The Offeror shall provide at the owner’s expense a Certified Marine Chemist to certify the ship’s tanks are safe for entry for the internal tank inspection by the Government and/or Charterer representative. The Certified Marine Chemist must enter all the ship’s cargo tanks in advance of the Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) and perform a full four-corner entry inspection.

Acceptable benzene levels are the maximum time-weighted average (TWA) exposure limit is 1 part of benzene vapor per million parts of air (1 ppm) average for an 8-hour workday and the maximum short-term exposure limit (STEL) is 5 ppm for any 15-minute period. Gasoline tanks, after cleaning should be ventilated with forced air or acceptable means for as long as possible to ensure levels are reduced enough to allow entry. All safe for entry / toxicity / flammability assessments will be performed in the presence of the inspecting QAR. Contractor will provide time needed to re-inert after inspection.

ai) Owner must provide, if vessel cargo tanks have heating coils, coil type or composition (such as stainless steel, copper, etc.).

These Certificates should contain all test data required by specification for the products that were previously loaded (last three). Vessel Certificates of Quality from vessel post-load samples are preferred, but if unavailable shore tank Certificates of Quality representing quality of product loaded are acceptable. The Certificates of Quality should contain the test data required by the specification for the product which were loaded. They shall be submitted for each shore tank as well as the vessel tanks after loading (composite sample). Results of “typical” are not acceptable. Additionally the following are required for the specific products mentioned:

1. Naphtha / Condensates: Mercaptan Sulphur, reported in “parts per million” (ppm) or “mass percent”, or Doctor Test (ASTMD 4952). Otherwise, Certificates of Quality should contain the test data required by the specification for the products which were loaded.

2. Gasoline (Motor or Aviation): It must be stated whether the previous product was “leaded” or “unleaded”. This is needed to determine cargo tank “safe entry” testing requirements.

am) Vessel shall either (1) not have carried Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) within its last three cargo or (2) have had its cargo tanks cleaned and conditioned in accordance with the guidance in Energy Institute HM50 if its tanks contained Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) within its last three cargo carries. Offeror shall either state, with the submission of its offer, that (1) the last three cargos were FAME-free or that (2) the aforementioned cleaning has or will occur prior to loading the government’s cargo.

an) Owner must confirm vessel must be able to take upper, middle, lower, bottom, and all level samples of the cargo (to include OBQ & ROB) without contaminating them from the sampling location. If unable to do so or if the sampling location is contaminated or suspected to be contaminated, Charterer will require open sampling on a tank-by-tank basis, consistent with safety and local terminal regulations.

ao) Owner agrees where cargo is carried after contract award and prior to delivery to provide cargo type/description prior to loading, and applicable Certificates of Quality (to include all test data required in the initial RFP) for review within 48 hours after loading said cargo. Test shall be on a sample taken from the ship versus a representative sample from a shore facility. Any rejection of the Certificates of Quality by the Government shall result in the Government cancelling this contract at no cost to the Government.

ap) Vessel must meet all MSC requirements for reporting. Vessel shall provide position/status reports in-port and at-sea every six (6) hours daily at 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 hours local Washington, DC time (GMT-5 EST/GMT-4 EDT) and 72/48/24/12 hr pre-arrival notifications for all ports to Area Command and COMSC TANKERS.
