CLIENT CARGO ID : MP230504 TO INDICATE ON ALL DOCS

Nomination: BL APPROX 82,907 BBLS WITH NIL ROB (ENTIRE QUANTITY)

DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: Discharge to Comm once ship/shore ready after pre-discharge sampling/ullaging.

Nominated Ship Tank : 1W – 6W & SLOP P PLEASE CONFIRM ONCE ONBOARD.

PLEASE ENSURE VESSEL IS ON EVEN KEEL FOR ULLAGING, INFORM VESSEL TO CORRECT HER TRIM IF NOT EVEN KEEL

Please also ensure we check vessel equipment temperature using pail of fresh ambient temperature water. (Must be
within 0.2 degC) Refer below instruction.

MUST CHECK VESSEL TANKS FOR FREE WATER USING BOTH UTI AND WATER PASTE. IF FREE WATER FOUND PLEASE
CALL ME ASAP. WE WILL NEED TO ISSUE LOP FOR FREE WATER AND SIGNED BY VESSEL BEFORE START DISCHARGE.

Please ensure we do shore tank line packing before and after discharge to confirm tank to header line. To prepare report
for line packing done and also time sheet to be signed by terminal.

Please also seal all shore outlet valve and cross overs on our designated shore line system, to issue sealing report for it.
Terminal recommendation below.

Terminal Requirement:
- Surveyor to seal the valves that are not involved in the load operations at shore side before start of operation.
- Once valve is sealed, surveyor to issue statement of fact.
- After completion of the operation, surveyor is required to break the seal.
- Sealing report to be done

Also to collect all SOF LOPs issued by terminal and vessel, to check and advise if any discrepancy between all 3 parties
reports regarding timings, Quantity discrepancy LOPs (Surveyor, terminal, vessel) To capture the gaps in the statement
of fact or issue LOP by Loading Master immediately and inform office.

RECEIVING PLAN (DO SOF FOR RECEIVING TANKS TO BE SIGNED BY TERMINAL – WITH QUALITY CONTROL REMARK)

•TK 3001: TO DISCHARGE AND RECEIVE ENTIRE NOMINATED QUANTITY AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE, APPROX 82,907 BBLS

Quality control, this cargo, is OXYGENATES and MTBE SENSITIVE and is ultra sensitive to other product contamination
meaning strictly not to commingle with any high oxygenates or MTBE cargo as will contaminate it. So please ensure
terminal aware of this on preparation of system line up, pigging, etc. Kindly check what was last cargo in the Shore line
before discharge for our reference.

MUST INCLUDE THIS STATEMENT ON YOUR SOF TO TERMINAL: “ Kindly note cargo is Oxy/MTBE sensitive -ensure no
interface with any Oxy / MTBE cargoes.

Quality control: Will need your help to ensure we take proper and enough line samples so that we can do proper tracing
if any quality dispute, Ie: take line packing sample before and after discharge, take initial shoreline sample, also initial
manifold samples. If multiple shore tank receiving than 1 gallon through out to be taken separately to represent for
EACH receiving shore tank.
BEFORE DISCHARGE TANK SIDE LINE VERIFICATION

• We have discussed with Terminal Shipping to allow us to witness the packing of shore tank Inlet/outlet line to
Header before discharge commences, then gauge the shore tank after line packing This is to be witnessed
together with terminal technician. Kindly check with terminal CCR early so if no instruction for this, we can
follow up with terminal shipping to re-instruct terminal.
• Procedure as follows:
1) Check with Terminal if they have received instructions for us to witness the line packing. Means terminal must
wait for us to be at pump side before they pack the header. (If no instruction, please inform us early as if after
midnight, shipping already sleep and might be hard to get clearance)
2) Once terminal give green light to witness, please inform in group as well with time that this will be done. Then
standby and witness the line packing together with the terminal technician. Make sure terminal technician is
there. Once line packed to check the tank side valve and suction side valve, open valve to check if pressure
released or liquid flow. If no liquid flow after bleed valve open means line not packed properly and ensure
terminal request this and ask them pack proper. If liquid flow means line packed.
3) Once above verified that inlet/outlet line has been packed, then please regauge the shore tank, should be within
max 3mm cargo level difference vs before line pack shore tank cargo level. If variance differs more than 3mm,
please request for 2nd line packing to be done and regauge the shore tank to verify tank fill.
4) When gauging shore tank please check 3 level temperature using our thermoprobe. (Ensure calibration of our
thermoprobe is not expired).
5) All physical cargo level and temperatures must be recorded on raw data booklet and photo of it sent on
whatsapp group.
6) After discharge, shore tank to be physical gauged again
7) All quantities and findings to be recorded.

