Operated by: SAFER Exploration & Production Operating Company (SEPOC).<\/p>\n

Position: Situated at 15.07 N, 42.36 E.<\/p>\n

This terminal consists of a 409,000 DWT Floating Storage and Offloading Vessel (FSO) \u201cSAFER\u201d which is permanently moored 4.8 nautical miles offshore Ras Isa. The terminal operates 24 hours throughout the year, weather permitting.<\/p>\n

This terminal is used for the export of Marib Light crude from the oil wells in Mareb.<\/p>\n

There are no bunker\/fresh water or provisioning facilities at this terminal due to its location.<\/p>\n

                export tanker.<\/p>\n

                \u00a0<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Export tankers must have closed chocks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  \u00a0<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Export tankers must adhere to OCIMF guidelines for the control of drugs and alcohol.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    \u00a0<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. In order to receive helicopters, export tankers must have a helicopter landing area adhering to OCIMF guidelines.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      \u00a0<\/p>\n

                      \u00a0Special parameters & Conditions:<\/p>\n

                      \u00a0<\/p>\n

                      Year Round<\/p>\n

                      In addition to the dimensional limitations and other technical requirements listed above, the following parameters and conditions will govern lifting\u2019s of crude oil from the Marine Terminal:<\/p>\n

                      \u00a0<\/p>\n

                      Split parcel loadings will be allowed consistent with available inventory, available entitlement of the lifter, and confirmation of the lifting schedule as established by the Marine Terminal Operator.<\/p>\n

                      \u00a0<\/p>\n

                      The Marine Terminal Operator will make every effort to minimize loading time on each lifting. When weather conditions and export tanker equipment permit, alongside mooring will be utilized. However, at the sole discretion of the Marine Terminal Operator, tandem mooring will be utilized if it is deemed prudent to do so.<\/p>\n

                      Should deteriorating weather require a berthing change for an export tanker already moored alongside to the designated Holding Anchorage, or to the tandem mooring mode, all related charges associated with the re-berthing will be for the account of the lifter, and time consumed shall not count as used lay time. Where, in the sole opinion of the Marine Terminal Operator, it is deemed prudent to do so, the Operator may, for considerations of (among other things) adverse weather, sea or meteorological conditions, fire, emergency, vessel traffic or other peril of the sea, close the Marine Terminal. Any such closing may be carried out with or without notice and shall impose no liability upon the Operator.<\/p>\n

                      \u00a0<\/p>\n

                      \u00a0Special Lifting Conditions:<\/p>\n

                      In addition to the dimensional limitations and other technical requirements listed above, nominations for cargo lifting in excess of 1,200,000 BBLS aboard the same vessel may be loaded in two parcels but will be treated as completely separate liftings with two (2) sets of lay days. In the event of a second parcel lifting on the same vessel, the Marine Terminal will not be liable for demurrage claims while waiting \u2013 between assigned lay days. Additional charges for pilotage, mooring tugs, helicopter service, etc., will be for lifter\u2019s account.<\/p>\n
