They manage and command all movements of ships, boats and floating units. All movements of ships, boats and floating

units shall be carried out in compliance with regulatory signal codes. However, any orders given by port officers, deputy

port officers and port supervisors shall prevail over signals.

All movements of ships, boats and floating units shall be performed in accordance with maritime practices and

specific instructions, under the aegis of their captain or owner, who shall remain in control of and responsible for the

manoeuvres and must make every effort to prevent accidents. Manoeuvres shall be performed at speeds that do not

endanger other users, maritime or salvage works, waterways, quays and wharves or other facilities. Every captain,

master or owner of a ship, boat or any other floating unit shall be obliged to obey regulation signals or orders issued,

must be in good condition and suited to the properties of the ship. If necessary, every captain, owner or watchman on

board shall reinforce the moorings, or have them reinforced, and take all precautions ordered by the Port Officers or

supervisors. No objection will be accepted to mooring coupled with another ship, as ordered by the Port Officers or

supervisors and at the request of the Port Authority, when operating needs so require. ”

“ At any time, the Port Authority may decide to move a ship, boat or floating unit, according to operational requirements

or work done within the port. ”

“ Any ship, boat or floating unit moored in the port and manned must have the necessary personnel on board to carry

out all manoeuvres, should they be required and to facilitate the movements of other ships, boats or floating units ; if

unmanned, it must have at least one watchman on board. ”

“ Pumping out of ballast water of ships, boats or floating units inside the port is to be carried out under the control of

the Port Authority, which may prohibit or interrupt said operations whenever they are likely to pose a threat to port


public property, the safety of the ship or protection of the environment. The Port Authority may, at any time, request

The MARSEILLE SPAF [border police] may also, for reasons deemed ”compelling and unforeseeable”, issue visas to seafarers in transit, according with the European Code of Visas, in force since the 5th of April 2011 (EC regulation n°810/2009 of 2009/7/13). This procedure must, however, be restricted to highly exceptional cases. The normal process, defined by applicable legislation and confirmed by the Immigration Department of the Ministry of the Interior, Overseas Possessions, Territorial Administrations and Immigration [Ministère de l’Intérieur, de l’Outre Mer, des Collectivités Territoriales et de l’Immigration], consists in applying for a visa at the Consular Services in a seafarer’s country of residence.

Personnel on board and seafarers must be in possession of valid identity documents and those justifying their jobs on board. Controls may be conducted by border police agents on board and/or on land, at any time.

Any foreign citizen in illegal status is subject to being deported to his country of origin, voluntarily or by force, except on exceptional grounds to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.Foreigners’ rights are protected by oversight powers exercised by the jurisdictions and, in particular, by the judicial courts.

It is compulsory for seamen going ashore to hold their seamen book by themselves.Please check with your agent concerning any questions on this matter.

7.PORT DESCRIPTION


7.1 General informationThe Port of Marseille Fos is divided into two distinct parts: The Eastern Harbours and the Western Harbours.

The Eastern Harbours, located close to the city of Marseille, are dedicated to national and international ferry traffic, cruise ships, RoRo ships, container ships, bulk carriers (sugar, flour, wheat, alumina, etc.), and so on. They are comprised of seven docks, six of which are contiguous and connected by passageways, along with two outer docks, one to the North and one to the South.

The Western Harbours, which are accessed via the Omega Buoy through a channel in the Gulf of Fos, are dedicated to crude oil and oil products, chemicals, gas, container, bulk and RoRo traffic..

7.2 DevelopmentsThe Port of Marseille Fos recently carried out works to widen the North Pass of the Eastern harbours (from 190 to 240 meters), allowing vessels longer than 360 m to be received under optimum conditions, even with bad weather conditions.

For further information, please see : http://www.marseille-port.fr/

7.3 Port locationPlease see : http://www.marseille-port.fr/

7.4 Port limitsThe administrative boundaries of the GPMM are defined by the Prefectural Order of 21st

june 1994, amended.

7.5 Load LinesAny ship staying in the port must ensure that it does not submerge her load lines. Proper observance of this rule shall be verified by the Harbour Master’s Office on arrival and departure. Any ship that has submerged her load lines during loading shall immediately take remedial measures, failing which departure will be prohibited.

The Mediterranean Sea is in the summer zone, except for ships of LOA less than 100 m, for which a large portion is located in the winter zone.

Please check the Load Lines Convention chart.

The winter season runs from 16 December to 15 March.The summer season runs from 16 March to 15 December.

Tides in the Gulf of Fos

CURRENTS

In and around the Gulf of Fos and Marseille, the currents are generally weak and vary with the wind. See nautical instructions for more detail.

When atmospheric pressure drops, seiches are produced in the Gulf of Fos for a period of about 1 hour. Their variations in level, which may reach 25 cm, combine with those of the tide to create a tidal amplitude of 50 cm.

One sometimes observes, in the Port of Marseille, abrupt variations in the level of the sea that may reach 20 cm and produce short-lived currents in the passages. This phenomenon usually occurs with an offshore wind and if the sea is high.

FOG

Very good by NW-LY winds, the visibility may be moderate with an Easterly wind, often accompanied by rain.

A morning fog sometimes extends out to 2 miles offshore in the summer with a flat calm. Annoying for the landfall, this fog usually dissipates by late morning.

WATER DENSITY

Seawater density may reach values of less than 1.026 in the Etang de Berre, Caronte Channel and Lavera Harbour. This must be taken into account in order to comply with the acceptable clearances mentioned in the present document.

8.PORT NAVIGATION


8.1 General informationVESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICE (VTS)

The purpose, the role, the jurisdictional limits, the authority and the operation mode of the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) are described in the Prefectural Order of 2012 January the 16th, regulating navigation in the Maritime and River Regulation Zone (MRRZ) of the Great Maritime Port of Marseille. This order states that any vessel or boat equipped with AIS, must maintain the equipment in service permanently whether in navigation or at stand by anchorage. In the event of failure, it must report immediately to the port VTS by giving its name and position or other useful information.

