Kertih (MYKET)

The port consists of 3 marine terminals located within the port which are Kertih Marine Facilities, Petronas Penapisan (Terengganu) and Terengganu Crude Oil Terminal. The three facilities lie in a 20sq nm restricted area which extends approx 8km from the coast within the port limits.

Tropical.

Kerteh Port is situated off the E coast of the Malaysian Peninsula in the South China Sea, approx 20km off Kuala Dungun.

Harbour: LOA 183m, beam 32.2m, draught 10.50m, 51,022DWT. Offshore: LOA 251.56m, BCM 44m, draught 20.40m, 115,048DWT

The anchorage area is 4nmІ, bounded by the parallels of 04°30.0'N and 04°32'N and meridian 103°32.0'E and 103°34.0'E. Vessels are prohibited from anchoring in any position, whether inside or outside the Restricted Area, other than in the designated Anchorage Area. Crude and gas pipelines and a telephone cable are laid in the vicinity and may not be shown on all charts. During severe weather conditions, it is not advisable to anchor as holding ground is poor and vessels should slowly steam 5-10nm off the coast and remain within VHF radio range. In the event that VHF radio contact cannot be established, Masters are advised not to anchor but keep to seaward of the Anchorage Area and the Restricted Zone. Contact will then be made by the Terminal's support craft. Note: Vessels are strictly prohibited to carry out hot works or repairs of any kind which could cause fire hazard or immobilise engine at berth or within port area, except at the designated anchorage area, with the approval of Kertih Port Harbour Master

Approaches: There are two approach channels: North Approach: A 250m wide channel with a dredged depth of 10.0m CD leads to the berths and breakwater from the NE. South Approach: A min water depth of 12.5m CD leads to the buoy moorings and berths from the south. There are no known outlying dangers if approach to the anchorage area is made from the NE-SE quadrant. During the NE Monsoon the usual practice is to enter from the Southern entrance and exit through the Northern entrance and in reverse during the SW Monsoon period, draught limitations permitting. Kertih Port Sea Lightbuoy, (04°32.0'N 103°34.9'E), pillar buoy, red and white vertical stripe, Fl(W)10s. A restricted area extending 4nm offshore encloses the terminal. Vessels may not enter the area unless a Mooring Master is onboard. A lightbuoy marking the N limit of the restricted area is moored approx 4.5nm NE of Tanjong Batu Lata. Nos 1 and 2 Single Anchor Leg Moorings (SALM) lie 2.25nm ENE and 2.5nm E respectively of Tanjong Batu Lata. Each is yellow with black stripes and carries a light and a fog signal. The max loaded draught is 17.4m at SALM No 1 and 20.4m at SALM No 2. A Single Point Mooring (SPM) lies 1.25nm NE of Tanjong Batu Lata. It is white in colour and carries a light and fog signal. A tanker between 15,000DWT and 85,000DWT can berth there to a max draught of 11.1m. Note: Danger line lightbuoys are moored on the 15.0m depth contour inshore of the moorings for the benefit of berthing deep draught tankers.

Mooring equipment should comply with 'Recommendation for Equipment Employed in the Mooring of Ship at Single Point Mooring' published by OCIMF (latest edition). Tanker's crew are responsible for mooring, hose connections and unmooring. Two EPMI Mooring Masters will attend vessel for berthing and one for unberthing. Berthing and mooring: ..... i. Prior to berthing, the Marine Pilot will discuss with the Master the mooring operations. He will also inspect the tankers ballast to ensure only clean ballast is being used. ii. The second Marine Pilot will discuss with the Officer on the bow regarding the mooring operations and liaise with the officer to supervise the mooring operation performed by the tanker's crew. iii. The tanker, heading to the SPM, will normally have the wind ahead. However, tidal effect will have to be carefully considered. A tug vessel and mooring launch will be in attendance. iv. During the final approach, the mooring launch will pick up a messenger line from the tanker's bow and maintain station approximately 100m ahead of the tanker. v. When the mooring launch reaches the end of the mooring system's pick-up rope, the tanker messenger line will be made fast and the tanker's crew will heave in the slack as the tanker moves closer to the SPM. vi. When the pickup line is onboard, the crew will commence heaving on this line until the chafing chain is onboard and secured. vii. When the SPM is at maximum excursion, for example; 2 mooring chains tight on the weather side, no vessels, such as tugs or standby vessels, can approach this SPM closer than 15m. KMF: The port must be informed of any equipment failure that could have an effect on safe mooring. Adequate number of personnel must be present to handle the mooring. Mooring lines must be well maintained and have good tension. The mandatory lines for all types of vessels apply; ..... Berth Forward Aft Head Breast Spring Head Breast Spring B1 2 2 2 2 2 2 B2 2 2 2 2 2 2 B3 2 2 2 2 2 2 B4 3 2 2 3 3 3 B5 3 2 2 3 3 3 B6 2 2 2 2 2 2 The vessel's personnel must monitor the condition of mooring lines frequently. Port representatives will also check the mooring lines. However, it is the Master's responsibility to make necessary adjustments to the lines. When berthing and unberthing, mooring gangs will receive instructions from the pilot. PP(T) SB-SPM and TCOT-SALM bound vessels should be prepared to be moored to the SBM and make ready the following; ..... One coil of messenger rope, circumference 2.5in, min length 200m. One empty self stowing drum. In NE monsoon TCOT-SALM bound vessels should be prepared to be moored to the SALM's and to make ready the following: ..... Two coils of messenger rope, circumference 2.5in, min length 200m. Two empty self stowing drums.