SHORE SIDE CHECKS:


Please confirm if receiving shore tank is empty or with cargo prior discharge (If with cargo, please take 1 Gln Running +
UMLR x 1Ltr each level before receiving), if empty than please do tank inspection prior to ensure empty. Tank inspection
if manhole opening visual is not possible (Please confirm) than please check by center and side hatch. – Let me know
what method used to verify emptiness. Whether sampling or tank inspection, please perform this early so we do not
have any delay to vessel discharge awaiting us to check shore tank prior.

Please also check sounding shore tank ORH (Reference height) before and after discharge and record this information.

Please make sure you physical sounding the shore tank before/after where applicable with cargo. MUST physical
sounding for level and temperature. (Bring our own calibrated equipment) this for our own reference incase any
quantity discrepancy we have this data in hand to discuss with terminal. – MAKE sure this is done, if any issue or
terminal do not allow please call me ASAP. FYI physical sounding is for reference only.

Line displacement MUST be done, start and stop. If discrepancy ship n shore is high please do a 2nd line displacement
using same ship tank n shore tank (No need physical gauge shore tank after line displacement unless quantity
discrepancy is high). Kindly call early if this cannot be done or if any issues on this, please inform terminal on line
displacement requirement BEFORE vessel alongside so we have time to react if any issues.

Please also check on line status proper, if shore tank have cargo please check shore line status, tank to header and
header to Jetty if packed or empty. Shore tank report also please verify on line quantity that is added. Take photo of
Nominated shore tank calibration data (Everything, critical zone, roof weight, pages that are relevant), this can be
obtained at TCR when verifying calculations. Please confirm clearly with terminal if cargo will be N2 pigged to shore tank
after discharge ?

Please ensure we do shore tank line packing before and after discharge to confirm tank to header line. To prepare report
for line packing done and also time sheet to be signed by terminal.
Please also seal all shore outlet valve and cross overs on our designated shore line system, to issue sealing report for it.
Terminal recommendation below.

SHIP SIDE CHECKS:

1) Please double confirm with vessel on nominated shiptanks (Ampol Parcel for Langsat discharge) once onboard
and if different from above please call me ASAP before start discharge. As there are segregated parcel of other
interest onboard as well.

2) Please check with vessel for a copy of the loadport BL, double check if the BL figure is the same as Vessel loaded
figure at loadport. If it is the same figure, than please check with vessel how they loaded at loadport, if BL figure
was based on ship figure ? Also check why based on ship figure, was shore side tank active tank ?

3) Your documentation and quantity measurement is very important so please ensure to bring our gauging tape
and thermoprobe onboard. (Ensure valid calibration within 1 year).

- Verify vessel UTI using our thermo probe and record findings on SOF. CANNOT be more than 0.2 degC
difference between equipment – This to check using a pail of ROOM temperature water (NOT hot or cold
water, must be room temperature), just immerse both vessel equipment and our equipment in
consecutively to check each equipment temperature. (Check using pail of water as if closed system than we
will not be able to check on the ship tank using our equipment). - (SOF MUST be done)

- Also please bring our own water paste as well, than please TEST the water paste first before using it. Then
tanks to be checked both UTI and water paste and your ullage report please indicate what was used for free
water check (Ie: UTI & Water paste). If happens any free water is found than please ensure to CALL me to
discuss your findings first before finalising anything with vessel. Will need to do multi point soundings, and
verification on the interface before we decide anything. – TAKE NOTE

- For vessel tanks - Ensure to do, 3 levels temperature and check reference height, compare ORH and MRH
record on SOF. Do NOT make up, because if make up than any quantity discrepancy there is no way to
properly investigate. Observed reference height please ensure sound each ship tank both before and after
discharge. (SOF MUST be done)

- Please ensure we PHYSICAL ullage the non-nominated ship tanks before and after discharge. MUST do actual
do NOT make up and do NOT based your ullage on radar figure, please ensure we sounding all tanks as after
this voyage vessel is going to Singapore to discharge so we must ensure our figures all done correctly to
avoid a different arrival figure at Singapore which will be a big issue. (Ullage report MUST be done for non-
nominated ship’s tanks before and after discharge – Indicate on remarks clearly, “Non-nominated tanks”)

- Before ullaging the Nominated and non-nominated tanks, please take photo of vessel panel / ATG, radar
display for record on figs and send photo on whatsapp. Also please prepare a separate ullage for REFERENCE
only basis the radar figs for nominated tanks – This Reference report not required to sign by vessel but
please get it done put remark “Based on radar / ATG for reference” and send a photo of it on whatsapp,
please ensure apply the necessary trim corrections. – This to compare with our physical ullaged figures if
any huge difference, please call immediately as will need to investigate further BEFORE start discharge

- For VEF please ensure collect copy of vessel data as well, than please make sure you check more details such
as, when was vessel last dry dock and was there any re-calibration or changes to lines, tanks, etc, (Collect
supporting data if any on the last dry dock). Also for each voyage, please check further data with vessel, such
as if vessel knows each voyage loaded into each ship tank or this data not recorded, Also to question vessel
each voyage that has been recorded on their data is STS or shore facility loading. Basically need to check
further data so we are aware on the validity of the VEF. ALSO check if vessel has Compartmental VEF record
onboard or if any Discharge VEF data onboard. Although unlikely but these questions must be asked to
vessel and to obtain official reply from them as we are NOT to assume.

