1.2. LOCATION and GENERAL INFORMATION
The Port Muhammad Bin Qasim (Urdu: اس ق ند محم اگ ردنب Bandar-gāh Muhammad bin Qāsim), also
known as Port Qasim, is a deep-water seaport at Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, on the coastline of the
Arabian Sea. It is Pakistan's second busiest port, handling about 40% of the nation's cargo (19million
tons per annum). Port Qasim and Karachi Port, the busiest port of country, together handle more than
90% of all external trade of Pakistan.
The total area of the port comprises 3,520 acres (14.2 km²) with an adjacent 13,000 acres (52 km²)
industrial estate wherein many industrial zones operate. In addition to the Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM)
and KESC Bin Qasim Power Plant, around 80% of the Pakistan's automotive industry is located at Port
Qasim. The port also provides direct waterfront access to two major nearby industrial areas, Export
Processing Zone (Landhi) and Korangi Industrial Area. Approximately 60% of country's export and
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 8 of 104
import is originated from these areas. Port Qasim is managed by Port Qasim Authority, a semi-
autonomous government body.
In the 1970s, as a part of Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's program for economic reforms
and establishment of heavy industries, the country’s first steel mill (Pakistan Steel Mills) was established
near the southern city of Karachi. A purpose-built specialised port facility was also decided to be
established for bulk handling of the massive imports of raw materials for steel production. In addition to
the future economic demands and strategic needs, this port was also meant to relieve congestion at
Karachi Port, the only established seaport of the country. Port Qasim was named as Port Muhammad
bin Qasim (also known as Port Qasim), after the Muslim General Muhammad bin Qasim who conquered
Daybul and the coastal areas of Sindh around 712 CE.
Port Qasim is located, adjacent to the Bin Qasim town, in the southern part of Malir district, Karachi
division, in Sindh. It is located in an old channel of the Indus River at a distance of 22 miles (35 km)
east of Karachi city center. The geographic position of the Port Qasim places it in close proximity to
major shipping routes. The approach to the port is along a 24 nm (45 km) long Navigation Channel
which provides safe navigation for vessels up to approximately 100,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT).
Location of the Port Qasim makes it very well connected to the transportation infrastructure of the
country. It is at distance of only 9 miles (15 km) from the national highway, providing direct access to
the hinterland through road. A further 8.5 miles (14 km) of railway track inside the terminal links it to the
national railway network through railway tracks. Jinnah International Airport is also very near, at a
distance of 13.5 miles (22 km).
Port Qasim is located on the northwest edge of the Indus Delta system. The system is characterised by
long and narrow creeks, mud flats and the Indus River Delta-Arabian Sea mangroves, one of the largest
mangrove forest ecosystems found in an arid climate. In 1972, eight species of mangrove trees were
recorded from Pakistan however, only four continue to thrive. Several species of reptiles, birds, and
terrestrial mammals inhabit the project area, wherever suitable habitats are found. These are constantly
under threat due to increased shipping and industrial activities in the area.
Engro Elengy Terminal, the first LNG receiving facility in Pakistan, is located inside Gharo Creek in Port
Qasim. The coordinates of the facility are Latitude 24° 46.3’ N and Longituge 067° 18.7’ E.
Refer to ANNEX AAA for navigation chart PAK 20
1.3. PORT LAYOUT
The port area stretches from the start of the navigation channel, which leads from the open sea to the
port terminals. The channel has two main sections: the outer channel and the inner channel. The EETL
facility and the Port Qasim terminals are at the end of the inner channel.
The seaward end of the outer channel is defined by a fairway lighted buoy, which marks the channel
entrance, and stretches to Phitti Creek, which is the entrance to the inner navigation channel. The outer
channel leads from the entrance through shallow flats or bar. This section of the outer channel is known
as the Ahsan Channel.
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 9 of 104
The inner channel is a continuation of the outer channel via Phitti Creek and Kadiro Creek. The channel
runs 13 nm to a turning basin off the iron ore and coal berth which is located immediately to the west of
the EETL facility.
Ahsan Channel
This waterway comprises the entire outer channel from the fairway lighted buoy to buoy-pair B1-B2 at
the entrance to Phitti Creek. According to British Admiralty Chart 59 (published 2013) this stretch has a
depth of 15.3 m. In this stretch, a depth of 15.3 meters is dredged by the Port Qasim Authority.
The minimum width of the Ahsan Channel is 200 m from buoy-pair NO1-NO2 to buoy- pair NO7-NO8
and from buoy-pair NO12A-NO13 to buoy-pair B1-B2. The Ahsan Channel bend is located between
buoys NO7-NO8 and NO12-NO13, where the channel width increases to 565 m.
Phitti Creek
This waterway comprises the beginning of the inner channel, from the beginning of Phitti Creek (buoy-
pair B1-B2) to the start of Kadiro Creek near Hasan Point (buoy-pair K4-K5). According to British
Admiralty Chart 59 (2013) this stretch has a dredged depth of 14.0 m.
The minimum width of the Phitti Creek channel is 200 m from buoy-pair B1-B2 to buoy-pair B11-B12.
From here onwards the width of the channel increases to between 280 m and 312 m, except in the
vicinity of buoy P11 where it narrows to 225 m.

Kadiro Creek
This waterway comprises the last part of the inner channel, from the start of Kadiro Creek (marked by
buoy-pair K4-K5) to the Port Qasim terminal area. According to British Admiralty Chart 59 (2013) the
depth is 14.0 m.
