Bridge & Deck ProceduresRecord Book (Part 2) or Cargo Record Book as required by MARPOL 73/78as amendedA detailed receipt or certificate is to be obtained for all slop or dirty ballastdischarges and kept in the Oil Record Book (Part 2).The quantity of oil remaining on board at completion of discharge is to beminimised by thoroughly draining all tanks, pipelines and pumps anddischarging the oil ashore. Stripping of tanks shall be conducted inaccordance with Ship’s P & A Manual, where applicable.Crude oil carriers are to load the new crude oil cargo on top of theprevious cargo unless instructed otherwise by the Company or Charterer.A vessel designated as a Crude Oil Washing (COW) tanker, where possibleand depending on the type of crude, must always carry out a full Crude OilWashing programme, as this helps significantly to reduce the amount ofoil retained on boardAll tank washings are to be stripped to the slop tank provided the tankwashings do not react to different residues and left to settle. Once settledthe water bottom in the slop tank can be carefully decanted, wherepossible, leaving the oil on board. This oil is retained on board and thenext cargo is loaded on top or discharged to reception facilitiesWhile decanting Annex I Slops overboard, Discharge criteria ofRegulation 34 of Annex 1 of MARPOL 73 / 78 shall be satisfied as follow: • The tanker is not with in a special area • The tanker is more than 50 nautical miles form the nearest land • The tanker is proceeding en route • The instantaneous rate of discharge of oil content does not exceed 30 liters per nautical mile • The total quantity of oil discharged into the sea does not exceed for tankers delivered on or before 31 December 1979 as defined in regulation 1.28.1, 1/15000 of total quantity of the particular cargo of which the residue formed a part, and for tankers delivered after 31 December 1979, as defined in regulation 1.28.2, 1/30000 of the total quantity of the particular cargo of which the residue formed a partControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 015CARGO TRANSFER PROCEDURE Approval: WBF Page: 52 of 60

Bridge & Deck Procedures • The tanker has in operation and oil discharge monitoring and control system and a slop tank arrangement as required by regulation 29 and 31 of this annex.MARPOL Annex II affects all ships carrying Noxious Liquid Cargoes inbulk. Even after careful unloading, final disposal of residues may only becarried out with approved procedures and arrangements. It is necessaryfor tanks that have contained some specified cargoes to have a first rinseat the unloading port, called a pre-wash, and the initial washingsdischarged to shore reception facilities (usually the cargo receivers).When a tank is washed with a washing medium other than water whichwould itself require control if carried as a cargo, discharge or disposal ofthe strippings will be governed by the provisions of MARPOL applyingeither to the washing medium or to the original cargo, whichever are themore severe.Discharge into the sea of cargo residues and tank cleaning products isstrictly controlled. It is recommended that any discharge should be as farfrom land as practicable.While decanting Annex II Slops overboard, Discharge criteria ofRegulation 13 of Annex 1 of MARPOL 73 / 78 shall be satisfied as follow:Ship is en route at a speed of at least 7 knots in case of self propelledship.Underwater discharge not exceeding the designed maximum rate ofunderwater discharge.Discharge made at a distance of not less than 12 nautical miles fromnearest land in a depth of water not less than 25 meters.Category Z residues underwater discharge is not mandatory for shipsconstructed before 1 January 2007.Prewash and tank cleaning requirements are detailed in Regulation 13 andAppendix 4 of annex II of MAPROL 73 / 78, which shall be followed.Jettison of cargo of noxious liquid substances or mixture may be madewhen such discharge is made in accordance to the exceptions given inRegulation 3 of annex II of MARPOL 73 / 78.The above provisions do not apply to the discharge of clean or segregatedballast.Controlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 015CARGO TRANSFER PROCEDURE Approval: WBF Page: 53 of 60

Bridge & Deck Procedures15.32 STS Personnel Transferring ProceduresIntroductionThe personnel transfer by basket is a method of transporting personnel inexceptional or other circumstances, when no alternative means oftransferring is available or is more impracticable or unsafe. The basketshould be cleaned thoroughly, once a month, and visually inspectedbefore use.The Safety Officer will carry out routine thorough inspections monthly anda manufacturer’s certificate will be held in the rigging and lifting register.15.32.1 Use of Personnel Transfer BasketBilly Pugh baskets are certified for their maximum personnel carryingcapacity. This capacity should be clearly marked on all baskets.The basket is equipped with a circumference bumper to protect personnelon the basket from injury should the basket swing into a fixed object.Personnel will only be allowed to ride on the outside of the basket, facinginwards. The inside of the basket is designed only for lightweight itemssuch as hand baggage or small items. It is not to be used to transportitems that may damage the canvas or ropes, such as heavy toolboxes,items with sharp edges, or grease or chemical containers.Note: Transfers should only be made with the agreement of those persons beingtransferred. Do not transfer injured persons by a personnel basket.15.32.2 ResponsibilityIn general, transfer operations should be conducted duringdaylight hours. However, if Master considers that the conditionsare such that in his experience, i.e. the sea state, visibility andwind speed are acceptable, transfer can go ahead during the hoursof darkness. However, all safety procedures are to be in place aslisted below, the transfer areas are to be adequately illuminatedand the operation is to be under the direction of responsibleperson such as Safety officer / OOW.During or before a basket transfer, it is the Safety Officer’s duty to ensurethat the person has been briefed, trained and that all the stipulatedrequirements (as stated in the current procedure) are adhered to.