- Please check on vessel pipeline groupings and vessel pipeline quantity, if applicable. Check if vessel is using
framo pumps, deepwell type or what type of cargo pumps ? if framo pumps used, please confirmed if
common line used for discharge or not ? Photo copy the first few pages of the calibration table with vessel
stamp visible and also the pages on sounding point, corrections, and pipeline, if any. Collect and send photo
of ship particulars as well. – THIS must be done

- Before discharge key meeting, please also check and confirm with vessel if nominated tanks will be stripped
and how they will strip the ship tanks, any educting and any usage of non-nominated tanks for stripping,
etc..?

- Please check and record what is vessel nominated cargo tanks pressure during ullaging (Applicable before
discharge ullaging and after discharge ullaging if any ROB).

- Collect all consignee or receiver samples from the vessel (Master receipt per last page below)

- Very Important: Max discrepancy between BL and ship versus shore outturn is capped at 0.15%max. Please
try to manage the figures. (Important to manage Outturn versus BL figs) Also do NOT close the outturn until
greenlight.

- Before/After Discharge: For before/after discharge if any free water found do NOT start discharge yet, pls
issue LOP for free water and also we must take samples
- Ships tank UML and rock bottom sample or lowest sample possible. (Keep in clear container and send
photo)
- Slop tanks sample
- Ballast tank sample
- Sample from sea adjacent if possible. (Means sample of seawater)
- All above samples to be recorded on Sample report signed by Vessel.

- After Discharge: Take copy of vsl hourly discharge log. MUST have minimum below info every hour recorded
on SOF OR if vessel has done a report u may just collect vessels report.
- Manifold Pressure
- Hourly Pump Pressure (For Individual pump)
- Pump RPM
- Discharge so far and ROB
- Ship/Shore Agreed manifold pressure.

- LOP/NOAD pls issue


1) Arrival vs Loadport
2) Arrival vs BL (If Applicable)
3) Shore Received vs Discharge
4) Shore received vs BL (If Applicable)
Any documents NOT signed by vsl pls inform me by Call asap..We may not be able to accept as refuse to
sign, MUST call me first so we can try to do something and get neccessary clearance. Update immediately
if transit (Arrival vs Loadport exceed 0.10% or Arrival vs BL exceed 0.20% - May need to re-ullage first before
allow to start if high discrepancy. Also after discharge please update ASAP if provisional Outturn vs BL
exceeds 0.20%. (If high discrepancy we need get approval before vessel unberths)
IMPORTANT CLIENT REQUEST:
PLEASE CONFIRM IF OFFICIAL SOUNDING POINT IS AFT OR CENTER POINT. WE MUST CHECK BOTH FROM FWD, CENTER
AND AFT POINT FOR FREE WATER (OFFICIAL AND NON-OFFICIAL POINTS). ESPECIALLY AFT POINT, IF VESSEL DOES NOT
ALLOW THIS, PLEASE CALL AND INFORM ASAP AS WE WILL NEED TO INFORM CHARTERER TO ALLOW. (PLEASE ENSURE
WE RECORD ON SOF WHICH POINTS WE CHECKED FOR FREE WATER) – ENSURE SURVEYOR WATER PASTE IS USED FOR
FREE WATER CHECK.

ROB TANK INSPECTION:-

If need sign any vessel docs, MUST put below remark below your signature..As per IFIA. Pls follow WORD for WORD.
///////
Signed for receipt only. Signature does not imply approval of this document’s contents by Amspec Testing Services Pte
Ltd or its Principal. In the event that an Amspec Testing Services Pte Ltd document is issued regarding this subject
then the Amspec Testing Services Pte Ltd document will take precedence in case of a dispute
//////

1) Do NOT put word "Well stripped" or "Well Drained" or "Suitable" or anything like that on ur rob or after discharge
report, Only to put "Apparently well stripped"

2) Your ROB and/or after discharge report put remark additional below as follows:-
*This inspection does not include estimation of clingage on tank sides and settlements on horizontal structures, nor
any quantity that remain in vessel's lines where not practically accessible.*

3) Make sure before doing tank Inspection, u MUST open relevant valves and drain all lines to minimum tanks before
you ullage. To ensure lines cleared. Please witness this at ccr

4) If any ROB found we must do further investigation to check if liquid or non liquid. Whether have ROB or not pls do
NOT issue any ROB report yet, let me see first the report because ROB report sensitive. Do NOT sign any vsl report
regarding ROB until i give a clearance.

