Q-88 must detail current acceptances and dates of inspection. d) Owner must provide date of last SIRE report on the vessel which has been registered in the revised SIRE register. This SIRE report must be less than 6 months old at all times during the performance of this contract. e) Owner must confirm acceptances received and/or retained by the vessel since the last sire report. f) Owner must confirm that the vessel has not been rejected or refused by any Charterer since the inspections leading to the said SIRE report. g) Owner must confirm vessel has vetting approval from at least two oil majors providing date of vetting and name of major, at least one vetting approval must be less than 6 months old at the time of the offer. h) Vessel must possess current ISM Certification and International Ship Security Certificate. i) Vessel's age shall be less than 15 years for the duration of the charter. j) Vessel must have Segregated Ballast Tanks (SBT) and Inert Gas System (IGS). k) Vessel must have a minimum SOA of 13 knots. l) 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. Upon completion of hot water wash, all tanks carrying JPTS must be fresh water rinsed to ensure removal of all deposits. Tanks carrying JPTS must be segregated from other tanks (if in the same system) and pumps isolated to avoid any co-mingling with other products by means of double valves or blanks. m) Vessel must arrive at load port in a clean, gas-free condition, and be ready for internal tank inspection by Quality Assurance Representative (QAR). 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. All safe for entry / toxicity / flammability assessments will be performed in the presence if the inspecting QAR. n) If owner intends to load other products, this cargo must be last in and first out. Cargo tanks for this product will be physically inspected for suitability prior to loading. Government tank inspection procedures require all cargo tanks, ballast tanks, slop tanks or void spaces adjacent to the tanks to be loaded with DoD cargo to be clean and certified as gas free by a qualified Marine Chemist for the tank inspection. It would be permissible to shift other cargo into these tanks after the inspection as long as the Cargo tanks and systems for the MSC product are be isolated from any other systems by double valve isolation and/or positive blinds. o) 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 carry petroleum products, unless vessel possesses a current DESC waiver. p) If vessel cargo tanks have heating coils, provide the coil materials of construction (such as stainless steel, copper, etc.), date that the heating coils were last 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. q) If vessel cargo tanks are internally 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. r) Vessel must provide Certificates of Quality for last three cargoes carried within the tank/tanks to be designated for this parcel lift. These Certificates should contain all test data required by specification for the products that were previously loaded (last three). Vessel Certificates of Quality from vessel post-load samples are preferred, but if unavailable shore tank Certificates of Quality representing quality of product loaded are acceptable. The Certificates of Quality should contain the test data required by the specification for the product which were loaded. 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: i. Naphtha / Condensates: Mercaptan Sulphur, reported in "parts per million" (ppm) or "mass percent", or Doctor Test (ASTMD 4952). Otherwise, Certificates of Quality should contain the test data required by the specification for the products which were loaded. ii. Gasoline (Motor or Aviation): It must be stated whether the previous product was "leaded" or "unleaded". This is needed to determine cargo tank "safe entry" testing requirements. s) Vessel must provide documentation that certifies whether or not the last three cargoes carried within the tank/tanks to be designated for this parcel lift contained FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters). In the event any of the cargoes did contain FAME, vessel owners/operators must provide certification and support documentation that vessel cargo tanks were cleaned/conditioned in accordance with the guidance in Energy Institute HM50. t) Where cargo is carried after contract award and prior to delivery, Owner agrees to provide cargo type/description prior to loading, and applicable Certificates of Quality (to include all test data required in the initial RFP) for review within 48 hours after loading said cargo. Test shall be on a sample taken from the ship versus a representative sample from a shore facility. Any rejection of the Certificates of Quality by the Government shall result in the Government cancelling this contract at no cost to the Government. u) 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. 2.
