6.5 SHIPLOADING

Any vessel agent, coal exporter, contractor, visitor or other person having business with the owners and/or master of the vessel or in connection with a vessel shall undertake and agree to comply with all NCIG safety requirements and comply with and obey all lawful instructions which may be issued or given by NCIG (including NCIG induction training) and indemnify NCIG against loss or damage incurred Any vessel agent, coal exporter, contractor, visitor or other person refusing to give such an undertaking and enter into such agreement will be refused access to the terminal All visitors, coal exporter, contractor or other person having business will coordinate the activities of vessel access/interaction with the relevant vessel agent prior to vessel berthing and be encapsulated on the vessel access plan agreed in same timeframe as set out in as per 6.4.1 Stowage plan guideline

All visitors, vessel crew, subcontractors, vessel agent and any other person who have not either received an identification card or undertaken the NCIG safety induction must present themselves to the wharf security gatehouse to obtain authority to enter the site This authority may be provided by prior notification from the master, otherwise, the nominated vessel will be contacted and an inducted person (e.g Vessel agent) will be required to meet the visitor at the security gatehouse where the visitor shall be escorted to the vessel Closed circuit TV cameras are in place to monitor movements on and near the wharf areas as required by security provisions PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE Requirements)

For the safety of your crew, NCIG’s Health, Safety Environment & Community (HSEC) Management Plan requires that when entering NCIG operational areas, i.e leaving the vessel, the following equipment must be worn:

Trang 22

Eye protection on all wharf areas

Enclosed footwear on all wharf areas A safety helmet on all wharfs areas

High visibility long sleeve and long trouser clothing (safety vest or other high visibility clothing) on all wharf areas

Lifejackets shall be worn when accessing or egressing the vessel or within 2 metres of the wharf edge

Any other safety equipment that may be required in the area being visited or when directed by an NCIG employee

Crew Requirements

Your crew shall provide their own Personal Protective Equipment NCIG will not provide Personal Protective Equipment

Vessel crew shall wear the appropriate equipment when on all berth areas in the NCIG terminal (This shall include transiting from the gangway to a vehicle and back)

The equipment may be left at the security gate or taken with the crew member when not on NCIG property The Security Officer will register the equipment being

left in the container for storage at the gatehouse

NCIG will only provide Personal Protective Equipment in circumstances where crew members are joining the vessel for the first time This Personal Protective Equipment shall be returned prior to the vessel sailing

All NCIG employees are required to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment whilst on board a vessel

NCIG recommends that the vessel crew adhere to this policy, including hearing protection, when near a shiploading operation

6.5.1 Vessel Berthing

A vessel shall not be berthed unless the total consignment is assembled at the Port or in the opinion of Coal Terminal Management, 95% of the consignment will be

Trang 23

available prior to commencement of loading and the remaining 5% will be delivered during the course of loading and will not cause delays ‘waiting on coal’

Where a vessel is required to clean holds or to execute repairs which will immobilise a vessel or restrict it from sailing, NCIG-CET and the Harbour Master, through the Ship's Agents, must be advised prior to loading commencing The vessel shall not be permitted to remain at the coal loading berth to clean holds or to load and wait for completion of repairs at the coal loading berth The removal of the vessel shall be carried out at no cost to NCIG-CET

If as a result of Commonwealth Surveyor Inspection (AMSA) a vessel is found to be defective, NCIG-CET is to be advised immediately if such defects will effect loading operations and/or vessel departure and the effect of the defect noted The vessel may be required to relocate to another berth in the port to undertake any repairs etc but this will be at no cost to NCIG-CET

Vessels at the berth shall load to sail on the first available high tide within the tonnage range specified in the Shipping Contract if another vessel is awaiting the berth or will be delayed in berthing

6.5.2 Vessel Mooring

Mooring services are as listed for Tugs and Utilisation as listed in section 6.3.4;

Whilst at berth, it is the Master of the Vessel’s responsibility to ensure the adequate and safe mooring of the vessel including:

e Utilisation of polypropylene mooring lines

e The quality and suitable condition of vessel mooring lines

e The correct mooring arrangement for berth conditions including a minimum of 150m length on stern lines for K9 western most berthing

e The ongoing review of mooring line tension and secure placement to ensure the vessel does not move from auto tensioning

6.5.3 Gangways

The master shall provide a proper and safe means of access to and from the vessel at all times as per the requirement of Marine Orders Part 23 For NCIG this

Trang 24

relates to but not limited to:

e Gangways shall be supported at the top and landed on a fixed structure (wharf platform)

e Gangway safety nets to handrail height to aid in fall prevention Gangways shall be as near to complete assembly (rigged) including these components prior to berthing

e The issuing and compliance with the wearing of lifejackets whilst ever on the gangway.”

e The gangway is maintained to a safe and operable standard at all times *All persons boarding a vessel are required to maintain three points of contact and be wearing a lifejacket

