BALANCING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION & METHODOLOGY Balancing system •

The arm is balanced by counterweights and pulleys so that it is balanced empty in all conditions without the intervention of any external mechanical force.

For the outboard section and style 80: 

By the main counterweights on the balancing sheave beam with the pantograph

For the arm assembly:  By the main counterweights / balancing sheave assembly which compensates the weight of inboard, outboard sections and the "Style 80"  By the additional counterweights (if necessary) fitted on the beam of inboard arm for making better the inboard section balancing Methodology Proceed as follows : 1.

Adjustment of the parallelism ( outboard arm & outboard counterweight beam ).

2.

Adjustment j of the outboard balancing. g

3.

Adjustment of the inboard balancing.

Mechanical adjustment & tests •

Wire ropes are subject to initial stretching, and may require adjustment of turnbuckles to remove excessive slack ( generally on sea side turnbuckle tu buc e ). )

Check the arm balancing, extending it into the working area and unselect the arm from “selected” mode to “free wheel” mode - Check that the outboard counterweight beam is parallel to the outboard section - Check that the outboard and inboard arm remains fixed once the maneuver is stopped •

A slow l motion ti off outboard tb d and d inboard i b d arm is i acceptable t bl by b consideration id ti off the th mechanical h i l parameters t off the th equipment i t and d the th service i conditions

22

PANTOGRAPH CABLES & WIRE ROPES MAINTENANCE Annual preventive maintenance: • Check condition of cable (greasing,slackness,ect.) • Check lock nuts, coupling sleeves and turnbuckles for looseness • If the sea side pantograph cable is too tight, it would impose undue loads on the style 40 and balancing sheaves swivel joints; if required loose a sea side turnbuckle and check again the parallelism • Periodical lubrication (Minimum yearly greasing ) • Wire rope shall be lubricated. Whenever a lack of lubricant is noted, remove all di t prior dirt i to t lubrication, l b i ti by b using i compressed air or by brushing and grease again  Pantograph cables (Upper & lower side)  Inboard driving system wire ropes • Setting of pantograph cables parallelism ( after replacement ).

Safety instructions regarding the wire rope • Corrosion : If the wire rope are kept lubricated as noted above, then this will not be a problem. It is essential that corrosion does not take place place. Internal corrosion is not visible and external corrosion may just be pitting, which is not visible to the naked eye. The first sign of corrosion will be rust forming on wire rope. The wire rope should be replaced if too much corrosion occurs. • Loss in diameter : This condition is due to excessive strain, internal corrosion or broken wires and requires replacement of the wire rope. • Broken wires : Each "lay" is made up of strands, and each strand is made up of a group i At A the h first fi sign i off a broken b k wire, i the h off wires. wire rope must be replaced since it is not possible to see broken internal wires.

• Check that the cable section winding round the sheaves are in the middle of the channel and not against one of the flange. • Pantograph cables maintenance ( refer to the maintenance manual / Section § 5 )

PRODUCT & STRUCTURE SWIVEL JOINTS DESCRIPTION A swivel i l joint j i t assembly bl • Enabling the loading arm once connected, to follow the movements of the vessel within the working envelope. • Allow the rotation between two items of a product line whilst ensuring no product leakage, even under external pressure. • The heart of a Chiksan marine arm is the swivel joint. ln a standard marine arm there are six i swivel i l joints j i t with ith the th direction di ti off rotation in three planes giving the arm six degrees of freedom. This allows the arm to be manoeuvred to and from the vessel and, once connected, allows the arm to follow ail the motions of the vessel. • Each swivel joint is made up of a male and female part joined by two or three bail bearing raceways allowing the free rotation of the joint. A compression type packing seal is used to seal the two parts of the swivel joint. Packings • Chiksan swivel packing ensure that fluid does not leak. They come in a variety of materials depending on the physical and the chemical characteristics of the product being handled. Specially designed low torque packing are used in the style 80 to enable this swivel joint to be easily moved when connecting to or disconnecting from a vessel.

