Reporting is a requirement even in the case that the vessel is not expected to berth at Kwanda (e.g. arriving for repair and/or clearance purposes). Channel fee is levied from all vessels passing the Pululu Channel Registration Procedure 13.2 Freighters & Tankers (Including Chemical/Product Tankers) 1. When within VHF range, vessel shall report to Kwanda on Ch. 77, and advice ETA off Ponta Padrao. 2. On approaching Outer anchorage (Off Ponta da Moita Seca or Ponta Padrao), vessel shall contact Maritime Police, (Call MP Control'), on VHF Ch. 16, and obtain permission to anchor. 3. On anchoring, vessel shall report to 'MP Control' on VHF Ch. 16 and Kwanda on Ch. 77, to register. (Calling Kwanda Port is important as all vessels for Commercial Operations will be berthed on a First Come ~ First Served basis, unless there is a berthing priority decided by the Kwanda Port Management). 4. If the arriving vessel has completed pre-berthing documentation procedure and Kwanda has confirmed to the vessel on VHF Ch. 77 that the berth allocated for the subject vessel is free, the vessel shall request MP control for clearance to enter the Pululu channel and berth, even-though the vessel has not dropped anchor at outer anchorage. Vessels are deemed have arrived and the time is considered to be arrival time when the vessel reports either: Anchored off Ponta da Moita Seca ( S, E) or off Ponta Padrão or If permission has been granted by MPcontrol to enter the Pululu channel without anchoring: when passing the 1 st set of Buoys (E2, E3) inwards. Vessels requesting a berth other than for Commercial activities (e.g. Crew change, Passengers, Port Clearance etc.) will have least berthing priority and will not be included in the 1 st come 1 st Served scheme. For such vessels, a Berth will be provided only if there are no vessels awaiting berth for Commercial Activities. Any lay-time related to Kwanda shall exclude the following: 1. from the time of arrival to the time of 1 st Daylight High-water. 2. from the time of commencement of heaving up of anchor to approach for Pilot, to the time of Clearance by authorities, once at berth.

Extracts from few Safety Notices as of the date of issue of this Criterion, is annexed herewith. Up-to date copies of the Safety Notices are issued to known Agents as appropriate. There is a strong West to WNW stream that is prevalent at the Northern entrance resulting in strong set towards the Ponta Padrão ( S, E). These steams are said to be influenced heavily by the rain fall in the upper reaches of the river. It has been reported by ship Masters that Westerly Cross currents estimated to be up-to 8 knots or more and resulting in a set of up-to 40 when entering the channel has been encountered at times, in this area. These effects are more pronounced for Tug-Barge convoys at the entrance to the channel. Mariners are advised to navigate with caution and maintain a safe navigating speed that provides adequate steerage, taking into account the draft of the vessel and its length. When transiting the Channel, allowance for Squat should also be taken into consideration. As per reports received from Masters of vessels, the strong Westerly set between1st set of buoys(e2, E3) and 3 rd set of buoys (SC3,SC4); is strongest at 1 st set of buoys and begins to reduce from 3 rd set of buoys; and by last set of buoys (KB1,KB2), is almost nil. Flood and Ebb tidal flows within the Kwanda Basin are quite strong (Est. 5 kts or more at times at some locations) but it has been reported that there is very little movement in tidal flow between ± 1 Hr. from HW and LW. Direction of tidal flow is approximately in the direction of the channel at the Southern end of the Channel Currents and Lengths of vessels intending to berth at Kwanda Port Attention is drawn to the fact that currents (estimated at 5 knots or more at times, the effects of which may be enhanced by prevailing winds) within the Kwanda Basin and the limitations caused by the area available for manoeuvring to and from the berth including for turning a vessel are among the main determining factors when deciding on the length of a vessel at a particular berth, in addition to the length of a quay and proximity to other dangers. The widths available for turning off the quays are about:

18 PAGE: 18/35 Main Quay : 450 meters Texaco Quay : 275 Meters ALNG Quay : 350 Meters 18.4 Time of entering the Pululu Channel Vessels drawing over 7.0 meter draft (FW) are recommended entry / departure only at High Water and Only in Daylight Hours. Tugs with tows are recommended transit in Pululu Channel only in Daylight hours Transiting the Pululu Channel As per the directive of the Harbour Master, Port of Soyo, Govt. of Angola, Vessels should maintain a safe speed at all times when transiting the Pululu Channel and within the Port waters. Vessels should take all action to ensure that they do not threaten or endanger small fishing craft that are transiting or fishing close to the Pululu Channel. It is forbidden for two vessels to be in the Pululu Channel at the same time. 19 Pilots As detailed herein, Pilotage (Including the Pilot Boat) operates under the authority of the Harbour Master. Pilotage is compulsory for all vessels, unless exempted by the Harbour Master. Pilots are available during Day Light hours. Pilots shall be arranged by the vessel s agent. (Pilots shall be paid for, whether used or not.) Pilot usually boards from a small boat off the 1 st set of buoys, about 1nm to 1.5nm NE off the 1 st Red buoy and usually about 1 to 2 Hrs. before HW. (Approximate boarding position S, E). However, the specific boarding position and time to be obtained from MP control, for each vessel. The Master of the vessel is responsible for safe Navigation of the vessel at all times, whether under the guidance of a Pilot or Not. The vessel will be liable for any damage caused by the vessel to port structures including Buoyage. 20 Tugs (This section to be read in conjunction with the relevant annex) General Information Two tugs with a bollard pull of 28 tons each are available for assistance. Tug shall be given 1 hrs. notice prior to vessel movement. Notice can be arranged through Agents or Directly by vessel. The Tugs Maintain watch on Ch.16 and 71. A 52 ton Bollard pull tug is available to assist vessels with cargo for the ALNG Project. In case this tug is used by vessel(s) not carrying ALNG Cargo, an hourly rate is chargable, as per the Port tariff. (See 20.2 below) For Freighters Tug attends from the last pair of buoys on arrival (SC5/SC6) or at the berth on departure. Tug usage is compulsory (for safety reasons) and payment will be levied whether used or not (see 20.2 below). Even if the vessel has thrusters, it is recommended that the tug be kept on stand-by for safety. Port Tugs are not permitted to carry Passengers due to Legal implications Payment for tug use Freighters and Supply Boats Tows and other special operations paid for by the Consignees of Cargo, through a Tug Surcharge based on the monthly tonnage of cargo loaded / discharged in the port. As per the Kwanda port tariff, depending on the type of operation.

19 PAGE: 19/35 Freighters without ALNG Project cargo 21 Vessels Engaged in Towing Operations. If the 52t bollard pull tug is used, charge applicable as per tariff for special operations As per Harbour Master s directive, towing operations within the confines of the Port of Soyo are only permitted to be executed by experienced tug masters. Tug Masters shall remain responsible and accountable for the tug and the towed object and shall ensure that they do not threaten or endanger any vessels anchored or moored in the Port. Further, the tug shall manoeuvre the tow in such a manner that it is kept well clear of the channel buoyage. It is recommended that for vessels with the tow astern, the length of tow wire to be reduced to the minimum safe length, when entering the Pululu channel (so that there is lower probability that the tow will drift in the cross currents). Inexperienced Shipmasters who wish to enter the port with objects in tow shall call on the services of the Port of Soyo Pilotage. For all tows, use of the Port Tug for assistance is Compulsory for safety reasons (due to the strong cross currents at times making the towing object uncontrollable in the channel). It is imperative that Kwanda is advised of the tow, by the towing vessel, at least 1 hour before entering the channel, so that the Tug can be kept on standby, ready to assist. Tug attends from the 1 st pair of buoys on arrival (E2/E3) to berth (or Anchorage as applicable) and from the berth (or Anchorage as applicable) to 1 st pair of buoys on departure. For large barges and those with heavy cargo, it is recommended that services of a 2 nd Port Tug be requested. (See 18.2) The requirement for Port Tug assistance is compulsory for safety reasons, even if the tow is assisted by a second (Private) tug and will be invoiced accordingly. The Vessel's Agent should request for tug assistance from Kwanda Port, by submission of a Service Order to the Kwanda Nautical Department at least 1 Day in advance of the intended operation. (See item 10.2 for details of completion of the Service Order). Tugs