"All vessels are to keep a lookout by all available means, including a listening watch on VHF Channel 10 & 16 within Port Limits, and remain vigilant, especially when navigating near the MOF or LNG Channel",
"Inward bound vessels: When crossing Port Limits “All Ships x 3”, report Vessel Name, Destination, intended route and purpose, Pilotage Exemption Certificate (PEC) number if applicable, Deepest Vessel draught and/or tow, whether carrying high risk ballast, and any vessel defects which may affect safe manoeuvrability",
"When entering either the MOF channel or LNG channel report accordingly",
"When ‘All Fast’ alongside or at anchor report accordingly",
"Outward bound vessels: Before departing, report Vessel Name, Area/ facility/anchorage departing from, destination and intended route, Deepest Vessel draught and/or tow, and Last Line or anchor away",
"When clear of the MOF channel or LNG Channel report accordingly",
"When crossing Port Limits outbound report accordingly",
"Vessels transiting within port limits: report Area/ facility departing from, destination and intended route",
"All port users must report any suspicious activity landside and/or waterside, any marine incident or near miss event, and any activity that hampers a vessel’s ability to manoeuvre as required by COLREGs",
"Any intention to anchor especially outside of an approved anchorage area must be reported",
"High Risk Operations: All vessels intending to undertake high risk operations must make an ‘All Ships’ call on VHF Ch 10 prior to commencement. Examples include: underwater diving operations; bulk liquid transfers of fuel and cargo oils; bulk liquid transfers considered toxic, noxious or a marine pollutant; all heavy lift operations inside the MOF area; any working over the side including rope access; confined space entries; hot work; underwater dredging, drilling, or blasting; helicopter operations/exercises (subject to Australian Customs/Quarantine approval, lowering of lifeboats, life rafts or overboard rescue devices); manned lowering of lifeboats within port limits is generally not approved"

General notices & regulations
Chevron reserves the right at its discretion to refuse to berth a specific tanker if in the opinion of Chevron, conditions or facilities are unsafe for berthing or loading, even though the berth may be open for other tankers. If a tanker is rejected for any reason the terminal will supply the tanker and owners/charterers with written reasons for non-acceptance. The decision of Chevron to permit a tanker to berth shall be final. On receipt of such permission, berthing will be at the discretion of the Master in agreement with the Pilot/Mooring Master. Tankers loading at the terminal must comply with the latest SOLAS and MARPOL conventions and protocols. Tankers found to be deficient or substandard in safety requirements will not be permitted to moor and load. Responsibility of Owner: The onus is exclusively on the Master or Owner to ensure that the tanker is seaworthy and that all equipment is and remains in good working order and condition. Failure by Chevron to reject any tanker not meeting the requirements will not relieve the owner of liability. Tanker Inspections: ..... 1. When nominating a tanker for loading at the terminal the shipper shall provide Chevron with a statement in writing, on the approved Chevron form, that the nominated tanker has satisfactorily undergone a ship inspection, based on OCIMF guidelines and that the results of the inspection are acceptable to the shipper as at the time of inspection and at the time of nomination. 2. Where a tanker has not undergone an inspection as specified Chevron, at its absolute discretion, may accept the tanker for loading at the terminal subject to the tanker undergoing an inspection, prior to loading commencing, by a qualified inspector at the shipper's sole cost. In such cases NOR shall not be tendered until the shipper provides Chevron with a written statement, including, without limitation by fax or telex, that the inspection was satisfactory. Cathodic Protection: A tanker equipped with an impressed current cathodic protection system shall ensure the system is switched off prior to approaching the moorings until the tanker is unberthed. The Master shall be required to sign a declaration to the effect that the impressed current cathodic protection system is turned off before the tanker is allowed to berth.
Health regulations
Quarantine service is not available.
Notices of readiness
Subject to any agreement between the Owner and the vendor of the crude oil to be lifted, provided that Chevron is supplied with a copy of that agreement not less than 5 days before the ETA, NOR will be accepted when the tanker is all fast in the berth, ie; when all mooring lines, backup lines and swamped mooring lines are made fast. For the duration of a vessel's stay within the Port of Barrow Island the vessel agent or operator shall send regular progress reports providing the ETD and sailing draft of the vessel daily. Notifications to the Port of Barrow Island are to be sent to the Marine Communications Operator and Port Captain