MECHANICAL JACK & ANTI-ROTATION SYSTEM ON STYLE 80 Jack has 3 main goals :

Single leg jack

• The mechanical jack is located at the style 80 (terminal) swivel joint of the marine loading arm .The jack partially transfers arm loads to the tankers deck this reducing manifold stresses. • To balance the style 80. If jack is removed, style 80 will be unbalanced, and angle between coupler and manifold flange will be increased. • Prevent the rotation of ERS after an emergency disconnection sequence:  Indeed, hydraulic actuator is shifted from flange axis. If arm is designed with a vapour return t li line, th the bending moment is still more important. Friction swivel torque is inferior to the moment of hydraulic actuator(s) ( )  Anti-rotation system is linked to the jack. If jack is removed after a disconnection sequence the Style 80 can fall on vessel deck Preventive maintenance: Twin leg g jjack

QUICKON 3 HYDRAULIC COUPLER \ DESCRIPTION General The Quikcon 3 is a hydraulically operated Quick Connect / Disconnect Coupler (QCDC) based on the Chiksan® manual Quikcon coupler. During operation, the jaws of the clamps rotate simultaneously to the correct position as the clamps open or close across the tankers manifold flange. One O-ring seal fitted in a groove of the Quikcon 3 coupler flange insures a positive sealing. sealing Quikcon 3 offers faster mating of flanges than possible through manual flanging operations, another FMC innovation for improved operator safety and lowering tanker dock time. Description Quikcon 3 operates with three (6” and 10” ) or four clamps (12”) assemblies to secure to the ships manifold flange. Designed to work with new, as well as existing, hydraulic pumping units, the coupler may be adjusted to function at different operating pressures Features : • Mechanically locked using irreversible screw and nut mechanism for enhanced safety. • In case of electric power failure, can be opened either hydraulically or manually using a spanner • Reduced turnaround time of vessels

QUICKON III \ HYDRAULIC COUPLER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE \ PRIMARY SEAL REPLACEMENT Primary seals replacement • During the replacement of the primary packing seal, unscrew the M6 screws which maintain the retaining seal brackets. Replace the packing seal and screw the M6 screws. g seal bracket is located as far as possible p from the sealing g face,, to avoid that packing p g comes into brackets during ga • Payy attention to the retaining connection operation. • Check for connecting manifold or spool flange face condition : it must be clean and free of any scratches. Surface roughness of manifold flange must be of the same type and quality than the one of the coupler. • Never attempt to connect the coupler on flange which do not comply this surface roughness requirements. Otherwise, the coupler may probably leak leak.

52

QUIKCON III HYDRAULIC QCDC \ HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PRINCIPLE QCDC control block Q • The aim of this manifold is to control the closing or the opening of the hydraulic coupler, by controlling the 4 hydraulic drives (1 for each clamp) in serial or parallel mode.

Hydraulic schematic

• When closing from an open position :The serial mode is automatically on. on The clamps start to close with the same oil flow, while the pressure is divided by three.

• When one clamp is almost closed: the flow decreases. Then the parallel mode is automatically on. on The clamps continue to close with independent flows, but with the same pressure (190 on each) • Quikcon III is a hydraulically operated coupling, during operation the jaws of the clamps rotate simultaneously to the correct position as the clamps open or close across the ship’s manifold flange. One “O-ring seal fitted in a groove of the Quikcon III coupling flange insures a positive sealing • The closing operation stops in parallel mode, mode when the operator estimates that the coupler is completely closed.

• Hydraulic pressure is not required to maintain the clamping force. The non reversible drive screw system is designed so that this clamping force is maintained automatically • The hydraulic block is composed of metering jets : the hydraulic oil must be clean and without particle to avoid hydraulic trouble shooting

53

QUICKON 3 - HYDRAULIC COUPLER \ PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Yearly maintenance • Open the cover, inspect and full grease QCDC driving system • Before reassembling, clean and degrease the polyethylene cover (07) and the plate (06). Spread a blue silicon layer on the cover surface f and d reassemble bl it with ith the 4 screw (21).

Preventive maintenance / Greasing • Every three months, grease each tightening unit of the hydraulic coupler l with ith FMC specified ifi d grease. The Th coupler l mustt be b greasing i in i open position trough items (17) in two places for each module. Insert approximately 100 g of grease • In order to distribute the grease in the whole tightening unit, make a few opening and closing cycles after greasing • If some squealing noises are audible since functioning, grease the hydraulic Quikcon III coupler using the same procedure

Recommended grease: Kubler Isoflex Topas L32

• Regularly check the seal cover condition to avoid increase water inside the mechanism of the QCDC driving system (motorization) and grease the gearing g g system y fullyy g

