Sture Oil Terminal (NOSTU)

The terminal is owned by a consortium of companies and is operated by Equinor. It comprises two jetties for the handling of crude oil and LPG tankers. Jetty No 1 is designated to handle crude oil vessels between 30,000-300,000DWT. Jetty No 2 handles vessels up to 300,000DWT and has undergone some conversion to also handle LPG vessels of 15,000DWT and over. Vessels under 15,000DWT have to be pre-approved by the terminal.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

The Sture Oil Terminal is located at Oseberg OST field in the northern part of North Sea.

Max LOA 338.95m, draught 23m, beam 60.0m, 300,000DWT.

Approx 24,100,000t of cargo and 200 vessels handled annually.

There is no safe anchorage in the vicinity of the terminal. If the jetties are occupied, arriving vessels must wait outside the pilot station. Further particulars may be obtained from the pilot station.

Two approach channels with very deep water give good access to the Sture Terminal. The main approaches are through Fedjeosen S of Fedje and N of Holmengra.

Two mooring boats are available for handling of mooring lines. Mooring facilities: The loading platforms and mooring dolphins are equipped with mooring hooks and pulleys. The hooks and pulleys have quick release facilities and capstans to haul in mooring lines. The release can be undertaken locally or from the control room. The jetties mooring systems comprise: ..... 1. Wind and sea current sensors, detecting speed and direction. 2. Berthing aid system monitoring the tanker's approach velocity, distance to jetty and angle of approach during the final stages of berthing. Max approach velocity 0.1m/s Max approach angle 7° 3. Mooring gear sensors to detect mooring line loads. 4. Measurement of tanker surge movements and sway (roll) when loading arms are connected. 5. Closed circuit TV cameras. 6. Area radar display. 7. VHF/UHF radios. 8 Green and red mooring lights installed on both jetties. All data from the monitoring systems is displayed in the control room. Berthing aid data is available when the vessel is approx 100m from the jetty. Mooring arrangements: When mooring alongside the jetty, a vessel must communicate with the terminal by means of a UHF radio handset provided by the terminal. It is of the utmost importance that all vessels are securely moored and maintained in position. Min mooring requirement is 16 mooring lines of which at least 10 must be permanently installed on mooring winches/drums. Vessels must be equipped with 2 wire spring lines at each end. For vessels over 200,000DWT during summer season (Apr 1-Sep 30) a min of 16 mooring lines on winches/drums are required with 2 wire spring lines at each end. For vessels over 200,000DWT during winter season (Oct 1 - Mar 31) a min of 20 mooring lines on winches/drums are required with 3 wire spring lines at each end. The master must ensure that his vessel's moorings are closely monitored to prevent undue movement of the vessel. Moorings on self tensioning winches must be secured with winch brakes in the locked position. Use of self tensioning winches in automatic position is strictly forbidden. All moorings leading in the same direction must be of the same type, either all wire or all rope and have the same working strength. All mooring wires shall have rope tail ends with min safe working strength as the wires. Safety towing wires: While secured alongside the jetty vessels must provide permanently rigged towing wires with sufficient length and strength. These must be positioned on the seaward bow and quarter with eyes positioned just above the water ready for immediate towing. The wires must be securely attached to the vessel's bollards.

Vessels unable to make position reports on VHF must make contact by other means of communication. The Traffic Centre can implement action to prevent damage by restricting a vessels entry into the Operational Area. Before anchoring, vessels must obtain permission from the Traffic Centre. For reasons of safety the Traffic Centre can order vessels to anchor, to move anchorage and to utilise tugs, or increase the number of tugs than would normally be required. If the visibility in parts of the operational area is less than 1nm, the Traffic Centre can hold back vessels carrying dangerous or pollutant cargoes. Vessels have a duty to report anything likely to affect safety or may be considered necessary for safe and effective traffic control. This requirement applies from the time a vessel requests permission to enter the Operational Area and until the time it leaves the Operational Area. Traffic regulations: No vessel, regardless of size, is permitted to move inside the Sture harbour area unless authorised by the terminal.

Tugs are available for berthing/unberthing operations. Two mooring boats are available for the handling of mooring lines. When tugs or authorised craft are alongside or assisting a vessel, all cargo system openings must be closed unless all tanks are gas free. Tugs to be used in accordance with the following rules: ..... 1. 1 tug for vessels under 15,000mі , arrival and departure. 2. 2 tugs for LPG vessels between 15,000-35,000mі, arrival and departure. 3. 3 tugs for LPG vessels over 35,000mі on arrival and 2 tugs on departure. 4. 2 tugs for shuttle tankers with thrusters on arrival, 1 tug on departure. 5. 3 tugs for vessels up to 180,000DWT on arrival, 2 tugs on departure. 6. 3 tugs for vessels over 180,000DWT on arrival, 3 tugs on departure.