with tows are recommended transit of Pululu Channel only in Daylight hours. The Master of the Tug (of the tow) is responsible for safe Navigation of the vessels at all times, whether under the guidance of a Pilot /assisted by the port tug, or Not. The vessel will be liable for any damage caused by the vessel(s) to port structures including Buoyage. When in Kwanda waters, view the strong currents (the effects of which may be enhanced due to prevailing wind conditions), for safety reasons, the Tug which is accompanying the Barge should remain attached to the barge and ready to manoeuvre at short notice at All times, even if the barge is moored alongside a quay/vessel or is at inner anchorage. 22 Navigation in restricted visibility The Harbour Master considers Restricted visibility to be when the horizontal visible distance is less than 200 meters. In restricted visibility, traffic is not permitted to navigate within the Pululu Channel; except in cases of absolute necessity and where permission has been granted by the Port of Soyo Control (MP Control). This restriction applies to all vessels. 23. Size of Vessels Draft : Maximum Recommended Draft = 7.3 Meters in Fresh Water in the Pululu Channel and dredged area of the port waters. Length (LOA) : The Port Authority / Harbour Master has no objections for the entry of vessels up to 170m LOA at the port of Soyo. In order to ensure a safe maneuver to and from berth, the maximum size / length of vessels accessing the Kwanda Port at any time needs to take into account and suit to the following constraints among which some can and do vary from day to day, and season to season: - tidal currents, - turning basins dimensions respectively 450/275/350m in front of Main/Texaco/ALNG & Commercial quay, - bollard pull of the port tugs, - season and corresponding winds and rain fall, - vessel's particulars and capabilities considering among others the power of the main engines, bow-thruster(s), draft, air-draft, manoeuvring characteristics etc. - characteristics of the quays.

20 PAGE: 20/35 To allow optimum use of available berths and to minimise constraints to berthing, it is recommended that the LOA of vessels to be operated at non-fully dedicated quays should not exceed: Main Quay : 150 Meters Commercial Quay : 140 Meters Texaco Quay : 100 Meters. The ALNG Quay is for the exclusive use of ALNG project vessels, and vessels up to the Port maximum of 170m are allowed, provided that there is full compliance with the recommended criteria as stated in the guidelines. The ENI Quay is for the exclusive use of ENI project vessels. 24 Berthing Mooring Gang and Supervisor is supplied by Kwanda. At least 1 Hours notice shall be given to Kwanda on VHF Ch. 77, to arrange for the mooring gang. Notice should be arranged through the agents / Operator. When Cargo vessels Berth / Un-berth from Kwanda Main Quay and if vessels are berthed in slots 1, 2 and 3 with bows out and at Main Quay North, for safety reasons, the Pilot may require these vessels to vacate berth until the manoeuvre is completed. If vacating of slots are required in Pilot s opinion, agent, shall ensure through MP control, that these slots and any crafts (Supply boats) moored in the Main Quay North area, are vacated in advance. At least 1 Hours notice of expected POB time shall be given by the Agent to Kwanda Port (on VHF 77) and to the vessels concerned (through MP Control), so that cargo operations at the subject vessels can be stopped and the vessels readied to clear the manoeuvring area, in time. 25 Port Equipment (to be read in conjunction with paragraph 26.3): Various mobile cranes of up-to 100t capacity are available to aid discharge of Special / Heavy Lift cargo (see 26.1). However, it is required that all freighters are equipped with own gear with sufficient load /rate capacity, capable of handling cargo to be discharged / Loaded at Kwanda. Payment is applicable as per port tariff, if shore cranes are used. Various ancillary equipment such as Fork Lifts (Various capacities), Trucks/ Trailers etc. is also available. Port has no equipment to discharge/handle Dry Bulk cargo. 