Tjeldbergodden (NOTBO)

The port consists of one product jetty of 78m for handling methanol. The methanol plant is the largest in Europe, when it was first opened. It was the first time natural gas had been used on a large scale for industrial production in Norway.

North Atlantic Winter Zone II Winter: Nov 6 - Mar 31 Summer: Apr 1 - Oct 31

Tjeldbergodden is situated between Kristiansund and Trondheim in the county of More og Romsdal.

Max LOA 190m, draught 7.9m, 54,000DWT.

Vessels awaiting a berth will be anchored off Tyrhaug Lighthouse (63°18.7'N 008°13.7'E) or Freifojorden (63°02'N 007°52'E) In special circumstances it may be determined to anchor at Hemnefjorden N of Tjeldbergodden.

BA 2306, Norwegian No 37. Admiralty Pilot NP57B, NP283(1).

In normal circumstances all vessels will berth port side to the product jetty. Deviation from this plan must be agreed in advance with Equinor. The product jetty is fitted with quick release mooring hooks that may be operated locally or from the main control room. The product jetty has a mooring arrangement consisting of 16 x 100t (nominal) mooring hooks arranged in 8 bollard positions. The bollard positions have capstans. The module jetty consist of 8 mooring hooks along the wharf side and 4 along the wall side. It is of vital importance that vessels are securely moored and maintained in the desired position. It is important that master monitor the vessel to prevent undue movement and all mooring on self tensioning winches are secured with winch brake in locked position. The use of self tensioning winches in automatic mode is strictly forbidden. All mooring wires shall have rope tails and connected with a proper mooring link. Wires and ropes should not be mixed in the same direction. All vessels, while secured alongside the product jetty must provide a rig towing wire with sufficient length and strength on seaward bow and quarter, with eyes maintained just above the water level. The wires must be securely fastened to the vessel's bollards.The master should consider necessary mooring at the Module jetty, depending on weather conditions. .....

Pilotage is compulsory. Pilotage should be ordered using SafeSeaNet but may be ordered through Kvitsoy Pilot Booking Center at an additional cost. The pilot boards about 1.6km NNW of Grip Light. Vessels should contact the Kristainsund pilot station on VHF channel 16 about 2 hours prior to arrival at the pilot boarding position. Vessels that call on VHF channel 16 will be connected to the Kvitsoy Pilot Booking Center via Floro Coast Radio Station or Rogaland Coast Radio Station if the station does not respond. Product tankers should send their ETA via their agent 72 hours prior to arrival. Confirmations should be sent 48 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours prior to arrival. Any changes to the ETA must be sent immediately.

The harbour area consists of the two jetties and the total area inside the safety zone. The safety zone is defined as the area inside the following points: Based on Rognannes Light (63°23.0'N 008°39.5'E); from a position 016° by 1.8nm in a direction 360° by 200m, then 036° by 680m then 090° by 950m then 159° to the shore in position 035° by 2.3nm from Rognannes Light.

The port is surrounded by a safety zone. On the seaward side all vessels and pleasure craft traffic are forbidden with the exception of vessels calling at the Methanol Plant and fishing vessels. Wind limitations: Master and terminal should pay attention to the wind limitations for safety during arrival, loading and departure operations. Below is a guide line only: ..... Vessels up to 12,000DWT: Are not allowed to go alongside the product jetty when the wind force exceeds 35kts or when the wave height exceeds 1.0m. Vessels from 12,000DWT to 24,000DWT: Are not allowed to go alongside the product jetty when the wind force exceeds 30ktsm/s or when the wave height exceeds 1.0m. Vessels from 24,000DWT to 43,000DWT: Are not allowed to go alongside the product jetty when the wind force exceeds 25kts or when the wave heights exceeds 1.5m. Loading operations are to be stopped for all vessels when the wind force exceeds 45kts or wave height exceeds 1.5m. The loading arm will be disconnected if weather conditions increase more than stated above. If necessary, the vessel will be prepared for departure or be secured alongside the jetty with extra mooring ropes.

Height difference between spring middle high tide and spring middle low tide is 2.1m, and the difference between middle high tide and middle low tide is 1,6m. In the main, currents are mainly parallel with the berth with a rate of approx 2kts.

No vessel is permitted to enter the Equinor Tjeldbergodden harbour area unless authorised to do so by the terminal. Product tankers have first priority. When tankers are carrying out manoeuvres in connection with arrival/departure, no other vessels movements are permitted inside the seaward safety zone until that vessel is safely moored alongside the jetty or is unmoored and has left the safety zone outbound.

Use of a tug is compulsory for vessels over 6,000GT. Regular visitors with a bow thruster and/or specially effective rudder arrangement may be permitted to berth without the use of a tug. Vessels calling at the product jetty without tug assistance, must before berthing perform a realistic back manoeuvre in order to ensure that the vessel is able to move into reverse satisfactorily.

Prevailing winds are SW. In summer, winds from the NE and E may be frequent. The strongest winds will occur from W and SW. Currents: Currents in the vicinity of the product jetty will vary according to wind and tide. Flow is parallel to the jetty with a flow of up to 2kts. Extreme weather condition: Loading or ballast operations shall be stopped during severe electrical storms and all cargo valves in the gas line closed. If there is no air movement and gas persist around the deck in heavy concentration, loading shall be suspended until the gases have dispersed.