The minimum width of the channel is 200 m on the Kadiro Bend, from buoy- pair K4-K5 to buoy-pair
G2-G3. From here onwards the channel widens to provide access to the turning basin and then narrows
to the channel opposite the EETL terminal with a width of 250 m. At the end of this channel the basin
for container carriers is located, with a dredged depth of 15.0 m. The container terminal basin may be
considered an alternative turning basin for future use.

1.4. DETAILS OF THE TERMINAL AND BERTH
The Engro Elengy Terminal is an unconventional LNG receiving and regasification facility which
consists of a steel piled and concrete capped jetty which encompasses berthing and mooring facilities
for a 151,000 m3 Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) utilized for the import of Re-gassfied
Liquid Natural Gas (RLNG). The terminal jetty fendering and mooring arrangements are designed to
moor the FSRU by using the vessels existing mooring system fitted with conventional mooring wires
with tails in accordance with OCIMF guidelines. The design of the berth permits two (2) vessels to be
moored in a double-banked configuration while conducting LNG STS transfer operations with the
outboard LNGC discharging into the FSRU and the FSRU conducting regasification of LNG and
delivering high pressure natural gas into a purpose built high pressure gas marine unloading arm. It is
expected the facility will receive two LNG vessels per month eventually increasing to four per month.

1.5. MET-OCEAN AND CLIMATE INFORMATION
Port Qasim offers an arid but temperate climate with predominant features of the seasonal monsoon
winds and fairly limited range of air temperature. Heavy storms of severe intensity are rare but strong
gusts of winds can take place abruptly due to diurnal changes in cloud cover in the region.
Wind
There are three clearly-identified scenarios: the southwest monsoon (summer or wet), the northeast
monsoon (winter or dry) and the period between monsoons.
In the summer months of April to September, due to low atmospheric pressure related to extra-tropical
low pressure centers to the north of Pakistan, the southwest monsoon prevails with wind forces ranging
between 7 knots (3.8 m/s) and 28 knots (14.1 m/s), with a mean wind speed of 20 knots (10.0 m/s) and
maximum gusts to 35 knots (17.5 m/s) with the wind direction predominantly from the west and
southwest. These winds, laden with moisture from the Indian Ocean, come across Pakistan with some
incidence of rain fall, thus the ‘Wet Monsoon’.
In the winter months of November to March, the Pakistan land mass cools and develops high pressure
centers to the north. Combined with the extra-tropical low pressure center shifting to the south and west
of Pakistan, the ‘Dry Monsoon’ creates the less intensive northeast monsoon with prevailing winds from
the north and northeast. Westerly winds also appear in this monsson depending upon local anomalies.
The winter monsoon comes with mean wind speeds of 15-20 knots (7.5 – 10.0 m/s) with maximum
gusts to of 25 knots (12.5 m/s).
The non-monsoon seasons are transitional meteorological periods between the summer and winter
monsoons with mainly variable local winds of variable strength and follow typical semi-diurnal sea
breeze / land breeze patterns.
Waves
The prevailing wind-driven sea waves in the area are seasonal and mainly from the southwest. Swell
during the southwest monsoon reaches the fairway lighted buoy with a height of 3 m to 4 m. This outer
wave height is reduced at the outer channel due to the shallow waters effects. In the inner channel
waves are mainly generated by local wind effects because the outer swell breaks at the bar of the Ahsan
Channel. The wave height depends on the tidal level and it increases during spring tides.
Between December and May westerly sea waves are also frequent, mainly associated to W winds in
the winter monsoon and non monsoon seasons. Westerly significant waves heights are lower than
South-westerly waves, with maximum values around 2.5 m.
The meteorological scenarios will consider waves from SW and W direction with significant waves
heights below 3.0 m for SW waves and 2.0 m for W waves.
Coastal Currents
Coastal ocean currents tend to be variable but the set of the currents tend to be parallel to the coast.
The coastal currents have a seasonal variation that is related to the prevailing monsoons In February
to September the current sets toward the southeast with the strongest set occurring from June to
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 14 of 104
August. The currents in October tend to be weaker and variable, while increasing in strength from
November through January when the set is usually toward the northwest.
Velocity of the coastal current is usually less than 1.0 knot (0.5 m/s) however from June through August
and in December, the velocity can reach 2.0 knots (1.0 m/s).
Tides and Tidal Stream Current
Tidal stream currents at the mouth of the Indus Delta are strong and can attain during the ebb at Phitti
Creek of 3.0 knots (1.5 m/s). The tidal current crossing the entrance bar is reported to reach 5.0 knots
(2.5 m/s) on the ebb and 3.0 knots (1.5 m/s) during the flood depending on the monsoon.
Tides and tidal stream currents at Port Qasim are mixed semi-diurnal with a diurnal component. The
average tidal period is approximately 12.4 hours.
Lunar tidal type affects the intensity of tidal stream currents since, for a given tidal range, the velocity
of water movements will be greater in semi-diurnal regimes than for mixed or diurnal types because a
shorter interval between high and low tides occur.
Based on the available data for the water level in the Port Qasim area the maximum tidal range at
highest astronomical tide (HAT) is about 4.0 m, with a mean tide of approximately 2.0 m - 2.5 m.
Tidal stream current is synchronized with the level of the lunar tide, whereas the maximum currents
occur at mean tide levels and minimum current when the water level is either maximum or minimum at
the stand of the tide.
In general, crossing the bar at the entrance to Ahsan Channel near the fairway lighted buoy the flood
current is 0.5 knots (< 0.25 m/s) and the ebb current is 1.0 knots (0.5 m/s). Near Ahsan Channel buoys
7, 8 and 9 and daymark beacon 8A, the currents transverse the channel with the ebb current flows in
an east to west direction at a maximum of 2.0 knots (1 m/s) and the flood current flows west to east at
a maximum of 1.5 knots (< 1 m/s).
