Pilotage is compulsory within a 2nm radius of the terminal. Pilot will advise boarding position after VHF contact has been established with the terminal. Berthing is available 0600-1500hrs LT. Vessels arriving after 1500hrs LT will be berthed the following day. Unberthing is available throughout 24 hours.

Exclusion Zone: The terminal is bounded by a maritime exclusion zone, a circle centred at the turret of the FPSO with a diameter of 2nm.

Vessels are not permitted to approach within 500m of the FPSO or EWHT without permission from the FPSO and/or OIM drilling rig.
