This document provides guidelines for tanker loading and offloading marine procedures. It defines basic principles for developing safe and efficient loading and offloading configurations. The procedures apply to tankers that ship hydrocarbons, liquefied gases, or chemicals in bulk and involve mooring to jetties, buoys, and floating production storage and offloading units. The document covers operational requirements, general descriptions, and recommendations for different phases of loading and offloading operations.

TANKER LOADING - OFFLOADING MARINE
PROCEDURES
• define the basic principles to be applied when preparing
Loading/Offloading Marine Procedures, thus providing the
safest and most efficient configuration to reach the
objectives.
Purpose:
• Tankers shipping hydrocarbons, liquefied gases or
chemicals in bulk and their operations include mooring to
jetties, buoys and F(P)SU’s for the purpose of loading or
discharging liquid petroleum cargoes such as crude oil,
methanol and bunkers (gasoil or other) or chemicals as the
case may be.
Application:
• Operational Requirments
• General Description
• Recommandations for different phases

MAIN CHANGES OF REV.02 COMPARED TO REV.02 :
- Additional guidance on operational limits for offshore
terminals, included example diagrams for approach,
residence and departure at offloading buoy, tandem
spread/turret moored F(P)SU.
- New section for marine simulations and/or specific marine
studies.
