, seals may be removed only with the approval of the Marine Operations Superintendent and in his
presence.
Prescribed Signals - The vessel must display between sunrise and sunset the prescribed red burgee flag and
between sunset and sunrise the prescribed all round red light.
Changes in Operation - The officer shall give verbal notice to the Marine Operations Superintendent 15 minutes
before any alteration to operations and before completion of any operation.
Main Engine Readiness - A vessel alongside must be maintained in a state of full readiness to vacate the berth
at short notice.
Testing of Main Engines and Steering Gear - Prior to departure, the vessel’s main engine and steering gear are
to be tested in the presence of the Pilot.

Hazardous Material: Arrangements for the disposal of hazardous material, (including filled or partly filled oil
drums), either in bulk or in drums must be made with the vessel’s Agent, who will keep a list of contractors
licensed to handle hazardous material. All the liabilities and costs associated with this transfer will be the
responsibility of the vessel.
Stores Handling: The exposed location of the jetty does not normally permit the handling of bulk stores. Subject
to prior written authorization it is permitted to transfer small packages which can be hand carried across the
Terminal.
Entry into Confined Spaces: No entry will be permitted into any confined space whilst the vessel is alongside
the Terminal until the Marine Operations Superintendent has confirmed that the safety procedures adopted by
the vessel are appropriate to the operation and in accordance with the provisions of the International Safety
Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals and/or H.S.C. Confined Space Regulations.
Written agreement of the Marine Operations Superintendent must be obtained before entry into any confined
space whilst the vessel is alongside the Terminal. Failure to do so will result in the loading operation being
terminated and the vessel requested to leave the berth.
Data Sheet: A crude oil data sheet, MSDS, will be issued to every vessel loading at the Terminal. Masters are
responsible for ensuring that the hazards associated with the loading of this cargo, e.g. H2S, are brought to the
attention of crew members and that the data sheet is displayed at a suitable location on board prior to cargo
transfer commencing.
Partly Laden Vessels: The Master will inform the Terminal of the name, properties and nature of the part cargo
on board. If the part cargo has characteristics which indicate that a health hazard may exist, e.g. H2S,
Mercaptans, etc., then the Master will:-
• Isolate the venting system of the tanks containing cargo from that of the tanks to be loaded.
• Ensure that the tanks to be loaded are not contaminated with gases from the cargo on board.
• Release gases from the part cargo only in an emergency.
• Gauge the tanks containing the part cargo using fixed equipment or portable equipment in conjunction
with approved vapour locks.
• Sample the cargo on board using closed sampling devices in conjunction with approved vapour locks.
Note: If no such system for sampling is fitted, arrangements should be made to sample prior to arrival or after
departure from the Terminal.
Environmental Emissions: The Company is committed to the protection of the environment in which it operates.
Normally all cargo vapours from the vessel’s tanks will be returned to shore via the vapour recovery system. If
the system is unavailable the vessel will revert, to venting to atmosphere via the approved fixed venting system.
Occasionally, environmental complaints are received relating to vapour emissions from vessels alongside the
Terminal. If this occurs the loading rate will normally be reduced or loading operations suspended to eliminate
the possibility of nuisance odours. In exceptional circumstances, the Company shall reserve the right to instruct
a vessel to vacate the berth. The Company will not be liable for any cost associated with any of the above actions
nor will demurrage be payable if due or not.

Arrestment: Should the vessel or cargo be arrested by order of any court whilst the vessel is berthed at Refinery
Marine Terminal, the Master will forthwith pass to the Marine Operations Superintendent a copy of any
associated documents.
In the event of an arrestment being effected, and the Company securing the warrant of the Turkish Courts to
remove the vessel to another anchorage, including any anchorage nominated the Master, Owners and
Charterer’s of the vessel will comply to the best of their ability with the directions of the court and the Company
employees, pilots and other officers during the removal of the vessel from Refinery Marine Terminal to such
other anchorage and will not in any way hinder, obstruct or impede such officers or anyone engaged in assisting
them, including the employees of the Company, in the execution of their duty, and will ensure to the best of
their ability that the vessel’s crew do not so either.
Marine Vapour Control Emission: An operational marine vapour recovery system is installed at Refinery Marine
Terminal. The Vapour Recovery Unit is located on the jetty 2 and jetty 3 is linked to the system on shore via the
main jetty and utility systems.
Note: Only vessels fitted with fully operational and certified vapour emission control system will be accepted at
the Terminal.