Bridge & Deck Procedures15.32.5 TrainingPersonnel will be transferred by basket in greater safety and with lessapprehension if they have had some training in the techniques involved.Such on board training involving deck crew should be maintained in HSQE012.15.32.6 Emergency SituationsDuring personnel basket transfers, there may be instances whereby theGeneral alarms are sounded. In such instances, the following actions mustbe taken.On hearing this alarm, the priority will be to land any personnel in abasket as safely as possible. If the basket is nearer the supply vessel,then personnel should be put down on that. If the basket is nearer thedeck of own vessel, then personnel should be safely put down on board.Once the safe deposit of the transfer personnel has been completed, theCrane Driver and associated crew members will make their way to theirmuster points. The Crane Driver and Banksman will be equipped withradios and should report into the CCR their latest status in such situations15.33 Equipment And ReagentsReagent • Pure methanol (500ml/bottle) • Pure water (distillate water) • Acetone (500ml/bottle) • 2% agno3 solution (500ml/bottle) • 20% hno3 solution (500ml bottle) • 10ppm (0.01 mg/ml) chlorine standard solution (500ml/bottle) • 0.02% kmno4 solution (500ml/bottle) – store in dark place and keep cool temperature.Instrument • Funnel x 1 • Plastic bottles (500ml x 2 bottles for methanol washing / pure water dropping) • Nessler – tube (100ml x 6pcs) • Pipette (5ml x 4pcs for agno3/hno3/cl/kmno4 respectively)Controlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 015CARGO TRANSFER PROCEDURE Approval: WBF Page: 57 of 60

Before a certificate expires, renewal must be applied for in ample time. The Master shall keep a separate file for the vessel's \"Trading Certificates\" with a list of the contents showing issuing date and validity (File Index 4.1). Any recommendations or conditions of class issued in connection with renewal, annual or intermediate surveys are to be complied with, immediately, and SeaTeam is to be advised of their imposition and correction. • Every COC is to be entered in the ShipNet Database as a Non- Conformity with alert & closure dates set to activating in advance expiry of the COC Class and Statutory Surveys Separate files shall be maintained for class quarterly and annual status reports, surveys reports and correspondence with the Flag State. See File No 4.2 5.1 and 5.2. Specific attention is drawn to the Liberian FlagControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 016STATUTORY CERTIFICATES & RECORDS Approval: WBF Page: 1 of 3

Bridge & Deck ProceduresState Annual Safety Inspection. On Liberian Flagged vessels, theMaster must ensure that the annual safety inspection is carried out asper Liberian Maritime Regulation 7.191 (ref.: RLM-300). The Master isto ensure that class and statutory surveys are carried out within thedue dates. The Master is to coordinate this with the superintendentand Fleet Group Manager. The Fleet Group Manager and superintendentare to be advised immediately of any defects, deficiencies and damagesaffecting class or a certificate.Notification of Expiry DatesOn the date which a class certificate expires, (windows taken intoconsideration) classification of the ship and all other class certificateswill be suspended automatically. The result of this is that the ship'sinsurance cover will become invalid. Therefore, the Master is toregularly review the certificate situation with the Chief Engineer andwithin the Sunday message advise of any certificate which are due toexpire within the next four (4) weeks.16.2 Multiple Load Line CertificatesFor any change of freeboard: • Only one set of marks shall be visible on the ships side and the associated load line certificate shall be displayed at all times • The remaining load line marks shall be properly obliterated with paint and the remaining load line certificate (s) not being used, shall be kept away from the one in use; and • An official entry shall be made in the official log book every time the load line mark has been changed • Other statutory certificates with indication of deadweight not corresponding to the international load line certificate in use, shall also be kept away from the one in use. • If not required to be recognized by a RO (Class), as is the case for Honk Kong Flag, vessels, Masters are to refer to and maintain copy of the flag circular on Multiple Load linesControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 016STATUTORY CERTIFICATES & RECORDS Approval: WBF Page: 2 of 3

