Berthing Guidelines PAC endorsed on 12 April 2011

Chapter: 2 GENERAL REMARKS (1) These guidelines should be construed as the operations to be performed and conducted

under normal conditions with due regards to weather, ship maneuverability, sea and swell etc.

(2) The conditions hereto as regards to the number of tugs deployed and the working

parameters required are based on the experience gained by pilot members in normal weather, sea and swell, and ship’s manoeuvering conditions; and are deemed to be the minimum requirements as such. Should the condition and circumstances be changed which may affect any working parameter; the pilot may at his discretion amend any requirements therein. Any additional tug in excess of the said requirement as required by the Master and/or ship’s operators to enhance the safety should be concurred and encouraged by all pilots. When two or more Grade II tugs are stipulated in the Berthing Guidelines, they should not be replaced by one Grade I tug.

(3) Transverse thruster or thrusters in good working condition at one end may be accepted to

substitute for one tug. Transverse thruster with under-power will not be considered as equivalent to one tug.

(4) An under-keel clearance of 10% of the vessel’s deepest draught is required in

maneuvering basins, sheltered fairways and approaches to berths. 15% under-keel clearance for any exposed waterways including East Lamma Channel, West Lamma Channel, Western Fairway, Ma Wan Fairway, Urmston Road and Tathong Channel. To ensure safe navigation, the required UKC must be maintained throughout the entire Berthing/Unberthing operation or transit in all tidal conditions. Ample margin must be allowed for the following when calculating the effective UKC: (i) Listing due to e.g. inadequate GM (Vessel Tender), (ii) Delay of berthing/unberthing due to delayed schedule, traffic congestion, weather etc.

particularly on a falling tide. Warning: Owners or masters of vessels may be liable to lighten their vessels to avoid touching of

bottom due to insufficient UKC. (5) The depths of the berths provided in these guidelines are as declared by the berth

operators. Close liaison among the ships agent, berth operators and pilots should be maintained at all times to ensure sufficient depth for berthing and unberthing of the vessels. Good liaison should be maintained among all concerned parties for vessels required to ‘wedge-in’ and ‘wedge-out’ to ensure ample and safe fore-and-aft clearances are achieved.

(6) For vessel moving to and/or from a buoy, the working pilot may take a passage at the

time he considers to be the best and safest route for such vessel. (7) When any special circumstance of the case arises, e.g. adverse weather, No.3 or above

typhoon signal is hoisted up, boisterous sea and swell, different pilot embarking and disembarking areas, hampered vessels or vessels with special construction or characteristics, etc., special requirements for tugs, working condition, servicing time, etc. need to be further consulted.

(8) In emergency or as the situation warrants, these Guidelines are subject to change at short

notice.


Chapter: 3 PILOTAGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Ref : HQ/COM 423/1 (5) PAC Paper No. 2/86 Guidelines on tug requirements for Kwai Chung Terminals/Oil Terminals/Bulk Terminals

1. This paper has been produced for the information of members of the PAC, following

meetings of the AD HOC working group on Compulsory Pilotage, where these recommendations have been endorsed and fully supported.

2. It is recommended that the table produced in this paper should be used when agents

arrange for the booking of tugs, for the towage of vessels berthing and unberthing at Kwai Chung Container Terminal. These tug requirements are to be used during normal working conditions, with the provision that it should have a flexibility on a case basis and should conditions deteriorate during inclement weather, such as in the typhoon season the addition tug requirements may be necessary.

3. Grading of tugs. Tugs mentioned in this guideline are graded as follows:-

Grade I – Locally licensed D/Z-P with horsepower: 2,600 HP or greater – for all vessel of LOA<300m and/or Draft<12.5m 3,600 HP or greater – for all vessel of LOA≥300m and/or Draft≥12.5m Grade II – Locally licensed with horsepower at least 1,248 HP (total)

Both grade I & grade II tug should be equipped with marine VHF.

The grade of tug required in this guideline unless specified will be Grade I.

The requirement on the number of tugs under this BGL shall remain unchanged.