54

QUICKON III \ HYDRAULIC COUPLER MAINTENANCE BOARD Periodic servicing and routine inspections • Coupler requires little maintenance, but that which is required is essential and must be accomplished if ultimate service life is to be achieved • Each time that the hydraulic coupler is operated, it would be well to quickly check all hydraulic tubing, hoses and hydraulic block for leakage while the clamps are being closing

55

QUICKON III - HYDRAULIC COUPLER \ MANUAL OPERATION Manual operation of the hydraulic coupler is provided as a safety feature for times where hydraulic operation is not possible Recommended procedure by manual operation of hydraulic block • Remove the protecting cover on the hydraulic block • If any (depends of hydraulic bloc generation) , remove the plastic cap fitted on the setting rod, unscrew the counter-nut then screw the rod on the side of the hydraulic block, in order to push the internal distributor. The block is then in parallel position • Unscrew the screw (23) and the washer (22) located on the driving screw then remove the plug (9) with the V-seal V seal ring (14). (14) • Release each clamps independently, operating each driving screw (3) with a standard 21 mm wrench in the correct direction of rotation • The driving screw (3) has a left handed thread. Screw clockwise to open the clamp • After having unlocked each clamp, unscrew the rod of the hydraulic block in order to bring it back to its initial position. The hydraulic block is returned in serial position • Operate the screw of one of the motorizations using the wrench. All clamps open simultaneously (the hydraulic flow drives all the motors together). The shaft has to be fully turned approximately 25 times to get it from its closed position to the opened position • Reassemble the plug (9) with V-seal ring (14), the washer (22) and the screw (23)

EMERGENCY RELEASE SYSTEM (E.R.S.) \ PRINCIPLE • The h Double-Disco bl i Valves/Emergency l / Release l Coupler l (DDV/ERC) ( / ) provides id the h means to isolate the flow of product and disconnect the marine loading arm from the tanker in the event of an emergency. • Upon disconnection, the loading arm side valve remains part of and isolates the marine loading arm. The ship side valve remains attached to the tanker flange isolating the tanker manifold. Spillage of product is therefore prevented from both the arm and tanker manifold. manifold • The DDV/ERC is activated by the FMC control system. The speed of the operation of the DDV/ERC, opening/closure of disco valves and disconnection of ERC, is adjusted by controlling the flow rate of hydraulic oil from the hydraulic power unit. Two independent p functions are integrated g in the ERS actuator: 

ERS Valves actuation



PERC release

• Mechanical & hydraulic Interlocks between the 2 functions. When the ERS valves are opened p or not fullyy closed: Impossible p to release the PERC without closing g completely p y the double valves • The two disco valves are actuated simultaneously, through a parallelogram link system, as used on hundreds of FMC ERS systems in service. • All the parts of this actuator are protected against corrosion, using the same materials as on Chiksan Marine Loading Arm and hydraulic QC/DC.

DDV & PERC ASSEMBLY \ PERC LOCKING VALVE • Hydraulic y circuit for PERC control is equipped q pp with a manually operated locking valve, installed directly at triple swivel assembly ( Style 80) • It has to be opened at time of connection and closed at time of disconnection. • A control switch detects its position "opened“ Position "closed“ or “Perc valve not armed” : • The manoeuvring of the arm is possible • Disconnection of the PERC during manoeuvring or rest position of the arm is not possible Position "opened" opened or “Perc Perc valve armed armed”:: • The manoeuvring of the arm is not possible (selection of the arm is automatically disable by the FMC logic when the Perc valve is armed) • The disconnection of the PERC is possible in case of emergency after closing of ERS valves. Important : • This PERC locking valve must be imperatively opened for the PERC to be operational. • The PERC valve is manually operated after arm connection to the ship’s p manifold and stayy in opening p g position during all loading time. This PERC valve must be closed before to disconnect the arm. • When the PERC valve is in open position ( PERC armed, arm in “Loading” selection), the arm is automatically unselected by the logic, it’s means the arm is in free wheel and cannot be operated. p Preventive maintenance: • Regularly check the inductive proximity switch and manual operation valve efficiency • Check manual operation valves efficiency and grease the mechanism

