1. INTRODUCTION AND COMPLIANCE

The CALM Buoy, situated in Guayaguayare Bay and operated by BHPB, is a floating single-
point mooring and off-loading unit and is an integral part of the Terminal. The Terminal has been
developed by the Co-Ventures.
Compliance with the rules, regulations, provisions and standards contained in this Handbook,
including the Terminal Conditions, is mandatory for all persons using the facilities or services of
the Terminal. By entering the Terminal and using its facilities or Terminal Services, the Owners,
despondent owners, demise Charterer’s, Master, ship’s agent, and other like persons, accept
and agree to comply with and be bound by the rules, regulations, provisions and standards
continued in this Handbook. The Master must personally sign the Terminal Conditions before
the Lifting Vessel will be accepted at the Terminal.

2. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
2.1 C.A.L.M. BUOY

The CALM Buoy is a purpose built floating, catenary anchor leg mooring and off-loading
installation permanently moored on location by means of three pairs of anchor chains.
Stabilized export-quality crude oil is transferred to the CALM Buoy by sub-sea pipeline
from the Rust Road Terminal. Crude oil is transferred, via one double carcass floating
hose-string, to Lifting Vessels using two diesel driven single stage centrifugal pumps,
located at the Rust Road Terminal, rated at 2,250 m3 per hour each and giving an
expected maximum loading rate of 25,000 bbl/per hour or 600,00bbl/day.
Calypso Offshore
Loading Terminal
2.2 LOCATION
The CALM Buoy is located on Trinidad’s South East coast situated to the south of the
Rust Road Terminal in Guayaguayare Bay and is about 4.5km offshore, in position:
10o 05’ 05.6’’ N 61o 02 38.6’’ W.

th
2.3 CHART & OCEANOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Guayaguayare Bay area is covered by British Admiralty Charts and referral may be
made to the chart-let on the Page 6, which shows designated anchorage areas,
exclusion zones, and pilot boarding area. N.B. this chart should not be used for
navigational purposes.
The average water depth in the area is approx 27 meters and the nature of the bottom is
predominantly mud and sand which afford good holding ground. Masters of Tankers
using the Terminal should refer to the Admiralty Sailing Directions for the area, and be
guided by the Caribbean Pilot.
2.4 CLIMATE INFORMATION

Winds are predominantly in the northeast to southwest quadrants but may be variable on
and offshore in the summer months.
Masters of Lifting Vessels arriving in Guayaguayare Bay to load from the CALM Buoy are
reminded that due to the exposed position of the buoy, they are to make every effort to
ensure that their Lifting Vessel is in a suitable and seaworthy condition of ballast.
If, in the opinion of the Terminal Operations Team Leader, or the Mooring Master, the
Lifting Vessel is not properly ballasted, then mooring may be delayed until such time as
the situation is rectified by the Master, with all associated costs to the Lifting Vessel ‘s
account.
The tide in the Guayaguayare Bay area is semi-diurnal, providing two high tides and two
low tides per 24-hour period. The Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) recorded is 25.9
meters, the Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) recorded is 27.7 meters therefore the Mean
Sea Level (MSL) is considered to be 26.8 meters. Further water depth calculations
should be made with reference to the Admiralty Tide Tables for Port of Spain.
The swell factor for the Guayaguayare Bay area is generally low. Reference should be
made to the Admiralty Sailing Directions, and the Caribbean Pilot concerning yearly
averages and wave heights.
Maximum Summer Draft for Lifting Vessels is 55’ 0” (16.77m)
• The optimal time of mooring is 0600. Localized wind and sea conditions tend to strengthen
as the day progresses.
• Mooring shall only occur during the hours of daylight, but may at the Terminal’s discretion,
take place at other times.
• In all cases, the decision to berth the lifting vessel will rest with the Terminal Operation Team
Leader in consultation with the Mooring Master and final approval given by the Operations
Field Manager.
• To make certain that Mooring Operations do not exceed daylight hours, mooring operations
will begin no later than 1500hrs.
• Where mooring is required to take place outside of daylight hours, a Case to Operate shall
be completed by the Terminal Operations Team Leader and approved by the relevant BHPB
approving authority.