4. There are already in existence in Hong Kong a code of practice with certain companies

owning large container vessels, to use the recommended number of tugs mentioned in the guideline and in addition request that two tugs are in attendance from the movement of the vessel from Green Island to the berth at Kwai Chung and vice versa.

5. For tankers, it is strongly recommended that these guidelines be strictly followed. Due

to the volatile and dangerous cargoes that these vessels transport, only tugs with Twin-Screw should be used for the berthing and unberthing of tankers at oil or LPG terminals.

6. For all bulk and oil terminals (including CLPTSK & HKELECT), where the BGL

stipulates 3 tugs are required, at least 2 tugs must be 3,600 HP each or min. 7,200 HP together (Tug 2,600HP not accepted). If 4 tugs are required, at least 2 tugs must be 3,600 HP each.

Berthing Guidelines PAC endorsed on 16 February 2009

Chapter: 4 BERTHING REMARKS

(1) Kwai Chung Terminals

a. Sufficient fore-and-aft clearances should be allowed for during berthing and

unberthing operations. The following table shall be used to determine the clearances required:

Minimum Clearance Vessel’s LOA at Each End* Remarks 367m and above 35 metres 300m to under 367m 25 metres Note 2 200m to under 300m 20 metres Note 1,2,3 & 4 Under 200m 15 metres Note 1,2,3 & 4

Note 1 : A mooring rope serving as back spring is needed to be in place on the

appropriate bollard of the berth before the vessel is closing in and reaches a position which is about half ship breadth from the outer-side of the vessels secured at the adjacent berths. Under adverse weather conditions, such as when wind speed is above 22 knots, additional tug(s) may be called for with the consent of the Master.

Note 2 : At the western most of KC5, KC6, KC7, KC10 and KC14, the southern

most of KC4 and KC9, the northern most of KC8 and any other berth with one end open, a minimum clearance of 5 metres less than those specified in the above table would be acceptable at the end adjacent to the berth occupied by other ships, but in no circumstances shold a clearance be less than 15 metres.

Note 3 : When a vessel is required to berth alongside in a reverse direction to its

approach (i.e. stern in approach), such as the cases like portside alongside to KC1, KC2, KC3, KC4, KC7, KC11, KC12, KC13 & KC14 and starboard side alongside to KC6 & KC10 & KC15-20, an additional 5m clearance at both ends, more than those specified in the table above should be allowed, but it needs not be more than 25 metres, or 35 metres for LOA >367m.

Note 4 : During typhoons and when visibility is less than 3 cables, terminal

operators should endeavour to arrange the fore-and-aft clearance of not less than 25 metres for all vessels, except vessels of LOA 367m which require 35 metres.

* Notwithstanding the requirements specified, Kwai Chung terminal operators should

endeavour to arrange a clearance of not less than 25 metres as far as possible, except vessels of LOA 367m which require 35 metres.

b. Berthing of ships with LOA exceeding berth length requires an extra length of

quay front from adjacent berth(s). Irrespective of the ship’s length, a clearance of not less than 25 metres shall be maintained at the corner between berth KC1 and KC5; at the eastern most of KC6, KC7, KC10 and KC11, except vessels of LOA 367m which require 35 metres.


Chapter 4 cont’d…

c. Under Keel Clearance (UKC) at berth and throughout the harbour passage: To ensure safe navigation, 10% UKC must be maintained throughout the entire berthing/unberthing operation at all tidal conditions. The tidal height to be used for calculating the maximum allowable draft should be the lowest within the 2 hours period during the berthing/unberthing operation. The required 10% UKC is allowed for various factors, including but not limited to the following: (i.) Listing due to e.g. inadequate GM (Vessel Tender), (ii.) Delay of berthing/unberthing due to delayed schedule, traffic congestion,

weather etc. particularly on a falling tide. (iii.) Squat Warning: Owners or masters of vessels may be liable to lighten their vessels to avoid touching of bottom due to insufficient UKC.

d. Declared Depths at Kwai Chung Berths: (KC basin maintained depth 15.0m)

Berth No. *Depth @ berth Max. Sailing or Arrival Draft @ KC Basin

KC 1,2,3 & 5 14.0m 14.0m + Tide –10% UKC

KC 4 & 6 14.2m 14.2m + Tide –10% UKC

KC 7 15.5m 15.0m + Tide –10% UKC

KC 8 & 9 15.5m 15.0m + Tide –10% UKC

KC 10 -14 15.5m 15.0m + Tide –10% UKC

KC 15 - 20 15.5m 15.0m + Tide –10% UKC

Remarks: *Depth @ berths (50m from berth to seaward) were declared and maintained

by terminal operators and may subject to change. Masters, agents & operators are cautioned to check with terminal operator for updated information.