SECURING THE LOADING ARMS FOLLOWING AN EMERGNECY DISCONNECTION SEQUENCE (ESD2) Manoeuvre the arm after emergency disconnection : Warning / Major safety issue : It is forbidden to reset an ESD2 emergency disconnection sequence before having stored and secured all the emergency disconnected loading arms on parked position or connected again on the ship. This would put the disconnected arms out of all control and could cause serious personal injury or death (the ESD reset switch key must be removed from the switch). During all operations putting the personal in contact with the products, this personal should be equipped with the safety clothes adapted to the product . • Select manually all emergency disconnected arms, from selector valve cabinet (imperatively), See Picture N°23: • Following an emergency disconnection (DDV close & PERC collar opened), two different alternatives are possible, depending the situation on the berth. The first one is to drain, store and secure the loading arm; the second one is to directly reconnect the loading arm on the ship • From the main control panel, select radio cordless mode for the loading arm operation

DDV & PERC \ GOOD PRACTICE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE • After prolonged service, the DDV/ERC will need to be completely overhauled. The interval between such overhauls will vary from between 5 and 7 years, dependent upon the operating conditions, standard of maintenance and the inspection reports. • The need for an overhaul will normally be confirmed by excessive corrosion, wear of components, or difficulty in operation . • Only minor repairs will be carried out on the coupler in jetty. Major maintenance task should be performed in repair shop in a clean working area by qualified, trained and authorized FMC personnel. • The use of non-FMC OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts voids all design, type, case, test and quality approvals by third-party certifying authorities and may void product warranty. • Major maintenance tasks should be carried out by suitably experienced personnel in a clean area, where the components can be properly documented, repaired or replaced and tested before being reinstalled. Good practice • • • •

Never test operate the ERC unit unless the ship side ball valve is fully supported or the temporary clamping device installed on PERC clamps Always ensure that the personnel are at least two meters away from the unit prior to operating the ERC For low temperature DBV/ERC systems it is important that the ball valves are never rotated when there is ice formation on the sphere. Water wash must no be used to disperse the ice Ensure maintenance and production personnel operating this equipment read and understand the FMC operating & maintenance manual

Preventive maintenance •

Routine testing as per FMC operating & maintenance manual ( It is suggested that the routine test is carried out prior to every cargo transfer )

•

Check for oil leaks on hydraulic actuators , cylinders, sequence valve and hydraulic Perc valve

•

Ensure all hydraulic fittings and hoses are free from oil leaks and are undamaged

•

Check that all pins and washers are in position, secure and undamaged

•

Check that the ‘Y’ shaped connections on the cross linkages are well greased and in correct position

•

Check that the shear pin is in position and undamaged

•

Check hydraulic sequence valve efficiency ( plunger sticky…)

•

Yearlyy greasing g g all DDV and PERC actuator moving g parts p (Rail ( guide, g , guiding g g rod,, pushing p g rod,, mechanical interlocks ect..))

94

FMC EQUIPMENTS DDV & PERC \ GOOD PRACTICE Important p note: • The double valves are only designed for the events of Emergency Disconnection. • FMC does not recommend using the double valves as process valves • Storage of the arms with the double valves closed presents risks that an accidental disconnection occurs • FMC declines d li all ll responsibilities ibiliti for f using i the th double d bl valves l as process piping i i valves l Warning / Major safety issue : • These double ball valves are supposed stay all time in opening position (When the arms are in storage position or in motion). The ERS/DDV are “Emergency valves” and not process valves. When the ERS/DDV are in open position, the tandem cylinder is fully retracted and do not allow operating the ERC when the ERS valves are opened. These entire safety devices are in place to secure the operators against any miss operation. I remind you that the MLA’s must be operated empty of product and without pressure into the product line. • In case the terminal operating policy requires that the ERS valves of FMC loading arms are closed whilst the arms are in stored position, FMC highlights the fact that this creates a potential risks to accidentally pressurize the loading arms. If for any y reason the jetty j y ESD valves are leaking, g, having g the ERS valves closed will not allow operation p people p p to detect this leak. Proper terminal procedures shall be put in place to ensure it has been checked the arms are empty and out of any pressure before the operators manoeuvre the arms and /or open the ERS valves. Non respect of this advice could lead to major accident and FMC will not be responsible for the consequences of such unsafe operations. Warning: • Any removal of any parts of the DDV/PERC for inspection, maintenance and repair, disassembly or reassembly of major arm components should be only undertaken by qualified personnel and with great precaution and care as to avoid handling accidents. • For better safety, these operations should be preferable performed under supervision of FMC personnel. • Never attempt any inspection or repair on a loading arm before having make sure:  That the arm is empty and without pressure  That the arm is locked  That the arm cannot be operated