The ebb current reaches its maximum strength of 5 knots (2.5 m/s) in the south part of Phitti Creek
between the inner and outer channels whereas the flood current is 3 knots (1.5 m/s). The influence of
Chhan Waddo Creek may be felt in this area.
In the inner channel, the tidal currents follow the direction of the respective navigation channels but
have a slight transverse component on the bends when passing the side creek influences of Korangi
Creek and Chara Creek. The ebb current at 3.5 knots (< 2.0 m/s) is slightly stronger than the flood
current at 3.0 knots (1.5 m/s).
The following table shows the maximum current for the maximum tide (100% spring tide) at each of the
defined areas.

Tidal range of 4.6 meters (HAT – LAT) with usual range of 2.4 meters above chart datum
Tidal stream (current) velocities up to 5 knots (2.5 m/s) at the Ahsan Channel Bar Cut
Seasonal wind patterns (monsoonal and extra-tropical systems)
Existing Marine Pilot practices at Port Qasim
Commercial traffic patterns calling at Port Qasim
Port facility and ship security concerns
Emergency response
For each vessel calling at Port Qasim, the PQA establishes the minimum level of vessel services,
including the number of Marine Pilots, ship assist tugs (size and capabilty), along with the deployment
of escort and security vessels, mooring line handling vessels and standby tugs in the Port Tariff. Ship
owners and operators may increase the level of vessel services, based upon their respective Safety
Management System requirements. Specific arrangements should be made through respective ship
agents.

2. SAFE MOORING AND WORKING GUIDE
EETL is not responsible for ship assist escort, towage and berthing operations of the vessels calling at
the EETL faciltiy. It is compulsory that the services of a qualified Marine Pilot who is authorized by PQA
will be used each time the vessel has to be moved in Port Qasim and at the EETLfacility.
The following best pracitices / guidelines, based upon OCIMF and SIGTTO guidelines, shall be followed
for the duration of all vessel calls at the EETL facility:
The Master is responsible for ensuring that mooring lines are in good condition and that winches
and securing devices are properly maintained in safe & efficient operational order. Mooring shall be
completed as per recommmendations of the STS compatability study in compliance with the
technical studies upon which the EETL berth was designed.
Any known defect in the vessel’s mooring system including limitation of mooring winch brakes
should be reported to the Terminal Manager by the Master in order that, if necessary, additional
precautions may be agreed upon. Any additional measures, if required for mitigating defects should
be agreed upon between the Master of the LNGC, the Master of the FSRU and the Terminal
Manager.
The Master shall ensure that the vessel mooring lines are fastened only to the proper mooring
fixtures provided for this purpose and in accordance with the pre-agreed mooring arrangement.
Under no circumstances should a mixture of wires and synthetic lines (mixed moorings) in the same
direction of service and to the same mooring point be acceptable.
The vessel must provide full power to all mooring winches throughout the period alongside the
EETL facility.
When mooring, the LNGC shall be prepared to send mooring lines to the EETL jetty and the FSRU
when the LNGC is parallel with the FRSU about 50 meters off.Mooring boats shall be used to run
the head and stern lines of the LNGC to the shore mooring dolphins (MD-1 and MD-4) quick release
hooks (QRH).
Final transverse approach / berthing speed of the LNGC should not be more than 8 cms/sec.
The Master should endeavor to ensure compliance with the mooring layout.
Once moored and All Fast, the vessel’s winches must be secured with the winch brakes set to the

Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 29 of 104
Cargo Survey, Documentation, Customs and Agents
Visiting LNGC’s appointed agent will arrange port entry and customs clearance. Clearance by
authorities must be given prior to any operations can commence. Custom officials and other
representatives are disembarking the LNGC via launch.
Emergency Shut Down Systems
Each vessel involved in the STS transfer operation shall have an emergency shutdown (ESD) system
which enables a rapid and controlled means of stopping the cargo transfer and isolating the free
communication of LNG and GNG between the vessels in the event of an emergency. Modified
arrangements may be required for vessels engaged in a STS cargo transfer in order that both ESD
systems are compatible. This shall be addressed in the Compatibility Study. The ESD system shall
comply with the SIGTTO guidelines for linked ESD systems.
The ESD system features the typically ‘stepped’ system used at conventional LNG terminals where
ESD-1 shutdowns the cargo transfer system in a ‘fail-safe’closed’ arrangement and ESD-2 releases the
cargo transfer hoses in the event of vessel separation.
Linked ESD Systems
The cause and effect of shutting down cargo transfer in an emergency shall be discussed and confirmed
by both vessels prior to commencement of the cargo transfer. Vapor management and the actions
surrounding recovery from an ESD shall also be confirmed.
The primary ESD link shall consist of a pneumatic, electric or fiber optic connection with a “weak link”
fitted in the umbilical between the two vessels. The weak link is a failsafe in case of vessels drifting
apart. The means of linking the ESD systems of the vessels shall be addressed in the Compatibility
Study.
Testing of ESD Systems
Prior to arrival, the ESD system shall be thoroughly tested by both vessels as required by the IGC code.
All methods of activation should be tested and the timing of the ESD valve closure shall be noted. The
closing times and sequencing of the ESD valves shall be more than 15 and less than 30 seconds
ensuring pressure surges do not occur. The FSRU ESD valves are timed to close within 30 seconds.
The LNGC should set its valves to close within 25 seconds.
Prior to commencement of the cargo transfer (hose cool down), the linked ESD system shall be tested
by both vessels in accordance with the IGC code. The ESD shall be tested once cargo transfer hoses
are connected and purged. It is important that the ESD valves are not operated before purging has
been completed since the cargo transfer hose and spool pieces may contain oxygen and moisture.