Vessels intending to sail or arrive with draft exceeding 15.0m should submit

the following information to VTC & HK Pilots in ample time for consideration. (i.) Water density used for calculating the declared draft (ii.) Draft at water density SG 1.017 (iii.) TPC (tonne per centimetre) (iv.) Estimated GM @ sailing (v.) Increase of draft due to squat @ 8 and 12 knots respectively (vi.) Increase of draft due to heeling of 1 & 2 degrees respectively

e. Any berthing movements within Kwai Chung which are not in compliance with

the guidelines endorsed by the PAC should have the agreement from the Duty Pilot and/or one of the Executive Directors of HKPA. General Manager of HKPA would be responsible for coordinating with all the involved parties.


Chapter 4 cont’d… (2) CLPTSK – China Light & power (Tap Shek Kok coal wharf)

Tap Shek Kok Coal wharf – If berth is partly occupied, then berth with bow pointing to each other @ slack water (HW+2 or LW+2 to +3, but may vary with seasons). Agents to be advised that limited anchorage off berth.

(3) TPGAS – Tai Po Town Gas berth, Tolo harbour

Town gas berth, Tolo Harbour – give warning upon typhoon signal No.1 is hoisted or likely to affect HK as per pilot‘s advice.

(4) EUROASIA wharf. Tsing Yi

a. VHF watch on ch.11 by berths’ supervisor. Also ch.8,9,15,17,69,72,73 and 77 are available.

b. Clearance from barges would be required during berthing and unberthing. c. Bridge mark/light available.

(5) Sea trial – due to the limited sea room and congest traffic flow in Hong Kong waters,

sea trial will only be carried out at day light hours for safety reason. Water at West and South of Lamma Island will be a suitable location to carry out sea trial, compass adjustment and DF calibration.

(6) Transverse thruster(s) at one end meets conditions stipulated below, not limited to,

may be accepted to substitute one tug: - a. It is in good working condition, such that the control button can be adjusted to

full power operating position. b. It can run continuously for not less than 30 minutes. c. It must be totally immersed in water. d. It must not be interrupted by the operation of the main engine or other auxiliary

engine. Note: Master should consider Pilot’s recommendation to use tug even the

above conditions are met, especially in adverse weather or small maneuvering area.

Chapter: 9 TYPHOON PROCEDURE

When Tropical cyclone signal No.1 is hoisted 1. Give warning to tanker at Tolo harbour Town Gas wharf, remind the agent that tugs

will required at least 5 hours notice & the danger of pilot boarding station is exposed to weather.

2. Give warning to vessel at TSK Power Station, TSK CCC, SWSTL and Lamma Power Station.

3. Give warning to all tankers at tanker berths. When Typhoon signal No.3 is hoisted Pilot office should ensure: 1. Tankers at all berths (including Tolo) should clear berth as soon as possible. 2. Bulkers at TSK PST & TSK CCC, SWSTL and Lamma PST should clear berth as

soon as possible. 3. Vessels not moored at a classified typhoon buoy or oversized vessels should clear

mooring buoy as soon as possible.

If typhoon signal No.8 is likely to be hoisted or the wind speed or wave height is likely to exceed the acceptable limit try to give at lease TWO hours warning to all shipping through MARDEP before pilotage service is suspended. (REMEMBER – tugs may be used for pilot transportation if pilot boats could not be operated in heavy sea.) All repair ships at shipyards should be advised to clear docks as soon as possible especially for those vessels requiring towage to the buoy.