2.5 MOORING/UNMOORING CRITERIA

The weather conditions prior to and during a Lifting Vessel’s mooring operation, will be
closely monitored and the Mooring Master may, if the limiting criteria for mooring /
unmooring are approached, decide to suspend mooring operations. In the event of
deteriorating weather conditions during a mooring operation, the Mooring Master may
abort the operation if he feels the safety of the CALM Buoy and floating hoses may be
compromised. A Lifting Vessel which is moored to the CALM Buoy, whether loading or
not, may be unmoored due to deteriorating conditions at any time. It is at the Mooring
Master’s discretion, in consultation with the Terminal Operations Team Leader, to
suspend operations at any time.
The theoretical maximum criteria for Lifting Vessel’s mooring at the Terminal are:
Wave height: 2.5 meters.
Wind speed: < 22 knots.
Time: within + or -1 hour of slack water, or during a change of tide or current direction.
The theoretical maximum criteria for Lifting Vessel’s unmooring at the Terminal are:
Wave height: 3.0 metres
Wind speed: < 28 knots.
Tension limits.
Lifting Vessel’s will be unmoored if there are three occurrences of a peak mooring-
hawser-tension greater than 90 tonnes force within one hour, or a single occurrence of a
peak mooring-hawser-tension greater than 110 tonnes force.
2.6 ANCHOR AND EXCLUSION ZONES
Lifting Vessel’s shall contact BHP Onshore Terminal on channel 16 approximately 6 - 10

Nm from the CALM buoy location. 10o 05’ 05.6’’ N 61o 02 38.6’’ W. The Terminal will
prompt the vessel to working frequency channel 14. This will be the working frequency
between the Terminal and the Tanker for the remainder of the operation. The Terminal
will instruct the vessel if it is to go to anchor or meet the pilot upon arrival. The Lifting
Vessel will declare it’s MARSEC level to the Onshore Terminal. The vessel’s MARSEC
level will be given to the designated ISPS person, Security Manager Tel number 868-
821-5169 or cell 868-689-5301. Only the Terminal’s OTL (Operations Team Leader) will
relay the Lifting Vessel’s MARSEC level to the designated ISPS person.

5.3 NOTICE OF READINESS
The Lifting Vessel, upon arrival at the anchorage or Normal Sea Pilot Embarkation Area,
may tender its Notice of Readiness (NOR) when the Lifting Vessel is ready in all
respects to load cargo in accordance with this Handbook including the Terminal
Conditions. The Terminal Operations Team Leader will only accept a Lifting Vessel’s
Notice of Readiness when he is satisfied that the Lifting Vessel is ready, in all respects,
for loading at the CALM Buoy.
5.4 PILOTAGE
Pilotage at the terminal is compulsory, and any such services provided by the terminal
shall be strictly subject to this Handbook including the Terminal Conditions. The
Mooring Master and the ECO will board the Lifting Vessel approximately 2 miles west of
the CALM Buoy, on most occasions via a workboat. The Master will provide the
necessary ladder and safe access to and from the Lifting Vessel, including the need for
a good lee in accordance with IMO rules. The vessel should have a combination pilot/
accommodation ladder rigged according to the vessel’s freeboard upon arrival as
defined by SOLAS chapter V Regulation 23, as adopted by IMO resolution A.889(21).
In addition, the Lifting Vessel must have its portside derrick / crane rigged, and be ready
in all respects to take on board the mooring equipment basket.
A responsible English speaking watch-keeping officer must be in attendance for the

embarkation/disembarkation of all personnel.
5.5 BERTHING PARAMETERS

The berthing will normally take place during the hours of daylight, commencing at (0600)
but may, at the Terminal’s discretion, take place at other times. In all cases, the decision
to berth the Lifting Vessel will rest with the Terminal Operations Team Leader in
consultation with the Mooring Master. (See Section 2.5).
Where berthing is required to take place outside of daylight hours, a Case to Operate
shall be completed by the Terminal Operations Team Leader and approved by the
relevant BHPB approving authority.

