WEATHER AND SEAS 21 Currents ‘The surface currents of the South China Sea are influenced mainly by the monsoon winds hich control the flow of water into or from the Sulu Sea, Java Sea and through Taiwan Straight. The main current flows on the West side of the region and sets Southwest during the Northeast monsoon (November to March) and Northeast on the Southwest monsoon (May to August). During the regime of either monsoon the appropriate current has a high constancy but some variations, and even occasionally reversals may occur with irregularities in the monsoon. ‘The main current trends with the monsoonal wind direction, at up to 3 knots on the surface. 22 Winds The direction of prevailing winds is determined by monsoonal activity. Between May and September, the south-west monsoon period, south-westerly winds are predominant. Wind direction is variable in October and the during the north-east monsoon from October to January, the winds are from the north to cast ‘The winter months are subject to prevalent strong winds commencing in October. This period is also subject to monsoonal surges which may be associated with winds up to 50 knots, This is likely to affect mooring and offtake operations. In February and March the dominant wind direction is south-cast and in April, winds are again variable with the transition from the winter to summer monsoons. Typhoons, which can create wind speeds over 100 knots, are likely to be encountered in the fatter months of the year. 2.3. Waves Sea and swell conditions are directly related to the monsoons and since the Northeast monsoon (November to March) winds are stronger than those of the Southwest monsoon (uly to Augus), the maximum sea and swell conditions therefore occur during the winter ‘months. During the height of the Northeast monsoon (December/February), seas are predominantly 14ct i) oe Coie aoe ‘in| Cee Pg eect foo TESLIC TRING EER ECL At. moderate with the occasional rough sea. In February 50% of the sea and swell conditions can be expected to be consistently moderate to rough and calm seas are the exceptions throughout the area. During the change between the monsoon seasons in April/May and again in October, there is a marked improvement in the sea and swell conditions where an expectancy of 80% for smooth to slight seas can be experienced. 2.4 Climate ‘The region, influenced by the north-cast and south-west monsoonal systems, is subject to seasonal wind shifts. The south-west or summer monsoon period, which extends from May to October, is characterized by prevailing south-westerly winds and high rainfalls (greater than 200mm/month). The north-east or winter monsoon, from November to February, is a period of predominantly north-east winds and lower rain fall (less than 70mm/month). During the change from the winter monsoon to the summer monsoon (February to April), winds are variable and rainfall is low (less than 30mm/month). The minimum air temperature is 21°C and maximum 35°C. 2.5 Sea Water Temperature and S: ‘The average scawater temperature is about 26° Centigrade, the minima being experienced during February and maxima during August. ‘The salinity of the China Sea is extremely variable and is in direct contrast to the near uniform sea Surface temperatures experienced. In general, water masses of low salinity form at the surface and high salinity water of oceanic origin is found at depth. Between these two masses, a large area of mixed water is formed. These different water masses are transported by the monsoonal currents fo and fro such that many regions are altemately filled with waters of different origin resulting in large seasonal variations of salinity. ‘The sources of low salinity are the mouths of the big rivers; the Mekong in Vietnam is a typical example where the discharge of the river has a greater influence on the salinity than the actual rainfall. ‘The bottom is gently undulating from 40 metres, generally sandy. 1s3c cc = ca n oo Pai Lora SECTION 3 - SUMMARY OF THE MOST ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE MET BY OFFTAKE TANKERS LIFTING OIL AT TE GIAC TRANG TERMINAL 3.1 Offtake Tanker Size ‘The Terminal only accepts Offiake Tankers up to 150,000 DWT class.
