Dock Security Guidelines for Personnel and Vessels

The following guidelines set forth by Valero St. Charles require that all personnel requesting access to
any Valero dock shall be cleared through Security at the Security Central Building located at the corner
of Prospect Ave. and River Rd. in Norco, LA. This includes all shipping agents and vessel visitors
whether inland or sea-going. Below outlines the proper procedures that vessels and visitors will follow to
comply with the Valero-St. Charles Refinery Security and federal guidelines set forth by the United
States Coast Guard. No deviation from the document will be considered without the express written
approval of an authorized representative of the Valero-St. Charles Refinery.

listed below if applicable) and await confirmation from the Valero-St. Charles Refinery. This will be
coordinated through the vessel's agent and the Valero Oil Movement Scheduler. Due to changes in
schedules as well as vessel needs, if the pre-arrival package is sent more than three (3) days prior to the
