3 Cargo Handling Requirements: Prepurging of Vessel s Tanks: Pre-purge Oxygen Content: Pre-purge Dew Point: Blanket Required: N/A N/A Yes see Regional requirements EU. Percent Oxygen in Nitrogen Blanket: 5% Vapor Space Purge: Loading Temperature Range: Transit Temperature Range: Discharge Temperature Range: Maximum Heating Coil Temperature: Adjacent Maximum Cargo Temperature: Blanked off Regional Requirements: tes: For voyages within the EU inland waterways and for short sea voyages to rth Sea and UK ports, nitrogen blanket is not required. tes: If Nitrogen blanket is in place and Carrier chooses to transship, carrier must reapply nitrogen blanket on the cargo, both on the discharging and receiving ship, at their time, risk, and expense. Tank Acceptance Requirements: All shore and ship cargo lines and tanks are to be presented clean (residual free), dry, odor free, and rust free, with good gaskets and pressure tested heating coils. Stainless Steel or Coated Tanks: Stainless preferred. Coated tanks to be in very good condition with minimal blistering or breakdown. All blisters to be scraped to hard coating. All defects to be noted by the surveyor. Carrier to verify suitability of coating for product. Wall Wash Required: Yes (Inter Europe <10 days not required) 3

4 Tank Acceptance Requirements cont: Wash Specifications: An ASTM E standard methanol wallwash should be taken from at least four spots (at least 6 width and 6 height) on each bulkhead, and also four spots on the tank top. The following composite tests should be run. Appearance, Chlorides, Hydrocarbons, Color, Acidity, Iron Results Appearance Clear bright and particle free Chlorides ug/g(ppm) max Hydrocarbons Pass (ASTM D-1722) Color 10 max Pt-Co (ASTM D-1209) Cargo Sampling, Testing and Sample Retain Requirements. Unless alternative written instructions have been provided by Shell locally, the requirements described here should be met. For each sample which will be tested, a duplicate sample should be taken, retained and sealed in surveyor custody, in a temperature controlled environment. All samples should be stored in clear glass bottles with airtight closures. Samples at loading which must be on a 180 day minimum retain: Shore tank Shore Manifold (end of shore line) Ship Manifold First foot in each ship tank. Ship tank final. 4

5 Ships tanks will be loaded to approximately 1foot and stopped. The product will then be sampled and tested for color, appearance, Specific Gravity and Water. If tanks fail initial test they will be re-sampled and retested. If samples fail second test, Surveyor to contact Shell for further instructions. Surveyor Test Requirements Specification Properties (Test at 1 foot) DEG Global U237 Test Methods Appearance (CFFSM) Pass ASTM D4176 Color, Pt-Co, max 10 ASTM D1209 Specific Gravity, 20/20 C 20 C ASTM D4052 Water, %w, max 0.1 ASTM E1064 Final samples are to be drawn on completion of loading, and prior to padding, for retention only. Cargo Sampling, Testing and Sample Retain Requirements cont. Shore tank prior to discharge. Ship tanks on arrival Ship manifold. (each individual manifold if jump hoses are used) Shore manifold. Shore line at shore tank. Shore tank after discharge. 5

6 Sample Testing and Product release/ Acceptance Requirements. Loading: Shore tank approved by location based on local process. Manifold samples tested in the field for appearance only. Product release based on one (1) foot samples from each tank loaded. Discharge: Product acceptance based on key tests on arrival samples from each tank discharging. Manifold and pump stack samples tested in field for appearance only. Maintenance of heating coils is to be verified in the ship s log. If product is to be heated, heating coils are to be confirmed leak free. If product is not heated, heating coils are to be drained, dried and blanked off. Quality of the shore line to be checked prior to the ship berthing. If necessary the line to be flushed until an on spec. sample is obtained at the shore manifold. Shore hose, if not a dedicated hose must be cleaned. Hose to be clean and dry prior to use. Surveyor to carry out a visual inspection. Prior to opening the ships manifold, the shore hose to be pressed up and sampled for a visual check of color and particulates. Ship lines should be flushed through the drain cocks, include also where there are dead ends. A clear sample should be drawn from these points. Safety Information and Incident Reporting. Safety Information: For more detailed information, refer to the MSDS or e-sds for reportable spill/release quantities whether in the water, air or ground. Incident Reporting: International Registered Vessels: call Shell International Trading and Shipping in London on (44) Jones Act Vessels: call the Shell 24 hr. incident number at The USA National response center telephone number is For additional marine cargo handling advice or information, contact Captain Eddie Trotter at ( ) 6