26 Cargo Recommendations: Cargo should be stowed in such a manner that the Port Stevedores have safe access at all times for handling the cargo. This includes safe footing and adequate lighting. In case of Bagged Cargo, it is the responsibility of the Consignee to ensure supply of empty bags, to enable collection of spillage if any Special / Heavy lift Cargo : Any single package of over 20 tonnes gross weight is deemed to be Heavy Lift Cargo. For cargoes of 42 metric tonnes and over, Confirmation of facilities available for discharge and prior approval is to be obtained from the Port Management (By shipper / Operator of vessel), prior to accepting of such cargo for shipment to Kwanda Port General Cargo (to be read in conjunction with paragraph 26.3): Unless the following recommendations are adhered to, excessive delays can be expected for cargo discharge. All practicable cargo (e.g. Pipes / Bundles of pipes, Boxes of 1 M 3 or more) should be pre-slung. If so required, crew will be allowed to collect the slings to be returned to the vessel after cargo is discharged on to the quay. As an alternative, cargo should be palletised and stowed in such a manner that they are reachable by (small) fork lift or can be easily slung. Any cargo in small packages (e.g. In 50kg bags or small boxes) should be palletized or packaged and pre- Slung. If there is no direct access by crane / derrick hook to cargo, they should be movable to such location by fork lift.

21 PAGE: 21/35 For cargo in Super bags/big Bags (usually of 1 to 1.5t each), vessels should be equipped with cargo gear of at least SWL of 10 tonne each, so that a spreader beam can be used to aid discharge. Cutting/Removing and/or welding/securing of Sea Fastenings Kwanda Port does no provide this facility. It is recommended that this be carried out by ship s crew, as facilities for such operations are very limited and usually results in excessive delays, if carried out by external contractors. The following should be taken into account for cargo to be discharged and loaded: Kwanda Port Area should not be considered a storage area for Cargo. For Cargo to be Discharged : Client s yard should be available for direct delivery from Port, specially for large parcels. Berthing may be delayed until such time the Port Management evaluates and decides that the receiver s yard is ready and suitable to accept the cargo. Any adverse consequences and costs involved due to the client s yard not being ready to accept the cargo, will be to client s account. For Cargo to be Loaded : Preferable if storage time within the port be limited to a maximum of 24 Hrs. before intended time of loading. Storing of discharged cargo in the port is at the discretion of the Port Management and is severely discouraged. However, if the management decides to accept such cargo, if storage time exceeds 72 hours due to non readiness of yard space of receiver, charges would be levied as per tariff. Special for Supply Boats : Once the location of berthing has been decided, cargos to be loaded to be made ready in a staging area near the quay, in consultation with the Operations Dept. Quay Coordinator. This should be done within 24 Hrs. of vessel s expected time of berthing (ETB) obtained from the port General Cargo Freighters - Special clause: The notice given in Annex 3 is applicable unless a special agreement has been reached with the Port Management. Attention is drawn to the fact that All Cargo Vessels calling at Kwanda are expected to be equipped with their own gear capable of discharging the cargo which is being carried on board, at the rates of discharge given in Annex 3. If the standard rates of discharge are not achievable due to reasons attributed to vessel s cargo gear, Shore cranes may be used,chargable as per port tariff. If a vessel has to be shifted due to operational reasons, all charges involved will be to vessel s account Cargo in Barges and Landing craft: Unless agreement has been reached with the management to discharge cargo by shore cranes, Barges and landing craft should be geared. If carrying Dry Bulk cargo, cargo should be able to be discharged via a ramp / Conveyor belt. In such a case, it is the responsibility of the consignee, to arrange discharge and delivery. Crafts with such bulk cargo will be berthed on condition that any cargo spillage and residue on the quay and the roads within the Kwanda Base through which the cargo is transported is cleared immediately. : Kwanda Port has no facilities to provide gangways Refrigerated Containers Kwanda Port does not provide facilities for plugging in or maintenance of Refrigerated containers discharged from Vessels (or to be loaded to vessels) and will not accept liability for damage to cargo if any, due to none plugging in of Reefer containers. It is the responsibility of the Receiver to maintain temperatures of Refrigerated Cargo from the time of discharge from a vessel. Refrigerated containers will be accepted for discharged from a vessel on condition that the Receiver shall be ready to accept direct delivery of such Containers. 27.

