VHF: The Terminal Oil Movements Control Centre keeps continuous watch on VHF ch 16, ch 14 and 11. Vessels approaching the terminal should make contact on VHF ch 16, 3-4 hours prior to arrival. Upon contact the vessel will be requested to switch to VHF ch 14. This channel will also be used by Terminal Marine Section for internal use and tanker mooring control.
VHF ch 11 is reserved for communications between ships in mooring and Terminal Oil Movements Control Centre and should only be used for general purposes after obtaining clearance from oil movements control on VHF ch 16. This is a safety measure, since oil
flow to ships is controlled through VHF ch 11 and therefore it must be clear at all times in case of the need to stop oil flow for any reason. VHF ch 16 is for calling and safety use only.
In case of failure of radio and or radio telephone communications, daylight lamp
signaling may be used with the control centre of the terminal administration building located on top of the ridge WSW of Ras Lanuf. |
