All manoeuvring of vessels within the Cabinda Terminals mooring areas should be done only in accordance with the advice of the CABGOC Mooring Master. CABGOC shall not be liable for any damage, loss or injury which may result from the advice or assistance given or made by the Mooring Master while aboard or in the vicinity of such vessel. MOORING/UNMOORING ARRANGEMENTS: Malongo SPM Operation: ..... 1. Mooring/unmooring operation will normally be undertaken on a 24 hours basis under normal weather conditions and the CABGOC Mooring Master's agreement. 2. Before arrival at the boarding area, it will be necessary to ensure that the following minimum moorings are ready for use on the forecastle of the export vessel on arrival at the SPM berth: Two (2) messenger ropes, 200m long and minimum 4in circumference, preferably floating and stowed on drums and in line with the chain stoppers, and two mooring ropes and a strong messenger at aft station. 3. SBM No 1, 2, 3 & 4 are each equipped with 2 mooring hawsers, each being 18 inches circumference x 67m feet long. Attached to each hawser is a chafe chain, support buoy and a 10 inch circumference x 67m long pick-up rope. When the vessel is within reasonable distance of the buoy, the two ship's lines will be picked up by the mooring launch and made fast to the floating SPM pickup lines. The ship's lines, used as messengers will then be used to heave the pickup lines onboard the export vessel, until the 76mm diameter chafing chain is in a position to be secured to the starboard chain stopper. This is done so that the starboard hawser will be outside and clear of the ship’s fairlead. The port side mooring will then be secured in the same way. 4. Power is required to be available at all times on all deck winches and windlass while the export vessel is in the berth. 5. Two mooring lines shall be available aft, secured to the bitts and of sufficient length to enable a tug to pick up the eyes and tow on it to realign the vessel if necessary. Buoyant lines are requested. However it is normal practice to use the tug-boat towing line and a strong messenger must be ready to pick it up and to secure it on the export tanker aft bitts. HOSES HANDLING: Malongo Oil Terminals: After the vessel has been securely moored, two 16in floating hoses will be connected to the export vessel's port side manifold. The floating cargo hoses are fitted with camlock type couplings to fit 150ASA for 16in flanges. A hose gang will remain onboard to attend to all hose operations, but the export vessel's crew shall provide assistance as and when necessary on the advice of the CABGOC Mooring Master. At such times an export vessel's deck officer shall be in attendance. The export vessel will be required to have ready a hose handling derrick or crane at the port manifold with not less than 15t SWL for the lifting and connection of the hoses. The export vessel's crew will be responsible for handling the hoses and required to operate crane or winches. Every care should be taken during the hose handling operations to avoid serious damage to the hose, the plastic floats and buoys by contact with plate edge, rails, etc. Special equipment, e.g. quick release fittings, etc, will be supplied from the line boat when the CABGOC Mooring Master boards. Before hose handling operations begin, manifold oil containment facilities shall be ready for use and adequate quantities of absorbents available for rapid deployment in the event of spillage.

Compulsory. Pilot boards to the E of the waiting anchorage position (05°28.0'S 011°58.0'E) and remains onboard for the duration of the loading operation, nearest berth 3.1nm, farthest berth 6.2nm.

SBM No 1 is fitted with a navigation light flashing Morse code "B" every 20sec with a range of 5nm and also a fog horn sounding one long blast every 30sec. SBM No 2 is fitted with a navigation light flashing Morse code "G" every 20sec with a range of 5nm and a fog horn sounding Morse code "U" every 20sec. SBM No 3 is fitted with a navigation light flashing Mores code "U" every 20sec with a range of 5nm and a fog horn sounding Morse code "U" every 20sec. SBM No 4 is fitted with a navigation light flashing Mores code "U" every 20sec with a range of 5nm and a fog horn sounding Morse code "U" every 20sec. There are numerous oil well platforms in the vicinity of the terminal in the following positions: ..... Platform Latitude Longitude Light 83-4 05° 25.7'S 011° 59.6'E White 83-6 05° 25.1'S 011° 59.2'E White 84-8 05° 26.1'S 012° 03.2'E Red strobe 84-12 05° 29.2'S 012° 04.0'E White 84-16 05° 28.4'S 012° 03.5'E Green strobe 84-22 05° 26.6'S 012° 00.1'E Red strobe 95-3 05° 33.8'S 011° 59.1'E White 96-1 05° 30.3'S 012° 03.8'E White 84-31 05° 28.3'S 012° 00.1'E Green strobe These navigational aids flash Morse code "U" every 15sec in the colour indicated. The above platforms are each fitted with fog signals sounding one blast every 20sec with a range of 1.5nm. Gathering Station "Juliet" (GSJ) is located in position 05° 24.8'S 011° 59.5'E and is fitted with a navigation light with characteristics of Fl (3) every 30sec. A "Racon" beacon is also installed on this platform. The characteristics of this beacon are Morse code "G" on a 360 azimuth; range 22nm.

Vessels are to keep clear of oil structures, berthing takes place in daylight only, unberthing at anytime.

Range 1.5m.

2 tugs available : 1 x 3,200hp, 1 x 3,500hp. During transfer operations no craft shall be allowed alongside an export vessel unless approval has been given by the CABGOC Mooring Master and agreed by the Master of the export vessel.

The rainy season is from the middle of Oct to the end of Apr. During this season and particularly between Dec and Apr local thunderstorms can be experienced, accompanied by heavy rain for periods of 3-4 hours. Sudden squalls, with wind gusts of 75kts, can be experienced. Waves of 3.5-4.6m can be expected during these periods. Wind speeds are generally not significant (less than 20kts), strongest winds can be expected from the SW quadrant. During the dry season (locally called "Cacimbo"), generally May-Sep, SW'ly swell affects the area, the long swell occasionally exceeds 3.5-4.6m in height. The prevailing current sets NW to NNW and at times exceeds 3kts. Current in the Cabinda area is affected by the "Congo River" tidal flow, as well as heavy rain over the surrounding land area. Thus particularly during the dry season, current setting to the SSW can be experienced. In view of the foregoing, Masters of vessels calling at the Cabinda Terminals are advised that under no circumstances are engine repairs or the immobilisation of main engines permitted within the limits of the terminals.

The national flag of the Republic of Angola shall be permanently displayed by vessels at the Cabinda terminals both by day and night.

All vessels are warned to approach the Cabinda terminals with extreme caution as drilling and survey work are proceeding on a continuous basis. Vessels loading at the Cabinda terminals must comply with the latest SOLAS, STCW, MARPOL, ISPS Conventions and Protocols. Vessels which are found to be seriously deficient in any way will be refused permission to berth or load. Vessels must have the ability to maintain min 30% of the summer deadweight at all times.

Malongo SPM Oil Terminals: NOR will be accepted only between 0600 to1800hrs, provided that the CABGOC representative is satisfied that the export vessel is apparently in all respects ready to moor and load. NOR will normally be accepted at time of arrival when cargo hoses are connected and purged and when the vessel is declared, in all respects, ready to load. The Master of the export vessel is required to have the blank flanges removed from the vessel's port side loading manifold before mooring in order to expedite the connection of hoses. NOR will not be accepted during a period when berthing is suspended on account of adverse weather, or when an export tanker arrives prior to the date upon which it is nominated to load. In no event shall a NOR, whether previously accepted or not, be valid or binding on the terminal unless and until such time as the export vessel, her tanks and equipment, are in fact, in every respect in the proper condition and operation to receive the cargo.