31 PAGE: 31/35 Annex 5 Port Tug GENERAL CONDITIONS OF PORT TOWAGE IN SOYO PORT SONATIDE, the towage company, undertakes their operations on the following standard terms and conditions, in which the words the Company and the Contracting Party refer respectively to the towage company and to the operator of the ship or other vessel towed. 1. It is expressly agreed that towage operations undertaken by the Company inside or on entering or leaving harbour, and in roads and anchoring zones, shall be subject to the following contractual conditions, whether or not any document is signed prior to the operation. 2. The towage contract is a hire-of-service contract, in the performance of which the Company puts traction at the disposal of the Contracting Party, in other words the moving power of its tugboats in seaworthy condition and the services of its crews, whether or not the towed vessel has a crew of its own. 3. The contractual period begins as of the moment when the tug(s), approaching the contracting vessel to cast or receive the towline, to push the vessel or to undertake any operation in connection with towage, is/are liable to receive orders from it, whether or not these be given, or is/are sufficiently close to the vessel to be subjected to its action or liable to collide with it or be hit by it. This period ends, once the operation is completed, as soon as tug(s) have moved sufficiently away from the vessel so as to be no longer subjected to its action or liable to collide with it or be hit by it. 4. Throughout the course of the contractual period as defined above, it is expressly agreed that the captain and crew of the tugs are at the disposal of the Contracting Party and are thereby the latter s agents, exclusively under his control and direction, employed to perform a task. The tugs are thus in the care of the Contracting Party. This being so, any average, damage or other such cost of any nature whatsoever, incurred either by the vessel towed or by the tug(s) in the course of the towage operations, shall be borne exclusively by the Contracting Party. The latter shall also be liable for any claims brought any third parties against the vessel towed or against the tugs arising from any incident during these operations. The Company shall remain liable, however, for gross personal negligence in the performance of its commitment to supply means, tugs and crews. 5. Towlines appropriate for the towage operations shall be supplied by the tugboat this in any way affecting the principle of responsibility laid down in clause 4 above. No additional charge will be made for this use of the tugboat s towline. The vessel towed may, at its own request, use its own towline, but this preference shall in no way entitle it to any corresponding reduction in the towage price. 6. The company reserves the right to replace, even in the course of manoeuvres, one or more tugs with others belonging to it or to other owners. 7. Under no circumstances may any claim be made against the company for delay or for the consequences thereof. 8. Port charges, pilotage dues and boatage charges concerning the tug(s) or the vessel towed shall be borne by the contracting party, whether during the towage or for the tugs outward or inward passage before and afterwards. 9. Any operation begun is considered owing in full even in the event of loss of the vessel towed for any reason other than the company s gross personal negligence. The company is entitled to payment of the price of any operation ordered. 10. The company is entitled to payment in those cases where exceptional circumstances modify the nature of the services stipulated in the contract. 11. Towage fees (or other fees as defined above) are included in Kwanda operational fees to be paid by Clients to Kwanda Lda. 12. Exclusive jurisdiction is expressly attributed to the court of London, to which all disputes must be submitted, even action to enforce a warranty, cases where a relationship with another case may justify their being tried together or those with more than one defendant, it being agreed that this clause shall stand as an express exception to any provision to the contrary