Bridge & Deck Procedures17.2 Cargo Gear Register  The cargo gear register must contain a “rigging plan” that lists where all lose gear is being used, i.e. which blocks, hooks, swivels etc. are being used with which crane etc.  All lifting gear must be certified and the certificate must be on file, ready for inspection when required. The certificate lists the identification mark on each item of gear.  Annual examinations must be done at least every 12 months. A competent person such as Master, Chief Engineer or Chief Mate can do this provided the certificate of class does not have notation referring to the cranes. It is recommended that this be done at the time of annual surveys ad the attending surveyor should be asked to stamp the cargo register.  Every 5 years the cargo gear must be load tested and this must be recorded in the cargo gear register. This can only be done by Class surveyor. Some confusion occurs at this point as the proof loads required for loose gear is greater than that of the crane. However, if the block, hook etc is permanently attached to the crane, it is not considered as loose gear.  Every 5 years, all loose gear must be tested and thoroughly examined by Class. According to Class, thorough examination may be sufficient and testing is at the attending surveyor’s discretion. Hence, it is possible that after thorough examination, he will not require further testing, or testing of one set of gear or testing of all loose gear. However, this is not acceptable under Australian Marine orders. Therefore, during docking the master and superintendent should take the opportunity to test all loose gear to avoid the possibility of future problems that could prove costly.  Ships staff, prior to arrival at any port where ships cargo gear will be used should use Checklists and SeaTeam Form 033.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 2 of 15

The ShipNet Planned Maintenance System should be theprimary tool utilized to monitor and record completion of works requiredalthough certain forms will be needed and should be attached andimported in the system when used as records.17.4.1 Mooring Winch Brake TestsBrake Holding Capacity (BHC) tests are required to be carried outannually at rendering power in accordance OCIMF Mooring EquipmentGuidelines by using the following procedure:  After rigging the BHC test equipment, the brakes on the drums of the winch should be tightened as much as possible.  The hydraulic jack should then be pumped up to a power equal to 60% of the MBL of the mooring ropes  The brake should then be released slowly till it starts to slip.  A breakable plastic cable tie should then be fastened around the threads of the spindle of the braking device to mark the correct torque setting, so that the brakes can be tightened to this reference mark (to ensure that brakes slip at 60% of the MBL)Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 3 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures17.5 Gas Detection InstrumentsGas detection instruments require special attention as the equipment isoften scrutinized by Port State and Vetting Inspectors. It is extremelyimportant that deck officers know and can basic procedures for onboardcalibration. Should there be any doubt function or procedure, theinstrument should not be used until guidance is obtained from the HSQEDepartment:  All portable gas monitoring equipment is to be serviced and calibrated annually by an authorized manufacturer’s agent  Only half the inventory of portable gas detection instruments should be landed for shore calibration at any one time, in order to ensure at least one set of each type instrument is retained onboard for crew use  Always refer to the manufacturers instruction manuals when preparing to calibrate a specific instrument  Each vessel must have a full set of English language instruction manuals for each type of Gas Detection Instrument carried  All vessels must maintain an inventory of Gas Detection Instruments and accessories for the vessel type as specified on Master-List 014 - Minimum Inventory of Gas Detection Instruments  Instrument calibration should be checked as recommended by the manufacturer  Only accessories and equipment of same maker may be used for instrument calibration17.5.1 Calibration ProcedureGenerally, to calibrate a Gas Instrument:  Inflate a test bag (a balloon like device with a hose and hose crimping clamp) or use a manufacturer provided regulator and hose to connect span gas to inlet side of the instrument via suction hoseControlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 4 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures  Release the clamp or open the regulator and induce the fuel/air concentration of span gas (as listed on the can), and verify the instrument reads the same concentration as the gas induced when reading the appropriate scale  If the same reading is achieved, the meter is in calibration  If not, the span adjustment screw must be rotated until the meter reads the same concentration as the span gas is induced to achieve calibrationOxygen MetersOxygen meters are instruments that detect the percentage oxygen in theatmosphere. Because Oxygen is present in air, oxygen meters may becalibrated in ambient air as follows:  Turn the unit power on, allow to warm-up, and a reading of 21% should be obtained in normal outside air  If the meter reads 21% in normal air, the meter is in calibration  If not, the span adjustment screw must be rotated until the meter reads 21% while in normal air  It should be noted that Oxygen meters used to check oxygen levels in an inert atmosphere (such as a cargo tank) should be zeroed with 99.9% Nitrogen in order to confirm calibration and the validity of the sensorMulti-Gas Detector Tubes and PumpsMulti-gas tube type detectors are used to measure specific quantities ofknown airborne toxins. The Drager bellows pump and detector tubes arethe company standard. To Calibrate a Drager type instrument:  Perform a leak test of the bellows by squeezing the bellows fully closed and inserting an un-opened tube  If the instrument does not expand within the time specified in the user’s manual, the instrument the pump is in calibrationControlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 5 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures Detector tubes are calibrated by the volume of air in the bellows in relation to a specific number of pump compressions needed to achieve a correct reading for a specific contaminant Refer to the instructions provided in the tube box to determine the number of strokes required17.6 Loading/Stress ComputerThis instrument is provided to supplement the stability booklet for thevessel. It allows the responsible officer responsible; to carry out thevarious complex calculations required ensuring the ship is notoverstressed or damaged during the loading, discharge o carriage of thenominated cargo. It will also permit the assessment of damage stability.  The Master and Chief Officer will make themselves aware of the worst case damage stability condition within the stability booklet.  It is Company policy that test conditions must be run and records of results maintained as soon as possible after a change of Chief Officer and at least every three months and in any case prior to the vessel proceeding to dry-dock.  The frequency and records of such tests are to be recorded in the vessel’s planned maintenance system.  Where tests reveal significant errors, the Company is to be advised immediately.  When online gauging of tank contents is not fitted, the loading computer is to be regularly updated in order that stresses, draft and trim can be monitored throughout loading and discharge operations.17.7 P/V ValvesPressure/Vacuum valves are designed to protect cargo tanks and providefor the flow of gas in or out of the tank to avoid excessive vacuum or overpressurization of the tank. P/V Valves should be set to operate in advanceof the liquid pressure/vacuum breaker.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 6 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures  P/V valves are to be clearly marked with their high pressure and vacuum opening pressures.  Valves are to be inspected regularly and thoroughly overhauled and de-carbonised as specified by the manufacturers’ instructions.  In addition, annual testing of each PV valve is to be carried out in the workshop to ensure that both sides of the valve open at the specified pressure and vacuum. All such maintenance is to be recorded in the PMS System.17.8 Flame Screens  Flame gauzes/screens on P/V valves, Hi-Jet type valves, vapour lines, mast risers, purge pipes, p/v breakers and on ullage ports are to be inspected every three months and replaced as necessary.  Flame screens on ballast tank and bunker tank vents must be inspected every six months and replaced, as necessary.17.9 P/V BreakerEvery inert gas system is required to be fitted with one or morepressure/vacuum breakers or other approved devices. These are designedto protect the cargo tanks against excessive pressure or vacuum and musttherefore be kept in perfect working order by regular maintenance inaccordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  These are liquid filled type; it is important to ensure that the correct fluid is used and the correct level maintained for the density of the liquid used. The level can normally only be checked when there is no pressure in the inert gas deck main. Evaporation, condensation and possible ingress or sea water must be taken into consideration when checking the liquid condition, density and level.  In heavy weather, the pressure surge caused by the motion of the liquid in the cargo tanks may cause the liquid in the pressure/vacuum breaker to be blown out. When cold weatherControlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 7 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures conditions are expected, liquid filled breakers must be checked to ensure that the liquid is suitable for low temperature use, and if necessary anti-freeze is to be added.  The P/V breaker(s) are to be clearly marked with their high pressure and vacuum opening pressures, the type and volumetric concentration of antifreeze (if water filled type), and the minimum operating temperature.17.10 Deck Seal & Non-Return Check ValvesOn vessels fitted with an inert gas system it is a requirement to maintaina positive seal between the cargo tanks and the inert gas generationplant. This is accomplished by the use of a non-return valve and a DeckWater Seal. The water seal and non-return valve ensure that the cargotank atmosphere cannot leak back to the engine room or inert gasgenerator.  