th
5.6 BERTHING AND MOORING OPERATIONS
The berthing and mooring operation will be carried out by the Mooring Master and his
mooring assistant.
Workboats will be on hand to assist with the berthing as and when directed by the
Mooring Master. The final decision to moor the Lifting Vessel will rest with the Mooring
Master, depending on the existing circumstances and conditions.
The Mooring Master’s assistant will be stationed, along with the Lifting Vessel mooring
team, on the forepart of the Lifting Vessel to carry out the mooring operation. The
responsibility to ensure there are sufficient crews to handle the mooring hawsers will rest
with the Master, and he shall ensure there are adequate messengers, heaving lines,
chain stoppers etc., to expedite the operation.
The mooring hawsers and chafe chains shall be made fast in suitable chain stoppers:
For Lifting Vessels of 70,000 DWT or greater, the bow chain stopper must have a safe
working load of 200 metric tones and be able to accept a 76 mm chain.
For Lifting Vessels of 69,999 DWT or less, the bow chain stopper must have at least a
safe working load of 100 metric tones and be able to accept at least 54 mm chain
Vessels are required to provide 2 mooring lines each equipped with a suitable chain
stopper.
To safely berth a Panamax size vessel with only ONE chain stopper on the CALM Buoy
the following criteria must be met.
• A comprehensive visual inspection for deterioration of any kind must be done on

the intended Hawser to be used in the chain stopper. This must be carried out by
the Mooring Master and recorded.
• The forward Fire Wire/(ETOP- Emergency Tow off Pendants) must be wrapped
or a figure eight placed around an appropriately rated forward Bitt with the second
hawser chain attached to it with an appropriately rated shackle. This must be
inspected by the Mooring Master and recorded.
• The Main Engine of the vessel must be on True Stand By for instant
maneuvering. The engine shall be tested at a period designated by the Pilot.
Page 24 of 43
Revision No.: 7
th
• The Hawser Monitoring Device must be present and operating correctly. Mooring
Master shall observe readings at regular intervals. See section 2.5 Tension
Limits.
• In the event that any of the above criteria can not be met a suitable Tug must be
present throughout the operation under the direction of the Pilot.
A ship’s mooring rope, capable of being used as an emergency towline, must be kept at
hand on the after mooring deck. It must be noted that off take tankers visiting the
Terminal shall not anchor or maneuver in or near to the CALM Buoy exclusion zones,
which currently extends 1 Nm radius.
Once the Lifting Vessel is securely moored, and is lying settled at the CALM Buoy, then
the Lifting Vessel mooring team, together with the Mooring Master and his assistant will
proceed to the manifold to commence the hose-connection
5.7 STATIC TOW (IF REQUIRED AND AGREED)

In certain exceptional circumstances a tug / support vessel may also be used to assist in
maintaining separation between Lifting Vessel and the Buoy. The tug/supply vessel if so
used shall undertake a static tow operation for the duration of the offtake. A line should
be passed to the tug/supply vessel to enable a towline to be sent up and secured to the
stern of the Lifting Vessel. When there is a steady weight on the towline, the Lifting
Vessel’s engines will be stopped and place on standby mode as directed by the Mooring
Master. The Lifting Vessel’s engines must remain on ‘standby” for the duration of the
offtake as they may be required at any time. A responsible officer with a VHF radio must
be available at all times and the engine room must be manned to enable an immediate
response for requested engine movements.
5.8 INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS
If at any time, the Mooring Master decides that, due to deteriorating weather conditions,
CALM Buoy operations may become unsafe, then the Master will be informed of this
decision, and operations will cease. In such cases, the Lifting Vessel will proceed to exit
the CALM Buoy Exclusion Zone and anchor in the designated anchorage area. (See Fig
1.6b)
5.9 MAIN ENGINE READINESS

Any Lifting Vessel visiting the CALM Buoy shall keep its main engines in a state of
readiness to maneuver at all times during the visit. The shutting-down of main propulsion

7. STANDARDS OF LIFTING VESSELS
7.1 LIFTING VESSELS

Accepted Lifting Vessels to the CALM Buoy must be within the range of 20,000 to
150,000 DWT, and have a maximum displacement tonnage of 175,000 tonnes and
Maximum Summer Draft of 55’ 0” (16.77m).
A sample questionnaire to be completed by all Lifting Vessels prior to visiting the

