Cayo Arcas Terminal (MXCAT)

The Cayo Arcas Terminal consists of two SPM's that load crude oil to tankers. FPSO 'Yuum K'ak' Naab' fall under this port entry due to its close proximity to the SPM's, and are operated by PEMEX.

Summer.

Cayo Arcas Terminal is situated 3nm S of the Cayo Arcas islands in the Bay of Campeche and consists of two SPM's. Other facilities include FSO 'Ta'kuntah' (located in the Cantarell Field) and FPSO 'Yuum K'ak' Naab' (located in the Ku-Maloob-Zaap (KMZ) field), both of which are approx. 64nm N of Ciudad del Carmen in the Bay of Campeche, off the Yucatan peninsula, Gulf of Mexico. The FSO and FPSO are separated by 13nm of water.

Offshore: LOA 332.97m, BCM 170m, draught 22.5m, 298,991DWT.

Approx 20,000,000t of cargo handled annually.

For the Cayo Arcas Terminal, tankers that do not yet have permission to moor, use the anchorage area located at a distance of 4 - 8nm to the E and SE of the terminal limits. Another anchorage area, with a soft mud, sand and brittle shell bottom, is located at the following points: ..... Point Latitude Longitude 1. 20° 07.400'N 91° 44.700'W 2. 20° 12.500'N 91° 44.700'W 3. 20° 12.500'N 91° 50.000'W 4. 20° 7.400'N 91° 50.000'W An anchorage with a sand and shell bottom, with depths of 12.8m is located approx. 0.86nm SW of Cayo. The prohibited area for anchoring vessels not participating in terminal activities is delimited by a line that links the following points: ..... Point Latitude Longitude 1. 20° 07.300'N 92° 00.300'W 2. 20° 10.500'N 92° 00.000'W 3. 20° 11.200'N 92° 00.500'W 4. 20° 12.400'N 92° 00.000'W 5. 20° 11.800'N 91° 59.000'W 6. 20° 09.800'N 91° 57.400'W 7. 20° 07.300'N 91° 57.700'W

FSO 'Ta'kuntah' is positioned in the Cantarell Field, which has 35 platforms. There are SBM's in the vicinity that also service the this field.

The FSO has 10 mooring lines with structural capacity for a fully laden vessel. Shuttle tankers are berthed either alongside - on either side - or astern in tandem. Two tankers can be handled at the same time.

Pilotage is compulsory and is available Mon-Sat 0800-1800hrs local time and Sun 0800-1200hrs local time. Pilot boards approx 2.5nm SW of the platform (20° 11.4'N 091°59.5'W). Pilots can be contacted on VHF Ch 16. Vessels to be moored will be boarded by a PEMEX Mooring Master in the anchorage area. The Mooring Master will advise the ship's Master on approaches to the SPM, mooring and unmooring, connecting and disconnecting hoses and all other operations within the terminal area. The vessel's Master or qualified deck officers must be on the bridge at all times while the vessel is being manoeuvred. PEMEX shall not be liable for any damage or injury that may result from the advice or assistance given or made by the mooring master while aboard or in the vicinity of such vessel.

Cayo Arcas Terminal consists of offshore loading installations for the export of crude oil. The terminal limits are bounded by the following co-ordinates: ..... Latitude Longitude 1. 20°11.3'N 091°58.7'W 2. 20°08.1'N 091°58.7'W 3. 20°11.3'N 091°55.5'W 4. 20°08.1'N 091°55.5'W Within this area, the anchoring of vessels is strictly prohibited and the Terminal Safety Requirements are in effect

Cayo Arcas Light (20°12'N 091°58'W).

Berthing is during daylight hours only, sailings are permitted at any time. Draughts: The following draughts must be maintained during all manoeuvres and at the SBM's for safety reasons: ..... Draughts GT of Vessel Fore Aft (m) (m) 20,000 to 35,000 4.8 7.9 35,001 to 60,000 5.4 8.5 60,001 to 110,000 6.1 9.1 110,001 to 150,000 7.3 10.3 150,001 and over see below Draughts will be notified 24 hours prior to any manoeuvre by the pilots. During loading, vessels should comply with the following recommendations: ..... 1. Trim to be not more than 3.05m; 2. Propeller should remain submerged at all times; and 3. An unobstructed view of the horizon should be maintained.

The movement of vessels in the port is monitored and controlled by a Maritime Traffic Controller on a 24 hour basis. All vessels are requested to contact the Maritime Traffic Controller on VHF Ch 16 when carrying out any movements and switch to VHF Ch 06 for instructions. Any vessel that needs to enter the area of Maritime Traffic Control, is obliged to furnish the Control Station with the following information 1 hour prior to the arrival at such area: ..... 1. Name of vessel 2. Flag 3. Callsign 4. Name of vessel's owner 5. Name of Master 6. Destination 7. Last port 8. Tonnage of the vessel 9. Draught 10. Type of cargo

Tugs and/or launches may assist in berthing vessels and are under direct control and supervision of the Mooring Master.

Prevailing winds: N'ly winds Sep-May, E'ly winds Apr-Aug; hurricanes in the Gulf Jun-Oct. Hot and humid temperatures range from 10°C to 39°C. Rainfalls between May-Oct. FSO 'Ta'kuntah' is located in a hurricane prone area. In two instances, partial crew evacuation was carried out due to hurricane threat but fortunately full evacuation was not necessary.
