FMC loading arms are manufactured under Chiksan license with hydraulically powered inboard arm, outboard arm and riser swivel. Arms LA 1401 / 1402 / 1403 / 1405 / 0402 RCMA: Rotating Counterweighted Marine Arm The RCMA includes: > Avertical riser base assembly supporting the arm; > An inboard arm. > An outboard arm. > Accounterweight and pantograph system balancing the arm in all positions. > Asset of hydraulic cylinders. This arm will be connected to the control system. Base riser assembly The riser base is a welded assembly, which supports the arm assembly. The height of the riser depends on the elevation of the dock and of the tanker manifold above the water level. The self-supporting base riser transfers the loads of the arm directly to the dock. The base riser has the following functions: > Transfers the product between the shore piping system and the arm assembly, > Locking down of the arm when in rest position. At the top of the riser, a swivel joint called "Style 50" supports the inboard arm and allows the arm to slew around a vertical axis and the inboard arm to rotate around a horizontal axis (swivel joints 1 & 2). (See fig 1 — 1: RCMA swivel joints). “FMC EnergySystems 1.4, 1.5. OMM RA 03 - 3544 - Section 1 Fig 1-1 : RCMA Swivel joint Outboard arm Page 2/7 1.3. Inboard arm The inboard arm is the pipe carrying the product between the riser and the outboard arm. The swivel joint connecting the outboard arm to the inboard arm is called “Style 40" (swivel joint 3). The inboard arm also includes a steel beam (balancing beam) supporting the additional counterweights and the balancing sheave with main counterweights. The locking of the inboard arm at rest position is achieved by locking the balancing beam to the base riser. The outboard arm is a pipe carrying the product between the inboard arm and the tanker manifold. One of its extremities is connected to the inboard arm through the “Style 40" swivel joint. The other end is fitted with a triple swivel joint assembly called “Style 80". Style 80 The swivel joint assembly called "Style 80" is composed of three rotations (swivels 4, 5 & 6), to connect the arm assembly to the tanker and to allow it to freely follow the tanker movements. 1.6.

The height of the riser depends of the elevation of the dock and of the tanker manifold above the water level. The self supporting base risers transfer the loads of the arm directly to the dock. The base riser has the following functions: > Transfers the product between the shore piping system and the arm assembly (product line), > Locking down of the arm when in rest position. ‘At the top of the riser, a swivel joint called "Style 50" supports the inboard section and allows the arm to slew around the vertical axis and the inboard section to rotate around a horizontal axis (swivels 1 & 2) (See fig 1 - 2: RCMA “S” swivel joints). Inboard arm The inboard arm is a pipe carrying the product between the riser and the outboard arm. The swivel joint connecting the outboard arm to the inboard arm is called "Style 40" (swivel 3). Inboard structure The inboard structure is a welded beam, which supports the arm assembly, product line and outboard structure, and includes the steel beam (balancing beam) supporting the balancing sheave with main counterweights and the additional counterweights. The locking of the inboard section at rest position is achieved by locking the balancing beam to the riser base. Outboard arm The outboard section is a pipe carrying the product between the inboard section and the tanker manifold. It is connected to the inboard section through the "Style 40° swivel joint. The other outboard end is fitted with a triple swivel joint assembly called "Style 80".
