Vessel must be presented in every respect ready to load  product at temperature and pressure in accordance with notice. Vessel will not be permitted to inert tanks while at berth without approval of Terminal Representative. It is not the policy of the Terminal to permit inerting while alongside a berth, and in most cases the Vessel will not be permitted to berth or will be asked to go to the outside anchorage if berthed.

Vessel must be accepted by the Independent Inspector of the cargo. Terminal assumes no responsibility for cleanliness of ship's tanks for loading.

5. Vessel must fit physical configuration of the Jetty and must be able to receive product at normal loading rates, pressures and temperatures as for average vessels of similar size and service. Loading restrictions due to vessel condition or equipment  will be accounted for and deducted from any demurrage claim.

6. Vessel having emergency shutdown valves which slam shut instantaneously must  lock open valves or adjust same to a reasonable closing rate to prevent excessive damaging surge pressures. Loading rates will be reduced to a safe calculated rate depending on ship's valve closure times. If loading rate is greatly reduced because of valve conditions of the Vessel, additional laytime will be allowed to the Terminal.
