Girassol Terminal (AOGIR)

The terminal comprises FPSO Girassol and a SPM. Main cargo handled here is crude.

Tropical.

Girassol Terminal is located approx 210km NNW of Luanda and 75nm from the nearest shoreline.

LOA 336.01m, beam 60m, 400,000DWT

Vessels will approach the waiting zone from the N, W and S on the W side of longitude 11°30'E. Sailing on the E side of longitude 11°39'E is forbidden without the pilot onboard.

BA 307, 311, 4209. Admiralty Pilot NP2, NP286(8).

The main offloading system is from a loading buoy, approx 1nm from the FPSO and the secondary system is a conventional tandem system from the FPSO. Mooring services are provided by a crew designated TFE E&P Angola. TFE E&P Angola supply the mooring hawsers. The vessel should therefore be prepared to heave the mooring hawser in the axis of its Panama fair lead when only one mooring line is presented, or 2 mooring hawsers on 2 symmetrical fair leads when 2 mooring lines are presented. Characteristics of the mooring hawser (Buoy loading): Each mooring line chiefly consist of one 16in Grommet rope hawser 90m long NWBS 580T, and chafe chain tanker side, held by a support buoy and its chain. The chafe chain arrangement comprises one chafe chain 'A' as per OCIMF, (approx 0.9m long, diameter 8cm, PL 482T, MBL:611T) and one chafe chain 'C' as per OCIMF (3.5m approx long, approx 10cm diameter, PL:9162T, MBL: 231T). To facilitate heaving, each mooring line has a 10in circumference polypropylene pickup and messenger rope: First pickup rope: 15m long + messenger rope 100m long with MBL: 72T each (orange). The mooring hawsers are connected to the buoy by the use of a quick release system. The release of the mooring hawser can be activated from the buoy, from the portable berthing aid equipment used by the pilot and from the FPSO CCR. Characteristics of the floating hoses: The mooring lines chiefly consist of: ..... One FPSO chafe chain with a cylindrical support buoy CB 40 MARLOW and its chain One mooring hawser MARLOW superline 21in, 100% nylon, 100m long MBL:570T One chafe chain tanker side, chain 'B' as per OCIMF (approx 10m long, diameter 3in) held by a cylindrical support buoy CB 65 MARLOW and its chain. To facilitate heaving, the mooring line has a messenger rope length 250m, 104mm diameter N°13 MARLOW FYBALINE 8.

Pilotage is compulsory. The terminal operates between 0600 and 1500hrs for berthing, vessels arriving after 1500hrs will be instructed to drift over night and be in the official waiting zone about 5nm SW of the SBM at 0600hrs the following morning. Vessels are not allowed to enter the Girassol Terminal unless the pilot is onboard. Pilots designated by Total E&P are provided. The pilot will advise the vessel's Master on approaches to the berth, mooring, assistance vessel handling, deballasting, connecting, disconnecting the hoses, unmooring and other operations within the terminal area. Vessels are not permitted to move from the waiting area to the loading point without the assistance of the pilot. Immigration, Health, Customs and Harbour Authorities proceed with inspection upon arrival with the pilot on the vessel.

The Girassol Terminal facilities are protected from fishing and navigation by a zone covering an area 7nm radius circle around the centre point of the FPSO. There are no specific beacons marking this zone.

Girassol FPSO is fitted with a transponder beacon with radar X and S bands. This radar allows vessels surveying within a range of 24nm around the FPSO. It is associated with an anti collision alarm system. Beaconing at the Buoy: The loading buoy is fitted with 1 omni directional marine lantern. A flare burns from a mast 95m above the deck of the FPSO. Waiting Zone: Vessels coming to load at the Girassol Terminal wait inside a waiting zone defined by the following characteristics: ..... Centre Location: 4.8nm in the SW of the loading buoy Centre Position: 07°40'S 011°37'E Circle radius 2.0nm

A restricted area, with a radius of 6 nautical miles, lies centred on the FPSO. Vessels are prohibited from entering this area without prior permission from the terminal.

Available to assist with berthing and pullback operations.

The rainy season runs from Feb-Apr. The air temperature varies from 23 - 30°C with humidity at 91%. Visibility may be limited to 0.5nm. The dry season is cooler and lasts from Jun-Aug. Temperature varies between 18° to 22°C with humidity around 86%. Surface sea temperature varies from 30°C at the beginning of the year to 20°C in July, with salinity from 28 to 35g/l. Winds are S'ly, generally less than 15kts. Strong winds are E'ly or from SSE associated tornadoes and do not blow for long. Speeds can reach up to 40kts. Currents in Block 17 vary considerably in strength and direction but prevailing NNW with a speed that may exceed 2kts. The prevailing swell is SSW, with an average height from 1.5m to 2.5m, a period of 2 seconds and the waves generated by the local winds rarely exceed 2m. Swells are stronger from May to Oct and at a maximum 2 to 3 days before spring tide.

The Chief Medical Office, Border Health Authority, carries out health inspection before approach or after the vessel has moored. Tel: +2442 9230 7051 or 9230 6616. The health authorities at the port of Soyo may grant free pratique by radio. In the event of a contagious disease onboard, the vessel's master must alert the Chief Medical Officer of The Border Health Authority prior to arrival.

When the vessel is in ready condition to load, the Master tenders his Notice of Readiness to the terminal. The Notice of Readiness can only be accepted between 0600 and 1500hrs local time, this being the opening hours of the terminal on Block 17.
