6.1 General port Information
6.1.1 Port Location
The Sines Port is located on the west coast of Portugal, some 100 km south of Lisbon. The ap-
proximate Port Coordinates are: 37° 56’ N and 8° 52’ W.
The overall Port outline is depicted on Admiralty Chart ÁREA DE JURISDIÇÃO ADMINISTRAÇÃO
DO PORTO DE SINES, of which a small scale extract is added in this manual as Annex B.
To enhance the understanding of the various areas within the eastern part of the Port of Sines
two pictures are added in Annex C and Annex D.
6.1.2 LNG Jetty and Terminal Location
Within the Port of Sines, the LNG jetty is located on the inside of the east breakwater. The on-
shore part of the LNG terminal with storage tanks is located some 2 km away in NE direction
(see also Annex C and Annex D ).
The character of the Port is a wide basin sheltered from waves from the west by a main break-
water, and natural water-depths of more than 15 m, without dredged (narrow) approach chan-
nels.
The basin where the LNG jetty is located is also sheltered by the east breakwater, which pro-
vides a well-sheltered berth for LNG Carriers (LNGC). Only in extreme south wave conditions
(with a return period of more than 5 years) will waves start to overtop. Port procedures are
based on vacating the berth at wind speeds well before overtopping starts.
The Port operates on 24 hours per day basis, be it that there is a night-time restriction for entry
of vessels larger than 250 meter.
6.1.3 Land Access to the Port Area
The jetty gangway allows access of people between the shore and the LNGC. Access across the
LNG jetty deck is subject to safety clearances to be obtained from the Terminal Officer cargo.
The entrance or exit from the ship of any person beyond the respective Authorities is not au-
thorized, before free access from boundaries entities (customs / immigration) is established, as
defined in Annex VII of the Regulation of Exploration of the Port of Sines.
When LNG is being transferred the road leading to the jetty will normally be closed to traffic
for the last 100 m to the unloading point, and vehicle entry can only be granted after obtaining
a relevant safety permit from the Terminal.
The Port area is connected to the hinterland via highways and national roads. Access to the jet-
ty area by road will require clearance by APS (gate control) and Terminal (gate control).
ID: PR-0156

All shore leaving movements should be mentioned to the Agent and a list shall be provided to
the Terminal prior to ship arrival or communicated directly to the Terminal Control Room in
case of emergency.
To comply with ISPS code and to have an effective access control (Persons and goods), a Securi-
ty Guard is permanently at the Terminal jetty gate, when ship is alongside the berth.
6.1.3.1 ISPS Level 1
The gate access is controlled by a security guard to check card access and stores delivered by
shore with prior authorization from the Terminal.
All personnel or stores shall be part of a list supplied by the agent to the Terminal prior to ship
arrival and in case of emergency, during ship jetty staying.
The security guard confirms / inspects the authenticity of the crew shore pass attributed com-
paring it with a crew list supplied by the ship and confirmed / allowed by relevant local enti-
ties.
Stores and unaccompanied luggage will be inspected with PFSO permission and quantities con-
firmed with Ship Suppliers presence.
The following cases are considered emergencies that the Terminal shall always be informed of:
• Board disease or person injury.
• Reparation on board with Terminal knowledge and approval.
• Captain or his/her representative shore leaves.
• Local entities ship-shore movement.
• Ship representatives confirmed by ship Master (via agent).
• Mooring gang call for help in case of mooring lines replacement.
• Pilots to moving the ship or repositioning it.
• Safety and Security Emergencies.
The gate security guard, when ship is alongside the jetty, do several patrols around the area
and controls the gate access, nevertheless the ship security from sea side is the ships responsi-
bility.
All measures mentioned above are applicable. People, luggage and stores are strictly inspected.
According to the Port authority and the government representative (Harbour Master), every-
thing is closed and any port movement is strictly forbidden, unless under special authorization
with all parties involved (PFSO, Ship, Port Authority and Harbour Master). The Terminal will
stay under Portuguese government decision as the ship will, when alongside the jetty.

6.1.4 Meteocean conditions
6.1.4.1 General
A tabulated summary of main statistical data on meteocean conditions and adverse weather
policy are presented in Annex E of this document. In the following paragraphs a brief narrative
is presented as further guidance to future shipping operations.
6.1.4.2 Bathymetry
The character of the Port is a wide basin sheltered from waves from the west by a main break-
water, and natural water-depths in excess of 15 m, without dredged (narrow) approach chan-
nels.
Fig. 1 – Bathymetries (Svasek Hydraulics)
6.1.4.3 Wind
Prevailing wind direction is from North to West (60% of all time). This implies that heading of
LNG jetty is with bow towards the prevailing wind direction.
• Average wind speed: 8.6 knots.