8.2 Maximum authorized speedSpeeds are not limited in the channels and entrances to the docks, but every ship or boat must set a safe speed suited to its manoeuvring capabilities, weather and traffic conditions so that it can, at any time, take adequate measures to avoid a collision.

A major ship squat effect has been observed in the Marseille South passage.Please, check with the pilots.

Speeds are limited in the following zones :

Location Max. speed for ships and commer-cial vessels Max. speed for leisure craft

Marseille Eastern Harbours:South of the Cape Janet passage 10 knots

Marseille Eastern Harbours:North of the Cape Janet passage 10 knots

Caronte Channel 15 knots 10 knotsNavigation within 300 m of shore 5 knots, if less than 50 m in lenght 5 knots

8.3 Depth SurveyThe Port of Marseille Fos Authority has a Hydrographic Division (HD) that operates the latest generation measuring equipment, the «ESCANDAIL», a hydrographical launch of 15 metres equipped with :• a multiband echo sounder RESON/7101 with option 210°,• a motion sensor gyrocompass HYDRINS III by IXBLUE,• a speed velocity profiler type SVP by NAVITRONIC and,• a DGNSS positioning TRIMBLE, working on centimetre mode.The HD can also operate on a second lighter unit called «COUSTIE», an 8,5m catamaran, a single beam measurement chain, equipped with• a multiband echo sounder R2 SONIC 2022• a motion sensor gyrocompass SBG APOGEE,• a speed velocity profiler type SVP by NAVITRONIC and,• a DGNSS positioning TRIMBLE/LEICA, working on centimetre mode.The acquisition, processing and formatting of bathymetric data and all the associated calculations are performed with the software package «HyPACK» in its latest version.The HD operates also a high performance side sonar: EDGETECH/4125P. This equipment is used to identify objects on the sea bottom.


8.4 Navigation priorityThe general rule is the International Regulation for Preventing Collisions at Sea, and in particular, the rule concerning navigation in narrow channels.

Unless otherwise specified, the first ship to arrive is the first ship to be assisted.

In the Western harbours, the priorities are as follows :• vessels operating immediately;• between several vessels working immediately, the container ships have priority.• for vessels inward, the passage of Omega buoy or abeam Cape Couronne if the vessel isn’t compelled to fairway navigation ;• for ships and barges from the Rhône, the leaving lock time or reporting time when being to the lock waiting station of the Rhône river ;• for ships at berth or at anchor, the order of any maneuvering assistance (pilotage, boatmen, tugs, ...).

Unless specifically approved by the port VTS, the ship loses her priority if she cleared off the above mentioned area.

In the Eastern harbours, ships are usually assisted in their order of arrival at the pilot station, unless otherwise directed by the VTS (e.g., Berths 54/57, the first ship assisted is the one having to dock upwind).

Between ships of the same rank, except contrary agreement of the agents (which coordinate with the terminal operators), priority will be given to the first ship in, or according to the order of requests for ships already in port, at anchor or docked.

The docking order may be changed at any time by the port VTS, and in particular :• for reasons of safety or traffic control,• based on realistic possibilities of use of all resources available, especially the tugs,• to optimize the port services (towing, mooring, pilotage),• for health or medical reasons,• for weather conditions,• for emergency reasons on board or ashore,• for cargo reasons (animals, ...),• on specific request of a terminal operator,• for any reason deemed necessary.

Regardless of the berth or anchorage where they are located, ships awaiting orders will only be processed for docking once they have declared that they are no longer awaiting orders.

The specific rules for movements are provided in Inter Prefectural Order of the 16th of January 2012.

The total staff is of five people, including three certified surveyors and two launch pilots. The frequency of surveys varies depending on the zones and basins. It is four months for some docks and one year for other positions and areas that do not present significant changes in bathymetry. This activity is responsible, in additional, to regular surveys, for monitoring of the maritime works such as dredging.The maximum permissible drafts are set by the Harbor Master and sent by broadcast notice to users after analyzing the plans and in accordance with international standards.


8.5 Mandatory Tugs assistanceFor vessels carrying oil, gaz or chemical products, at least one tug is compulsory for entrance, departure and maneuvering, as shown below.

Exceptions are subject to harbour master approuval.

Oil and Chemical TerminalsCaronte Channel (vessels from or bound to Berre

terminal)

Port-Saint-Louis Channel (after Tellines dock)

Oil and Chemical tankers

Lavéra terminal :• Vessels of LOA >160 m with or without bowthruster.• Vessels of LOA >130 m without bowthruster.

Terminaux de Fos• Vessels of LOA >180 m with or without bowthruster..• Vessels of LOA >160 m without bowthruster..

• Vessels of LOA > = 130m.

• Vessels of LOA > = 100m without bowthruster.

• Vessels of LOA > = 100m without bowthruster.

nota : forbidden access to ships L > 130m.

Gaz carriers(Others than LNG)

• Vessels of LOA >or= 130m with or without bowthruster.

• Vessels of LOA >or= 100m without bowthruster.

• Vessels of LOA > 100m.

• Vessels of LOA < = 100m without bowthruster.

• Vessels of LOA > 100m.

• Vessels of LOA < = 100m without bowthruster.

nota : forbidden access to ships L > 130m.

LNG carriers • 2 tugs at least.

8.6 Spacing of vessels to be respectedAs a general rule, the minimum distance to be maintained between ships is not subject to regulations and is dependent on good seamanship.That’s 0.5 miles in the dredged channel at Fos for large ships and deep draught vessels (see Inter Prefectural Order of the 16th of January 2012).

8.7 Stand-by anchorageThe anchorage areas are defined on the nautical charts and in Inter Prefectural Order of the 16th of January 2012.

