Wandoo Marine Terminal (AUWNT)

Wandoo filed consists of the Wandoo A an Unmanned Monopod; Wandoo B a Production Platform and a Single Point Tanker Mooring and Offloading Facility. Wandoo A and Wandoo B is connected by an undersea pipeline. Oil is stored in the concrete structure supporting Wandoo B processing facilities and then offloaded through flexible pipelines to a CALM Buoy located 1.2km north of the Wandoo B platform. Oil is being trabsferred using a floating hose from the CALM Buoy to export tankers situated at a mooring facility.

In all cases the Wandoo Vessel Questionnaire (WVQ) must be completed. The procedure for acceptance of tankers is as follows: ..... 1. A vessel nomination shall be accompanied by a completed WVQ and submitted to the MARC marketing department. 2. MARC will within 24 hours of WVQ being received: a. Accept the vessel on the information provided, or b.

Reject the vessel. 3. The acceptability of a vessel shall hold for a period of 3 months, subject to the inspection of the vessel prior to berthing at the SPM for compliance with the terminal requirements including, but not limited to the suitability of the safety check list. 4.