• Maximum recorded continuous wind speed: 46.4 knots.
For winds coming from Northwest to Northeast the headlands and town of Sines provide some
shelter, whilst the LNG berth is also reasonably protected against south winds by the 12 m high
south breakwater.
Metocean information is available through APS website: www.portodesines.pt .
ID: PR-0156

6.1.4.4 Waves
Generally waves are modest in height (average Hsig in winter time approx. 2 m), but always
have a long period (swell) component, prevailing directions SW to NW.
Extreme (once per 100 years return) design waves outside the Port of up to 12 m are included
in the Design Basis.
Following table 1 is showing the maximum average kD value for both layouts together. The in-
fluence of the additional transmission runs on the kD-factor is minimal and does have no effect
on the classes in this table. The resulting wave heights at the LNG jetty for seas and swells with
wave periods up to 17 seconds vary between 5% and 22% of the deep water waves.

Table 1 - Resulting kD-factors, presented in classes of 5% (Svasek Hydraulics)
Wave condition information (height, period and direction) in the Port area is most of the times
available through a buoy and a radar by APS, helping when deciding whether a vessel is clear
to enter into the Port (with pilot boarding and tug assistance).
Due to the Port configuration APS generally closes the Port only a few days per year for limita-
tions of pilot boarding and tug operations.
The LNG jetty is well sheltered against wave penetration, as previous refraction and diffraction
analysis show wave heights at the berth to be generally less than 25% of wave energy outside
the Port. This means in practice that once a Carrier is allowed to enter it should have enough
shelter to complete its discharge of product.
Whilst alongside the LNG berth mooring line loads and vessel motions are monitored and com-
pared with wave (and wind info) in support of decisions regarding various operating modes.
6.1.4.5 Tides
Tide and marine structure elevations are given relative to Chart Datum (ZH).
• LAT = 0,21 m + ZH;

• MSL = 2,00 m + ZH;
• HAT = 3,87 m + ZH;
ID: PR-0156

This data is collected in a maritime station and APS provides it on-line in the website
www.portodesines.pt , INTRANET and EXTRANET (Port Community).
6.1.4.6 Currents
Outside the Port confines typically up to 0,6 m/s; inside the Port confines negligible.
6.1.4.7 Seawater Temperatures
Minimum: 10,5 degree C;

Maximum: 23 degree C.
6.1.4.8 Visibility
Visibility in the Sines Port is generally good with 4 km visibility range for more than 90% of the
time. On calm days fog during the night and part of the morning may obstruct vessel move-
ments. In support of Port operations under poor visibility conditions the APS traffic control cen-
ter operates a radar based VTS, allowing vessel movements with a visibility down to 1 nautical
mile.
6.1.4.9 Air Temperature
Due to the exposed position of Sines into the Atlantic Ocean, air temperature fluctuations are
modest. In summer, monthly average temperatures rise to about 22ºC, whilst minimum monthly
average temperatures drop to 9ºC.
Maximum temperatures in summer reach 37ºC, whilst in winter temperatures close to 0 degree
have been recorded.
6.1.4.10 Precipitation and Humidity
On average approximately 500 mm rain falls annually, whilst air humidity varies typically be-
tween 50% and 95%.
6.1.4.11 Barometric Pressures
Minimum: 0,968 bar atm;

Average barometric pressure: 1,0177 bar atm;
Maximum: 1,0378 bar atm;
Maximum rate of change: 20 mbar/h;
6.2 Shipping Procedures
6.2.1 Arrival Information
LNGC will have to inform the Terminal first estimated time arrival (ETA) right after leaving
from port of origin (loading port). ETA updates are to be communicated 96, 72, 48, 24, 12 and 4
hours in advance, and final confirmation shall be done 2 hours before the ship arrival.
ID: PR-0156