Minimum safety circle radius to be used around the anchorage point of a ship in these zones :• for a ship less than or equal to 200 metres in length, a radius of 0.3 mile,• for a ship between 200 and 300 metres in length, a radius of 0.4 mile,• for a ship greater than 300 metres in length, a radius of 0.5 mile,• there is an anchoring zone in the south of the West anchorage that is reserved for large LNG ships longer than 300 m (centre: Latitude: 43°19’8N, Long.: 004°56’E, radius: 0.5 mile).• the North anchorage is reserved for ships of less than 200 m in length and forbidden for LNG carriers.


8.8 Weather restrictions

Nautical operations: entries, departures, movements from berth to berth, will be suspended whenever a threshold of 45 knots wind velocity measured over 30 minutes is attained.

OIL TERMINALS AT FOS AND LAVERA

No docking will be permitted when wind velocity reaches an average of 40 knots (74 km/h) over a period of 30 minutes.

8.9 ShiftingEvery ship alongside wanting to shift along the same pier, must be authorized in advance by the HM.

Shifting along the same pier without a pilot may be authorised by the VTS based on weather conditions if the ship does not take on a tug, nor to let go all lines.

Before the appointed time, the vessel must contact the VTS centre (on VHF), to confirm the movement and communicate her draught.

8.10 Dry DockingShips that have been announced in the port computer system, that have been allocated a stocks and keelblock plan by the Dry Docks department and that have received the Dry dock operator’s approval may enter into dry dock. The properties of any ship whose atmosphere may be hazardous must be checked by a certified chemist. In principle, a ship with hazardous properties will not be admitted to dry dock. The naval repair business is regulated by the Ministerial Decree of 22 October 1982.

Astern entry into Dry docks 8, 9 and 10 is subject to prior notification to the pilotage services and shall only be possible when the wind is calm.

Shifting of large vessels (+300m): shifting on more than 15m of a vessel having a LOA of more 300m must be done with pilot on board and boatmen.

8.11 Specific signals and lightsThe movements of vessels in port are governed by the maritime lights and signals in place (see Inter Prefectural Order of the 16th of January 2012, and nautical charts and instructions).

However, the orders given by the HM override the signalling.

These limits are subject to the condition that the ships are equipped with good manoeuvring capabilities, both in terms of propulsion and rudder.

• For the other port zones of the Eastern Harbours, the limits will be studied by the VTS on a case-by-case basis, following appraisal by the pilots, taking all relevant factors into consideration.


8.12 Underkeel clearance (UKC)Vessels in movement must keep an UKC of 1/10th of the draught allowed. For vessels with important displacement, this value may be adjusted in relation with the HM’s Office.

During the call, it is recommanded that the UKC is not less than 0,5 m. In any case, it should not be less than 0,3 m.

9.PORT SAFETY


9.1 General informationThe most important factor is the rapidityspeed of the alarm !If you or a crew member discover a fire outbreak, on board or on land, or any other incident, the alarm must immediately be given by calling one of the following numbers :

« Fos Port Control » VHF : 12 or +33 (0)4 42 40 60 60 Fire brigade : +33 (0)4 42 40 61 05

« Marseille Port Control » VHF : 12 or +33 (0)4 91 39 41 41 / +33 (0)4 91 39 41 42 Fire brigade : 18 or 112 b mobile phone

Otherwise, attract attention on by repeatedly activating the siren or whistle blasts at regular intervals, and use all regulation distress calls compatible with the surrounding environment and circumstances.

Information to provide :• the location of the incident and/or name of the ship,• the nature of the incident.

If an incident occurs on board a ship, the captain shall take all initial emergency measures to control it. He shall immediately alert the port VTS, which will pass on the alarm.

If the ship is located in the maritime part of the MRRZ, the ship’s captain shall also alert the corresponding CROSS directly.



9.2 Fire and pollution emergency response equipementThe Fire brigade, competent emergency service on the port waters and ships alongside, is equipped with fight fires and pollutions means.

The port authority contributes financially to the setting up of these means.In case of major disaster, other means of the state could be used.In the Western harbors, a protocol stated that six harbor’s tugs provide the fire fight means.The establishment of oil booms are made with the help of the mooring men boats

Exercises : Training is made every 2 weeks. You’ll be asked to participate to these exercises : it doesn’t mean any control, but a cooperation that will allow rescue units to practice on different ships, to enhance their experience and skill. It is important that you welcome positively these requests. Oil and chemical terminals are equipped with human and material means for the fight against sinister. Please refer to the terminal information guide.


9.3 Coordination of emergency resourcesThe Director of Emergency Operations (DEO) is responsible for coordinating actions to handle accidents. To the extent necessary, the ship’s captain shall provide assistance to actions taken by the Chief of Emergency Operations (CEO), who answers to the DEO. On ships at dock or mooring and on the waterways, this mission is the responsibility of the maritime Fire Brigade.

The firemen and emergency team chiefs will assist the ship’s captain by providing their advice and their resources, both human and material, and will make the final decision concerning the undertaking of any actions that might threaten their own safety.

Prior to the arrival of emergency teams, the ship’s captain must check and complete the means of boarding (ladders and gangways) on both seaward and landward sides.

He must provide the emergency team leaders, upon their arrival on board, the ship’s configuration and her stowage plan (clearly indicating the location of dangerous substances, areas presenting explosive atmospheres, as well as stability curves).

The captains of neighbouring ships must assemble their crew and take all precautionary measures required or ordered by the Harbour Master. They must be “ready for maneuvering”. No movement of the ship can be done without order or approval of the HM.

The Harbour Master, if necessary, shall take all initial measures that are strictly and immediately required until the arrival of the Chief of Emergency Operations.

The role of the Port Officier is to assist the firemen and other authorities in charge of the operations.

9.4 Emergency scenarios

The dock berths in the Western harbours of the Port of Marseille Fos are included in the perimeter of application of the Special Intervention Plan (SIP) for facilities classified under the Seveso rule regime - AS threshold.

If there is a major calamity, the alarm is sounded by means of a siren that gives off the following signals :

PROCEDURE IN CASE A SIREN IS SOUNDED

National alarm signal

All clear signalOn the first Wednesday of every month, the sirens are tested at noon.


