Soroosh Terminal (IRCYT)

The terminal comprises of FSO 'Khalij-E-Fars' with 2,200,000bbls storage capacity and used to export crude oil.

Tropical.

FSO 'Khalij-E-Fars', formerly known as "Soroosh or Syrus Terminal", is a single tanker mooring terminal in the central northern Persian Gulf, situated approx 45nm WSW of Kharg Island.

330,000DWT. No limitations on draught or LOA.

Anchorage is available at a distance of 3nm SE of the FSO with 40m water depth.

BA 2847, 2882, 2884. Admiralty Pilot NP63, NP286(8).

Coastguard is available.

1030

Compulsory. The pilot boarding position is approached from the S. Vessels should await the berthing master 2nm SE of the oil loading terminal.

Submarine pipelines: These pipelines connect the various oil field production platforms; a submarine oil pipeline extends NW then N from the centre of the field to the Nowrouz Oilfield (29°31.0'N 049°25.0'E). Inerting is not allowed at the berth. Purging should be carried out at anchorage.

Range 1.8-2.4m

VTMS is not available.

Available, at least one in attendance.

Caution: Sudden changes in wind direction and the relatively heavy NW/SE'ly running swells demand caution, an anchor is always laid out at the buoys. The Northern Persian Gulf experiences strong N'ly winds (locally called shamal), primarily during winter months. These winds can last for periods of up to 3 days but rarely exceed 40kts. More severe winds are invariably from the N and there is a small build up of swell.