CALM Buoy is attached in the Berthing & Terminal Supplement. The Lifting Vessel
operator is obliged to provide all the answers to the questionnaire and submit a current
forecastle-mooring diagram (with appropriate measurements), before being confirmed to
visit the Terminal.
It is a requirement that all particulars given in the answers to: a) the questionnaire; and
b) the forecastle mooring diagram, are accurate, and that the Lifting Coordinator and the
Terminal Operations Team Leader must be notified forthwith in writing, by letter,
facsimile, e-mail or telex of any change with respect to such particulars.
Without prejudice to any other consequence of such inaccuracy or change, failure to so

notify, and to provide all necessary details relating thereto, may cause serious delays at
the Terminal and such delays shall be deemed attributable to the Lifting Vessel and all
and any costs associated therewith will be strictly for the account of the Owners.
Lifting Vessels shall be aware of the OCIMF publication “Recommendations for
Equipment Employed in the Mooring of Ships at Single Point Moorings”, and shall be
fitted with the appropriate equipment in accordance with these recommendations,
including a not manually slewed manifold derrick or crane with a 15 tonnes Safe Working
Load (“SWL”). The windlass, winches or capstans used to handle moorings, shall also
be capable of lifting at least 15 tonnes.
The bow windlass or winch, which will be used for mooring, shall be capable of picking
up the mooring hawser and chafe chain, which will normally have a combined weight of
not more than 3.2 tonnes. When assessing the capabilities of the windlass, or winch,
allowance should be made for the loss of efficiency due to friction caused by the
possible change of directional lead of the ‘pick-up’ line on the Lifting Vessels forecastle
between the Bow Panama fairlead and the windlass or winch. The drum must have a
good hauling lead preferably with no single directional change greater than 900 from the
Panama fairlead to the chain stoppers, in order to retrieve smoothly the chafe chain and
mooring hawsers.
On the Lifting Vessel’s arrival at the CALM Buoy, the windlass, or winch, must have two
drums empty, each capable of accepting:

THE LIFTING VESSEL.
The bow chain stoppers shall conform to the following requirements:
For Lifting Vessels of 70,000 DWT or greater, the bow chain stoppers must have a safe
working load of 200 metric tones and be able to accept a 76 mm chain.
For Lifting Vessels of 69,999 DWT or less, the bow chain stoppers must have a at least
a safe working load of 100 metric tones and be able to accept at least 54 mm chain
Given the particular requirements of the CALM Buoy, the Lifting Vessels should ensure
that their mooring arrangements and equipment are checked for suitability, and can
comply in all respects with the CALM Buoy requirements before finalization of charter
arrangements and before arrival at the CALM Buoy. Failure to comply in all respects
with these requirements could result in serious delays or refused berthing at the CALM
Buoy. All and any costs so incurred will be strictly for the account of the Owners.
A Lifting Vessel visiting the CALM Buoy shall comply with the latest SOLAS (4th edition)
and MARPOL conventions and protocols. A Lifting Vessel found to be sub-standard or
deficient in any safety requirements, after initial vetting by the Terminal, will be refused
entry to the CALM Buoy.
A Lifting Vessel visiting the CALM Buoy shall have the IGS (“Inert Gas System”) fully
operational throughout the Lifting Vessel’s stay at the CALM Buoy. The
Terminal/Customer assigned cargo inspector will check the condition of the tanks on
arrival at the CALM Buoy prior to commencing transfer, and again on completion of
transfer as per the contractual agreement.
Failure of the Lifting Vessel’s IGS, or any deviation in gas-level readings above the
SOLAS maximum permissible safe limits during the Lifting Vessel’s stay at the CALM
Buoy, may result in cessation of operations, in which case the Lifting Vessels may be
unmoored and directed to a safe anchorage position outside the CALM Buoy limits.
The operators and Owners, or any Charterer concerned therewith, shall ensure that
each Lifting Vessel participates in the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation
Ltd., is entered into an International Protection and Indemnity (P & I) Club and has a
minimum of US$1 billion pollution liability insurance, in compliance with the Civil Liability
