- Description
- One (1) clean, approved, double hull U.S or foreign-flag tank ship, ITB, ATB, or other suitable tug-barge unit (further known as “vessel”) capable of carrying MINIMUM 20,000 BBLS clean petroleum products (intentions JP8, JP5, and/or F76) in cargo tanks with double valve isolation. Intentions are for vessel to lighter cargo in up to approximately 100,000 gallon parcels while at safe anchorage/mooring in/vicinity of Port Au Prince Harbor, Haiti to shallow-draft lighter barge or other suitable vessel for delivery to shore. •Vessel should be equipped with customary international fittings/connections and ability to receive cargo hose from lighter vessel alongside. •Vessel must have current vetting approval from at least two major oil companies (one being Shell Oil). •Vessel must be a party to the SIRE system and provide a current Q-88 with offer (no more than 60 days old). •Vessel must possess ISM certification and International Ship Security Certificate. •Vessel must have minimum laden speed of 10 knots. •Vessel must have the ability to carry one complete, undecanted, tank washings in dedicated slop tank(s). •Vessel must comply with applicable ISGOTT recommendations. •Vessel must have the ability / equipped to mechanically clean, mop, dry and inert cargo tanks within three days between cargoes during performance of the charter when required. •Vessel must hot wash all cargo spaces with water not to exceed 58 degrees centigrade prior to presenting for initial acceptance and inspection. All cargo tanks must be free of loose rust, previous cargo residues and films (including dyes), significant salt deposits and other impediments that could impact the quality of the cargo to be loaded. •Vessel must arrive at load port in a clean, gas-free condition, and be ready for internal tank inspection by quality assurance representative. Ensure any adjacent tanks are also clean and gas free. Contractor shall provide (owner's account) a certified marine chemist to certify tanks safe for entry for internal tank inspection by government / charterer representative. Contractor will provide time needed to re-inert after inspection. If a prior (last and next to last) cargo contained a percentage of benzene, owner’s certified marine chemist must also measure toxicity for benzene content and certify safe for entry. •Vessel must provide certificates of quality for last and next to last cargoes. These certificates should contain all test data required by specification for the products that were previously loaded (last and next to last). They shall be submitted for each shore tank as well as the vessel tanks after loading (composite sample). Results of “typical” are not acceptable. Additionally the following are required for the specific products mentioned: - Naphtha/Condensates: Mercaptan Sulphur, reported in “Parts Per Million” (PPM) or “mass percent”, or doctor test (ASTMD 4952). - Gasoline (motor or aviation): state whether the previous product was “leaded” or unleaded”. This is needed to determine cargo tank “safe entry” testing requirements. •The use of copper and copper alloys (brass, bronze, etc.) In vessel compartments, pipelines, heating coils, fittings, etc. Is not permitted in vessels chartered by MSC to haul petroleum products, unless vessel possesses a current DESC waiver. •If vessel cargo tanks have heating coils, provide the coil type or composition (such as stainless steel, copper, etc.), date that the heating coils were last used and pressure tested, and the results of the test (passed or failed). Date of last pressure test cannot exceed 12 months for duration of this charter. Vessel tanks with copper or yellow metal compounds are normally not acceptable for jet fuel cargoes. •Vessel must have segregated ballast tanks (SBT) and inert gas system (IGS). •If vessel cargo tanks are coated, provide the coating type (epoxy, inorganic zinc, etc). Coal tar coating is not acceptable. If tanks are not coated then state “none”. Coatings that are incompatible with the fuel to be carried will be rejected. •Vessel must be able to take upper, middle, lower, bottom, and all-level samples of the cargo (to include OBQ & ROB) without contaminating them from the sampling location. If unable to do so or if the sampling location is contaminated or suspected to be contaminated, charterer will require open sampling on a tank by tank basis, consistent with safety and local terminal regulations.
