1.1 Climatological, Geological Conditions at Karachi Port.
i. Temperatures
The extreme maximum temperature of 48o C and minimum temperature of 39oC were observed in Karachi city area over the period of last 80 years. However, the extreme temperatures near sea-side as recorded at Manora observatory were maximum 36 o C and minimum 10oC F. The mean monthly temperature variations at sea-side during summer months are between 32 o C and 24 o C and during winter months are between 24 o C and 16 o C .
ii. Relative Humidity
The relative humidity regularly remains higher in the mornings than in the evenings. The observations at 8.00 AM gave values between 63% in January and 90% in August,, and at 5.00 PM, humidity varies between 44% in January and 77% in August.
iii. Precipitation
Karachi belongs to the dry zone of Pakistan. The mean annual rainfall is only 7.70” of this, approx. 3.20” alone fall during the rainy months of July & August. The average number of rainy days in the years with precipitation of over 0.10” or more is 10, of which 3 are to be expected in July. Substantial deviations from the above mean values are also possible through extraordinary meteorological condition. Accordingly, because of excessive rains during the months of March, July and August of 1967, the annual precipitation of about 38” was recorded for the full year of 1967.
iv. Wind and Storms
The prevalent wind direction in the months of April to October is south-west to west. In other months, it fluctuates between northwest and north-east. The predominant wind force is in the range 4-7 Beaufort scale, which if observed during the months of May to August, with average wind velocity of upto16 Kots. Individual wind force in the Beaufort scale 8 had also been observed during these months. Cyclonic storms with forces of Beaufort 10 and more have also been observed, but their frequency is one in two years.
v. Tidal Water levels
The following tidal water levels in relation to Karachi Port datum, are valid for the Port of Karachi.
Mean higher high water +8.8ft
Mean lower high water +7.2ft
Mean sea level +5.4ft
Mean higher low water +3.6ft
Mean lower low water +1.4ft
Highest high water spring +9.4ft
Lowest low water springs -0.7ft
Highest astronomical tide +10.4ft
Lowest astronomical tide -1.4ft
Highest high water +12.2ft (Recorded on 23.5.1959)
Lowest low water +2.4ft (Recorded on 25.12.1953)
Springs near solstices
The highest tidal water level of + 14.3 ft. KPD was recorded during a cyclonic storm in June 1902.
vi. Tidal current
The following tidal currents were recorded in front of Oil Piers.
Flood current 1.02 knot or 1.73 ft. per second
Ebb current 1.30 knot or 2.20 ft. per second
The maximum tidal currents are not likely to exceed a velocity of 2 knots or 3.38 ft, per second at extreme spring tides in the lower Harbour of the navigable channel.
vii. Wave Heights
No appreciable wave heights in front of the existing oil pier facilities have been registered till now. The wave measurements recorded over past several Years, at 30 ft. depth contour in open sea opposite the Manora peninsula near the entrance to Karachi Harbour, indicated maximum significant wave height of 7.0 ft. during monsoon months of May till September, and about 1.0 ft, in December with wave period ranging from 6 to 12 seconds.
Viii. Corrosion
Corrosion manifestations below the level of + 8.0 ft. KPD are tolerable. However, they heavily increase at + 10.0 ft. KPD level, and appear in an extraordinarily sever form above this lever, where the corrosion rate has been observed at about 0.06” per Year, and necessitate adequate corrosion protection system.
ix. Earthquake
The entire coastal strip of Pakistan belongs to an active seismic zone, which extends inland towards the north, via Lasbela, Jacobabad and Kalat. The epicenters in most cases, lay in the north and in the western portion are expected. For this reason, a horizontal mass acceleration of 1/10 to 1/20, with a mean of 1/15 of the vertical acceleration due to gravity is taken for Karachi area.

These Yard tests shall be of adequate duration to ascertain good working and durability of machinery /equipment under test and to prove satisfactory working of the complete installation or system as a whole, to the entire satisfaction of the Engineer or the Class where so required. If under the tests and trials any part of the system or machinery, equipment etc. fails to fulfill adequately the specified requirements, the faulty part shall be altered, renewed or replaced and the test repeated at the Builder’s expense till such time that the Engineer and / or Class is satisfied. Complete protocol of these tests shall be prepared and signed by Builders, Class and Engineer. Six copies of test protocols shall be supplied with the delivery documents.
9. The main test and trials shall comprise basically of the following.
a) Inclining test of one of the Split Hopper Barges fully equipped and completed. Final calculations of stability for which this test forms the base, shall be submitted to the classification Society for approval immediately after carrying out the inclining test. Approved copy Stability Book shall be made available to the Engineer as soon as possible. Six copies of approved/stamped Stability Books to be handed over with other documents prior to delivery of Split Hopper Barges.
b) Dock moored trials with propulsion installation. These trials are to be maintained during at least 8 hours at a stretch.
c) Torsional vibration measurements on the shaft lines of the propulsion installation, including absorbed power shall be carried out during speed trials.
d) Anchor trials during Sea Acceptance trials shall be carried out.
e) Speed trials on a measured mile to be carried out.
f) Brake tests to determine the time and distance necessary to stop & reverse the Split Hopper Barges, when sailing at full speed ahead.
g) Turning circle trials, both PS and SB. Turning circles to be measured and time to be recorded.
h) Endurance test for at least six hours, sailing full speed ahead with full output of the engines. Fuel consumption to be measured during these trails.
i) Splitting Barge test shall be carried out twice by filing the hopper to full capacity with dredged material of S.G as near to 1.6 as possible and discharging it by splitting the barge. Times for filling. Overflowing excess water and emptying the hopper to be recorded. This test is to be repeated twice.
10. All instruments required for the tests, such as torsion meters, tachometers and ammeter duly calibrated, shall be provided by the Builder. Results are to be measure and recorded. Extrapolation or Estimates will not be acceptable.
The Engineer shall have the right to decide whether the proposed test sites and water depths are suitable to carry out these trials.
Tests and trials which are considered unsatisfactory are to be repeated at the Builder’s expense until they are successfully carried out to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
11. The Builder has to report all date / measurements and results of the tests and trials to the Engineer and get his approval in six folds before delivery of the Split Hopper Barges to the owner at Karachi port.
12. After all the trials have been carried out satisfactorily and test results documents submitted, the Split Hopper Barges shall be neatly finished, dried, Cleaned, oiled, etc. All paint and varnish is to be brought in a fairly good conditions. All defects and failing found shall be repaired and all spare parts and inventories shall be put on board so that the Split Hopper Barges are ready for transport and confirmatory trials for final delivery to the Owner at Karachi Port.
13. After arrival in Karachi confirmatory trials in respect of items. (d), (e) , (f), (g), (i), mentioned above, and a restricted endurance test (h) for at least 3 hours will be carried out prior to final acceptance at Karachi Port.
All tests and trials, including the repeated tests and trials, if any, shall be carried out by the Builder and be its full responsibility to carry out these tests to the full satisfaction of Engineer / Class. The builder shall also bear all costs inducing costs for the crew, fuel oil, lubricating oil, etc.
