3 Cargo Handling Requirements: Prepurging of Vessel s Tanks: Pre-purge Oxygen Content: Pre-purge Dew Point: Blanket Required: N/A N/A Yes Percent Oxygen in Nitrogen Blanket: 5% Vapor Space Purge: Loading Temperature Range: deg C. Transit Temperature Range: deg C. Discharge Temperature Range: deg C. Maximum Heating Coil Temperature: t required unless temp falls below 0 deg C. Adjacent Maximum Cargo Temperature: 35 deg C. Regional Requirements: See notes below for Singapore and Cefic tes: MPG shipments from Singapore must be handled in a manner consistent with the CEFIC requirements as per the attached link. tes: If Nitrogen blanket is in place and Carrier chooses to transship, carrier must reapply nitrogen blanket on the cargo, both on the discharging and receiving ship, at their time, risk, and expense. CEFIC Guidelines for Distribution and Handling of PG USP/EP Propylene Glycol Previous Cargo Restrictions Prior Cargo Restrictions: 1st last cargo for stowage compartment will be checked against Prior Cargo List version 8 August If the 2 nd and/or the 3 rd last cargoes are on the Prior Cargoes List, it is highly recommended to carry out an analysis of the product prior to discharge to the shore tank. Adjacent cargoes should also be checked. Reference to the Prior and Prohibited Cargo List is provide in the reference section of this procedure. Prior and adjacent cargoes must be approved by Shell Chemicals Marine Charterer. Kosher procedures: Last 3 cargoes and current adjacent cargo(es) will be submitted to Rabbi for approval te: only truly adjacent tanks (i.e. tanks with common bulkheads, not cofferdam spaces, need to be taken into account). Substances not included in the list, but having a hazardous potential will need GCMS analysis. te: Vessel owner must communicate to the Marine Charterer (Singapore) who will then provide 3

4 Propylene Glycol Previous Cargo Restrictions Cont: information to supply (at cargo discharge end) on new adjacent cargo, should the vessel load new cargoes into the adjacent tanks during the voyage from the Shell load port to Shell nominated discharge port. Purpose if to identify the new cargoes for the GC-MS testing to detect any possible contamination. Compliance: Compliance to the prohibited prior cargo list is a must. Any exceptions will require approval from the Shell Chemicals HSSE and additional analytical effort at the discharge port. Stainless Steel passivated tanks (Clause 5.the NIOP11D under trading Rules): Only stainless steel or tank coatings approved for food grade products shall be used for edible oil carriage. Ship tanks which have been newly coated, or fully recoated, or passivated stainless steel tanks shall be considered as new buildings. Cargoes carried prior to the date of such coatings or passivation shall not be considered as relevant. Owners are required to provide independent verification when requested. Owners will not withhold prior cargo information if requested. Ship owners should employ a passivation process such as that recommended under the current version of ASTM A 967. NIOP accepts the media for passivation listed under the ASTM guidelines including, but not limited to, Nitric Acid and Citric Acid solutions. Tank Acceptance Requirements: Tank washing must be appropriate for the prior cargo and include food-grade detergent wash and final potable water rinse. Specific Kosher approved Marine Tank Cleaning procedures can be provided by the Americas Supply manager. These procedures are retained in the Americas Supply Chain Good Manufacturing Link folder. Gaskets in contact with the cargo must be renewed or be Teflon. A cleaning certificate is required to be completed by the independent surveyor as part of their report. Hoses provided by the vessel must be voyage dedicated. After loading, any required hose must be drained, blind flanged, and segregated for use at discharge. All shore and ship cargo lines and tanks are to be presented clean (residual free), dry, odor free, and rust free, with good gaskets and pressure tested heating coils. Heating coils to be blown clear with nitrogen Stainless Steel or Coated Tanks : Wall Wash Required: Stainless Yes 4

5 Wash tes: Using Methanol: Chlorides = 1ug/g(ppm) Color Hydrocarbons Appearance = 5 Max = Pass = Clear and free from suspended matter. Cargo Sampling, Analysis, and Retention Requirements: Sampling and analysis activities will be undertaken as part of the loading process. These activities will be managed by Seraya operations/lab personnel or contracted surveyors. The requirements for sampling, analysis, and retention, are defined in the Supply GMP document for Testing, Analysis and Retention available through regional Supply Managers. Safety Information and Incident Reporting. Safety Information: For more detailed information, refer to the SDS or EDS for reportable spill/release quantities whether in the water, air or ground. ) Incident Reporting: International Registered Vessels : If an incident occurs call Shell International Trading and Shipping in London on (+44) Jones Act Vessels : If an incident occurs call the Shell 24 hr. incident number at The USA National response center telephone number is For additional marine cargo handling advice or information, contact Captain Eddie Trotter at ( ) 5
