Detailed Design of Berth Facilities

Fig. 2.3 Work Steps for Marine Loading/Unloading Facilities

3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The marine loading/unloading facilities are mainly composed of the followings:

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

6. Ballast Water Facilities


Ballast water is to stabilize the empty tanker by seawater. Therefore, the
necessity for ballast water facilities shall be confirmed with the Client.

7. Utility Supply Facilities


Piping systems in the berth area for supplying bunker fuel oil, potable water,
and other water necessary for tanker navigation and general uses shall be
necessary. However, there is a case that bunker fuel is supplied using a
supply boat. When a buoy mooring type berth is used, utilities are supplied
using small ships; therefore, utility supply facilities should not be necessary. A
utility supply facility to the small ships, such as tag boats, is considered, if
necessary.

8. ESD Systems
For safety isolation of the tanker and berthing facilities as well as for the
refinery and interconnecting piping.

4.0 SYSTEM DESIGN

4.1 Mooring Facility

4.1.1 Type of Berth

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.