Later adjustments shall also be communicated. All relevant parties and authorities in Sines port
community shall be notified as well.
6.2.1.1 Communications/Registrations
The vessel will send a fax (or e-mail) to the REN Atlântico main shipping contacts
(sines.shipping@renatlantico.pt), providing the following information:
Cargo Documents:
Certificate of Loading;
Cargo Manifest;
Certificate of Origin;
Bill of Lading;
Designation Notice:
Ship’s Name;
Captain name;
Cargo number;
Date/Time of Departure (FAOP;)
Receiving facility /ETA PBS (DD/MM/YY ; hh:mm – GMT);
Quantity and Quality of LNG Loaded (m3);
Estimated quantity of LNG to be unloaded (m3);
Other provisioning operation at the receiving facility;
Operations:
Discharge plan;
Main cargo parameters (temperature and pressure);
Special conditions onboard of the carrier that may affect planned cargo discharge op-
erations;
Other operations (heeling-out; stripping) under Terminal approval;
Take onboard (or offload) any supplies or wastes whilst alongside the jetty;
The Agent also will put the above information into SICP, mentioned below.
6.2.1.2 SICP (Port Community Data Base System)
The vessel (or ship agent) will contact Centro de Despacho de Navios (CDN) via SICP (see the
regulation of exploration of the Port of Sines, article 45. (www.portodesines.pt) to plan various
Port movements and arrange support marine infrastructure such as, pilot services, tugs and
mooring services.
Separately the shipper will arrange via its shipping agent various additional services, such as
provision of supplies with Terminal knowledge.
ID: PR-0156

6.2.1.3 Vessel Traffic System (VTS)
The vessel will seek contact with the VTS operator when 2 hours (or 6 miles distance) away
from the Port with channel 73, to tune final preparations, and solicit relevant Port information
that will be relevant for upcoming berthing operation.
The ship shall maintain communication (it is mandatory be recheable at all times) via radio us-
ing radio frequencies to Port call by VHF CH 12 (156.6MHz).
When maneuvering on port area;

During cargo or discharge operations;
When anchored;
6.2.2 Anchorage
APS have made the following arrangements for anchorage of various vessels (see regulation of
exploration of the Port of Sines, Annex II: Areas of anchorage and pilotage obligation; section
4,1, 4,1,1, 4,12 and 4.13 to be fulfilled.)
The LNGC is assumed not to need any anchorage, as its schedule would normally be well
planned. In general, when the LNGC arrives on time at the Pilot Boarding station (some 3 nauti-
cal miles offshore), its handling is prioritized over other marine traffic.
Should anchorage for the LNGC be unavoidable a dedicated anchorage will be assigned, typical-
ly in 40m water-depth and at least 0,6 km clear of any other vessel.
6.2.3 Final approach into port
From the Pilot Boarding station the incoming carrier shall sail an approximate NW/N course to
arrive in the main Port basin. Over at least its last nautical mile it shall generally be accompa-
nied by 4 (secured) Port tugs. Depending on weather condition, it may be accompanied by 5
tugs.
All the necessary resources to maneuver are defined in Annex IV of the regulation of explora-
tion of the Port of Sines. The tugs are equipped with fire fighting equipment.
The decision to commit an LNGC to a final approach into the Port is taken by the Pilot and
ship’s Master, after verification of latest information from the Vessel Traffic Control Centre,
and after receiving clearance that no other sailing vessel is to approach the LNGC within 600 m
whilst maneuvering into the Port.
Once stopped in the main Port Basin the LNGC shall be turned to Port, and backed-up into the
basin parallel to the berthing line of the LNG jetty. In this arrangement the LNGC will always
berth “bow-out”.
ID: PR-0156

6.2.4 Berthing
The final approach towards the LNG jetty will be made by portside, as to leave from port itself
in case of emergency, with tugs pushing and pulling as required. The design berthing velocity is
0,12 m/s (see Annex H for more detailed parameters of the LNG jetty).
To assist the final approach the LNG jetty is equipped with an approach velocity meter system
to provide pilots and ship crew with information on distance, speed and berthing angle. Speed
alarms (Traffic lights) are activated when the vessel approaches at dangerous speed to the
mooring Fenders, for bow and stern separately. Traffic lights are integrated in a Led Digit Dis-
play, they indicate:
Red: dangerous speed approach
Amber: too fast speed approach (near dangerous)
Green: safe speed approach
Each of the 5 breasting dolphins is equipped with a rubber (buckling) cell-type fender and load
distribution panel, which will ensure hull pressures stay below 250 kN/m2. The unloading plat-
form is equipped with the same fender for small LNGC. The maximum design arrival displace-
ment of the LNGC is set at 150.000 metric tons.
The jetty structure is designed to handle a range of LNGC between 35.000 and 216.000 m3,
whilst the layouts are optimized for the class of vessels in excess of 120.000 m3.
At night the berthing line, the breasting and mooring dolphins, and the loading platform will be
clearly lit.
ID: PR-0156