The procedure for testing the linked ESD system shall be addressed in the Compatibility Study and
confirmed at the pre-transfer safety meeting. The vessels shall agree to the sequence and number of
tests to be conducted.
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 30 of 104
Communications Failure
In the event of a communications failure between the vessels, all cargo transfer operations shall
shutdown until the cause has been identified and communications between the vessels re-established.
Mooring Integrity & Safety Checks
Prior to connecting the cryogenic flexible hoses/or commencement of the Pre Cargo Transfer Safety
Meeting the FSRU Master or his authorized deputy shall together with a responsible LNGC officer check
and confirm that all moorings are tight, brakes properly hardened up and winches are out of gear,
firefighting equipment is deployed, fire wires are rigged correctly, offshore manifolds are fully blanked
and tight and other areas of general safety. On completion of confirming mooring integrity and safety,
and following the conclusion of the safety meeting connection of unloading arms may proceed.
The Master of the FSRU and LNGC shall ensure the vessels are moored properly according to the
approved mooring layout. Any deviations in the mooring arrangement shall be brought to the attention
of the Terminal Manager.
The safety checks shall be documented using the Safety Check List found in the Annex.
Water Spray Hull Protection System
Once the LNGC is moored to the FSRU, and before the cargo transfer hoses are connected, the water
curtain should be started by both vessels.
After completion of connecting the cargo transfer hoses, each vessel is responsible to establish a water
bath and water cascade on the trunk deck slope under the cargo manifold.
The fire main shall remain pressurised at all times on both the FSRU and the LNGC.
Communications Alongside
Communications between LNGC and FSRU shall be established before commencement of cargo
transfer operations.
Communications systems shall be included in the ship compatibility study and shall be confirmed during
the pre-transfer safety meeting.
The FSRU shall provide the communication links between the vessels.
In addition the FSRU shall provide the LNGC with a hand held UHF Radio, spare battery and charger
for use during the unloading operation. A receipt for the radio shall be signed by a responsible officer
from the LNGC.
In the event of a communications failure between the vessels, all cargo transfer operations shall be
shutdown until the cause has been identified and communications between the vessels re-established.

Gas Burning
Gas burning on board of the LNGC can be accepted related to commercial terms and condition outline
in the commercial agreements.
LNGC equipped with reliquefaction plant may use it as per their requirement but after approval of the
EETL Terminal Manager or LNG operations representative.
Opening Custody Transfer Measurement
Before the LNGC's manifold valves are opened at the start of line cooldown the opening CTMS shall
take place. The opening CTMS shall take place on both vessels simultaneously, therefore clocks on
each vessel should be syncronized accordingly. This is usually done following the safety meeting.
The CTMS on the LNGC shall be witnessed by an independent surveyor. In some cases Port State
Customs authorities may also be present. The CTMS is conducted in compliance to the standard
GIIGNL guidelines.
Engine room fuel meters, GCU counter and other ‘consumers’ shall be recorded at the start of opening
CTMS.
In the event of a primary gauging system failure, the secondary gauging system shall be used for CTMS.
Vessels should NOT secure gas burning prior to or during gauging unless otherwise agreed.
Cargo Transfer Hose Specification and Testing
Flexible cryogenic cargo transfer hoses are stowed on board the FSRU and provided to the LNGC for
cargo transfer. When not in use the hoses are stowed in a dedicated wooden hose rack in a horizontal
position, stowed with a slight positive pressure and protected from the elements by tarp.
The hose rack allows for:
Storage of 9 hose lengths, allowing for 1 spare length of hose;
Visual inspection and dew pointing of hoses at regular intervals;

In addition to any tests that may be carried out by the FSRU prior to the LNGC's arrival, ESD tests shall
be conducted in conjunction with each arriving LNGC.
When both FSRU and LNGC have confirmed ready for test, the LNGC shall initiate an ESD. After
resetting the FSRU shall initiate an ESD test. ESD procedure shall be agreed at the Pre Cargo Transfer
Meeting.
All valves and equipment connected to the ESD system must be operating properly when the ESD
System is released. Upon completion of a successful ESD test, the cool down operation is ready to
commence
4.2. CARGO TRANSFER OPERATIONS
Hose and Manifold Cooldown
During LNGC arrival pilotage and hose handling operations the cargo lines shall be cooled down up to
the inboard manifold double-block valve in order to avoid the risk of LNG passing across an ESD valve
during flanging operations. Line cooldown is considered to be complete once the fwd and aft liquid
cross-over lines are < -110˚C. Line cooldown can commence during LNGC pilotage so long as
personnel are available for safely conducting the operation. The line cooldown process shall be
addressed during the vessel compatibility study and confirmed during the pre-transfer safety meeting.
During hose and line cooldown, the integrity of the hoses, flanged connections and the manifold area
shall be closely monitored.
Cargo hose cooldown shall be performed by using one (two if required) of the LNGC’s cargo spray
pumps and should take a minimum of 90 minutes.
The cooldown shall be conducted with the LNGC ESD valves open and the manifold double-block
valves closed. The rate of cooldown shall be controlled with the cool down valves on the manifold
coming from the spray header.
The liquid manifold valves on the FSRU shall remain closed. The coolant shall bypass the ESD valves
flowing into the stripping header towards the spray line at the vapour dome until the spool piece on the
FSRU is 50% frosted.

Thereafter the manifold ESD valves and the double-block valves aboard the FSRU shall be opened in
order to start to cooldown of the LNG manifold risers. Once achieving the desired temperature the
cooldown is completed and stopped. The cold ESD test shall be conducted after which valve line-up
takes place for the cargo transfer.
