Critical Operational Parameters

  • Tidal datum: Hitachi Port Base Level (HPBL) = CD -0.3m
  • Underkeel clearance: Minimum 10% of draft or 1.0m (whichever greater)
  • Mooring line pretension: 30-50% of MBL depending on weather
  • Maximum allowable squat: 0.15 x draft
  • Emergency shutdown zones: 500m radius for oil berths
