Material classification:
The intrinsically safe electrical equipment and associated wiring should not be
capable of releasing enough electrical or thermal energy under normal or
abnormal active conditions to ignite a specific flammable or fuel atmospheric
mixture, at its most easily ignitable concentration. The flammable material can
be a gas or a vapor.
The intrinsically safe qualified equipment is approved not only for the type of
location but also for the explosive, combustible or volatile properties of the
specific gas, vapor, dust or fibers present.
Also, this piece of equipment will not operate at temperatures that exceed the
ignition temperature of the hazardous material. For more specific information,
please see Investigation approved rules 3610 and 3611 or Section 500 of the

TRANSFER HOSES:
Check for breaks, external deep cuts or damage in the metal mesh.
Check the hydraulic test dates - Less than 1 year.
When operating, check transpiration or minimum leaks
FOR CONNECTION:
Before coupling the big hoses into the ship deck manifold, the flanges
there should be checked. In case of any abnormal condition in the
coupling, the connection point should be taken to similar flanges by
means of an adapter spool.
Once the coupling points in the ship deck are conditioned and the
operating range is verified, the big hose should be taken to the coupling
position with the ship or land boom.
After the connection in land and to the ship deck manifold flange is made,
the corresponding valves will be opened.
After checking all these maneuvers and the correct position of all the
valves that enable the ship lines, the authorization to start moving
product will be agreed with the Deck Officer and the land operations
responsible person.

In the operation platform and throughout the entire loading and unloading
product process, an operator should check the proper operation of the
equipment, checking air tightness of connection flanges and the bending
curve of the hoses with the tide movements.
Before starting the maneuvers to remove the liquid from the hose, it is
necessary to inform the Deck Officer so that he/she can carry out his
operating procedures, and he must notify the loading master and the
plant.
In that position, open the ship valve. Once the liquid is unloaded, the
hose is taken out from the ship and all hose sections are taken to land.

COMMENTS:
The following additional operations should be carried out when using hexene
and octane transfer hoses:
FOR CONNECTION:
Once the hoses are coupled between the platform and ship connection
points, the air tightness of the system should be checked by pressurizing
it with Nitrogen at P: 7 kg. / cm2.
FOR DISCONNECTION:
Once the loading or unloading is finished, the liquid will be flushed with
nitrogen. After checking there is no product between these two points,
and after inertizing the system, the hose/s will be disconnected and they
will be taken to the platform with a crane or post on board and slings.

Having regard to item a) of Section 12 of Decree Number 769/93, ruling the Port Activity Act
Number 24093, which sets as purpose and function of the entities that manage, among others, the Port
of Bahía Blanca, any activity related to services rendered to ships operating in its jurisdiction and
WHEREAS
According to item i) of Section 7 of Chapter III of the bylaws approved by Provincial Act
Number 11414, the Consorcio de Gestión del Puerto has to coordinate the different services rendered,
among others, to ships.
According to the provisions in item n) of the same Section 7 above mentioned, the Consorcio
de Gestión has the function to provide the appropriate means by dictating the corresponding measures,
tending to optimize the efficiency of the port service in its area of operation, in order to reduce port
costs.
In general, the jetties in the jurisdiction of the Consorcio de Gestión del Puerto de Bahía
Blanca do not have fixed facilities for fueling ships, and this operation has to be made by mooring a
smaller ship and/or authorized naval vessel.
Also, supply of materials such as lubricants, spare parts, provisions and general items are
supplied using boats and naval vessels.
According to the provisions in Maritime Ordinance Number 8/98, in its Annex 18, the
companies that render the fueling system to ships using boats must meet the guidelines to prepare
emergency plans and should be approved by the Prefectura Naval Argentina.
With respect to the above mentioned port operations and activities, it is necessary to establish
a procedure for the performance of the task, respecting the safety and hygiene rules in force.
Therefore, as established in Act Number 329 in the Board Book of Records Number 5, of the
meeting held on day June 11, 2001,
SECTION 1: Authorize the supply of fuel, lubricants, spare parts, provisions and/or general supplies to
the ships that operate in the jetties and berths located in the jurisdiction of the Consorcio de Gestión del
Puerto de Bahía Blanca through operations from ships and/or naval vessels to other ships.
SECTION 2: The maritime agent and/or ship-owner and/or naval vessel that needs to perform the
operations included in Section 1 of this Decision, will inform the Consorcio in written, before the
operation, the name of the ship to be supplied, the identification of the supplier´s means of transport, the
product and the quantity, supplying company, execution estimated time, date, estimated time and
operation berth.

SECTION 3: The maritime agents should report in written to the companies in charge of implementing the
PLANACON (in each berth) the beginning of the fuel supply by boat.
A copy of this information should be retransmitted to the terminal communicating, also, the name of the
company that renders the service.
SECTION 4: The companies in charge of performing the tasks mentioned in Section 1 of this Resolution,
should be previously registered at the Consorcio de Gestión del Puerto de Bahía Blanca, and should
observe the corresponding requirements, and should also observe the safety and hygiene rules established
by the “Consorcio de Gestión”, the licensees of the Terminals and/or Prefectura Naval Argentina, in their
corresponding competence area.
SECTION 5: In the case of ships loading/unloading goods, when anticipated that the operations may
extend their stay in the Port, the ship-owner and/or maritime agent and/or ship captain, should request with
sufficient prior time, the authorization to the Licensee Terminal and the approval of the Consorcio. The
latter will decide to extend the term or to change the ship to another berth. The Terminal may object the
operation before the “Consorcio de Gestión”, in the cases and for the reasons that justify the action, and
the Consorcio will make the corresponding decisions.
SECTION 6: The Consorcio will be in charge of analyzing and defining any restriction or modification of any
type that, due to the nature of the operations, may affect any of the jetties and/or berths in its jurisdiction.
SECTION 7: It is ordered that it be recorded & published in the Boletín Oficial of the Province of Buenos
Aires, Be it thus notified to the Sea Center of Bahía Blanca, Port Terminals and Prefectura Naval Argentina
and closed.