Cold ESD Test
Before initiating the cold ESD test both LNGC and FSRU shall confirm their readiness to each other to
conduct this test. The FSRU following a countdown will initiate the ESD. Both LNGC and FSRU will
check their respective ESD valves for proper closure. Closing time of both LNGC and FSRU valves are
to be recorded. Only one ESD is required. One ESD is initiated from the LNGC and one from the FSRU
(Pyle and Optical) and the opposite during warm test.
Cargo Transfer
The FSRU will be in charge of the cargo transfer due to the FSRU being the receiving and production
facility. The cargo operation will be executed in careful cooperation between the LNGC and the FSRU.
Prevention of Rollover procedures is incorporated into FSRU’s cargo operation manual and must be
complied with at all times. These procedures are based upon best industry practice and SIGTTO
recommendations.
The FSRU and the LNGC will line up respectively for the cargo transfer. When all parties have
completed the cargo pipe lineup and are ready for cargo transfer, both FSRU and LNGC Officers in
charge of transfer will acknowledge to each other that cargo transfer can commence.
One of primary variables that dictate the LNG cargo transfer rate is the gas production rate from the
FSRU into the pipeline. The LNG cargo transfer rate may have to be reduced in order to control FSRU
tank pressure and levels within operating limits.
The terminal is designed for a transfer rate of up to 12,000 m3/hour, however in its sole discretion the
FSRU will advise on the maximum loading rate for the individual discharge.
During the LNG cargo transfer a carefully check of the tank pressure must be maintained throughout.
To maintain tank pressure on the LNGC BOG from the FSRU will be returned via the vapour system
utilizing the pressure difference.
Simultaneously with the cargo transfer the LNGC will be ballasting and the FSRU will be de-ballasting
accordingly. Both the FSRU and the LNGC must have a stability plan prepared for this operation.
Ramping up and down rates shall be discussed at the pre-transfer meeting. However the ramping up
can be slowed down if either party feels uncomfortable with the situation. Normal ramp up is expected
to take one (1) hour.
Starting cargo transfer and subsequent increases in transfer rate shall be authorized by the FSRU to
ensure that tank pressures are managed in a safe manner.
During the transfer an hourly exchange of information shall take place between the vessels. This shall
include (but not limited to) cargo transfer rate, tank pressure, cargo ROB quantities, mooring line status,
etc.
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 41 of 104
The ramping down process shall be discussed and agreed to at the pre-transfer safety meeting.
Vapour Management
Gas will be returned to the LNGC via a pressure control valve on the FSRU on free flow basis. The set
point will be agreed during pre-discharge meeting. Due to higher operating pressure on the FSRU
excessive boil off is reduced during transfer, therefore it is important to note that the FSRU tanks
pressure relief valves are set at 700 mbar(g). The operation pressure on the FSRU is set out by the
overall operation of the terminal and independent from the individual discharge operation.
It is the responsibility of the LNGC to monitor the pressure in its tanks and keep the FSRU informed. In
the event that pressure in the return gas line falls to 80 mbar(g) or below then the LNGC must adjust its
unloading rate until pressures return to normal levels. It is important that FSRU Cargo Control Room
is informed if there is any problem with the ship taking return gas in order that the FSRU can manage
vapor pressure in the FSRU cargo tanks by other means (Recondenser, MSO compressor).
In case of raising tank pressure on the LNGC side the FSRU Cargo Control Room needs to be informed
immediately for further action.
Topping Off
Topping off shall occur at the pre-agreed reduced rate, one tank at a time. A topping off rate of 500-
800m3/hr is normally agreed upon.
There may be an increase in the effect boil off has on tank pressures whilst tanks are being topped off,
this is due to the construction shape of the prismatic tanks. Adequate precautionary measures shall be
taken in order to avoid possible venting.
Stripping / Heeling Out
Heeling out operation is permitted, if commercial terms and conditions are in agreement with this
operation. Under no circumstance the contractual lay time should be exceeded due to the heeling out
operation.
Stripping pumps shall be started in ample time if the discharging vessel intends to heel-out (strip) cargo
tanks. This shall ensure cargo consolidation can be completed if the main cargo pump loses suction
due to liquid movement.
The minimum LNG liquid level accounted in the custody transfer is the height of liquid, where the
accuracy equal to or better than plus or minus five (±5) millimeters over the relevant measurement
ranges of the cargo tanks as outlined in the calibration table of the vessel. Any liquid level below the
minimal height may not be accounted for, therefore it is usually recommended to heel-out with some
level of innage remaining.
Heeling out operation will be discussed during the pre – discharge meeting.
Cargo Hose Drain and Purge
Once the cargo transfer operation has been completed, the ESD valves on the manifold of the FSRU
shall be closed. On the LNGC the double-block valves shall be closed while the ESD valves remain
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 42 of 104
open to allow draining of the vertical risers and cargo transfer hoses. All cargo transfer hoses shall be
drained from the LNGC towards the FSRU.
Draining shall be conducted by repeatedly pressurizing the hoses using nitrogen until the pressure
reaches four (4) to five (5) bar and then opening the FSRU manifold ESD bypass valves until the hoses
are liquid free. During this operation sea water spray shall be directed onto the LNG hose bight
(catenary) to speed up de-icing and vaporization of remaining LNG in the hose. As the LNG boils-off,
the line pressure increase will assist in displacing liquid in the lines. Both vessels shall conduct the
drain and purge operation together.