6.5.4 Vessel Signup and Vessel Signoff

Upon berthing, a NCIG Technician will liaise with the Vessel Representative to confirm details of the previously advised stowage plan and to conduct the ‘Ship to Shore Safety Checklist’ prior to load commencement

The Shipper’s Surveyor will ensure that initial draught survey is conducted and be in attendance at the vessel sign to advise vessel and terminal that the vessel is cleared to load

Details within the stowage plan will be discussed and signed up at this time and any variations will require notification in writing and will require the vessel agent, vessel representative, terminal representative and delegates thereof to sign for the alterations

It is intended that this process will take 40 minutes from actual time of berthing Receipt of CET Operational Handbook and understanding of contents within will be confirmed in addition during this liaison

Upon completion of loading, a NCIG Technician will liaise with the vessel representative to confirm tonnage loaded and signoff the vessel This will include sign off on stowage plan, mate’s receipt and shiploader log

Trang 25

6.5.5 Marine Surveyors (Shipper and Vessel) and Draught Survey a Marine Surveyor (Shipper)

The party representing the shipper will engage a Marine Surveyor to be in attendance at the vessel sign up to ensure that initial draught survey is conducted prior to loading and final draught survey is conducted at the completion of loading to verify the tonnage loaded onto the vessel on behalf of the shipper

b Marine Surveyor (Vessel)

It is a NCIG requirement that a Marine Surveyor is engaged by the vessel (or vessel's agent) prior to port entry to:

e Assist the Master to load the vessel in an effective manner as per the agreed stowage plan The responsibility for the safe loading of the vessel resides with the Master

e Attend the vessel at the commencement of the pour prior to interim draught survey to undertake a running draught survey and advise any weighing error in terminal weighing devices The appointed Vessel Surveyor will then maintain contact until interim draught survey at which point he will remain with the vessel until completion

e Advise the Terminal Representative or delegate thereof of the interim draught survey results

The Vessel Master should ensure safe and timely access and egress to the vessel and parts of the vessel for the Vessel Surveyors to safely conduct their respective scope of work

Subject to vessel requirements, there should be a maximum of one interim draft survey requiring a cessation of shiploading but subject always to the Vessel Master's instructions

*Note: In the event of more than one type of coal being loaded into the same hold (hatch), or more than one coal type being loaded into a vessel, belt weighers will be used to calculate individual tonnages Unless there are special circumstances, there should be no draught surveys between coal types

Trang 26

6.5.6 Loading Procedures

Shippers will have available an authorised representative at all times shiploading is in progress to deal with any matters which may arise

All coal that is reclaimed from the stockpile must be loaded onto the ship

During the loading operations, the trim and stability of the vessel remains the responsibility of the Master at all times

At all times during the loading of a vessel, a suitably competent designated Terminal Representative or competent delegate of (An NCIG Technician) is to be available to ensure that loading operations are carried out in accordance with the Master's instructions

All vessels shall load on a continuous basis

Shippers will be required to advise of the attending superintending representative details Any issues arising with sample plant reliability will be communicated with shippers directly and immediately to seek direction on loading instruction

Should a vessel's Master/Ship Owner not comply with the requirements of these guidelines and for no sound reason lay at either Coal Berth for extended periods when loading has ceased or cause serious disruptions to operations or maintenance then the vessel's Master/Ship Owner will be penalised according to the terms set out in NCIG's CET Operational Handbook — Section 6.5

"6.5 Delays (Extract from NCIG-CET Conditions of Use)

Delays caused by the vessel to shiploading operations, due to non compliance with either the Guidelines, Conditions of Use or any other vessel caused delay, may attract, after an initial warning letter is distributed to all parties, a charge as specified in the Guidelines up to but not exceeding US$1,000 per hour This charge is payable on invoice rendered by or on behalf of the Operator within seven (7) days of date of invoice."

6.5.7 Deballasting and Notice of

Ballast is to be discharged at a rate which prevents disruption to loading, final trimming and completion

Trang 27

In the event that a vessel at the berth requires to stop loading the notice provided to the terminal will be at least notice of one hour or one full hatch run The agreed stowage plan will be referenced regarding the planned nature of the deballasting The vessel is required also to advise of the expected duration of the deballasting delay The terminal may commence loading another vessel during an extended deballast delay The terminal will need at least notice of one hour from the ship of its intention to recommence loading and that no further delays due to deballasting are expected 6.5.8 Vessel Trimming

As per 6.6 STOWAGE and LOADING ADVICE,

Vessels are expected to load and depart on the closest tide to the estimated time of loading completion Vessels that are tide restricted for sailing shall sail on the first available high water

NPC sets sailing times based on available vessel movement opportunities to meet advice from NCIG on the completion of loading times

The Master of the Vessel is requested to ensure preparation for sea is completed soon after the completion of loading, in accordance with good seamanship practice so that the timetable of vessel movements set by NPC can be met