6.2.5 Mooring
Once initial contacts are made with the jetty fenders, mooring launches and crews will pass the
mooring lines from the LNGC to the various quick release hooks (QRH’s) on mooring and breast-
ing dolphins. The jetty walkway arrangement between breasting and mooring dolphins also al-
lows handling of mooring lines without the need to use mooring launches.
All QRH’s mounted on dolphins are of 1000 kN Safe Working Load (well over anticipated future
vessel winch Brake Holding Power levels). On the extreme corners of the unloading platform
twin SWL 750 kN QRH’s are mounted to accommodate the spring lines of small LNGC. On the
breasting dolphins twin hooks are mounted, whilst on mooring dolphins triple QRH’s are mount-
ed.
The Mooring arrangement follows recommendations from OCIMF, deploying breast-lines and
spring-lines. The overall jetty layout with conceptual mooring plans is attached in Annex L. All
mooring lines must be equipped with appropriate tails (typically at least 11 m in length) to al-
low a proper behavior of the mooring system under wave and wind induced dynamics. All moor-
ing lines should be pre-tensioned with at least some 100 kN load, to ensure that resulting vessel
movements will stay modest whilst alongside. Mooring line loads are measured on the jetty, and
relayed back to the carrier on request.
Under normal conditions lines will be released locally at the QRH’s on the various dolphins. Up-
on exceptional request from the Carrier the QRH’s can also individually be released remotely
from the jetty monitoring building (but this will be subject to strict operating instructions by
radio on channel 12, to avoid accidental activation).
6.2.6 Gangway
The jetty is equipped with a main gangway mounted on the NE corner of the loading platform.
The gangway is column-mounted aluminium, telescopic unit with self-levelling steps. Outline
details are provided in Annex J.
The gangway landing point onboard of the LNGC will typically be between 13 and 30 meters aft
of the mid-ships manifold (vapour line). The gangway uses a triangular bul wark support with
small stairway to bridge the LNGC handrail.
For small LNGC with a freeboard of less than 7m, a lightweight simple non-telescopic gangway
is also stored on the jetty deck.
6.2.7 Unloading arms
The jetty is equipped with 4 unloading arms, with a diameter of 16”. The arrangement (from
bow to stern) is L - V – L - L.
The arms can handle manifold elevations between 12.210 m and 30.170 m over Chart Datum
(which after allowing for wave induced heave & roll, list, and tidal movements corresponds to a
manifold elevation over still water between 13 and 26 m).
The arms have a special hydraulic clamp system for 16” diameter flange which require LNGC
flat face with smooth finish flanges, (see Annex M) and all arms are equipped with a “dry-
ID: PR-0156

break” emergency release system (PERC) that will automatically disconnect (ESD 2 - Emergency
Shutdown) when the arm is approaching an over-extension. Annex I presents further outline of
the unloading platform arrangement and the unloading arms mounted on the upper deck at ele-
vation 16.6 m + ZH.The unloading arms are designed to allow extreme surge motions of the ves-
sel of + or -3m and sway motions of 4.5 m.
The unloading arm configuration is based on connecting to ship manifolds that comply with
OCIMF guidelines. Other types of manifold flanges require a reducer from flanges dimension to
“ANSI 150 DIA 16” – flat face with smooth finish” (vessel supplied).
As long as the unloading arms are connected to the LNGC manifold, the vessel will disable its
main engine (standby status to departure in case of emergency) to exclude the risk of generat-
ing accidental propulsion that would affect the stability of the mooring system.
6.2.8 Jetty crane
The jetty is equipped with a small crane to transfer goods and supplies (see Annex J). But the
use of this crane is only for limited purposes. In normal situations transferring shall be done by
barge with LNGC’s crane.
The crane is located on the NE corner of the jetty, and has a capacity of 30 kN at 15 m, imply-
ing loads can be put on the tanker deck some 15m aft of the mid-ships manifold. The operations
of supplying the ships (boards, surpluses, provisions and so on) are dependent on the authoriza-
tion of APS and Terminal.
In its 48 hours pre-arrival information the vessel will have to require the Terminal if it intends
to ask for the use of the crane, as a dedicated operator may have to be mobilized and safety /
security measures shall be implemented for this.
Transfer of goods / supplies can only take place after the full rate until the completion of cargo
transfer at the stern, nevertheless they cannot cause any delay on normal unloading operation.
6.2.9 Ship – Shore link
Once the LNGC is safely moored and the gangway placed, a cable connection shall be made to
the shore using a multi-wire electric cable and Pyle multi-pin connector to North Atlantic
standard (Pyle national 1*37pin - male - AF-D1016-621PV-16B-COMPATIBLE EX PLUGS).
The pin arrangement, to be configured on board prior to ship arrival is given in the Annex P.
This connection is used to relay essential ESD information, to exchange data between ship and
shore and to allow hotline.
As a back-up to the electric cable ESD signals can also be transferred via a pneumatic hose con-
nection (PLUG; SNAP-TITE:SVHN8-8F 1/2"; NITTO KOHKI 400P 1/2" SOCKET; SNAP-TITE:SVHC8-8F
1/2"; NITTO KOHKI 400S 1/2"; Cable;50m). The VHF radio link merely acts as a back-up commu-
nication tool once the LNGC is alongside the jetty.