It may aid the operation if the FSRU can supply nitrogen, via a flexible hose, to the LNGC N2 rail to aid
the pressurization of the cargo hoses from the LNGC side. This shall be discussed at the pre-transfer
safety meeting.
Cargo hoses shall continue to be purged with nitrogen until they contain an atmosphere of less than
2% methane by volume. Hoses may then be disconnected, blind flanges installed and the hoses passed
back to the FSRU.
Cargo Hose Disconnection
The cargo hoses shall be disconnected and handled in accordance with procedures in the Cargo Hose
Handling Manual provided to the vessels.
After disconnection each hose flange shall be blanked prior to returning the hose to the FSRU. The
manifold ESD by-pass valves on the FSRU shall be partially open to prevent any pressure build up in
the cargo transfer hoses.
4.3. POST CARGO TRANSFER OPERATIONS
Closing Custody Transfer Measurement
On completion of draining and purging of the cargo hoses and confirmation that all the LNGC’s
manifolds are closed, closing CTMS may commence.
In most cases the same witnesses to the opening CTMS shall be present at the closing CTMS.
On completion of cargo calculation and agreement of the cargo quantity transferred, any documentation
will be prepared by the LNGC, for signing by all interested parties.
Engine room fuel meters, GCU counter and other ‘consumers’ shall be recorded at the start of closing
CTMS. In addition to standard CTM prints, the LNGC should provide screen prints from the control
system to demonstrate vapor handling on board the LNGC for engine room, GCU or reliquifaction unit
consumption.
Removal of ESD Cable
The ESD Cable should be disconnected after the cargo hoses have been disconnected and water
curtains are secured.

5. HAZARD SITUATIONS & EMERGENCY RESPONSE
5.1. FIRE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Repair Work and Maintenance
No boiler cleaning, chipping, scaling and scraping of steel work or work likely to cause sparks shall be
undertaken on any vessel (and no iron or steel hammers or other instrument capable of causing sparks
shall be used for the purpose of opening or closing hatches), unless the previous written permission of
the Terminal Manager has been obtained and permission of Harbor Master.
Engineer on Duty
In addition to the supervision required on deck a competent Engineer must be on duty in the engine
room and or boiler room at all times whilst the vessel is berthed of the Terminal.
Excessive Funnel Smoking
Soot blowing and excessive funnel smoking is prohibited and immediate steps must be taken to
eliminate sparking from funnels.
Fire and Fire Fighting
For an emergency on shore, jetty or FSRU, an alarm shall be raised. The EETL facility signals and
emergency by giving the sound of siren. Refer to ANNEX HHH for further details.
Fire Fighting Equipment
Vessel(s) shall be adequately manned at all times for fire fighting and for vacating the berth in case of
an emergency. The following fire fighting precautions shall be ready:
Fire hoses to be run out fore and aft, ready for use
Fire main must be under pressure
Dry chemical extinguishing equipment of adequate capacity must be stationed near the vessel’s
manifold
In The Event Of A Fire Ashore
All cargo operations and/or ballasting operations must be stopped immediately and the Master shall
prepare the vessel for immediate departure and await instruction from the Terminal Manager or PQA.
In The Event Of Fire Aboard
Advise jetty operator, FSRU / LNGC as applicable and sound the alarm. Shutdown cargo operations
and activate the water deluge as necessary.
In case of fire on board of a vessel at the EETL facility, the responsibility for fire fighting onboard remains
with the Master. The vessel Master may request assistance from the Senior Fire Brigade Officer on
duty and the FiFi tugs available in the port.
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 44 of 104
Generally the fire brigade will be on the scene first and will on request of the Master assist in combating
the fire.
5.2. VENTING GAS TO ATMOSPHERE
Venting of natural gas to atmosphere is not permitted during normal operations. The need for emergency venting shall minimized through the process of tank pressure management and the use of ‘consumers’ on board the FSRU or LNGC. In the case of emergency venting, the gas shall be heated and cold venting avoided.
The water spray deluge systems shall be in use and all ventilation systems secured during any venting event.
5.3. THUNDERSTORMS/ELECTRICAL STORMS - SUSPENSION OF OPERATIONS
Lightning hazards may be associated with several severe weather conditions. During periods when
lightning/thunderstorms pose a threat, personnel shall be expected to use prudent judgment and
proceed indoors and withdraw from exposed locations. When lightning/thunderstorms are in close
proximity to LNG/RLNG transfer operations, operations may be temporarily halted until determined that
the lighting strikes no longer pose a hazard to personnel working outdoors. Transitions in operations
may represent moments of increased risk. Careful evaluation of the circumstances and potential for
release of gas should be considered when determining whether to shut down or continue cargo transfer
operations with electrical storm activity in the vicinity.
It is to note, shutting down regas operations may pose increased risks and therefore may dictate that
continuing regas operations to be the safest course of action.
In the case of STS cargo transfers, the transfer shall be suspended until the lighting passes. During the
suspended period, the cargo transfer hoses may be maintained cold by use of a small spray/stripping
pump.
The vessel Master is responsible for the safety of the vessel and is responsible for the actions necessary
to protect the vessel. Master’s should take into account weather factors associated with the
lightning/thunderstorms as well as the potential increased risk of gas release during a regas plant
shutdown. It is the Masters decision to stop or continue regas operations.
5.4. PERSONNEL EMERGENCY ESCAPE
The vessel’s offshore lifeboat shall be ready for immediate lowering as an emergency escape means
for personnel.
An accomodation/pilot ladder rigged on the offshore side of the vessel shall be ready for immediate
lowering as means of escape in the event of an emergency.
Personnel working on the Engro Elengy Terminal jetty shall normally use the jetty to evacuate toward
the shore but in cases where they are trapped, they should consider boarding the FSRU as a means
to escape.
