Brofjorden (SEBRO)

The port has the capacity to refine 10,000,000t of crude oil annually, almost two thirds of Swedish oil consumption. Oil products produced include: Butane, propane, naphtha, gasoline, diesel, fuel oil 1, vacuum gas oil and normal and low sulphur heavy fuel oils. There are 5 tanker berths all equipped with loading hard arms. The harbour facilities are under the control of Preemraff Lysekil. The Port of Brofjorden is controlled from the City of Sodertalje. The berths are open for day and night navigation, allowing vessels to enter and leave at any hour when weather conditions permit. The harbour is kept open throughout the year with icebreaker assistance when required.

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

Brofjorden Harbour is situated near Lysekil, on the W coast of Sweden, in the Skagerrak.

Max draught 25m, LOA 230m, beam 23m, 500,000DWT.

Approx 1,200 vessels visit the port and 11,000,000t of cargo handled annually.

Particulars regarding the anchorage are given by the pilot station on VHF Ch 16 or 11, "VTS Marstrand". An anchorage for ULCC's and VLCC's has been established within 0.8nm of 58° 11.0'N 011°11.0'E, in depths of more then 50m.

Brofjorden is approached from seaward through Malmofjord by one or two channels: Main Channel, from SW, which passes SE of Brondebrotten (58°18.0'N 011° 17.0'E). This is the deepest and widest channel. Secondary Channel, from W, which passes N of Brondebrotten. Maximum vessel draught 8.0m. The entrance channel is from SW, passing between Lindholmen (58°19.4'N 011° 23.0'E) and Kavra, 0.5nm WNW. Main Channel directions (Outer approach from SW): From an initial position (58° 14.0'N 011°10.0'E), close NE of the pilot boarding station for VLCC's, the channel leads NE for about 6.0nm on the alignment (050.5°) of Lindhomlen Mellerstra Light and Fiskebacksvik pilot lookout tower. The NW channel limit is marked by Lindholmen Vastra Light and Lindhomlen Mellerstra Light in line (051°). The SE channel limit is marked by Lindholmen Ostra Light. And Lindhomlen Mellerstra Light in line (049.5°). Inner approach from SW: From a position 200m SE of Dynabrott Light the track continues NE on the alignment (046°) of Stretudden Leading Lights for 2.7nm. When Strudden Nedre Light is distant 1.3nm, the course is altered to follow the recommended track (buoyed) into the harbour. Secondary channel: From an initial position, 58°18.5'N 011°13.0'E, the track leads E for 4nm within the white sector (085.5°-088.5°) of Svensholmen Light (or on the alignment (087°) of Svensholmen Light and Ramsvik Beacon). When Svensholmen Light is distant 0.7nm the track is altered NE to follow the inner approach as above.

Mooring boats: Mooring boats are available for handling of mooring lines. Mooring arrangements: It is of the utmost importance for safe operation that ships are securely moored and maintained in the correct position at all times. The Master shall ensure that his vessel's moorings are closely watched and tended as required to prevent undue movement of the vessel. Ensure that all moorings on self tension winches are secured with winch brakes in locked position. Use of self tension winches in automatic position is strictly forbidden. All mooring lines going in the same direction shall be of the same type and have the same working strength. All mooring wires shall have rope tail ends with minimum working strength as the wires. The berths are open for day and night navigation, allowing vessels to enter and leave at any hour, weather permitting. Mooring at the Crude Oil Jetty: Vessels are normally moored port-side to the jetty. Approach speed is continuously monitored on a display at the jetty during the berthing operation. Communications between jetty/pilot/tugs and mooring boats by VHF. Under normal weather conditions 6 tugs representing approx 23,000hp are used for berthing of VLCC's. In poor weather conditions more tugs can be ordered. Tugs are also used at departure. Preemraff Lysekil can at all times order the ship to use extra tugs. Max wind velocity during berthing is 29kts and minimum sight distance is 1.5nm. For departure from crude oil jetty minimum sight distance is 1.0nm. Nineteen mooring lines are required for safe mooring of VLCC's. All lines to be provided by the ship. Vessels not using mooring point No 6 shall have 5 lines to mooring point No 5. Mooring lines to be arranged in accordance with the mooring sketch that is available or as close to it as possible. Quick release hooks of 150t SWL each are used for all mooring lines. Operation of these hooks is only to be done by Preemraff Lysekil personnel. All mooring points (except spring lines) have a signal light. When the light is red the vessel must not tighten the mooring lines. When the light is green the vessel is permitted to tighten the mooring lines. Mooring at the Product Jetty: Escort towing is compulsory for product vessels exceeding 20,000DWT in any loaded condition. Those vessels should have a minimum visibility of 1.5nm at arrival and 1nm at departure. At wind speeds equal to or higher than 29kts (on average), use of a tug is compulsory during berthing as follows: ..... 1. For ships equipped with bow thruster and 15,000DWT. 2. For ships without bow thruster and 7,000DWT. Communication between ship and jetty during berthing operations by VHF. Berths No 2 and 5 are equipped with quick release hooks for mooring lines. Berths No 1 and 4 are equipped with fixed bollards. all mooring lines to be provided by the ship. During strong wind conditions Preemraff Lysekil can order use of tug boat for mooring operations. Vacating of berth: Preemraff Lysekil have the right to request a vessel to vacate the crude berth when berth time for such vessels reaches 48 running hours, provided the retention of such vessel at its berth will, in Preemraff Lysekil's judgement, hinder or delay the berthing of another vessel. Running hours shall commence upon the vessel's arrival and completion of mooring and shall cease when the last rope is off. If commencement of unloading is delayed for any reason not caused by vessel or its Master or the unloading is prohibited and/or interrupted at the request of Preemraff Lysekil or public authorities, running hours shall be extended by the period of such prohibition or interruption unless the reason is due to circumstances for which the vessel or its Master are responsible. The costs for time exceeding 48 hours will be charged to the ship.