6.2.10 Provision of utilities and bunkering
The LNG jetty facilities can provide on special request to REN Atlântico, liquid nitrogen (sup-
plied via road tankers), potable water (also supplied via road tankers), and firewater (generally
of industrial water quality).
No other utilities are available from the shore. Bunkering facilities are not installed on the LNG
jetty, and if bunkering is required, that operation shall be provided, via an agent, using a bun-
ker barge at anchorage area, outside from port facilities. The LNG jetty also does not have any
de-ballasting facilities.
Ship-shore connections for utilities from GA:

Liquid nitrogen Supplied via truck and piggy back line along vapour return unloading arm
with 3” diam. flanged connection, or 2” with reducer
Water Is available on jetty facility 2” coupler connection at NE side of loading plat-
form via short piping, to be supplied from road tanker.
For the bacteriologic contamination prevention, the potable water shall be
supplied via dedicate hoses provided by road tanker.
Firewater Via 2.5” IMCO connection (supplying industrial water) located at NE side of
loading platform via terminal fire fighting network.
6.2.11 Electrical bonding
The electrical earth cable should not be connected with the ship if the unloading arms of LNG
receiving terminal are mounted with insulating flanges (SIGTTO).
6.2.12 Safety systems
The jetty is provided with an extensive set of cold spill and flammable gas and fire detectors
that will alert the operator of abnormal situations leading to an automatic ESD 1 (stop cargo
transfer) if multiple alarms are triggered.
The unloading arms are protected by a motion detector. If a real threat of overextension aris-
es, the safety systems will trigger ESD 1, followed by ESD 2 (dry break of the arms by closing of
double valves and releasing a clamped connection).
Mooring line loads are monitored on a continuous basis, and if threshold limits are reached, an
alarm is generated in the Terminal control room, which is relayed back (verbally) to the LNGC
deck operator. Alarm levels are normally set at 500 kN per hook, but they can be adjusted to
meet specific LNGC mooring equipment capacities.
The approach velocity meter system remains on stand-by when a vessel is alongside the LNG
jetty, and it triggers an alarm to the Terminal control room when an unacceptable drift-off is
detected.
ID: PR-0156

Actual activation of the shore based fire-fighting system will follow after an operator interface.
Annex Q presents an overview of the layout of the fixed installed fire-fighting means on the jet-
ty deck.
The design is based on the principle that fuel supply to the fire is interrupted by isolation
valves, whilst the affected area is cooled by water to prevent escalation of the event. On the
NE corner of the jetty an elevated (and remote controlled) monitor is placed that can cover the
LNGC manifold area if such request is made by the LNGC crew.
When an LNGC is alongside the jetty the Terminal always has at least one jetty operator in at-
tendance (Jetty Officer), who shall be either on the jetty deck, or in the adjacent jetty moni-
toring room (placed at some 40 m from the loading platform at an elevated position.
All controls in the Terminal are centralized in the onshore main control room.
Apart from automatic initiation of ESD 1 and 2, there is the following set of manual activation
options:
ESD 1 LNGC unloading room; jetty platform & Monitoring room; central control room
ESD 2 Central GA control room (LNGC will have to ask via telephone or radio)
6.2.13 Departure
Departures from the Port is relatively easy as the manoeuvring entails creating a sideway clear-
ance to the berthing line (after controlled release of mooring lines), followed by short straight
section and turn to port to face open seas.
Depending on the weather conditions at least two tugs shall be in attendance to the departing
manoeuvre. A third tug, or pilot boat shall act as a vessel escort, whilst again the VTS ensures a
proper clearance to other vessels in port.
7 LNG Jetty Oerational aspects

An LNGC destined to the REN Atlântico terminal in Sines needs to demonstrate that it complies
with prevailing standards of the LNG shipping industry, more specifically The Society of Interna-
tional Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO).
7.1 Pre-arrival Data
Particular attention is needed before the first arrival of a new LNGC to Sines to establish the
general LNGC parameters and physical compatibility with the Sines LNG Terminal (e.g. length,
draft, beam, position manifold, capacity, and arrival displacement). For LNG jetty constraints,
refer to Annex O.
The ship acceptance by the Terminal requires a formal approval of REN Atlântico and an ap-
proval certificate will be issued.
The general shipping plan is agreed annually between the Toller(s) and LNG suppliers. Subse-
quent schedule updates are communicated by Toller(s) to REN Atlântico and APS for infor-
mation.
ID: PR-0156

