Yetagun FSO Marine Terminal (XZYET)

"Yetagun FSO" is a converted tanker moored by a bow turret system. Export vessels moor in tandem to the stern of the FSO to transfer condensate cargoes via a floating hose. The terminal is no longer operational. Information is retained should the status of the terminal change.

Seasonal Tropical.

Yetagun FSO Marine Terminal is located SSE of Yangon (Rangoon), in the Andaman Sea.

No draught restrictions, max BCM 150m, 120,000DWT (recommended reduced to 88,000DWT during SW monsoon, May to Oct).

The terminal does not recommend an anchorage and advises vessels to wait off and drift clear of the terminal at a minimum distance of 5nm. Strong tidal currents of up to 5kts can be experienced in the area and drifting export tankers are advised to maintain engines and propulsion machinery at short notice.

BA 824, 830, 3624. Admiralty Pilot NP21.

Mooring operations are carried out in daylight only and are not started later than 3 hours before sunset to allow sufficient time to complete berthing operations in daylight.

Pilotage is compulsory. The pilot station is located 3nm E of the terminal in position 13°03.5'N 096°48.0'E.

The terminal limits enclose a Safety Zone, which is established for operational safety and terminal control. The area is contained within two circles of a radius of 5nm, one centered on the Yetagun Production Platforms and the other centered on the Yetagun FSO Marine Terminal. The Yetagun Platforms are located 1.3nm SE of the terminal.

As a general guide mooring operations will be suspended when the significant wave height is more than 2m and wind speeds exceed 20kts. Export tankers may be required to disconnect and proceed to a safe area outside the safety zone when any or all of the following conditions are present or predicted: ..... a) Wave height more than 3.4m b) Wind more than 30kts c) Current more than 2kts d) A load monitoring unit continuously monitors the hawser tension. If the conditions are such that peak 'snatch' loads exceed 100t, 3 times in 1 hour, or a single load of 150t, then offloading operations should be suspended and consideration given to disconnection. For export tankers in the range of 88,000DWT to 120,000SDWT, the operational limits shall be reduced. Tankers in this range may be required to disconnect and proceed to a safe area outside the safety zone when any or all of the following conditions are present or predicted: ..... a) Wave height more than 2.8m b) Wind more than 25kts c) Current more than 1.5kts d) A load monitoring unit continuously monitors the hawser tension. If the are such that peak 'snatch' loads exceed 80t, 3 times in 1 hour, or a single load of 100t, then offloading operations should be suspended and consideration given to disconnection.

A Terminal Support Vessel (TSV) is made fast to the stern of export tanker on static tow throughout the offloading operation.