If a siren is sounded or the ship receives information following a gas leak, for example, all ships should obey the following instructions :

• take initial measures to protect and confine the ship,• stop commercial operations,• depending on the circumstances and the weather, eventually disconnect the ship for those concerned,• monitor instructions broadcast by Radio France on the frequencies 91.3 or 97.4 MHz,• keep watch via VHF (Channel 12) and by phone.

In the case of an incident on board a ship, boat or floating unit, on port docks or in the neighbourhood, the captains or owners of the ships, boats or floating units shall call their crews together and be ready to take all measures ordered by the Chief of Emergency Operations.

If the ship has to be evacuated :• shut down all engines,• take only the utmost necessities,• lock the doors,• the port authority or the municipality will provide public transport if possible, as will be announced by the patrol cars or boats.

All spills must be reported to the port VTS by VHF Channel 12 or by phone.

If any spill occurs on board or around a ship, when the VTS Centre is contacted, the following information must be provided in precise terms :• the name of the ship,• the name of the berth or its exact position,• the type and quantity of the spill,• clean-up and containment measures already taken, as well as the type of commercial operations under way.

All movements of seagoing vessels and floating units are subject to authorisation by the port VTS and executed in compliance with international and local regulations in effect in the port, under the responsibility of the ship’s captain, who will receive information from the port VTS about traffic under way and known hazards, as well as any special local circumstances.

In case of the loss of an anchor or chain, running aground, collision or in any other way out of control or in situations that may endanger the safety of shipping, contact the port VTS by VHF (Channel 12). Details to be reported very precisely : the name of the ship, its exact position and the nature of situation.

10.PORT SECURITY


10.1 General informationTo allow you to become familiar with the security procedures in force for the entire Port of Marseille-Fos, please find below the key information on security procedures in force.The GPMM fully complies with the ISPS Code. It holds a certificate of compliance issued by the governing authority.

Ships subject to this code must present a document to the Harbour Master’s Office justifying that the ship possesses a currently valid security certificate and the name of the authority that issued it, as well as the security information stipulated in Article 6 of the abovementioned EC Regulation 725/2004 of the European Parliament and Council, of 31 March 2004, or, for ships making short trips covered by agreements concerning other security arrangements and equivalent arrangements in terms of security as set forth in Article 5 of said Regulation, providing all information requested under those agreements or arrangements.

Where no ISPS compliance certificate is submitted, the Harbour Master may refuse the ship entry to the port.

In the event of a lack of ISPS compliance found by an authorized government agent on a ship already moored in the port, the Harbour Master’s Office may demand that the ship leave the port.

Manpower and material means contributing to security (barriers, guard service, nautical monitoring, diving assistance, etc.) can be provided to the ship’s captain via the GPMM and/or specialised companies.

These services shall be ordered by the ship’s agent at the ship’s expense and shall be under the responsibility of its captain.

In accordance with the ISPS Code, all access to the ship must be strictly controlled.

10.2 ISPS level of the port facility

The ISPS level of security applied in the port is fixed by the French government. Incoming ships will be informed about that by the Harbour Master’s Office, via VHF, on first contact or if requested. It shall also be communicated to the ship by the shipping agent.

During layover, the ship shall be kept informed of any change in the level of security of the port facilities in first instance by the port security agent. The Harbour Master’s Office will repeat this information..


10.3 Security declaration

The Port of Marseille Fos has 32 public and private port facilities. All port facilities are in compliance with the ISPS Code.

After analysing security information submitted to it, the Harbour Master may dictate that the Port Facility Security Agent implement special security measures. A Declaration of Security will then be drawn up.

Under the circumstances provided by the ISPS Code, the ship’s captain may request that he and the port facility security agent complete a declaration of security jointly.

The Harbour Master’s Office may require ships to supply a declaration of security in the following cases :• where the port installation is operated at an ISPS level above the one initially declared by the ship,• where there is a threat to the security or a security incident involving the ship.

The names and contact information of the various port facility security agents may be obtained from the watchtower (tel +33 4 91 39 42 41) or from the Port Security Agent who keeps this list up to date.

Embarking and disembarking of crew and/or visitors should be reported to the Port Facility Security Agent of the port facility called at, by e-mail or fax.

The port facility security agent must be informed, as soon as possible of any planned bunkering and/or shipchandling movements, by e-mail or fax.

Any operation by barge must have obtained authorisation from the Harbour Master’s Office, which may give, if deemed necessary, any specific instructions.

How to connect a tugboat ?The ship’s captain, on pilot’s advice, will order the number of tugs required for the manoeuvre.

Upon the ship’s arrival, the Tug master and the pilot of the ship to be assisted will discuss where the tugs will be made fast, depending on available type of tug and type of manoeuvre.

If your ship has specific locations from where the tug can push, please so advise the pilot and the tug master.

Mention the location clearly. Example: centre lead forward, starboard shoulder, centre lead aft, etc.

The normal way of towing, is that the tug will use its own line, except in rare cases. The towing line comes from the tugs fore or aft winch, depending on the type of tugboat.

Towing on the winch makes the tug very flexible. Depending on the situation the tug will adjust the length of the towline. A short towline gives a quicker response.

The towline is brought on board the ship by using a heaving line. Keep ready extra heaving lines, as the heaving line needs to be thrown to the tugboat (and therefore needs a monkey fist). The extra heaving lines can be used in case the first throw misses.

Do not add any weight to the normal weight of the monkey fist as this is a danger to the crew on the tugboat !

The tugboat’s crew will connect a messenger line to the heaving line, which can be heaved in by hand to speed up the operation.

Do not let sleeves or splices hang overboard, nor in the fairlead.

Before each manoeuver, the crew of the ship to be assisted, has to prepare two full heaving lines on each manoeuver station. If missed, when sending the first heaving line, the ship’s crew must send immediately the second one in order to avoid another approach of the tug.

