n) Owner must provide vessel itinerary from offer to arrival laydays at load port ready for tank inspection.

o) Cargo tanks for this product will be physically inspected for suitability prior to loading.

Government tank inspection procedures require all cargo tanks, ballast tanks, slop tanks or void spaces adjacent to the tanks to be loaded with DOD cargo to be clean and certified as gas free by a qualified Marine Chemist for the tank inspection.

p) Owner must confirm vessel will arrive at load port in a clean, gas-free condition, and be ready for internal tank inspection by Quality Assurance Representative (QAR). Ensure any adjacent tanks are also clean and gas free. Contractor shall provide (Owner's account) a Certified Marine Chemist to certify tanks safe for entry for internal tank inspection by Government and/or Charterer representative. Certified marine chemist must enter all cargo tanks in advance of the QAR and perform a full four corner entry inspection. Certified marine chemist’s inspection must include all tank pockets identified by the QAR to the satisfaction of the QAR. If a prior (last and next to last) cargo contained a percentage of benzene, owner’s certified marine chemist must arrive equipped with benzene detection tubes to measure toxicity for benzene content.

t) Owner must provide copies of Certificates of Quality for last three cargoes. 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.

u) Owner must confirm if the last three cargoes carried were FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl

Esters) free. If tanks did contain FAME owners must provide a statement stating the vessel cargo tanks were cleaned / conditioned in accordance with the guidance in

Energy Institute HM50.

v) 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.

w) 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.

x) 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
