About ADPC The United Arab Emirates (UAE) consists of seven Emirates joined in a union. The UAE is the national government for all the Emirates, and represents the Emirates internationally. Each Emirate though, has its own administration and subject to the national law, makes its own decrees and governance arrangements.

Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and also of the United Arab Emirates.

Abu Dhabi is the largest of the Emirates, with extensive oil and gas assets. However, the Emirate has adopted a major plan to expand the non oil and gas sector and thereby reduce the reliance on those assets.

4

Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) was created in 2006 to be the Port Authority for all commercial ports in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, excluding the Oil and Military ports. Fully owned by the Abu Dhabi government, It has a wide ranging mandate to develop the commercial ports to allow Abu Dhabi to realise its economic vision of having a larger non oil GDP than oil based economy, by 2030. In fact, ADPC is expected, through its port and port related land use, to contribute 15% of the non-oil GDP by that date.

ADPC, as the port authority, is responsible for the provision of pilotage and berthing assistance tugs. It does this through either its own pilots and tugs or by contracted services provided by other companies. In each case the service provider is licensed by ADPC to provide the service. As the Authority, the Company is subject to Abu Dhabi legislation which controls its duties and responsibilities, but also give it the responsibility to make Byelaws, Directions and Rules to manage the port and landside operations. ADPC strives to be the preferred provider of world class integrated ports and industrial zones services.’

FOREWORD HARBOUR MASTER

1.1

GENERAL

Welcome to our new port. Khalifa has been under construction since 2008 and the first berth opened in November 2010 to allow the discharge of bulk cargoes at the Emal facility. The first container berth within the terminal will open in September 2012.

Khalifa port has been constructed on a reclaimed island some 2.5 nautical miles offshore. The rectangular island, the first of three planned, has a paved area of 266 hectares with a berth face of over 3 kilometres. In addition, the dedicated Emal bulk discharge island has a berth length of 800 metres. That berth is connected to the shore by the longest trestle bridge in the UAE. All the berths have been dredged to 18 metres.

1.2

PORT REPORT

Khalifa Port has been constructed for a number of reasons. Firstly, it will support the Industrial Zone (KIZAD) adjacent to the port. Over 400 Km2 of land has been zoned for the development of heavy industry, lighter industry, warehousing and distribution. It is part of Abu Dhabi’s vision to reduce reliance on oil and expand into more traditional industries. KIZAD is expected to produce some 15% of GDP by 2030. Khalifa Port will make a substantial contribution to the Kizad logistics requirement.

Secondly the existing port of Mina Zayed is inadequate for modern port operations, so all of the container operations will be transferred to Khalifa. This will allow for some bulk and specialised cargoes to remain for the time being and for the development of much improved passenger handling terminals.

1.3

PORT PERFORMANCE

Initially, Khalifa Port will be handling container trades with initial capacity of 2m TEU, plus the bulk cargo facility dedicated to the Email aluminium manufacturing plant. There is also capacity for special project cargoes and break bulks, with new warehousing available, both on the island and on the port land ashore. The container terminal will open with 6 ship to shore cranes providing up to 35 moves per hour each and a semi-automated container yard with a capacity for 50,000 containers and plug-in points for 2040 refrigerated boxes. The full implementation of phase 1 of the container terminal will be 12 STS cranes, 52 automated stacking cranes and 33 diesel electric straddle carriers.

This will go some way to fulfilling our vision and mission.

Vision Be the preferred provider of world-class integrated ports and industrial zone services.

Mission Fulfil ADPC’s role in realisation of Abu Dhabi Vision 2030.

Develop and maintain long-term relationships with leading local and international customers.

Achieve sustainable development while supporting community needs and preserving local values.

Be the employer of choice that attracts and retains high calibre staff.

Increase shareholders value and satisfy other stakeholder

The reef supports flourishing marine life: turtles, dugongs, dolphins, sea snakes, clownfish, etc and is 5 x 7 kilometres in size (35 square kilometres)

BA Chart 3176 BA Chart 2889 BA Chart 3752 Publication:

In order to protect the reef the offshore terminal quay (the port island) was built 4.6 kilometres out to sea. An 8 kilometres long environmental protection breakwater was constructed to conserve the reef. The longest causeway bridge span to the port island is 1 kilometre: this allows for continued current flow to the reef.

LOCAL NOTICES TO MARINERS

Any unusual local conditions or changes to navigations aids no promulgated by marine notices will be broadcast by the port VTS. http://www.adpc.ae/en/article/ports/notices-to-mariners.html

The Breakwater cost: US$ 240 million.

Breakwater features Heavy rocks brought from Ras Al Khaimah Emirate were carefully selected and cleaned. This avoided any contamination of marine life. The foundation of the reef is core material, covered with a strong synthetic geotextile like heavy canvas, covered in turn by boulders and then by acropods (coffin-shaped wave breakers).