Special attention should be paid when hooking the tug to the ship’s bow. Its evolution


below the ship’s bow involves a risk, due to the interaction effects and the risk will increase with the ship’s speed. Consequently, we recommend a maximum speed of 6 knots when the towline is hooked at ship’s bow. In other positions, the tug can be tied up with a speed of 8 knots maximum.

Avoid major changes in engine speed, as well as maximum rudder. If the tugboats has slack on its line and the ship’s crew is in the process of connecting the towline, the wash of the propeller will affect the tug’s manoeuvrability and the towline might become tight again. This is a big risk for the ship’s crew. For this reason try to maintain a constant speed!

Stand away from the towing cable during this operation.

How to communicate with the tugboat ?Maintain good communication at all times.

Advise the captain of the tugboat, via the pilot, about your intended manoeuvres.

In particular, any changes in engine speed must be relayed very clearly. Remember that the tugboat captain is responsible for his own vessel and crew, and will act accordingly when necessary.Thus, if your ship makes an unexpected manoeuvre and the captain of the tug gets trapped, he will let his line go to save his ship and crew.

The working channel for the tugboats is VHF 6. The same channel is also used for boatmen.

When working with more than one tug : first call one tug and give an order. Wait for the confirmation of the first tug before calling the second.

How to disconnect a tug boat ?• Never let go the tug(s) too early: Wait until your ship is safely in.• Never let go the tug when your engine is in reverse position.• When the tugboat uses its own towing wire, be aware that you can let the go the tugs line only when the tug is in such a position as not to foul its own propeller.• Remind the sailors to lower the line slowly. Remember that the larger the tug, the heavier its equipement, the more difficult it is to handle the line.• Avoid starting or stopping the engine and avoid maximum rudder. If the tugboat has slack on its line and your ship’s crew are in the process of letting go the tug line, the wash of the propeller will affect the tugboat’s manoeuvrability and the line might become tight again. This is a big risk for the ship’s crew. Try to keep a constant speed!

11.5 MooringMooring services are provided exclusively by a company that has an agreement of the Port of Marseille Fos to do so.

Please see : http://www.lamanage-marseillefos.coop/

If the ship does not use the mooring services, mooring operations may be done by the ship’s crew, acting under the captain’s orders, contingent on :• the crew being sufficient in number to simultaneously provide the personnel required on land and on board, and to do the work safely.• passage from ship to land secured and under entire responsability of the captain and owner.


Nota : this practice is not recommended in the lock of Port Saint Louis du Rhône which doesn’t allow the passage ashore safely.Under certain circumstances or at the request of the pilot, for safety reasons, the Harbour Master’s Office may make the use of the mooring services compulsory, at the captain’s expense.

Any mooring lines break or abnormality should be immediately reported to the HMO. The Captain shall make every effort to resume mooring promptly (start of the bow thrusters, engine ready, ask help of port services).

When mooring, follow the pilot’s directions and recommendations from the Port Officers.

All mooring operations are to be conducted under the responsibility of the ship’s captain. Once moored, the captain is entirely responsible for the ship’s behaviour alongside.

Meteorological warnings are provided by the port VTS or port officers. Captains must take all necessary precautions to reinforce mooring.

The working VHF channel to be used during this manoeuvre is VHF 6.

Ships’ mooring lines must be in good condition and must not have exceeded their average service life or the number of cycles of use for their class.

The mooring must be constantly watched and if necessary reinforced by the ship crew.

If necessary, the morring must be reinforced in case of strong wind notice. Captains must care especially on main wind exposed berths (coast wind).

The spring lines and, to a lesser degree, the head and stern lines, must be as parallel as possible to the ship’s axis.

Shifting of large vessels (+300m) :Shifting on more than 15 m of a vessel having a LOA of more than 300 m must be done with pilot on board and boatmen.

Container terminals in dock 2 and berths on dock 3On large container ships, mooring lines must be long enough to stir correctly (front).

Mooring lines must be strong anough to avoid lenghtwise moves when other ships passing by :- either by increasing the strenght on constant tension winches- either by putting on brake- either by rotating some mooring lines.Vessels with high weight must take same disposals as container ships.

Oil terminalsShips carrying dangerous or puolluting goods in bulk, the use is to refer to the ISGOTT recommendations (see table on next page). Steel mooring lines must not be belayed on the tank decks.

In the event that the ship’s mooring cannot comply with the mooring diagrams , it may be suited in accordance with pilot and HMO recommandations and approved by the terminal. This arrangement must be noted on the ship/shore check list.

Ship captains’ attention is drawn to the risk of damage to arms or hoses if their moorings do not perform properly.

Ships and boats containing dangerous or polluting materials must be ready for towage in case of a fire on board or nearby.

A wire towing cable with eye must always be available fore and aft, on the side opposite the berth, with the eye suspended at approximately one metre above the water level, so as to be immediately used by tugs, in case of need. This applies to :• all ships transporting dangerous goods of IMO Classes 2, 3, 6.1 and 8 in bulk ;• all ships transporting IMO Class 1 dangerous goods, as well as the following UN numbers for Classes 5.1 and 9: 1942, 2067, 2071, 2426 and 3375.

13.PORT OPERATIONS ON OIL/CHEMICAL TERMINALS


13.1 Oil/Chemical terminals

For the oil terminals at Fos and Lavera, there are special instructions and procedures that apply to tanker ships transporting dangerous goods.

Ships at berth in these terminals must comply with the ISGOTT recommendations regarding the operation of the AIS.

All personnel required must be constantly close to connection points and pump controls in order to stop commercial operations in case of an accident, or at the request of the receiver, or the operator or, lastly, in case of a storm.

An officer on duty must be reachable at the cargo control room at all times.

Ships transporting dangerous goods are obliged to have at anytime on board the officers and crew required for a disconnection or emergency movement upon request of the Harbour Master’s Office.

Ships loading or unloading flammable liquids are allowed to dock under the following conditions :• the floors of the pump rooms are clean and dry,• there is no leak to be found at any location maybe,• pump room ventilation is adequate and in proper working.