Pilotage is compulsory. The pilots act both as sea pilots and harbour pilots. Pilot ordering should normally be carried out via the e-Services section on the Swedish Maritime Administration website, http://www.sjofartsverket.se, in conjunction with the reporting on the Vessel Reporting System (FRS) section. A preliminary Pilot request must be made via the FRS at least 24hrs in advance. A definitive Pilot request must then be made via the FRS at least 5hrs in advance. In exceptional cases, the Pilot may be ordered via e-mail, telephone, or VHF. ..... Pilotage is compulsory for the following: 1. All category 1 vessels 2. Category 2 vessels of LOA 90m, 16m beam and above 3. Category 3 vessels of LOA 90m, 16m beam and over Two pilots are required for vessels larger than 60,000GT, LOA 260m or beam 40m.

In addition, information will be provided on possible faults to aids to navigation, passage limitation, ice conditions and other relevant information.

There are two tugs, one of which is always available. When a vessel larger than 60,000DWT is at the crude oil berth, two tugs are always made available. Use of tugs is compulsory for berthing and unberthing at the crude oil jetty and depending on the weather conditions and type of vessel, it may be compulsory for berthing at the product jetties. Use of tugs is compulsory for berthing/unberthing of LPG ships without bow thruster and controllable pitch propeller. Escort Tugs: Escort towing is compulsory for all crude vessels and for product vessels exceeding 20,000DWT, in any loaded condition, from the pilot boarding point through the channel. Use of tugs is also compulsory for ships with any malfunction in their normal manoeuvring equipment, i.e. main engine, steering engine, bow thruster among others. When using tug, use of pilot is compulsory, except for vessels with exemption from pilot requirements.At vessel's arrival escort towing shall start at the Outer Approach Buoy. At vessel's departure, escort towing shall proceed to Buoys No 1 and 2. One tug with bollard pull of approx 50t is stationed in Brofjorden. Additional tugs are available. The tugs are equipped for fire fighting. Only towing companies approved by Preemraff Lysekil are entitled to assist vessels. Vessel using escort tug have to comply with the latest version of OCIMF's "Recommendations for ships fittings for the use with tugs with particular reference to Escorting and other high load operations". Amended regulations for escort towage have come into effect at Brofjorden: The regulations state that vessels that are required to have an escort tug must, if not in compliance with OCIMF's recommendations for SWL on fairlead & bollard, have double escort tugs even on their first call. Previously vessels' first call were exempted from these regulations. Minimum SWL required remain as follows: For crude oil tankers: 20,000 - 49,999DWT - min 100t 50,000DWT and above - min 200t For product tankers (in loaded condition only): 20,000 - 49,999DWT - min 100t 50,000DWT and above - min 200t.

Prevailing winds: W to NE'ly. Weather forecasts and reports are given by the Storm Weather Centre. Sea state information is broadcast by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, SMHI. The fairway and harbour areas are normally ice free, no winter surcharge applicable.