7.1.1 Ship details info
Detailed info is required on particular ship-side details according to the list of documents on
Annex N to be provided by the Toller to REN Atlântico.
7.1.1.1 General arrangement
A ship general drawing shall be included on the approval process as well as a support document.
7.1.1.2 Deck mounted mooring equipment
A Deck plan, showing the location of the equipment, number and capacity of mooring lines,
winches and typical winch brake holding power.
Before the arrival of a new LNGC a conceptual mooring plan with limiting computed wind con-
ditions for LNG Jetty is provided, including parameters of the penetration of swell wave energy
into the Sines Port: All mooring lines are assumed to be winch mounted and the LNGC is to tend
to the lines, and it is not allowed to put all winches on “self-tensioning” mode.
7.1.1.3 Communications standards
Details of connectors, to allow electric or otherwise data links to the shore shall be provided.
The ship system shall be compatible with shore side according to Annex P. The ship shall con-
figure the pin arrangement on board to comply with shore Pyle national pin configuration.
7.1.1.4 Manifold
Detailed arrangement of manifold (e.g. plan and elevation, flange details, design loads - from
unloading Arms, valve closing times) to allow the LNG Terminal to verify compatibility with jet-
ty based unloading arms according Annex I.
7.1.1.5 Gangway
Info should extend to the direct surrounding deck area to verify the landing point for gangway.
7.1.1.6 Pumps
Number and capacity of cargo transfer pumps, with rated discharge pressures at different flow-
rates at tanker manifold, in order to verify the typical unloading schedule.
7.1.1.7 Vapour return
Any particular constraints for vapour return (min and maximum temperatures and pressures)
and compressors characteristics and operating parameters.
7.2 Cargo operations
7.2.1 Pre-discharge meeting
A meeting is held onboard and attended by a Terminal representative and a Ship representative
with the purpose of exchanging actual status info of LNGC and LNG Terminal according to
standard practices and also verifying and agreeing on all operational parameters.
ID: PR-0156

7.2.2 Safety Check-list
The safety Check main purpose is to exchange actual status info of LNGC and LNG Terminal,
and also verify the standard Ship Shore Safety Checklist (International Safety Guide for Oil
Tankers and terminals (ISGOTT)).
The Ship Shore Safety Checklist shall be completed jointly by the Responsible Ship’s Officer and
the Terminal Supervisor and a Port Authority safety Officer, and signed prior to the start of any
cargo operations. Follow-up safety checks shall be conducted at agreed intervals throughout
the unloading period and the checklist signed accordingly as attached in (ou “,a sample is at-
tached in”) Annex S.
7.2.3 Custody Transfer
Before the unloading arms are connected a REN Atlântico Officer Cargo shall board the Carrier
accompanied by a Toller representative for custody transfer.
The contents of the LNG that are transferred are based for custody transfer on LNGC tanks
gauging. To verify the composition of LNG during unloading, an on-line analyser is installed at
the jetty head. This is mainly done to ensure LNG is introduced in the onshore storage tanks in
a controlled way.
7.2.4 Cargo transfer
It is recommended that the Ship arrives at the Terminal with a maximum cargo tanks pressure
of 120 mbar. Any deviation of this parameter should be notified to the Terminal.
It is not allowed to vent cargo tanks to the atmosphere in normal conditions. In an emergency
case that requires venting gas to the atmosphere, the ship must notify the Terminal about the
occurrence and the cargo unloading operations must stop.
From the moment of cargo initial gauging until the gauging at the end of unloading, gas burning
in the Ship’s boilers is not allowed unless if agreed with the Terminal.
In case of necessity to burn gas, the burnt gas shall be measured and accounted for in accord-
ance with the Custody Transfer agreement.
7.2.5 Ship’s Manifold
The Ship’s manifold shall be ready for connection prior to the completion of berthing.
The LNG Ship must have in-line strainers with an ASTM 60 Mesh (nominal aperture of 0.25mm)
for each liquid line unless otherwise agreed by the Terminal.
7.2.5.1 Unloading Arms Connection
The maneuvering of the unloading arms, and the connection to the LNGC manifold, are done by
Terminal operators, assisted by a ship representative. The gaskets to the connection of the un-
loading arms are supplied by the Terminal.
ID: PR-0156

