1.0 SCOPE
1. Annual Shipment
Products handled and annual quantity
2. Lot Size of Loading/Unloading
Tanker size and/or lot size per product
3. Maximum berth occupancy time per shipment, if available
(Berthing/de-berthing time + Loading or unloading time)
4. Annual Berth Operation Time
— Annual operation days
— Daily operation hours
5. Ballast water disposal quantity
6. Required Utilities for tankers
7. Seasonal variations for each product, if available.
2. Design basis
Maximum, normal and minimum flow rate and corresponding physical
properties should be used for designing loading pumps and
Loading/unloading facilities.
Platform Sizing
1. Berth
Fixes tankers at a certain point to connect with the loading/unloading facilities
that are of a fixed type and include a specific mooring type.
2. Loading/Unloading Equipment
Connects loading/unloading piping with the tanker and shall compensate for
tanker movements.
3. Interconnecting Piping
Connects loading/unloading equipment and refinery/oil terminal pumps and
tanks.
4. Loading/Unloading Pumps
The loading pumps such as centrifugal or rotary types shall be provided.
However, pumps provided on the tanker are used for unloading, therefore, a
new pump for the unloading operation will not be necessary.
5. Measuring Facilities
Measures the volume of oil for the custody transfer of oil loaded or unloaded.
The following methods shall be used to measure the volume of oil loaded or
unloaded.
— Special flow meters such as PD meters or turbine meters should be used
when a higher accuracy is required. A flow meter shall also be used for
loading flow rate control.
— Tank level gauges on cargo tanks or shore tanks

8. ESD Systems
For safety isolation of the tanker and berthing facilities as well as for the
refinery and interconnecting piping.
The type of berth can be classified into one of the following groups.
1. Fixed Type
a. Dolphin Type
b. Pier Type
2. Buoy Mooring
a. Single Point Mooring Type
b. Multi Buoy Mooring Type
On the basis of conditions for selecting a berth type, the type of a berth most
suitable for the job concerned should be selected by the project team members
and respective disciplines or a marine consultant. Table 4.1.1 below shows a
comparison between the fixed and floating types for reference.
