Marine Facilities. The Vessels shall operate in compliance with any and all regulations, including operating, pollution abatement and safety regulations of the operator or governing regulatory bodies of any marine terminal facility, wharf, berth or dock for which the Vessels are nominated by Shipper to load or discharge Cargo hereunder, including when the Vessels are approaching, alongside or departing said facility, wharf, berth or dock. Should the Vessel fail to comply with such rules and regulations or should the terminal representative determine that an unsafe condition exists with respect to the Vessels or either of them, the terminal representative shall have the right to order the Vessels to immediately cease loading or unloading operations and leave the place of mooring. Any and all time lost as a result of such Vessel non-compliance shall not count as used laytime or as demurrage if the Vessels are on demurrage, and all costs and expenses that arise as a result of such non-compliance shall be for the sole account of Carrier.
Marine Facilities. Loading Berth - Phase 1 - Excavation and Dredging Breakdown - Sheet 1 of 3 26089-200-R0-0000-10211 00B
Marine Facilities. LNG ships will off-load their LNG cargoes at two protected berths to be constructed on the Site, each equipped with mooring systems and accessories for safe berthing and de-berthing of LNG ships. The LNG ship berths will be located in a new marine basin, which will include a maneuvering basin to turn and move the LNG ships into their berth. A new 1250 ft by 1100 ft (approximate) marine basin will be dredged to a depth of at least 45 feet and will be connected to the Sabine Pass Channel. The new marine basin and berths will be able to accommodate both currently operating LNG ships and future ships, each of which will be capable of holding up to 250,000 cubic meters (m3) of LNG. The Facility will have three tugs, two line handling boats, and facilities for their berthing at the Facility. Onboard ship pumps will deliver LNG to low-pressure LNG storage Tanks via stainless steel unloading arms and cryogenic piping. Each berth will have one set of LNG unloading arms. Each set of unloading arms will consist of four arms, two for unloading, one for vapor return and one for either unloading or vapor return. Space for a fifth arm will be reserved on the platform. All the arms will be equipped with powered emergency release couplings (“PERCs”), swivel joints to provide the required range of movement between the ship and the shore connections, and quick connect/disconnect couplings to facilitate hook up to the LNG ship. The unloading arms will be capable of being drained into the LNG unloading lines prior to disconnecting. The unloading arms will be connected to two parallel stainless steel insulated LNG transfer lines for each berth. These four lines then will be manifolded together with valves into a single pair of stainless steel insulated lines which will run along the main piperack to transfer the LNG into the Tanks. The average LNG unloading rate will be 12,000 m3/hr (423,780 ft3/hr) from each ship, at approximately 75 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) and -260oF. Two ships will be able to unload simultaneously; however, this will require reduced unloading rates. All mooring line hooks shall be specifically ordered with, and include load cells for line tension monitoring, and quick release electrical and mechanical mechanisms. The load cells and electrical quick release mechanism shall not be wired or energized for service, but only reserved for future at a later date by the Owner. Contractor is responsible for detail design for marine facilities based on Owne...
Marine Facilities. Navigation monitoring system is not included in the Scope of Work. • Remote quick release hooks are not included in the Scope of Work. All mooring line hooks shall be specifically ordered by Contractor with, and include load cells for line tension monitoring, and quick release electrical and mechanical mechanisms. The load cells and electrical quick release mechanism shall not be wired or energized for service, and are intended to be reserved for future use by Owner.
Marine Facilities. The marine facilities include: • LNG Loading Berth: one south Berth capable of berthing tankers from 125,000 m3 to 266,000 m3 (QMAX) capacity, with a design loading rate of 12,000 m3/hr. • Access trestle supporting a pipe rack and roadway providing access to the berths • Material Offloading Facility (MOF) consisting of a quayside structure to import Equipment and Contractor Equipment during performance of the Work • Contractor shall construct at least one Pioneer Dock; if Contractor elects to construct additional pioneer docks, it shall do so at its own cost and in compliance with all Owner Permits. • Ship turning basin and LNG berthing basin, including navigational aids and dredging including pre-turnover dredging of shoaling and maintenance dredging. The dredging depth shall be defined as what is outlined in the Specification for “Dredging Works, Marine Facilities Design Criteria for LNG Loading Berths” and “Marine Facilities Design Criteria for Material Offloading Facility” as referenced in Appendix B. • Shore protection at the Berth pocket, MOF dredging slope and turning basin east bank slope.
Marine Facilities. The marine facilities include a dredge deep-water basin and shiploader pier. The dredging provides access and berthing areas at the pier which extends towards shore from the Corps of Engineers' pierhead line. An area on the south side of the pier has been dredged to a depth of 50 feet to match the existing channel. The north side of the pier can be dredged to a depth of 50 feet if so necessitated by an increase in business. The shiploader dock is designed as a finger pier with a berth on each side for loading colliers up to 173,000 dwt. It is provided with a trestle connection to shore. The pier supports the shiploading conveyor and shiploader, plus a roadway with a turnaround area at the offshore end. Both faces of the pier are provided with a fendering system. A turning dolphin has been constructed at the outer end, connected by a walkway to the pier.