Apply the emergency procedures described in Section 9.

Any person not associated with the ship, safety services or operations shall be obliged to evacuate the premises considering the explosiveness or toxicity of the spreading cloud of gas.

Prior to commencement of cargo operations, the Ship/Shore Safety Checklist, provided by the terminal and established as recommanded by IMO, has to be completed. This form must be kept available for the Port Officers, which may at any time stop or prohibit such operations.

Then, the authorisation is issued by the cargo receiver or its representative, with the approval of the sector chief managing the petroleum facilities of the port or terminal concerned. In the event of disagreement between the parties, authorisation may only be given after checking with the Harbour Master’s Office.

The use of any unusual procedure shall be subject to prior authorisation by the Harbour Master’s Office (mobile unit, submersible pump, booster or mobile reheating, inerting by mobile unit, etc.).

The temperature of the cargo must be compatible with the planned operation.

A ship that is not redy for loading will not have priority over another ship for occupying a berth.

PERSONNEL ON DUTY ON BOARD THE SHIPS

PERSONNEL TO REMAIN ON BOARD

LOADING / UNLOADING OF ALL FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS

GAS LEAK OR ACCIDENT

AUTHORISATION TO START UNLOADING AND/OR LOADING


The gas exhaust lines of the tanks must be equipped with a coupling for connecting a line of vapour return at any time that the flammable or toxic nature of the cargo excludes the possibility of vapour emmision above the tanks deck under the conditions stipulated by MARPOL Convention Annex II and the I.B.C. and B.C.H. codes that extend it.

During commercial operations, the operation of on-board sluice valves is done under the responsibility of the ship’s captain. He must ensure that qualified personnel are constantly and closely monitoring the movements of liquids in the tanks, and he must prevent spills of petroleum products, unexpected gas releases and, in general, any and all accidents.

The captains of tanker ships are obliged to use their maximum pumping resources (at least 2/3 of normal flow) to unload their ship, unless the maximum pressure authorised for petroleum products (10.5 bars) is reached before attaining this flow rate. This clause does not apply during the drainage phase.

Nota : This criterion is not correct in view of what is practiced in Charters party: since flow rate is related to counter-pressure, there must be a minimum flow rate or a maximum unloading time, with said conditions to be observed except in the case where the maximum pressure is reached at the manifold.

A watch officer shall conduct a safety patrol in the first hour, and then at least every 2 hours, in order to make all verifications required to ensure the safety of the pump room (heating, leaks, etc.). It is strictly forbidden for anyone to go down into the pump room without the approval of the chief mate or the captain. The ventilation system must be in continuous operation and the results of the air quality check in the pump room must be posted at it’s entrance.

Commercial operations shall be suspended in the event of any abnormality. They shall only be restarted with approval from the Harbour Master’s Office.

Draining of the cargo hoses must be done following a procedure approved by the concerned parties, by considering the facilities available both on land and on board.

In addition :• compressed air flushing is not permitted for volatile products,• the operation must be observed throughout by a crew member, next to the manifold,• the tank designed to receive the drainage must have sufficient capacity to contain them.

VAPOUR RETURN LINE

ON-BOARD SLUICE VALVE OPERATIONS DURING LOADING, UNLOADING OR BUNKERING

WATCH DUTY IN THE PUMP ROOM

DRAINING THE CARGO HOSES


Before starting ballasting, the officer in charge must ensure that the ballast system to be used is properly arranged on board.

He must also operate the seawater suction valves properly so as to avoid any leaks.

Loading, unloading and deballasting operations, or combined operations, must be performed in such a way as to avoid dangerous strains on the hulls. The Harbour Master’s Office may, at any time, have a qualified specialist conduct a check of these stresses at the ship’s expense. The maximum stresses reached during operations must be recorded on the operations sheet that is to be completed prior to starting commercial operations.

The terminal operator, the freight forwarder/consignees or the Harbour Master’s Office may request that the commercial operations be immediately suspended if they deem this to be necessary.Information about the safety alarm and emergency cut-off equipment for LPG transfers, please consult the terminal operators.Every ship alongside has to provide at least to distincted emergency issues, clearly indicated, in case of port or ship disaster.

• Unless otherwise stated in writing by the operator, the maximum temperature of products passing through the fuel lines shall be 75°C, and 55°C through crude oil lines ;• the procedure to be followed for transfers of reheated products is defined by terminal operators ;• loading reheated products into tanks that contained flammable products will cause dilation and then the discharge of vapours into the atmosphere. This should be done carefully and preferrably after inerting.

In case of thunderstorms within a radius of 5000 metres from the ship, all operations must be stopped and gas discharge valves closed. The taking of samples, customs inspections and bunkering operations are also to cease.

Storm warnings are transmitted to the VTS tower by the competent department of Météo France and passed by any means to the terminals and ships.

Shore personnel must be informed of the interruption of commercial operations ordered by the Master.

In accordance with the recommendations of ISGOTT, which must be met in general by the terminal and the ship’s captain, all ballasting and loading operations and any other operations likely to give off inflammable or toxic gases into the atmosphere are forbidden when there is no wind.Terminal and/or Masters of ships must interrupt commercial operations when they consider that weather conditions do not permit these to be carried out normally.

In the event of a strike by the ship’s crew or personnel on land, the ship will be disconnected at the request of the Harbour Master’s Office and safety measures will be taken, eventually including the removal of gangways and placement of the ship on the road.

STRIKES

13.2 OBO Ships

The OBO carriers must be inspected by a chemist approved by the port authority before berthing. They must obtain a certificate stating that they are carrying neither inflammable gas, nor cargo likely to produce it.

On receipt of the certificate, the Harbour Master’s Office will authorise or not the berthing of the ship at a dry bulk terminal.

Following authorisation by the Harbour Master’s Office, specific regulations may be applied to ships of this type, in order to neutralise any risks from the slop-tanks.

