Escravos Oil Terminal (NGESC)

The terminal, operated by Chevron Nigeria Ltd, consists of a fixed platform with two SBM's for loading export crude, an LPG FSO as well as an STS facility. The Berth Operations Platform (BOP) is equipped with a heliport and is accessible at night due the red lights that surround it. The field is expected to reach its economic limit in 2051. SBM No 2 is off the mouth of the Escravos River in position 005°30'.6N., 004° 59'.4E. SBM No 3 is situated 3.2nm W of SBM No 2 in position 005°29'.5N., 004°55'.9E. The LPG FSO is situated 4nm WNW of SBM No 3 in position 005°31'.6N., 004° 51'.7E. A gas pipeline extends in an E'ly direction from this position. STS is located 35nm ESE of the LPG FSO in position 005° 28.573'N., 005° 26.487'E. LPG FSO specifications: LOA 172.10m, beam 36m, Gascap 54,000mі and 37,354DWT.

Tropical.

Escravos Terminal is situated approx 9.5nm offshore, close W of the River Niger delta.

Max offshore LOA 365m, BCM 183m, draught 22.5m and 350,000DWT

The designated anchorage area is located 2.17nm SSW of the Berth Operations Platform (BOP) in position (005° 28'.5N., 004° 59'.0E). The depth here is approximately 23m, where the seabed is predominately mud. Unless otherwise instructed by the Terminal, this is also used as a mooring master/authorities boarding area. Should it be necessary to anchor, then the vessel shall proceed to the recommended tanker anchorage area or otherwise directed by "Escravos Terminal": ..... Latitude Longitude 1. 005° 28'.5N 004° 59'.0E In case where VHF contact cannot be established, the vessel should proceed to the recommended anchorage position and anchor. Due to the numerous submarine structures, pipelines and other obstructions, unless a Mooring Master is embarked, vessels should not approach closer than 1.3nm to either SBM or LPG FSO nor enter the area bounded by a line joining the following position: ..... Latitude Longitude 1. 005° 33'.2N 004° 59'.5E 2. 005° 33'.2N 004° 51'.0E 3. 005° 31'.0N 004° 51'.0E 4. 005° 29'.0N 004° 55'.0E 5. 005° 29'.0N 005° 00'.0E 6. 005° 32'.5N 005° 04'.0E Vessel must not enter the SBM 2 and SBM 3 "Restricted Entry" areas without a Chevron mooring Master on board.

Even in daylight there is little indication of the terminal until within a short distance. However the following electronic aids have been reported as being helpful: Radar responses from the oil rigs N of the terminal at 24nm. The coastline showing on radar at 14nm with the breakwater easily identifiable. Aero-radio beacon at the airport tank farm (005°36.5'N., 005°11.2'E). When within VHF communication range (20 to 40 miles), Masters of vessel should ascertain berthing prospects from "Escravos Terminal" on VHF Ch 16 or 10.

Mooring and unmooring operations at the crude oil berths will be undertaken day or night under suitable weather conditions. Mooring operations at the LPG FSO will be carried out during the hours of daylight only; unmooring will be carried out during day or night.

Pilotage is compulsory for berthing at Escravos Terminal. Pilots act as Mooring Masters and the boarding area for the Escravos Terminal is in position (005° 28'.5N., 004° 59'.0 E) or as otherwise agreed between the Mooring Mater & the vessel's Master on arrival. Vessels must have their engines ready for immediate use while moored at Escravos Oil Terminal and subsequent berths. If in the opinion of the Mooring Master, the pilot ladder is not safe; the Mooring Master may refuse to board and thus cause a delay to the ship. Such delay would be for the ship's account. During the approach to the berth, while mooring, secured on the berth or LPG FSO and whilst un-berthing, the vessel's anchors must be secured by stoppers with the pawl bar down and wire or chain lashing. All vessels manoeuvring within the area of the SBM Berths or LPG FSO will be under the advice of the Mooring Master, with the understanding that the Master of the vessel being manoeuvred shall remain solely responsible for the safety and proper manoeuvring of the vessel. The Master or a qualified Navigating Officer must be on the bridge at all times while the vessel is manoeuvring and mooring. Two CNL Mooring Masters, together with three Mooring Technicians, will remain on board throughout the vessel's stay on the berth to coordinate the mooring and transfer operation. In addition one or two Surveyors and a Government appointed Pollution Inspector will remian onboard as well. Suitable and adequate accommodation shall be provided for them onboard the vessel.

Both SBM berths are fitted with a white light, flashing Morse (U) every 15 seconds with a range of 2.6nm, and a radar reflector. The LPG FSO is fitted with a Racon beacon exhibiting Morse Code letter "B" on 3cm radar. A fairway lighted buoy is moored approx 1.74nm SW of the Berth Operations Platform (BOP) .

Under no circumstances are engine repairs or the immobilisation of the main engines permitted within the terminal limits. It is worth noting that groups of individuals have been known to attack the oil pipelines in the vicinity of the offshore facilities. There is a restricted area which surrounds the two SBM's as well as the LPG FSO. Under no circumstances should vessels enter this area without prior permission. Severe caution must be advised as there are several platforms in ruins that are located 3nm S of the Berth Operations Platform. The ruins are roughly 5m above sea level and form poor radar targets.

Tidal range approx 1.5m. The currents in the vicinity of the berths varies frequently in strength and direction, which can cause a vessel to yaw significantly, with a max rate of approx 1.5kts.

Normally two tugs (bollard pull 30t) will assist in berthing the vessel.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly. Weather conditions are generally favourable, but may deteriorate during May-Nov, the rainy season.

Vessels loading at the Escravos Terminal must comply with the latest SOLAS, Marpol and other IMO Conventions and Protocols. Vessels found to be seriously deficient will not be allowed to berth or load cargo at the terminal. The vessel Master must advise the CNL Senior Mooring Master of the following: ..... 1. Vessel can maintain 30% SDWT with a min forward draught of 5.0m throughout. 2. Vessel can load and deballast concurrently. 3. Inert Gas system is operational and tanks have less than 8% oxygen (Mooring Master will check tanks on boarding). 4.
