The three SBM's are connected by pipeline to the Berth Operation Platform (BOP) which is located in position 4°14.2'N., 008°02.4'E whilst the shore tanks and terminal are located at 4°20'N., 007°59'E. The oil field was discovered in 1962 and is expected to reach its economic limit in 2036. Special request can be made for the addition of PPD however the terminal must receive this instructions three weeks prior to the supply laydays. A small jetty in the Qua Iboe River estuary is used to accommodate supply boats with a max draught of 2.0m.

Vessels loading will be boarded by a company Mooring Master either at the anchorage or where directed. The Mooring Master will advise the ship's Master in regard to the approaches to the berth and the mooring, unmooring, connecting and disconnecting of the hoses, departure from the berth and loading operations. The ship's Master will, at all times retain full responsibility for the vessel and for the operations in which it is involved.

Compulsory and pilots act as mooring masters. Pilots board vessels either in the anchorage area or 2.17nm SE of the Berth Operations Platform (4°14.2'N 008° 02.4'E). Pilots require the following information: ..... 1. ETA at pilot station. 2. Time of Notice of Readiness (NOR). 3. Boarding arrangement for officials. 4. Propeller immersion. 5. Portside crane or derrick to be ready for cargo gear basket. 6. Any defects.

Operation platform is equipped with a racon (K) (4°13.40'N., 008°02.47'E).

Vessels approaching the anchorage must do so with caution, having due regard for the numerous submarine pipelines and offshore structures that exist in the vicinity. Vessels must anchor only in the designated safe anchorage area 5nm SE of the operation platform. Vessels bound for Qua Iboe Terminal should proceed with extreme caution from the SE to the safe anchorage area. If uncertain of the vessel's position, because of poor visibility, stay SE and clear of the safe anchorage area until visibility has improved.Immobilising of main engines is not permitted. It has been reported that on the rare occasion, winds up to 60kts may impact the terminal and can be accompanied by heavy rain, thunder and lightning. It can be unpredictable in both force and direction.

Range 1.8m.

Three 35t bollard pull line handling tugs are available. One will remain secured to the stern of export tankers throughout loading.

Prevailing winds: During the rainy season SW'ly. Adverse weather conditions may be encountered during the rainy season (May-Nov) and strong cross currents are possible.