Pilotage and ship to ship Notification: All arriving ships with the intention not to use a pilot shall announce its arrival to "Marstrand Pilot" on VHF Ch 11 at the Brofjorden Entrance Buoy. Ships leaving the jetty with the intention not to use a pilot shall contact "Lysekil Pilot" on VHF Ch 11 (or 10) before departure for an announcement and ask for information about incoming traffic. In the case of an incoming vessel, the departing ship shall contact this vessel and keep in contact until the ships have passed and are clear of each other. A portable radio hand set is supplied by Preemraff Lysekil to the vessel for use during loading/discharging operations. A receipt will be required. The radio is to be used for normal contacts between vessel and jetty operator/Harbour office during operations and for notification of an emergency condition. The radio used at Product Jetties is also equipped with an "emergency stop" function. The radio must be returned to the Loading Master when the documents are delivered onboard. Handling of emergency stop and communication radio: Product Jetties: The radio should always be carried by the Officer in Charge. For emergency stop, the red button should be pressed for 3 sec. All loading stops and a signal goes to the central unit in the terminal control room. After acknowledgement on the central unit a series of tones will be heard on the stop radio. Crude Oil Jetty: At the Crude Oil Jetty the same radio system as for the Product Jetties is used for emergency stop of bunkering and the radio should always be carried by the Officer in Charge for the bunkering operations. For communication between ship and jetty operator the radio is of a VHF type and uses one of the normal channels (Ch 06). The channel selector on the radio is preset and should not be changed. Ship types that will be accepted at Brofjorden Harbour: All ships shall comply with IMO and Terminal regulations. All ships calling at the Terminal must confirm that they are fully ITF approved (or corresponding agreement). The agreement should be acceptable to the Swedish Seaman's Union. The following ship types can be accepted: ..... 1. Conventional crude carriers up to 500,000DWT. Min length 200m. 2. Liquefied gas carriers with max LOA 100m. 3. Product carriers with max LOA 230m. All ships should on arrival be equipped with reducers suitable for actual loading arms. Note: The "International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT)". should be available onboard. LPG vessels shall also have onboard latest edition of "Liquefied Gas Handling Principles on Ships and in Terminals". All ships should at arrival be equipped with reducers suitable to actual loading/vapour return arms. The ships vapour return system shall be in working order and ready for connection to the jetty vapour return system. Ships must comply with the rules that are imposed by the ISPS code (International Ships and Port Facility Security Code). All ships' personnel shall, when on the jetty area, have a valid identification document. This also applies to all visitors to the ship.All ships calling at Brofjorden Harbour shall have double hull and must not be older than 25 years. Only closed loading will be accepted. Refusal to enter port: Preemraff Lysekil have the right to refuse any vessel entry into the port if the vessel: ..... 1. Is known to have caused oil pollution, whether because of faulty equipment, unqualified personnel or otherwise. 2. Has for any reason, attributable to the vessel, its equipment or personnel, previously been unable to load or discharge its cargo within an acceptable period of time and such deficiencies have not been corrected. For such refusal to be effective, notice thereof must be given to the vessel's operator or agent immediately following the vessel's nomination. Berthing, shifting, etc: Berths are allocated by Preemraff Lysekil. Should no berth be available, incoming vessels will be requested to anchor at an anchorage allocated by the pilot station. The berthing operation will be supervised by Preemraff Lysekil personnel. It is the responsibility of the Master to make himself aware, through Preemraff Lysekil or the pilot station, of the depth of water at the allotted berth, mooring and anchorage. Before arrival at the quay all mooring ropes, heaving lines, stoppers, etc required for mooring shall be ready for immediate use and also a sufficient number of crew shall be available during the mooring operation. All mooring points, except at Jetties No 1 and 4, are equipped with quick release hooks for a swift departure in case of danger. Operation of these hooks is only to be undertaken by Preemraff Lysekil personnel. Vessels arriving at or leaving the harbour must be assisted by tugs if requested by Preemraff Lysekil. At the Crude Oil Jetty the use of tugs is compulsory both on arrival and on departure from the jetty. Only towing companies approved by Preemraff Lysekil are entitled to assist vessels arriving at or departing the port. Vessels approaching the port or at anchor shall communicate with Preemraff Lysekil or tugs by means of VHF radio. When vessels are moored, anchored or moved, care must be taken to ensure that no damage is caused to other vessels or to quays, jetties, cables, pipelines or the like and that there is no interference with traffic. Vessels berthed alongside a quay may not be moored by means of their anchors without the express permission of Preemraff Lysekil. Preemraff Lysekil have the right, due to traffic control or harbour discipline and safety, to issue any necessary orders and instructions concerning the mooring, anchoring, warping and movement of vessels and the Masters of vessels shall be required to comply with any order or instruction thus issued. Gangway: All vessels arriving to the Product Jetty shall provide and tend a safe gangway for access to and from the pier (at the crude jetty a gangway tower is available). A safety net must be installed underneath the gangway extending from the ship's rail to the shore end of the gangway. Operational procedures: Loading/discharging will not commence until the safety checks have been carried out to the satisfaction of the Preemraff Lysekil representative and the Master or the officer in charge. ..... 