Welcome to Marine Lubricants Port Services Guide

1. PORT RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
   • Supply of IBCs is allowed both at pier alongside or via launch/boat (launch should be 25GTR and over) only at daylight before 6pm (same restrictions for drums and pail). If the vessel is a crude oil tanker vessel, exceptions can be made on the 6pm rule and regulations (delivery and pumping after 6 pm).
   • A Pollution officer is always required when lube oil is involved whether it’s packed product being delivered or pumped.
   • Pumping of IBCs is allowed if the vessel is alongside at day light hours and must stop at 6pm latest.
   • Pumping of drums is allowed if the vessel is alongside at day light hours and must stop at 6pm latest.
   • Restrictions in IRON ORE berths and BST terminal: Stop and start pumping operations due to overhead crane, extra hose length required, lube oils cannot be taken onboard vessel alongside so a launch has to be arranged.

1. For Port Saldanha, the following applies:
   • The local port authorities will charge for any pumping operations - lubricants or bunker - a “PLO fee” of about USD 50.--/hour. A Port Liaison Officer needs to be present during pumping to monitor the operations. Vessel agent will usually arrange this.