In vessels fitted with a Venturi type “Dry” deck water seal, particular care must be taken with inspections of the Venturi non return valves and/or orifice plates, as applicable, to ensure that there is no corrosion or damage which would allow excessive carry over of water into the inert gas piping system and cargo tanks.  Filters in the system must be removed regularly for inspection and repair if necessary.  When vessels are trading in cold weather areas it is essential that deck seal heating systems are checked as being operational.  During carriage of flammable cargoes, including when there is a presence of flammable slops onboard, the deck seal pump shall be kept operational on a continuous basis and all alarm systems relating to the pump pressure, or level of water in deck seal, shall be kept in full operation.  Deck seals and non-return valves shall be opened up at periods not exceeding 12 months for inspection of all internal parts, venturies etc.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 8 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures17.11 Tank Gauging Equipment  The components of all cargo and ballast tank level gauging equipment are to be operationally tested prior to every cargo operation and inspected/cleaned as required, according to the maker’s instructions.  Comparison readings between fixed and portable gauging systems should be taken at regular intervals throughout the loading/discharging periods in order to ascertain any discrepancies between the systems.17.12 Safety Devices & SystemsBilge Alarms  Pump-room bilge alarms are to be tested weekly and prior to every cargo operation.Pump Suction Strainers  The continued efficient operation of cargo pumps requires that the pump suction strainers are kept clean as follows:- o Main cargo pump suction strainers are to be opened up for inspection and cleaning at least once every YEAR. o Cargo stripping pump suction strainers are to be opened up for inspection and cleaning at least once every SIX months on a ballast voyage and in particular after tank cleaning has been completed. o Ballast pump suction strainers are to be opened up for inspection and cleaning at least once every year.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 9 of 15

Bridge & Deck ProceduresPump Safety Devices  Cargo and ballast pump safety devices are to be tested at least once per loaded voyage, just prior to the first discharge port, or monthly on voyages of short duration before commencement of discharge. On satisfactory completion of the tests an appropriate log entry is to be made.Tank Cleaning Equipment  Tank cleaning machines, when not being used regularly, are to be checked in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  Tank cleaning hoses are to be checked for electrical continuity before each operationCargo Tank Pressure AlarmsSome vessels may be fitted with tank pressure alarms as an alternative tosecondary venting. These alarms must be set at a level higher than thePV Valves  The pressure that the alarm activates must be clearly indicated in the CCR o As a general rule, tankers should set the alarms at 10% above the design opening settings of the p/v valve.  If a vapour recovery system (VRS) is fitted, a pressure alarm will be fitted in the vapour return line. This must be set to actuate before the p/v valve design pressures. The USCG requires this alarm to be set to 90% of the designed p/v valves actuation settings. Full details of the VEC system will be in the ship specific Vapour Emission Control (VOC) Manual.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 10 of 15

For this purpose they shall not be set to higher level than 95%.Tank Overfill Alarms  All tank overfill alarms shall be tested, prior to each cargo operation according to makers manual.  Tank overfill alarms are to be switched on and operational during all cargo operations. Log entries are to be made confirming the above, with any defects being advised to the office immediately.  The audio and visual alarm positions on deck must be clearly identified with a stencil of 50mm height in black letters on white – “TANK OVERFILL ALARM”. If each tank has a different alarm the tank must also be identified.17.13 Tank Radar Systems  All vessels fitted with tank radar ullage systems are to make routine cleaning of radar antennas as per maker’s instructions.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 11 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures17.14 Oil Discharge Monitoring & Control Equipment  Vessels fitted with equipment for monitoring the discharge of effluent from slop tanks must ensure that this equipment is operational before any discharge is made. The operation of this equipment must be in accordance with the approved “Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems Operation Manual”.  A system check according to the manufacturer’s manual is to be carried out at intervals not exceeding one month.  