7.2.5.2 Unloading Arms Cooldown
The ship must provide LNG to cool-down the unloading arms at approximately 2,0 bar and low
flow rate. A Terminal representative shall be aboard to monitor this operation and request the
Ship to change conditions whenever necessary. The cool-down of the unloading arms takes ap-
proximately 60-90 minutes.
The Ship is responsible to cool-down its lines in a way that does not represent any delay in the
unloading operations.
7.2.5.3 Start Discharge
The Ship’s manifold water curtain shall start and remain running continuously, before the start
of the unloading operations until after the final arm has been confirmed disconnected
A Terminal representative shall remain aboard the Ship during the start of the discharge until
the end of the rate-up.
The cargo pumps shall only be started after the Terminal has verified its conditions to manage
the increased unloading rate.
Status of unloading shall be verified in direct contacts between the LNGC pump control room,
and the onshore LNG Terminal control room.
Maximum LNG transfer rates are set at 9.000 m3/hr if the LNGC delivers approximately 4,5 barg
at the manifold connection. If a specific LNGC has a higher discharge pressure available, dis-
charge rates are allowed to increase up to a maximum of 10.000 m3/hr. Higher discharge rates
are not acceptable in order to limit surge pressures in sudden interruptions of pump-out (under
ESD 1 & 2 conditions).
In case of necessity to heel out, the ship should notify the terminal in advance about this re-
quirement, detailing the involved volume and the additional time required to perform the ac-
tivity. This request is subject to approval of the Terminal.
7.2.5.4 Vapour Return
The Terminal sends the return gas to the ship, preferably in free flowing by pressure differen-
tial between the terminal tanks and ship tanks, but in case it is not sufficient the Terminal can
start the return gas blower to increase the capacity to send gas back to the ship. Between car-
goes, the vapour return line is allowed to warm to ambient conditions, and as a result initial
vapour returned is warm.
The LNGC predetermines a schedule of desired vapour return quantities and pressures (at the
LNGC manifold) required 30 minutes in advance, and shall liaise during unloading with the Ter-
minal Control Room.
7.2.5.5 Finish Discharge
The Ship shall notify the Terminal one hour prior to commencing cargo unloading rate-down.
ID: PR-0156

At the end of unloading the outboard part of the arms shall be drained from the apex towards
the LNGC, whilst the inboard arm is drained back into the unloading lines.
Typical Process Flow diagrams for unloading and vapour return are included in Annex R.
The disconnection of the arms is the responsibility of the Terminal, although if necessary the
assistance of Ship’s staff can be requested. The Ship shall ensure that its lines and valves allow
for a safe disconnection.
After disconnecting the liquid arms, the vapour arm shall be disconnected immediately. The
vapour arm should only remain connected in case the Ship needs to remain alongside the jetty,
to load stores/bunker and if the Ship tank’s pressure is above the Terminal tank’s pressure.
7.2.5.6 Special Conditions
In case of communication failure between the Terminal and the Ship, the unloading operations
shall be stopped until the problems are solved
If for any reason the safety conditions are affected in one of the parts involved, the occurrence
must be immediately communicated to the other part
The Terminal reserves the right to delay or stop the cargo unloading operations due to opera-
tional requirements in the Terminal.
The Terminal and the Ship shall monitor the weather conditions before and during the unload-
ing operations. If it is foreseeable that the weather conditions may affect a safe unloading op-
eration, the Terminal reserves the right to stop or delay the referred operations, even before
reaching the defined limits.
In case of interruption of the discharge due to extreme weather conditions, a meeting shall be
held aboard between both parts, to evaluate the situation and decide the actions to take.
If the movement of the Ship endangers the gangway structure, it will be removed.
7.2.6 After-discharge meeting
A meeting shall be held on board at the end of the cargo operations, attended by a Terminal
representative, a Ship representative and a Toller representative for custody transfer with the
purpose of exchanging the final status info of LNGC and LNG Terminal cargo finishing aspects
according to standard practices.
7.3 Safety
7.3.1 General safety requirements
It is absolutely forbidden to:

Smoke anywhere in the terminal, and bear matches, lighters, tobacco or any other
source of ignition.

