All instructions exchanged between the DALIA Terminal and the Vessel must transit via the Pilot or Berthing Master. The Pilot or Berthing Master maintains a radio watch on VHF channel 72 and Sampling Samples in vessel tanks will be taken prior to offloading operations and at manifold during the starting period. Then they will be controlled by Dalia laboratory before offloading agreement 8.5 Vessel pumping rate The loading rate of the Vessel is notified by the Vessel Master on the information sheet on arrival. The maximum loading rate of methanol for DALIA FPSO is 200 m3/hr The load flow rate must be reduced to 80 m3/h during the starting and the ending periods of the pumping. Thirty minutes after transfer starts, DALIA CCR will inform vessel if she can increase to

20 Page 20 of 38 maximum agreed rate. The Vessel must advise DALIA CCR of any change in the offloading rate and indicate the reason. 8.6 Emergency load stoppage If the necessity for emergency stoppage arises, due to parting of mooring lines, pollution or serious accident, the Vessel Master must warn the Pilot The Vessel also warns the DALIA Terminal on VHF channel 8 The Vessel Master is responsible for pumps control, all valve openings and closures and for the safety of the cargo on board the Vessel. 9. POST-OFFLOADING OPERATIONS METHANOL 9.7 End of loading, final stoppage The vessel give a 30 minutes notice to the pilot and reduce loading rate as per previously agreed The vessel stop loading when the cargo is completed except if agreed differently or on request of the pilot, berthing master or DALIA CCR Tank inspection after offloading must be undertaken in the presence of the Pilot as per Total E&P Angola directions. 9.8 Hose disconnection Before disconnection, the hose will be purged with nitrogen and then flush with fresh water during 20 minutes (quantity of water around 15 m3).the purging and flushing operations will be supervised by the pilot who will instruct vessel crew. Hose disconnection operations are undertaken by the Vessel crew and supervised by the Pilot or/and the Berthing Master. 9.9 Formalities prior to departure of Vessel Commercial documents The Vessel s master and the pilot will remit all the commercial documents, as per the directions received by the Total E&P Angola directions.
