Project Background5Scope of Work6Applicable Standards and Codes 10Fees 11Other terms and conditions 12Liability limitation 13Communication by external e-mail 14Confidentiality and Publicity 15Project Background

There are 3 (three) marine loading berths in Al Muajjiz Terminal (AMT) which were partially de-mothballed by restoring two berths (berth 102 and 103) for Fuel Oil STS (ship to ship) lightering operation. The objective of this scope is to assess and upgrade all three (3) Marine Berths 101, 102 and 103 to accommodate modern VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carrier) sizes, namely 320,000 deadweight tonnage; in addition to enabling simultaneous operation of all three berths to occur.Scope of Work

All the required clearances/ permissions from Navy, Coastguard, Customs, visa etc. shall be facilitated by the client for the entire period of surveys and study. The required documentation shall be duly submitted.

SITE SURVEYS AND INVESTIGATIONS

The work mainly comprises of hydrographic & bathymetric survey, met ocean data collection, berth visual inspection, underwater berth assessment and inspection. Since the water depth available in the port location is very high dredging is not envisaged. Hence this scope does not include geotechnical or geo physical survey.

BATHYMETRIC SURVEYTo provide and operate all the necessary survey equipment.To provide and mobilize all floating craft, equipment and personnel as required for the satisfactory completion of the survey work.Establishing vertical control and establishing bench mark at suitable interval.

Transfer of Bench Mark/datum w.r.t. MSL (w.r.t. water level gauge/Tide gauge)Established tide gauge close to the survey area and the measure tides for the duration of survey at 15 minute intervals. The tide gauge shall be connected to the nearest Bench Mark.Carry out echo sounding for bathymetric survey of the required area.Data processing, reporting and preparation of Bathymetric charts both hardcopy

& soft copy

MET-OCEAN DATA COLLECTIONTo provide and operate all the necessary survey equipment.To provide and mobilize all floating craft, equipment and personnel as required for the satisfactory completion of the survey work.Identification of a location in the shallow region suitable for the wave and current data collectionAcoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) shall be installed in the identified location for a minimum period of 28 days for observation and collection of data.Providing boat and personnel for installation, surveillance and data recording at ADCP location.

OTHER DATAData like Weather reports, seasonal changes, HTL & LTL etc., wherever necessary, shall be sourced from other data sources.Offshore wing and wave from established sources.

INSPECTION OF BERTHS

Contractor shall undertake visual inspection and conduct NDT testing wherever necessary. This will be used for the assessment of the berth structure. The scope includes mobilization, provision and operation of all the necessary equipment like floating crafts, survey equipment and personnel as required for the satisfactory completion of the survey work.ABOVE WATER INSPECTION

THE ABOVE WATER ASSESSMENT SHALL BE BASED ON VISUAL INSPECTION. THE INSPECTION SHALL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING AS PER THE SPLIT SCOPE.Deck SlabTopside Steel StructuresTrestle StructuresGangwayBollardsBreasting Dolphins and Mooring DolphinsCathodic Protection Systems (if any)

The visual inspection shall identify Metal separation due to fatigue damage in high stress area, Member damage, and detection of significant structural damage during visual inspection should be subjected to further evaluation by conducting detailed under water inspection.

UNDER WATER INSPECTION

For under water inspection divers shall be mobilizedThe divers shall be skilled and qualified for diving and NDTThe diving Team shall be under the supervision of qualified personnel.The divers shall clean marine growth on under water jackets identified for inspection and NDT.Assessment of the underwater structural items for defection, distortion and any other damage along with NDT.Detailed under water inspection shall include quantitative measurement of affected structural members and conduct NDT for crack detection, CP measurement and measurement of anode diameters.As the number of piles that have to be inspected are not mentioned, a maximum of 100 piles shall be tested for NDT.

GANGWAYStudy of existing gang way of all the three berths.Changes required, if any, to suit the access to modified VLCC (320,000 Dwt vessels).

HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL STUDIES

Generating Bathymetry using the data from surveySetting up a large scale model in Delft 3D softwareOffshore wave transformation from the large scale modelCalibrating the Large scale wave model from survey data and offshore wave data for wave and tideSetting up of small scale modelExtracting initial and boundary conditions for a small scale model from the large scale modelCalibrating the Small scale wave and tide model from survey data for wave and tideSimulation of the above model for typical site conditions

NAVIGATIONAL SIMULATION STUDIESDESIGN VESSELSDesign vessel is assumed as 3,20,000 DWT.The selected model will be simulated considering the environmental effects (wind, waves and tidal flows) on the vessels along with shallow water and bank effects.Ship maneuvering simulation study will be carried out for all critical movements of the vessel arrival and departure sequences, inbound navigation through the approach channel to the turning basin, berthing and un-berthing, outbound navigation through the approach channel and subjecting the vessels to all possible varying conditions of visibility, wind, waves, tides and currents (conditions as per the numerical model studies)

MODELING THE PORT ENVIRONMENTSTRANSAS software will be used to model the port environment based on the various port layouts provided by the client.The simulation model will be created based on the existing terminal.The model exercise area will be set up to include sea area from outside the approach channel, the approach channel, turning basin and berths.

CONDUCTING THE SIMULATIONSThe TRANSAS NTPro simulator will be used to define operational limits, which permit the vessel to maneuver safely and also allow sufficient controlling options for unforeseen circumstances.The results from each simulation run will be presented in the form of track plots, which shows the envelope of movement of the vessel during the run, as well as graphs indicating vessel speed, course deviation, deviation from the desired track and control actions such as propeller revolutions, rudder angle.Site environment conditions such as currents and winds will be varied as per the planned range of conditions. The limiting weather conditions for safe vessel arrival and departure shall be defined. The runs will be subsequently replayed and analyzed.The results of the ship navigation simulation studies shall broadly determine the following and suggest changes where required Ability of the design vessels in combination with other vessels to arrive and depart from proposed berths in safe, timely and efficient manner under the combined effects of current, wind, tide and swell.Assessment of the operational limits for safe navigation in terms of the adequacy of approach channel length, width and depthAssessment of the operational limits for safe navigation in terms of the adequacy of turning basin size, clearance from operating berths and dredge depthRecommendations on changes to the layout to allow safe navigation for the design ships to the berths.Requirement of dredging shall also be assessed during simulations.

NAVIGATIONRequirement of Navigational Aids as per the maneuvering simulationIdentification of Locations for Approach channelIdentification of safe anchorages for VLCC, tugs pilot and line handling vessels.Dimensions like length width, depth etc all the above mentioned itemsApproach and Berthing scheme for the Design vessel.DETAILED DESIGN

MOORING ANALYSISGenerate Hull form of Design VesselDefine positions of mooring fittingsGenerate and Define properties mooring linesDefine stiffness properties and locations of fendersModeling of environmentCarry out time domain analysis of mooring systemEvaluate maximum line tension and Bollard PullEvaluate maximum vessel excursionRequirement of additional mooring lines in case of excessive vessel excursion
