Lumut (BNLUM)

Lumut is not an all weather port. There are offshore berths for liquefied natural gas and Methanol export only.

Tropical.

Lumut is an open sea berth, without breakwaters of any kind, approx 2.5nm offshore from the town of Lumut, which is on W Brunei coastline, 18km from Seria.

Harbour: LOA 290m, draught 11.6m, beam 50m, 72,758DWT. Off Shore: 46,000DWT.

The anchorage (Anchorage 'C') is for vessels calling at Lumut and is located 3.0nm N of the berth. The area is contained within the following limits: Parallel of 04°45'N and 04°46'N, meridian of 114°26'E and 114°28'E.

Approaches: Caution must be taken when approaching Brunei coastal waters because of the numerous platforms and drilling rigs in the oil fields. The area is serviced by numerous support craft and barges under tow may be encountered. Latest Notices to Mariners should be consulted for details of Safety Zones.

BA 2109. Admiralty Pilot NP31, NP286(4).

1020-1025.

The vessel will generally follow a westerly track and the final approach will be from the W with tugs connected to bow and stern on the centreline. The vessel is turned to the N and moves stern first into the berth. Moorings are run by two mooring launches.The vessel lies alongside 4 low friction face fenders and moors with 2 head, 2 breastlines and 2 springs for smaller vessels, and 3 head, 3 breastlines and 2 springs for larger vessels, forward and aft. Moorings must be a minimum 44mm diameter wires with 11m nylon pendants attached by Mandel shackles or similar. All wires must be fitted to self stow winches with minimum heave capability of 20t on the springs and 30t on the breastlines. A mooring load monitoring system is incorporated in the hooks ashore and minimum tensions on moorings must be maintained throughout the vessel's stay in the berth. The gangway remains lowered throughout the time the vessel is alongside and is approx 17m aft of the vapour manifold connection. The gangway may be lifted if the weather deteriorates after mutual agreement between the master and pilot.

Provided by Brunei Shell Petroleum at the request of Brunei Liquefied Natural Gas (BLNG). The pilot will board the vessel 2nm N of the terminal from a 20m pilot/mooring line handling launch. Masters must ensure that the pilot access is rigged as per current regulations and a good lee is provided. A clean heaving line is necessary. The pilot launch will work on VHF Ch 73, callsign "Lumut Pilot". The pilot remains onboard the vessel during the time it is moored and is the BLNG Berthing Master and representative onboard.

Lumut is included in the Government Kuala Belait port area. The boundary is parallel to 04°47'N

Navigational beacons indicating the berthing approach line are established on the northernmost mooring dolphin (MD4) and an isolated piled beacon due E providing a transit of a fixed (MD4) and flashing (piled beacon) green light (and day markers) on a heading of 090°. A limiting water depth transit is established with a fixed and flashing red light situated on the old loading jetty platform (flashing) and switch house 13 (fixed) marking the 11m depth contour which runs WSW of the berth. Two yellow buoys displaying individually distinctive white lights with radar reflectors mark the berth pocket.

Lumut is an open sea berth and therefore, sea conditions may restrict the berthing and mooring of vessels. Conditions exceeding 20kts wind and 2m sea/swell by day and 15kts wind and 1.5m sea/swell by night will make berthing unlikely.

Range 1.5m - 2.0m.

Three Rotor Tugs (bollard pull 80T) are always standing by at Brunei LNG Terminal

Prevailing winds: NE'ly (Dec-Mar), SW'ly (Jun-Oct). The area is affected by squalls associated with cumulonimbus cloud and thunderstorms. These squalls can be very severe and peak gusts of 75kts are not uncommon. All squalls are accompanied by torrential rain.

VHF: Port: Ch 16, 73. A VHF Station (Port Control) at Lumut callsign "Lumut Control" maintains a watch 12 hours before vessel's ETA on Ch 73, which is normally used as a working channel and Ch 71 as an alternative. The pilot launch operates on Ch 73 callsign "Lumut Pilot". Brunei Shell Radio (VSL-1) can be contacted on VHF Ch 16 or 19 at call sign "Brunei Shell Radio".

Officers will board the vessel either at the anchorage or in the berth and arranges Customs and Immigration clearance. Port authorities do not normally board vessels at Lumut, but may do so.

Vessel's ETA should be advised 72 and 24 hours in advance to BLNG (Brunei Liquified National Gas) and agents by telex.

Brunei National Flag should be flown during hours of daylight. Pilot flag should remain hoisted after pilot boarding and during daylight hours until he disembarks.

Brunei Government Marine Department issues Notice to Mariners for local waters. Shell Marine Services Department (SMR) also issues NTM for offshore activities carried out by Shell. The latest NTM information can be obtained from the local agent. Personnel joining or leaving the ship should wear personal protective clothing and life vest when transiting the LNG plant.

A detailed shipping report has to be completed for the Brunei Government Marine Department. The agent will provide forms for completion. If the vessel comes from an infected port or its state of health is suspect, the medical officer may board in order to inspect crew and relevant medical certificates.