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 45 of 104
5.5. HIGH PRESSURE (HP) GAS FIRE
Gas leaking from a pipeline under pressure, if ignited, will give rise to a jet flame. The first action to be
taken in case of a high pressure leak is to isolate the leak and secure the source of gas. Activation of
the Emergency Shutdown (ESD) system is the preferred method of action, as the systems are designed
to fail safe or shut down into a safe condition.
The action taken to manage high pressure leak or fire shall include:
Activation of the ESD system on the FSRU;
Isolate and secure the gas source;
Dispersing or controlling the vapor cloud;
Securing potential sources of ignition;
Activation of the FSRU’s high pressure gas blow down system.
In some cases, if ignition has occurred and the fuel source has been isolated and secured, it may be
best to allow the gas fire to burn itself out. Adequate spray and/or deluge of water to protect adjacent
structures is needed to provide thermal protection.
Dry Chemical (Ansul-brand Purple-K® or similar) is the preferred agent for extinguishing gas fires under
pressure. It is of prime importance to consider the ability to secure the fuel source for all gas fires before
extinguishment is attempted. A gas fire consuming fuel in one location that can be managed is a far
better consequence than a gas cloud that may find an ignition source somewhere else.
5.6. NATURAL GAS FIRE
Natural Gas fires can occur when LNG is released, warmed up, forms a vapor cloud that mixes with an
oxygen sufficient atmosphere (the mixture can neither be too lean or too rich) and then comes in contact
with an ignition source. Natural gas fires can be either an “open” type fire, where the vapor cloud is
open to the surrounding environment, or the “closed” type where the vapor cloud is held within a
confined space such as an enclosed compartment or furnace, or both. The resultant size of a vapor
cloud after a LNG release is directly proportionate to the amount of LNG released.
In any case, if a natural gas fire breaks out, the first action is to secure the source of fuel to the fire, then
create a means of cooling adjacent equipment and exposures using large volumes of water spray.
Evacuate personnel as necessary. The decision should be made whether to attemp to extinguish the
fire or let it burn itself out.
Category I Fire
A Category I gas fueled fire is identified as a fire that will probably remain contained, within the specific
area of origin, has a limited fuel supply, and does not possess the ability to spread further.
The action taken to manage Category I Natural Gas Fire shall include:
Primary Firefighting Equipment typically utilized is hand portable dry chemical fire fighting
extinguisher (s).
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 46 of 104
Water Spray and/or water deluge systems may be employed for thermal protection of personnel
and surrounding structure (s). Additional water spray may be provided by the FSRU’s firefighting
monitors.
Confirm limited fuel supply source to decide whether to extinguish the fire or allow total consumption
of available fuel (burn-out).
Category II Fire
A Category II gas fire is identified as a fire that has migrated outside of the area of origin or initial
containment area, has a substantial fuel supply, and if not addressed quickly, could develop into a
Category III gas fire. Emphasis on managing unnecessary exposure of unprotected personnel and risk
of escalation should be of paramount importance.
Emergency response requires containment of the fire and management of the fuel supply source. This
will usually be accomplished by isolation of the involved piping or system and controlled vaporization of
the LNG released that will typically be associated with this category fire.
The action taken to manage Category II Natural Gas Fire shall include:
Primary Firefighting Equipment typically utilized is fixed fire fighting extinguishing equipments such
as total flooding CO2 systems or large dry chemical systems capable of managinging substantial
fire threat utilizing protected response personnel.
Hand portable fire fighting equipment must be available as back-up.
Water Spray and/or water deluge systems may be employed for thermal protection of personnel
and surrounding structure (s). Additional water spray may be provided by the FSRU’s firefighting
monitors.
Consider additional resources external to the FSRU such as local offshore service vessels to assist.
Confirm fuel supply source to decide whether to extinguish the fire or allow total consumption of
available fuel (burn-out).
In any case, after extinguishment of a Category I or II fire:
A re-flash watch shall be set and adjacent structural cooling shall continue;
All involved or damaged equipment or systems shall be inerted/isolated;
A damage assessment of the involved equipment or system shall be made;
A determination of the root and secondary cause(s) of the fire, including the source of the fuel leak
and location of the ignition source shall be made;
Corrective actions to prevent recurrence shall be taken before cargo operations are allowed to
resume.
Category III Fire
A Category III gas fueled fire is identified as a fire of catastrophic proportion that has major or total
involvement of the FSRU. With a Category III fire, personnel evacuation and preservation of life is of
utmost importance.
Although, the FSRU involved in a Category III gas fueled fire may be saved from total constructive loss,
it is beyond the capability and resources of the FSRU and Engro Enlengy Terminal personnel. Engro
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 47 of 104
Elengy Terminal’s response to catastrophic Category III gas fueled fire shall be to manage the resources
necessary to facilitate the evacuation of Engro Elengy Terminal personnel and the FSRU crew at the
Master’s request. This evacuation of personnel shall include the employment of the FSRU’s lifeboats
and life rafts, service vessels in the vicinity, Port Qasim Authority, and or other qualified local response
services.
5.7. LNG SPILL / GNG RELEASE
LNG is a cryogenic liquid, hazardous to personnel due to low temperature. LNG does not burn. Any
LNG released to atmosphere will warm and vaporize into GNG. GNG is a non-toxic, flammable gas,
lighter than air at ambient temperatures. In an open atmosphere/non-contained condition, GNG is non
explosive. The flammable limits of GNG in air are between 5 % and 15 %. There may be slight variation
to the flammable limits due to the actual composition of the GNG.