1. The jetty operator will be responsible for connecting the loading/discharging hard arms to the vessel's manifold as indicated by the ship's officer in charge. 2. The jetty operator and the ship's officer in charge must agree that systems are correctly lined up before operations can begin. 3. Loading/discharging operations will be closely watched from the Harbour Office and/or by the jetty operator. 4. During loading, special care should be taken in the so called "topping off" operation of the various tanks. The officer in charge shall be in close contact with the person operating the valve regulating the flow to the respective tanks. 5. The max pressure on the hard arms is 10 bar (max pressure LPG arms = 18 bar). When loading/discharging commences, the pumping pressure should only be increased to the max at a very slow rate. During this operation the manifold must be checked for leakage. If the arms or couplings appear not to be tight, the pumping must be interrupted. 6. Apart from emergency conditions, the vessel must give at least 15 minutes notice to the jetty operator or to the Harbour Office before completion of loading or completion of any separate batch. When ready to stop loading, the jetty operator or the Harbour Office should again be notified, but it should be noted that at least 3 minutes will elapse from the time of giving the final stop signal until the flow of oil stops completely. 7. Drip pans must be placed underneath manifold connections on deck. After loading/discharging, cargo arms must be drained back into a tank onboard so that no oil remains in the arms when they are being disconnected. This must be done in conjunction with the jetty staff, who will open the drain valve in each line and allow air to vent the line to displace the oil in the booms. Using air or other gas to blow the loading, bunker or ballast line after operation is not allowed. 8. An independent surveyor will witness the ship's ullage, water dip, temperatures, sampling and quantity loaded/discharged according to ship figures. 9. Preferably the ship must give notice, as mentioned in "6" above, to the jetty operator or harbour officer before any shutdown operation is carried out. Conditions to be observed during operation: A responsible member of the ship's crew must be stationed near the ship's main oil cargo control valves during loading and discharging, equipped with a Preemraff Lysekil portable radio hand set. ..... 1. The vessel must, by day, fly flag "B" of the International Code of Signals (Interco), and by night exhibit an all round red light. 2. All doors, portholes and openings leading from the main deck to the accommodation or machinery spaces (other than the pump room) shall be kept closed. The same applies to doors, portholes and openings at any deck level above the main deck, which overlooks that deck. 3. All manually operated ventilators through which gas can enter, shall be suitably trimmed to prevent such entry. If there is a risk of gas being drawn into the accommodation, mechanical ventilators and air conditioning units should be stopped or made to recirculate the air. 4. All cargo tank lids should be kept closed and secured and all cargo and bunker hose connections should be blanked and fully bolted when not in use. 5. The venting of cargo tanks shall take place only through the vessel's fixed venting system. 6. Loading should take place under "closed loading" conditions. Sighting and ullage ports must be kept closed. They may, however, after permission from Loading Master be opened momentarily for taking samples or ullage/temperature in the event of failure of remote tank gauging equipment. If a product with a flash point below 22°C has been loaded, gas masks should be used when sighting or ullage ports are opened. 7. If, for any reason, there is an unusual evolution and/or accumulation of gas, loading should be stopped or the loading rate into a particular tank or tanks should be reduced at the discretion of either the Loading Master or the responsible ship's officer. 8. Overboard suction and discharge valves connected to the cargo or bilge system should be sealed on arrival. Except in emergency, seals may be removed only with the approval of the Loading Master and in his presence. Attention must be paid to ensure that oil does not leak through such valves. 9. The mechanical ventilation system of the cargo pump room shall be kept in operation, and the atmosphere within the pump room shall maintain a quality that permits safe entry. Weather precautions: Operations should be stopped during severe electrical storms and all cargo valves and valves in the gas line riser should be closed. During periods of high winds and on the instruction of the Loading Master, operations should be stopped and loading/discharging arms disconnected. Repair and Maintenance - Hot Work: No repair or maintenance (hot work - i.e. airdriven nut tightener, chipping, welding, use of electrical tools etc) is allowed when the vessel is alongside the jetty unless written permit is obtained from Preemraff Lysekil Loading Master. This applies to all areas of the vessel where flammable atmosphere is likely to be found (normally the cargo deck). For other areas of the vessel, the Master can issue working permit, allow use of naked lights and open fire according to the vessel's internal safety rules. Use of ships crane is not allowed during cargo operation. Repairs and other work which may immobilise the vessel must not be commenced without prior approval in writing from Preemraff Lysekil. Permit will only be granted for "emergency repairs". The vessel's funnels must be equipped with effective spark arrestors. Soot blowing and excessive funnel smoking is prohibited and immediate steps must be taken to eliminate sparking from funnels. In all cases adequate fire fighting equipment must be ready for immediate use.