5) Do NOT declare ROB as non liquid or anything until investigation is properly done. In anycase, check with me first. And
find out what happen exactly, where the suction and tank configuration.

6) If have ROB must issue LOP for ROB not discharged. Same pls let me see picture first before u issue.
===================

SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS:

BEFORE DISCHARGE
A) Shoreside
- IF NO MOVEMENT SINCE OUR LAST SAMPLING FOR THE SHORE TANK THEN SHORE TANK BEFORE RECEIVING SAMPLE
NOT REQUIRED.

B) Vessel (Ship side)


- 1 Gln Flushing sample to flush the vessel sampler
- Each Ship Tank UML Composite x 1 Ltr each tank
- UML Composite x 500ml clear bottle. (Visual must be clear and bright and let me know – to seal these samples)
- 4 Gallon Nominated shiptanks composite

Send photo of each ship tank with haze card behind, confirm if sample clear and bright, check visual
Please make sure to do flushing of vessel sampler before sampling vessel tanks to avoid any contamination to the
samples. Please also do at least 1 Gallon flushing of the sampler first before starting out with actual sampling. Flushing
sample to be labelled as flushing sample and indicate which tank used for this flushing purpose.
TO SEND BEFORE DISCHARGE SHIP TANK SAMPLES TO LAB URGENTLY FOR TESTING – STANDBY DRIVER

All sealed samples to be recorded clearly on sampling report (Master receipt format) and MUST be signed by vessel.

Collect all load port receiver samples for Ampol (Langsat Receiver) from vessel

DURING DISCHARGE:
- 1 Gallon FLUSHING sample Shoreline (Label as shoreline flushing sample)
- 1 Gallon FLUSHING sample Ship Manifold (Label as shoreline flushing sample)
- 1 x 500ml Initial Shoreline (Please check sample appearance, send photo with Haze card / white background)
- 1 x 500ml Initial Manifold (Please check sample appearance, send photo with Haze card / white background)
- 3 x 1Ltr Initial Shoreline (To seal these samples, seal number record on report sign by vessel)
- 3 x 1Ltr Initial Manifold (To seal these samples, seal number record on report sign by vessel)
- 1 x Gln Initial Shoreline (NO need seal this sample, for testing)
- 1 x Gln Initial Manifold (NO need seal this sample, for testing)
- 2 Gallon Shore line thru out periodically taken (NO need seal this sample, for testing)
- 2 Gallon Ship Manifold thru out periodically taken (NO need seal this sample, for testing)
- 2 x 500ml clear bottle to take from under loading Arm during last 1hr of discharge during STRIPPING. (NO need seal)
- Ensure to flush the shoreline/manifold valve well before taking actual samples.
- Shore line samples ideally should be taken in coordination of manifold samples taken. Ie should be taken at the same
time if possible or if not than back to back for traceability purposes. If not taken in such a manner than the shore line
and manifold sample are not representative of each other and of no use during cases of dispute.

AFTER DISCHARGE
- After receiving please sample and 6 Gallon Running & TUMLB + 3 RVP Bottle running after receiving
- Use NEW bottle for sampling, do proper sampling to ensure no issues as line samples might be contaminated. Also
ensure to flush the sampler and roper properly before actual sampling

Cargo into shore tank is loaded on top, so please ensure to take proper samples. Running make sure lower all the way
down. Strictly do NOT just take from top part.

Also very important note: after discharge samples MAKE SURE you take samples from the shore tank and not from
line.. Because this cargo is very sensitive in quality and shore tank last cargo, line may affect actual quality. So please
make sure you take from shore tank. Representative samples are very important in Inspection work

COLLECT ALL RECEIVER LOADPORT SAMPLES FROM VESSEL AND CHECK THE SEAL NUMBERS AND SAMPLE DETAILS
WHEN YOU COLLECT BELOW LOADPORT SAMPLES FROM MASTER. LET ME KNOW ASAP IF THE CONTAINER IS
DAMAGED OR IF PLASTIC TORN, SEAL BROKEN, ETC

SEND ME PHOTO OF

1) LOADPORT MASTER RECEIPT


2) DOUBLE CHECK IF THE SEAL NUMBERS ON THE MASTER RECEIPT TALLIES WITH THE SAMPLES THAT HAVE