If the chemist is unable to visit the ship before entering the port, the ship can be authorised to berth provided that :• the Master has signalled before arrival that the vessel is gas free,• the chemist makes the inspection before any movement of the hatch-covers,• the slop-tans, if they exist, must be inerted and marked.

Notwithstanding, if ship appears to be not gas-free, she leaves the berth, when ordered by the HM’s Office, at the ship’s expenses.

13.3 Loading and unloading procedures on tanker shipsIt is forbidden to :1/ use open fire apart from closed compartments of the engine room and kitchens ;2/ smoke on deck, in alleyways, outside of special areas designated on the berth and enclosed spaces of the oil terminal ;3/ carry out repairs that immobilise the engine or reduce it’s power, the windlass and the steeling gear, or that require the use of open fires (welding), unless a special authorisation has been requested and obtained from the Harbour Master’s Office ;4/ perform sweeping of the boilers, fume ducts or motor exhaust systems that releases soot into the atmosphere ;5/ perform steam cleaning and washing of cargo and bunker tanks ;6/ vent and clean the tanks without special authorisation from the Harbour Master’s Office ;7/ load and ballast above the tank hatches ;8/ initiate any engine test during commercial operations. Off commercial operations, tests shall be subject to prior authorisation by the Harbour Master’s Office ;9/ stay alongside of commercial operations without special authorisation from the Harbour Master’s Office ;10/ except in emergencies, lower a salvage boat without the authorisation of the Harbour Master’s Office ;


11/ perform work on board in a hazardous area using a tool likely to produce sparks ;12/ spray water with a very high pressure pump into tanks and spaces likely to house a flammable or explosive atmosphere ;13/ use electronic devices (mobile phones, cameras, video cameras, etc.) that are not ATEX certified models.

13.4 Tank cleaning proceduresPerform venting, washing and cleaning tanks and holds are subject to authorisation by the HM’s Office. Certificate of inerting and venting must be issued by an expert agreed by the HMO. These certificates are valid for 24 hours.

Except by express permission from the Harbour Master’s Office, only those ships possessing a stationary inert gas system may use water to wash compartments that have contained a petroleum product with flash point below 60°C. No such washing shall be undertaken without permission from the Harbour Master’s Office.

Using cold water to wash a non-inerted tank may be done with authorisation from the Harbour Master’s Office, but only one tank at a time, and the flow rate of the water must be less than 60 cbm/hour.

Hot water may be used to wash or rinse compartments that have contained a petroleum product with flash point greater than 60°C after authorisation from the Harbour Master’s Office. This washing must be done one tank at a time, with all tank hatches closed.

No release to the open air or discharge into the sea is authorised while alongside.

The procedures to be used for crude oil washing are those stipulated by the 1974 SOLAS Convention and its 1978 amendment.

Any crude oil washing operation must be subject to a prior request made to the Harbour Master’s Office before the ship’s arrival. This operation will be prohibited if the ship does not meet the requirements for producing and maintaining inerting.

The Harbour Master’s Office shall access at any time to control devices on board. It may request the assistance of a certified chemist, as well as the crew on board in order to perform the verifications it deems necessary.

It may also check the engine inert gas analyser.

In any part of every cargo or slop tank, the air must be kept at a level of oxygen not exceeding 7% in volume and at a positive pressure at all times during commercial operations. The oxygen level at production unit issue must not exceed 5%.

In case of production of the inert gas stops, unloading shall be immediately stopped. It may only recommence with authorisation from the Harbour Master’s Office and when the abovementioned conditions have been adequately met.

8. GOODS BY BARGE : only one barge coupled to the ship.

9. GAS CARRIER CONNECTED : no barge alongside, even for unloading sludge. Once commercial operations on a gas carrier have ceased and the cargo lines have been inerted, the Harbour Master’s Office may authorise a supply operation under the same conditions as for a disconnected ship after having verified that pumping has stopped and inertage has been performed.

On crude oil/chemicals carriers with an inert gas system, the Harbour Master’s Office may permit the use of the on-board crane located at the rear of the tanks deck.

10. Whenever commercial operations have ceased on board a oil/chemicals tanker, the Harbour Master’s Office may authorise a supply operation under the same conditions as for a disconnected ship after having verified that all pumping has effectively stopped.

11. On large vessels with LOA permitting, authorisation may be given for 2 barges to be alongside to the ship, moored up one behind the other.

12. During the commercial operations of a ship handling a product likely to give off flammable gases, authorisation may be given to connect and disconnect the supplier after verification that the connections and tools used are explosion-proof. Authorisation may similarly be given to connect and disconnect the FLUXEL terminal facilities where it is assumed that the personnel are working with ADF (explosion-proof) equipment and under proper safety conditions.

14.4 Maintenance and repairsAny request for work to be done during a commercial call is subject to authorisation by the Harbour Master’s Office.

Requests must be accompanied by a written description of the procedure to be performed. Special attention will be paid to hot work, with a prior visit by a port officer who may impose an inspection by a chemist agreed by the port. It should be noted that there is a simplified procedure that allows ships calling frequently at Marseille to obtain authorisation to start routine works prior to an eventual visit by a port officer.

This works are done under the responsability of the owner or his representant. HM must be informed about the begining and ending of the operations.

Testing of the engine must be approved by the HM and can be done in special places only.

15.INSPECTIONS


15.1 General informationThis section describes all relevant inspections that one can expect in the Port of Marseille-Fos, under the French State and the port authority.

15.2 Port state controlInspections under the auspices of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of Port State Control are performed by Maritime Affairs inspectors.

During these inspections, they may detain the vessel to force the correction, of the most serious abnormalities.

Please see :www.parismou.orgwww.emsa.europa.eu

State port control (declaration problem on foreign ship)* [email protected]

15.3 Other inspectionsDuring his call, each vessel is likely to be visited by representatives of the Harbour Master’ Office, as part of its prerogatives.

The ship must be able to present the required documents and demonstate compliance with the provisions taken on board towards the regulations and other applicable instructions.