Pilotage by the Mooring Master is compulsory and should be requested by agent, 24, 12 and confirmed 6 hours prior to arrival at the port. Unberthing requests should be made at 12 hours, updated at 6 hours and confirmed 2 hours prior to departure. Contact Marine Control on Ch 16 when within range, and maintain listening watch. Pilot/Mooring Masters board tankers at Pilot Station's 1 or 2 using the pilot or tug boat. ..... Pilot Station 1 (North) 04°38.0'N 103°33.0'E Pilot Station 2 (South) 04°35.0'N 103°33.0'E Pilot Ladder: A combination of pilot ladder and vessels accommodation gangway to be rigged for a vessel of freeboard more than 9.0m. Vessels with freeboard of less than 9.0m need only rig the pilot ladder. Air operated pilot hoist are not acceptable. During the NE monsoon period (Nov-Mar), vessels may be requested to board Mooring Masters off Tanjong Berhala (04°15.5'N 104°28.0'E) approx 20nm SE of the terminal.

When approaching the port, Kertih Port Radio will advise on the status of the above buoys.

The Restricted Area is bounded by imaginary lines connecting the following points: ..... Latitude Longitude 1. 04°37'N 103°26'E 2. 04°37'N 103°31'E 3. 04°32'N 103°33'E 4. 04°32'N 103°31'E 5. 04°33'N 103°28'E Vessels should under no circumstances enter the Restricted Area without the service of a pilot.

Currents: The tides off Kertih vary widely, with periods of only one HW and one LW each lunar day, there are also marked inequalities in times and heights of HW and LW. The ocean currents off the Kertih Coast are the result of the monsoon winds pattern, setting S during the NE monsoon and N during the SW monsoon. Combination tide and current: The strength of the current is dependent on the strength of the monsoon winds and when winds are strong the current can increase to 2kts or more. During the NE monsoon the combination of current and flood tide can produce a S running stream of 3kts or more and with a very weak N running stream. The same occurs in reverse during the SW monsoon. Caution: When at anchor it should be noted that with the tidal streams and currents in "conjunction" they can exceed 3kts in strong winds and as the holding ground is not good, it is important that a very careful check is kept on the ship's position at all times.

The Kertih Marine Control is equipped with radar based vessel traffic management system and will advise vessels when VHF contact has been established.

KMF: The use of at least 2 tugs is mandatory for berthing, unberthing or shifting at the Kertih Marine Facility (KMF). The final number of tugs required will be at the discretion of the pilot and will depend on wind and weather conditions. ..... TCOT: Tug requirements i. The tug should be arranged by the owner ii. Minimum 6,000hp iii. Must be able to push and pull iv. Must be fitted with a stretcher rope at the end of towing wire v. Must have twin screw and bow thrusters vi. The tug crew must be experienced with harbour berthing vii. Tug must arrive at TCOT at least 3 hours prior to berthing for planning and discussions. For CALM: There is 1 tug with a capacity of 3,500bhp available. For SALM: There is 1 tug of 1,000bhp and 1 tug of 3,000bhp capacity available.

SW monsoon (May-Sep): Winds are generally moderate during this season but may freshen in local squalls, usually in late afternoons. NE monsoon (Nov to Mar): Intermittent bad weather occurs during this monsoon and high sea and swell conditions can persist for extended periods. Transition periods (Apr and Oct): Winds are generally variable during the monsoon transition periods but may freshen in the late afternoon and early evening with the sea breeze effect. Occasionally, local gale force squalls may occur but these are generally of short duration.

Notices on "Condition of Use and Safety Precautions of the Terminal" will be presented to the Master of arriving vessels by the boarding Mooring Masters. The Terengganu Crude Oil Terminal (TCOT-SALM): ..... i. Tankers must arrive with a max trim of 3.0m by the stern with propellers fully submerged ii. Tankers with sharp bows (non bulbous bow) are not acceptable iii. Max loaded draught permissible is 20.4m. Mooring requirements: ..... i. Prior to berthing, the Mooring Master will discuss with the Master, the berthing and mooring operations and confirm the vessel is fully manoeuvrable. He will also inspect the tankers ballast to ensure only clean ballast is carried and when it is disposed of overboard will be safely carried out simultaneously with the loading of the cargo. ii. The second Mooring Master will discuss with the Officer on the bow the mooring operations and liaise with the Officer to supervise the mooring operations performed by the tankers crew. iiii. After ensuring the manoeuvring area is clear of other traffic and sea and weather conditions are stable, the tanker will be manoeuvred for the approach to the mooring buoy. iv. The heading of the tanker will normally be such that she will have the wind ahead but tidal effect may have to be taken into account. A tug of suitable power and a mooring launch will be in attendance. v. During the final approach the mooring launch will pick up a messenger line from the tanker's bow and maintain station approximately 100m ahead of the tanker. When the mooring launch reaches the end of the mooring system pickup rope, the tanker's messenger line will be made fast and the tanker's crew will heave in the slack as the tankers move closer to the mooring buoys. vi. When the pickup line is onboard, the crew will commence heaving on this line until the chafing chain is onboard and secured. vii. The TCOT SALM's are fitted with 1 x 3in (76mm) diameter chafing chain which requires a centre Panama lead with a minimum diameter of 600 x 450mm. viii. Tankers greater than 140,000DWT will be berthed at SALM No 2 and two chain mooring system will be connected, which requires two Panama fair leads as per OCIMF recommendations.

Health clearance by agent upon boarding. The Drug and Alcohol policy does not permit the use drugs and alcohol within the port limits. It is the Master's responsibility to ensure all crew members comply with this rule.
