Mubarek Terminal (AEMUB)

Crude oil is the sole product of the terminal. There are only limited facilities to offer. Vessels may be requested to leave the terminal during bad weather.

Tropical.

Mubarek Terminal is situated in the Persian Gulf midway between Sharjah and the Iranian coast.

Tandem mooring: 275,000DWT. Max distance bow to centre manifold (BCM) 180m.

The anchorage area, 1nm in diameter and with approx 40m depth is established outside the SE limits of the oilfield.

BA 2837, 2887, 2888, 3175. US Publications 172. Admiralty Pilot NP63, NP286(8).

UAE coastguard are based at Sharjah port.

1027.

Two Mooring Masters will board the vessel and moor the Export tanker to the Hubaraka. The terminal Supervisor/Mooring Master will lead the operation. Weather and other factors permitting, vessels will normally be moored during daylight only and unmoored throughout 24 hours.

Compulsory and during daylight hours only. Pilot boarding place is to the S of Mubarek Oilfield is 25°50.60'N 055°17.60'E.

Permanently fixed oil production platforms, incorporating crude oil treating facilities rises approx 24m above water at approx 25°50.43'N 055°11.48'E. A permanently fixed flare structure (tripod) rises 45.7m (flare tip) above water at approx 25°50.56'N 055°12'E. In addition there are numerous oil wellheads in the area to the NE of the flare. Each of these displays a white flashing "U" every 30 secs.

No entry to oilfield area without a pilot onboard.

Tides: Mean range 1.0m spring range 1.8m. Currents: The currents are predominantly of counter-clockwise circulation throughout the year. Their speed has been observed to be from 0.4 to 0.8kt in Jan and from 0.6kt to 1.7kts in Apr.

Berthing at tanker loading terminal assisted by oil company supplied tugs.

Wind and Weather: ..... NW'ly Shamal Year Round SE'ly Kaus Oct-Mar NE'ly Nashi Periodic From Jun-Sep, the Shamal blows over the whole area of the Gulf, producing rough seas, stirring up dust clouds that affect visibility at sea and reaching a considerable force which lasts for several days at a time. Winter storms which pass through the Gulf region are generally preceded by S'ly winds and seas, which usually veer to NW'ly behind the storm. Cold fronts occasionally penetrate the area with these storms accompanied by squalls and seas of variable direction, followed by a Shamal. Summer winds and seas seldom vary from NW'ly. Seas and swells in the Eastern Gulf tend to predominate from NW and SE. Seas of up to 5.4m and swells of 1.8m and higher occur in the Central Gulf. Min occurrences are in the Strait of Homuz. Generally, calm or light seas prevail in the Gulf more than 40% of the year.

Initial communication by radio facilities between ship and Crescent Petroleum Company should be via telex (through vessel's agents or direct from vessel via Inmarsat). Alternatively via Bahrain Radio (callsign "A9M") which operates on a 24 hour basis, and later by VHF Ch 71 to Mubarek Oil Terminal. Company Mooring Master will have sole control of radio installations during the period a vessel is manoeuvring or moored. No radio transmissions will be permitted onboard ship except by the express permission of the Mooring Master in each case; only the Mooring Master may transmit on VHF Ch 33A and 71 during the period he is onboard. He will have a VHF radio telephone with him. Mubarek Oil Terminal radio station callsign "Mubarek Terminal" particulars are as follows: Operated by Crescent Petroleum Company, Sharjah. Position 25°49'N 055°11'E. Located on storage vessel "Mubaraka". VHF: Mubarek Terminal: Ch 16, 17, 33, 71. Tel: +971 6 572 7000. Fax: +971 6 572 6000. Telex: +893 68015 crespt em. Hours of operation throughout 24 hours. Mubarek Oil Terminal Control Centre keeps continuous watch on Ch 71. A vessel should make contact on Ch 71 when the terminal will request her to switch to an alternate channel. Ch 17 is reserved for communications between ships in moorings and Mubarek Oil Terminal Movements Control Centre, located onboard the storage tanker "Mubaraka". This is a safety measure since oil flow to ships is controlled through Ch 33A and 71, which therefore must be clear at all times in case of a need to stop oil flow for any cause. Ch 16 is for calling and safety use only. In emergency failure of radio telephone communication, daylight lamp signalling may be used with the Oil Movements Control Centre, located on Mubaraka.

There are no Customs or Immigration Officials in attendance.

Customs and Mooring Master will require: ..... Documents Copies 1. Crew List 1 2. Crew Declaration of personal belongings 1 3. Stores List 1 4. Cargo Manifest for terminal discharge 6 5. Cargo Manifest for transit cargo with a summary 1 Clearance from the last port of call will be required by the government authorities. The police will require 4 copies of a Crew List and a Passenger Manifest if any passengers are onboard. Cargo documentation: Early Departure Procedure (EDP) is in operation.

Vessels are requested to confirm ETA 72, 48, 24, 12 and 4 hours prior to arrival. The 72 hour signal should include ETA; Last Port of Call; if any sickness onboard; if the vessel has clean bill of health; cargo quantity and grades expected to be lifted in long tons and barrels; arrival draught and displacement. The 12 hour signal should include definite indication as to whether the vessel is ready to load or not and should also include information on the time she will require to discharge ballast after arrival. Precise ETA should be given when the vessel is 4 hours from the terminal.Unreasonable insufficiency or inaccuracy in ETA messages may alter the order of berthing of ships to the advantage of those ships giving sufficient and accurate ETA messages. Acceptance of Notice of Readiness will also be affected by such insufficiency or inaccuracy.

Courtesy ensigns: UAE and Iran.

Ships arriving should have ready: ..... 1. Messenger lines on forecastle head for bringing one mooring line aboard from the "Mubaraka" bow. 2. Mooring winches on foc'sle head for handling one 11in circumference synthetic fibre floating pick up line from "Mubaraka" bow mooring system. 3. Adequate bow stopper to OCIMF design and suitable for 76mm dia chain. 4. Hose lifting winch, derrick and gear rigged for 10t 5. Adequate messenger for making tug fast at vessel's stern.

The vessel should have a clean bill of health or equivalent document from the Last Port of Call. From time to time Cholera Vaccination Certificates may be required and it is, therefore, prudent that all crew members are in possession of valid certificates.

Notices of readiness: The company will make every effort to load vessels upon arrival or as promptly as berth is available, weather permitting. Notice of readiness will not be accepted as at time of arrival unless the vessel in all respects is ready to load. Arrival time will be considered the time the company Mooring Master boards the vessel or alternatively anchors within the approved anchorage area, whichever occurs first.

On receipt of first signal from a vessel, terminal will transmit a message to her giving preliminary requirements of terminal. Masters are urged to comply with this in all details in order to facilitate vessel turnaround and government formalities.