The Harbour Master’s Office may prohibit the departure of a ship if its condition suggests that it cannot sail without danger to itself, its crew, passengers, navigational traffic safety, public health or the environment. This ship shall be retained until the maritime authority responsible for its inspection or safety (CSN) has declared the ship fit to sail.

The Harbour Master’s Office may order other inspections in certain cases (grain unloading, etc.).


15.4 Fuel sulphur contentThe Port of Marseille-Fos applies the regulations for the prevention of air pollution by ships, derived from international maritime regulations and applicable to all ships. This means, in particular, Annex VI to MARPOL Convention 73/78.

The maximum values of sulfur content of marine fuels is :• 0,5% from 2020.

Moreover, European legislation by Directive UE 2016/802 dated may 11th 2016, imposes the following values : • 0,1% for ships at berth or on the road.

This European directive should be revised to include lower values in the next years.

Inspections are carried on board by Port State Control. These controls are essentially documentaries, ship documents must be properly kept, recording the operations of fuel changing.

Member States must: :

• maintain a register of local bunker suppliers of marine fuel ;• ensure that the sulfur content of all marine fuels sold on their territory is documented by the supplier on a bunker delivery note, accompanied by a sealed sample signed by the representative of the receiving vessel ;• take appropriate action against suppliers of marine fuel which has been shown to deliver fuel that does not comply with the specification stated on the bunker delivery notes ;• ensure that regularization measures are taken to achieve compliance marine fuel and found non-compliant.

15.5 Smokes released by vesselsSweeping of the boilers, gas or smoke conduits and the emission of dense and nauseous fumes are prohibited in the port and its surroundings, except with the express authorization given from the Port authority (art. R.5333-17 of the Transports Regulations Code).

Captains must be especially vigilant about this regulation and take the appropriate arrangements:- On container terminals, if smoke exhausts may impact the crane driver located next the funnel at the starting of the motors, generators or boilers,- On cruise terminals, for they are located next the urban areas.

The port, meaning to enhance air quality in the port area, wishes to develop in partnership with the ship-owners, a policy of shore powered vessels, already available on berths 68/70/74.


15.6 Scrubbers

15.7 Ballast water management

All vessels wishing to use a Scrubber (dry or wet) in port waters area should make a request to the harbor master’s office.

Note that, according to the French law: Article R 5333-28 in the Code of Transport :It is prohibited in ports or inland waters to discharge from ships waters containing hydrocarbons, hazardous materials, sediments or other materials organic or not that may be harmful to the environment.

As a result, the use of Open Loop Scrubber it is not permitted in port waters of Marseille Fos Port, except for the provision by the shipowner for each vessel concerned of a specific study carried out by a certifying body, proving that there is no impact for inland port waters and describing the methods and regular supervisory procedures releases analysis.

Closed Loop Scrubber is accepted only when no discharge is carried out in the inland port water area.

Harbour master’s office may request to prove that there is no pollution discharge or harmful effects to the marine ecosystem and ports water area.

On 8 September 2017, the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments entered into force, the Port Authority may request at any time documents certifying that the ship’s ballast water will not be a risk for marine environment.

Documents that may be requested : - International Ballast Water management Certificate- Ballast Water reporting Form

Ships bound for the Port of Marseille-Fos under D-1 standard are subject to the arrangements in the Mediterranean region :

1 Ships entering the waters of Mediterranean Sea area from the Atlantic Ocean (Straits of Gibraltar), or from the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea (Suez Canal) must :a) undertake ballast water exchange before entering the Mediterranean Sea area according to the standard set out in the D-1 Standard of the Ballast Water Management Convention, and at least 200 nautical miles from the nearest land and in waters at least 200 meters in depth;b) in situations where this is not possible, either due to deviating the ship from its intended voyage or delaying the ship, or for safety reasons, such exchange should be undertaken before entering the Mediterranean Sea area according to the standard set out in the D-1 Standard of the Ballast Water Management Convention, as far from the nearest land as possible, and in all cases in waters at least 50 nautical miles from the nearest land and in waters of at least 200 meters depth.

When engaged in traffic between ports located within the Mediterranean Sea area; ships must


a) undertake ballast water exchange as far from the nearest land as possible, and in all cases in waters at least 50 nautical miles from the nearest land and in waters of at least 200 meters depth;b) in situation where this is not possible either due to deviating the ship from its intended voyage or delaying the ship, or for safety reasons, the reasons should be entered in the ballast water record book.

Any failure with respect to these obligations is likely to be reported to the maritime authorities of the Port State Control.

Areas in the Mediterranean Sea meeting the requirements set out in Regulation B-4.1.2 of the Ballast Water Management Convention (at least 50 nautical miles from the nearest land in waters of at least 200 meters depth):

The Port of Marseille-Fos plan for ship waste disposal aims to follow the provisions of MARPOL 73/78 and European Directive 2000/59/EC, dated 2000, November the 27th, and its transposition into French law.

In accordance with this regulation, the port has designated a certain number of companies which are entitled to collect or receive and process waste from ships.

The price of waste collection services may be obtained via ship’s agents.

Waste collection is done by trucks, barges or directly by pipeline for Lavera deballasting stations.

Like all other ports in the European Union, the port of Marseille Fos has implemented a Port Waste Management Plan, approved by the prefect on the 10th of january 2018.

It may be consulted on the Website «www.marseille-port.fr».

The ship’s agent must provide the Waste Declaration in the “Neptune” port software 24 hours prior to the ship’s arrival.

Our fee schedule is intended to encourage ships to discharge their waste at our facilities. Fees based on a ship’s size are included in the port fees and cover only those ships not discharging their operating waste at port facilities. In the event of waste disposal, the cost of the service provided must be paid directly to the waste collection company based on the type and quantity deposited by the ship.

Any ships sailing a regular line with regular and frequent port calls, and that give sufficient evidence of waste disposal in a port of the European Community may be exempted from the waste disposal fee.