Printed records from the monitoring equipment must be retained on board.17.15 Portable Gauging & Sampling Equipment  Every vessel must be provided with a minimum of three units capable of closed measuring of ullages and temperatures. At least one unit shall also be capable of determining interface readings for determining cargo quantity.  Each instrument shall be calibrated by an independent organisation once per annum.  Earthing requirements of the instrument must always be complied with, as per the manufacturer’s instructions.  Every tank vessel shall also be provided with a closed sampling and dipping devices.17.16 Valves Valve integrity is essential in maintaining a fully operational and reliable cargo pipeline system and hence, the operation of a tanker. All vessels must carry out a valve function test every 6 months to check the following:  That all valves operate throughout their full rangeControlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 12 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures  That all valves close fully  New vessels must, in addition, carry out this test prior to arrival at the first load port  To ensure that valves are not leaking all valves are to be pressure tested whenever it is practicable every six months.  This will require the Chief Officer to draw up a comprehensive test programme, which allows the checking of all valves in the system.  When a valve is overhauled or replaced after maintenance, then a check is to be made to ensure that the valve is fully operational, opening and closing correctly and that the actuator and remote indicators are registering the correct position of the valve.Sea Suction and Overboard Valves Prior to every loading and discharge port the pipes between the double sea suction and overboard valves in the cargo system are to be drained of water and air tested.  Air pressure up to maximum of 3.5 kg (exercise care so as not to exceed the pressure) where pressure will be steady if there is no leakage of the valves.  Tests are to be entered in the ‘Deck Log Book’.  Any leakages detected are to be immediately advised to the Company.  This test is not required if physical blanks are used in the line. After completion of testing the air pressure is to be reduced to zero.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 13 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures17.17 Pipelines Vessel’s Oil Transfer system should be tested to 100% of their rated working pressure (Sometimes referred to as Maximum Allowable working pressure- MAWP) at least annually. Oil transfer systems should be tested to 1.5 times their rated working pressure at least twice within any five –year period. It is envisioned that the 1.5 times MAWP test will be conducted during the drydock periods at the discretion of the owners or operators. Vessel’s Oil transfer system includes the discharge pump and piping between the pump and the vessel’s manifold, excluding any non-metallic hoses. Federal Regulation 33 CFR 156.170 states that static liquid pressure test is required for marine transportation related pipelines handling oil to ensure their integrity and safety. Pressure testing should be a hydrostatic test, pressure testing using compressed gas or inert gas is not acceptable. MAWP can be assumed to be either the pressure at which the transfer piping relief valve is set or, where no relief valve(s) are fitted , the maximum discharge pressure that can be developed by the vessel’s pump or , the designed working pressure of the pipe. For centrifugal pumps this is the pressure developed by the pump at zero flow conditions. Pipelines should be marked with date of test & test pressure.  Test criteria: o Test pressure shall be maintained for a minimum of 10 minutes and held for such additional time as may be necessary to conduct the examination for leakage. o The pipe and all joint sections must maintain the test pressure for the duration of the test without damage or permanent distortion. o For pipe that can be visually examined, leakage should be physically checked. o Immediately after completion of the pressure test, it is important in cold weather that the lines, valves, and fittingsControlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 14 of 15

Bridge & Deck Procedures be drained completely of liquid prone to freezing to avoid damage to the pipeline o On satisfactory completion of the test a suitable Deck Log entry is to be made. The entry required is as follows: “Deck cargo lines tested to … (insert test pressure)”. o The pressure used and the date is to be stenciled on each line adjacent to the manifold on both sides of the vessel. Documentation and Filing o Cargo Gear Register - Masters Office o SeaTeam Form No. TECH 039 – Checklist for Cargo Gear o SeaTeam Form No. TECH 002 – Equipment Calibration Record Distribution o Full Management Vessels – File Originals References o Class Rules o Instruction Manuals (Class approved pump certificates, Piping diagram, Cargo Oil Handling System) o International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT) o CFR 33 parts 125 to 199Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015PCM Part A – BDP Doc No. 017DECK & CARGO GEAR MAINTENANCE Approval: WBF Page: 15 of 15
