1. APPLICATION
This Procedure is intended as minimum requirements for protecting all Materials by applying the
packing with inside fastening and/or water/moisture proofing application. If these requirements are
incomplete, the best packing particle shall be proposed in order to ensure that all Materials arrive at
the destination in undamaged conditions or safe delivered condition.

This Procedure is integration to Purchaser’s specification and is to be used as guideline for the
packing, protection and marking activities.

Applicable Project Specification :

- LPG4-PGP-004(Rev.A) : “Packing and Marking Specification”
- DEP 31.22.20.31 : “Pressure Vessels”

2. PACKAGE SPECIFICATIONS
2.1. PREPARATION OF MATERIALS BEFORE PACKING
All Materials shall be dry, clean, and free from all defects prior to packing. Protection against
environment corrosion caused by extremes of humidity, condensation, rain, sand, salted air, and sea
spray shall be provided. In general, Rust prevention procedures adopted shall be in accordance with
requirements given in the technical specifications attached to the Purchase Order.
The following requirements shall be considered as minimum essential protective measures for
Materials;
2.1.1 All carbon steel machined surfaces (including flange faces), threads, and weld preps shall
be coated with a heavy greased.

2.1.2 All flanges shall be covered with 6mm steel plates (with at least four bolts) with mastic
sealer or rubber gasket between the flange and the cover. (See Surface preparation and
Painting procedure; Doc No. VP-12-210-001-ALL-P-017)

2.1.3 Spare part and loose part shall be wrapped in fully watertight barrier material adequate to
prevent external moisture from contacting the contents and enclosed in wood containers
adequate to prevent physical damage during shipment.

2.1.4 Small component parts like washer, shim plate, sliding plate, setting bolt, bearing plate,
etc. shall be shipped separately

2.1.5 Pressure vessels that are transported over the ocean shall be purged with an inert gas
such as Nitrogen at a pressure of not less than 35kpa (5 psi). The Principal shall specify if
a purge is required for over-land transport.
Please refer to APPENDIX 5. Nitrogen purge procedure.

2.2. PACKAGE WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS

2.2.1 Minimum Weight and Volume
Export for dangerous or hazardous items, wherever possible, each consignment should
be made into packages not less than 200kg in weight or not less than 0.5cubic meters in
volume so that theft and loss during transportation may be eliminated. If any packages do
not come within these limits, the Vendor shall immediately inform owner (client)’s liaison
office.

2.2.2 Maximum Weight and Dimensions

The maximum weight and dimensions of each package shall be limited as follows:
1) Weight : up to 20 tons
2) Length : up to 10 meters
3) Width : up to 2.3 meters
4) Height : up to 2.3 meters

2.2.3 Heavy or Oversized Cargo

When individual package dimensions or gross weights exceed the maximum limitations
(para. 2.2.2) due to the nature of Materials, the Vendor shall submit to owner’s liaison
office forty five (45) days prior to the commencement of shipment, packing sketches in
four (4) copies, clearly indication net and gross weight, length, width and height, center of
gravity, positions of skids and their sizes, lifting lugs or traverses, etc., together with any
recommendations for special handling. Packing sketches shall be approved by carrier

2.3. APPLICABLE PACKING STYLE

The Vendor shall suitably pack all Materials based on appendix 1. Packing Style Criteria. If the
Vendor’s packing deviates from the criterion, the vendor shall obtain prior approval from owner’s
liaison office.

2.4. SEAWORTHY PACKING

The Vendor shall make every effort to ensure that all packages or Materials are as compact and
durable as possible.
All packages shall be properly and solidly made to withstand all mechanical and chemical damage that
may be reasonably expected during ocean and land transportation and transportation loads.

All packages design and construction shall also take into account the following eventualities:

be borne by or backhanded to the Vendor

3. SKID MOUNTED CONSTRUCTION

This Procedure is intended as minimum requirements for protecting all Materials by applying the
packing with inside fastening and/or water/moisture proofing application. If these requirements are
incomplete, the best packing particle shall be proposed in order to ensure that all Materials arrive at
the designated place.

Vessel, may be shipped bare, mounted on skids fixed in position with steel wire ropes or flat steel bars
as shown in appendix 3.
The following requirements shall be considered for skid-mounted construction;

1) The size and position of the skids are subject to the minimum requirements given in appendix 3 and
should be sufficient to ensure safe handling during long distance transportation. Steel wire ropes shall
be appropriately tensioned, taking into account possible slack caused by wood shrinkage.

2) The maximum distance between skids shall be 8 meters.

3) The dimensions of the skids shall be determined as shown in Table 1.

Table 1. SKID DIMENSIONS (WOOD)

Net Weight of Package (Tons) Skid Widths (mm)
Under 10 120
10 to under 30 180
30 to under 50 300
50 to under 80 450
80 and over 600

NITROGEN PURGE PROCEDURE

1. Cleaning the Vessel inside

Those of the vessel shall be completely and thoroughly cleaned from all loose scales, weld slags,
chips, debris and other foreign matters prior to N2 purging.

2. Sealing the opening of vessel

The opening of nozzles or flanges shall be sealed or welded with min.6mm thickness of steel plate
or stainless plate with the gasket, and it will be fastened with at least four bolt & nuts.

3. Preparation for N2 purge

One set of the pressure gauge will be installed, one is to be installed vessel top side and the other is
to be installed bottom-side, N2 pressure gauge may be prepared as followed sketch.

4. Nitrogen purging and charging

The vessel inside shall be purged N2 gas until to raised above 35kpa (5psi), this pressure shall be
checked two gauges, located top and bottom of the equipment, and then leakage check shall be
performed by soap-bubble spray test for each flanges.