The action taken to manage an LNG Spill/GNG Release may include:
The use of water spray as the primary means of liquid vaporization and vapor cloud control.
The source of the LNG/GNG release shall be immediately isolated and secured.
Consideration to force vaporize the LNG with water taking into accoung prevailing wind conditions
and ability of response personnel to control the direction of movement of the GNG vapor cloud that
will be generated.
Consideration to activate the FSRU’s water deluge system and/or water spray from support vessels
to provide protection to personnel, vessels and/or support structures as well as provide control of
vapor cloud movement and vaporization of LNG.
5.8. CRYOGENIC BURNS – COLD LIQUID CONTACT
The effects of cold liquid upon the skin are very rapid and can cause frostbite and freezing. The injury
received can be severe, can occur in seconds, and is the same as a burn injury of 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree.
Indications
1st degree injuries can cause numbing of the skin which may turn white in color. Skin may feel stiff
to the touch, but underlying tissue is still soft.
2nd degree injuries can cause skin to turn white or blue in color and feel hard and frozen. The
underlying tissue is still undamaged, blistering is likely.
3rd degree injuries can cause skin to be white, blotchy, and/or blue in color. The underlying tissue
is hard and cold to the touch.
Treatment
Immediately flush affected areas with clean, cool water.
Wrap affected areas with loose, clean bandages.
Do not rub affected areas.
Seek immediate medical assistance.
Terminal Regulations for Vessels & Receipt
Rev: 3 May 27th, 2015 Page 48 of 104
Precautionary Measures
The adverse effect of LNG upon the skin can be minimized by utilizing the proper personal protective
equipment (PPE). These items include but are not limited to:
Rain Slickers / Foul Weather Gear
Face shields and goggles
Hard hat
Rubber coated gloves
Rubber boots
5.9. THREAT TO SURROUNDING AREA / EVAUATION ROUTES
The area surrounding the Engry Elengy Terminal is largely populated. An incident at the terminal, FSRU
and/or attending LNGC could pose a threat to public safety, hazard/damage to property and/or
significantly disrupt key assets located within that area.
In the event that an uncontrolled emenrgency poses a threat to the general public or vessel transit route,
Engro Elengy Terminal Management will recommend that an off-site eveacuation be ordered.
When the order to evacuate is received, Engro Elengy Terminal Management shall alert local law
enforcement and emergency response agencies to organize a public evacuation of the areas
surrounded by the impacted area. Port Qasim Authority shall assist in determining the impacted
waterways, necessary broadcasts to mariners, and any necessary additional safety zones and / or
waterway restrictions. The evacuation should be in the most direct route away from the incident.

15. ANNEX EEE - OPTIMOOR MOORING ANALYSIS
Engro Elengy Terminal Ltd
Port Qasim, Pakistan
FSRU EXQUISTE (151,000 m3 & Q-Flex 210,000 m3 Introduction The mooring arrangement for the FSRU berthed starboard-side to the jetty of the EETL facility and LNGC Q-Flex vessel berthed outboard, starboard-side to the FSRU was analyzed using the OPTIMOOR, Version 6.2.9 (March 2014) developed by Tension Technology International. The software program produces mooring and fendering system analysis based upon actual numerical models of the vessels expected to call at the facility. The program yields mooring line tension, fender compression and vessel surge and sway based upon the standard OCIMF wind and current conditions, the type and positioning of fenders and the placement of respective mooring hooks. In the case of the Jetty, FSRU and LNGC only quick release mooring hooks (QRH) are used in the mooring arrangement, all moorings are either wire or HMPE and no mixed moorings are allowed. The cases (5) are run basis combinations of wind and current speeds and directions applied are as follows:
Current: 3 knots from ahead and astern (case 1 & 2) 2 knots at 10° on either bow or quarter (cases 3 & 4) 0.75 knot at 90° to ship’s axis (case 5) Wind: 60 knots (30.9 m/s) from any direction
In accordance with OCIMF guidelines, the maximum allowable tension in the mooring lines for each case is taken as 55% of the maximum breaking load of the wires. Results / Conclusions The mooring proposed meets OCIMF criteria basis 53 knot wind sweep for both laden and ballast conditions. The maximum wind sweep is 53 knots, wind speeds greater than 53 kts results in excessive line tension by the LNGC or guest vessel from astern current flow in ballast condition, lines 20-21 50% respectively. This third optimoor study was run to keep HMPE lines below 50% MBL by using a total of 18 lines by LNGC.

19. ANNEX JJJ - SAFETY REQUIREMENTS – MASTERS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Responsibility for the safe conduct of operations whilst your ship is at this terminal rests jointly with you,
as Master of the ship, and with the responsible terminal representative. We wish, therefore, before
operations start, to seek your full cooperation and understanding on the safety requirements set out in
the Ship / Shore Safety Check List which are based on safe practices widely accepted by the LNG, oil
and tanker industries.
We expect you and all under your command to adhere strictly to these requirements throughout your
stay alongside this terminal and, for our part, we will ensure that our personnel do likewise and
cooperate fully with you in the mutual interest of safe and efficient operations.
Before the start of operations, and from time to time thereafter, for our mutual safety, a member of the
terminal staff, where appropriate together with a responsible officer will make a routine inspection of
your ship to ensure that the questions on the Ship / Shore Check List can be answered in the affirmative.
Where corrective action is needed we will not agree to operations commencing or, should they have
been started, will require them to be stopped.
Similarly, if you consider safety is endangered by any action on the part of our staff or by any equipment
under our control you should demand immediate cessation of operations.
THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE WITH SAFETY.
Please acknowledge receipt of this letter by countersigning and returning the RECEIPT OF TERMINAL