ship and the Terminal (hereinafter “Emergency”), both parties shall cooperate and take imme-
diate measures as necessary to minimize damage.
At the outbreak of an emergency, the Ship and the Terminal must immediately stop unloading
by activating ESD system (if not automatically triggered).
In case of an emergency on the Ship, the ship shall react accordingly and the Terminal shall as-
sist the ship as requested by the ship’s Master.
In case of an emergency on the Terminal, the Terminal shall react accordingly and the Ship’s
Master is responsible for all activities upon the ship.
7.3.2.1 Communications
Communications between the Ship; the Terminal and APS in case of an Emergency shall be
made by a Hotline (Terminal and ship) or VHF CH16 (Terminal and APS). Details of an emergen-
cy shall be communicated as soon as possible between Parties (see Annex A – General contacts).
7.3.2.2 In case of fire
Terminal side:
If appropriate water and spray on the berth shall be activated to cool and protect
shore side instruments and pipe.
Water shall be activated to protect from the fire, but water should never applied to a
burning LNG pool
If appropriate, the foam generation system shall be activated
If appropriate, assistance may be given to the ship in fighting fire.
Preparation for un-berthing shall be made if deemed appropriate.
Ship side:
The spray system shall be activated.
The ship’s staff will fight the fire, assisted by the firefighting guard boat under in-
struction of ship’s master.
If necessary, the ship/shore firewater connection shall be used.
Preparation for unberthing shall be made.
If necessary, additional firefighting boats shall be arranged.
If necessary, the vessel will vacate the berth.
ID: PR-0156

7.3.2.3 In case of LNG Spillage / Leak
Terminal side:
All sources of ignition are isolated
Water or spray shall be applied as necessary to enforce evaporation and to disperse
the gas cloud from ignition source.
If appropriate, the foam generation system shall be activated (applicable for LNG
leakage)
Ship side:
Confirm that all doors, hatches, etc., leading to the upper deck from accommodation
area, engine room, control room are shut. If necessary by location and scale of leak-
age, ventilators and fans shall be stopped.
Water or spray shall be applied as necessary to enforce evaporation and to direct or
disperse from ignition sources.
7.3.2.4 Cargo transfer interruption
Both the Terminal and the LNGC can ask for adjustments or interruptions in cargo transfer. This
can be done for various reasons, such as:
Approaching maximum storage tank levels
Approaching minimum liquid levels in LNGC tanks
Vapor pressure limitations
Undesired LNGC movements
Approaches of extreme weather
Approaching (berthing) coal bulk carrier on opposite site in the Port basin (where
temporarily tugs may enter the safety exclusion zone around the unloading arms)
Detection of abnormal situations by Process Control System
Detection of alarms by the Safety Control System
Other incidents in the Port
7.4 Environment
7.4.1 General
The Sines LNG Terminal is situated in a port community which is environmental unspoiled and
pollution of any description, from whatever source, will be viewed extremely seriously and re-
ported immediately to the appropriate government authority. This is a statutory requirement of
the Portuguese Government represented by Port Authority of Sines (APS).
All vessels when alongside the Sines LNG jetty shall be in full compliance whit the current MAR-
POL requirements and Port Authority Regulations (www.portodesines.pt).
7.4.2 Pollution prevention
This is not an exhaustive list of prevention actions to assist in avoiding pollution, but the most
evident situation of port measures:
ID: PR-0156

No oil or mixture containing oil shall be discharged or allowed to escape from a vessel
while at the Terminal or in the approaches to the Terminal.
No garbage or other materials, either liquid or solid, shall be discharged overboard
from a vessel, but shall be retained in suitable receptacles on board.
Whilst within the Terminal limits, the internal transfer of any oil, slops or bunkers on
board is prohibited.
In the event of any leakage or spillage of oil or oil contaminated liquids on board, the
Ship Supervisor and Health, Safety and Environment supervisor must be advised im-
mediately in order to stop unloading operations until the spell has been cleaned up.
Absorbents, swabs or sawdust used for mopping up such spills shall be collected and
removed ashore for disposal.
During unloading operations (ou “the unloading operation”) deck scuppers and drain
holes must be suitably plugged and shall be closed, however a careful watch should be
maintained to ensure that any build-up of water or other substance on deck is drained
off.
Prior to commence and at regular intervals throughout unloading, (não é preciso repe-
tir) checks are to be made to ensure the above condition.
Unused cargo and bunker connections must be closed and blanked. Blank flanges shall
be fully bolted whit a gasket in place and other types of fittings, if used, must be
properly secured.
The Portuguese Government is following the air pollution policy strictly to ensure the
gaseous emission is kept to the absolute minimum.
7.4.3 Waste management
There are no disposal facilities available at Sines LNG Terminal. The environmental legislation
requires the producer of waste material, including hazardous wastes and oil from pollution inci-
dents, to provide for the storage of such material.
The daily produced inoffensive waste could be delivered in proper receptacles located near the
jetty bridge, provided by Port authority, and the ship’s agent shall register by SICP system the
amount and waste typology. Those receptacles are located a few minutes before ship arrival
and removed after that immediately. Any deviation is under caution or denied of waste shore
transfer.
8 Registration
The upkeep of this Guide rests with the Terminal in Sines. The Guide forms part of the Con-
trolled set of Documents as managed within the Terminal Quality System.
