Two mooring boats are used to send out lines ashore. Important notices: ..... All mooring equipment and lines must be in top working condition. Synthetic tails without proper connections or spliced mooring lines are not allowed. Mixed moorings are occasionally acceptable as long as they are not used in the same direction or points. While manoeuvring for berthing at IRPC Terminal, it is essential that the vessel's engine performs promptly and accurately. Self tension winches fitted with automatic rendering and hauling, should not be used in automatic mode while the vessel is moored. This is because they may not always hold in position while at berth. Vessel's Mooring Condition: ..... It is the ship's responsibility to maintain a safe mooring at the berth at all times. The tension of mooring lines must be tight, and they must be fastened to the satisfaction of the berthing master or the loading master. Any unsafe mooring equipment or conditions will result in discontinued cargo operations and possible loading arm disconnection. The loss and cost of loading arms disconnection will be for ship's account. The offshore anchor is always required while approaching the berth. In the event of an unsafe mooring situation created by ships negligence or by weather conditions, tug(s) might be necessary for assistance as deemed necessary by the loading master. The designated ship agent must utilise their assigned tug for the operation of vessels arrival/departure at IRPC wharf under the close control of the assigned pilot.

Pilotage is compulsory. Pilot boards and disembarks by tug near the Entrance Buoy. The Master should contact the pilot via VHF for details of manoeuvring speed and boarding side. When the pilot boards an inward bound vessel, he will present the Master with a letter, "Instructions to Vessels and Conditions of Use of all Berths at IRPC Rayong Port". The Master is required to sign the letter, acknowledging receipt and agreeing to the instructions and conditions contained therein, prior to entry to the port. No vessel will be allowed to proceed into the port until the letter has been signed.

The port limits are contained within the following positions: ..... 1. 12°38.5'N 101°18.8'E 2. 12°36.0'N 101°18.8'E 3. 12°36.0'N 101°17.0'E 4. 12°39.2'N 101°17.0'E

Wind speed limitation for loading arm operation: As a safety operation procedure, when the terminal wind indicator indicates the wind is blowing at 35kts or more from any direction or, depending on ship/shore judgement, the terminal will take the following precautions: ..... Inform vessels personnel to be alert on moorings. Stop discharging/loading. Drain loading arm. Disconnect loading arm. The limitation is to ensure that the disconnection of loading arms will be completed before the wind speed reaches the maximum limitation for operating the loading arms (40kts). Cargo Operations Requirements and Restrictions: The following requirements and restrictions must be strictly complied with during discharge at IRPC terminal: ..... 1. Ensure that no water is pumped out into shorelines. All ship sea suction valves must be closed and sealed before discharge. 2. Ship dirty ballasting is not allowed during discharge except in an emergency in anticipation of high wind gusts. However, in such a situation dirty ballasting should be undertaken only after obtaining agreement from the loading master.

There is no requirement for the Master or agent to order tugs at Rayong IRPC Terminal. The Berthing Master (under Port Management) will arrange tugs and pilot for all vessels calling at the port. For berthing, unberthing and emergency standby, the minimum tug requirement is: ..... Vessel LOA or Deadweight For Operations For Stand-by Less than 137m 1 1 137-172m 2 1 Greater than 172m 3 2 Greater than 100,000DWT 3 2 Greater than 200,000DWT 5 3 250,000-299,999DWT 6 4 300,000-349,999DWT 7 5 Greater than 350,000DWT 8 6