The breakwater rises 4 metres above water

8.2

SPEED

Vessels are expected to navigate at a safe speed in the port approaches, channel and within the harbour. Any temporary speed restrictions will be promulgated by Marine Notices issued by the Harbour Master

8.3

UKC

A minimum of one metre at all times.

8.4

RIGHT OF WAY

Vessels will be directed by port control when entering or leaving the port and channel. Unless directed otherwise the International Rules for preventing Collisions at Sea (as amended) (ColRegs) are always to be followed.

8.5

SPACING OF VESSELS

Vessels should maintain adequate distances from other vessels, Mariners should be aware of the impact of the approach channel depths and widths and of the cross current on the handling of their own vessel and the impact on the close approach to other vessels.

8.6

PASSING ARRANGEMENTS

As directed by Port Control. There are no special passing arrangements in force and generally no passing will be allowed in the dredged channel once vessels have passed the end of the breakwater when inward.

8.7

EMERGENCY RESPONSE EQUIPMENT

Abu Dhabi Ports Company with consultation and approval of Civil Defence, it was decided to have an off-shore fire station and an on-shore station. ADPC provides its own emergency responders and equipment for the port and the various stakeholders. Off-shore where the majority of incidents are expected will have a Water Tender and a HazMat unit, with watch strength of seven. The on-shore will have the one Water Tender manned by five personnel.

The vehicles are equipped with a full range of hydraulic and electrical rescue equipment, the latest high pressure extinguishing pumps and a complete hazardous material response capability.

This means that ADPC provide Khalifa Port with adequate capabilities of responding rapidly to practically any emergency on the site and controlling any incident until the arrival of external agencies if they are required.

Furthermore ADPC provided Khalifa Port with various types of Oil Spill response equipment such as booms, skimmers and oil spill kits which enable us to respond to vast majority of environmental incidents. These capabilities are supported by engagement of third party contractor that has been in Middle East for over than eight years.

PORT SECURITY

10.1

GENERAL

The main terminals in Khalifa Port are secured to a level in excess of that required by the ISPS Code and they have been inspected and certified as such by the relevant authority in the UAE. In addition the rest of the port has been secured by the port authority and ad hoc vessels calling at berths other than those within the approved terminals will be expected to complete a Declaration of Security (DOS) with the duty port security officer.

10.2

PRESENT ISPS SECURITY LEVEL INFORMATION

The entire port including the bulk and container terminals are currently secured to operate at level one of the ISPS Code. Vessels arriving at a higher security level or in the event of the Port moving to a higher security level the Port Facility Security Officer at the terminal should be contacted to complete a DOS.

10.3

REPORTING TO PORT FACILITIES

The Pre-Arrival Security Notification (see section 3.2 – Arrival Checklist) received by the VTS will be passed to the terminal where the ship is expected to berth so that the terminal can make any particular security arrangements.

10.4

HARBOUR CRAFT SECURITY CODE

Abu Dhabi Ports Company has issued its own Harbour Craft Security Code to provide a level of security for vessels operating within ADPC ports and not subject to the ISPS Code. The HCSC has been developed to both provide onboard security arrangements for harbour craft, but to provide a standard level of security for harbour craft interacting with vessels subject to the ISPS Code. Copies of the HCSC can be seen here: http://adpc.ae/en/media/get/20120119_Harbour-Craft-Security-Code.pdf

PILOTAGE

Pilotage is compulsory subject to exemption as promulgated in the Pilotage Direction. Pilots may be ordered via ship’s agents or directly to Khalifa Port Control.

Notice period for pilots must be at least 3 hrs prior to arrival or departure of the vessel and confirm the sailing time 30 minutes before vessel sailing.

Pilots will board inward vessels at the pilot boarding station in position given in section 7.15

11.4

TUGS

The port operates two ASD tractor tugs, each with 55 tonne bollard pull and equipped to Class one FiFi. Both tugs have ‘Escort’ notation on their class certificates.

Use of tugs is compulsory to assist with berthing or unberthing in ADPC ports, unless the Harbour Master issues an exemption after considering the size characteristics and manoeuvring equipment onboard the vessel. From time to time the Harbour Master may publish recommendations on tug use as well as any general exemptions.

One tug will generally join inward vessels outside the end of the environmental breakwater and will pass a towline to the vessel or just escort depending on instruction from the pilot. The second tug, when required will join vessel and pass a towline after the vessel has passed the end of the environmental breakwater.

Departing vessels will generally let go both of their tugs once the vessel has lined up and the pilot is satisfied with the manoeuvring of the vessel, for the approach/departure channel alongside the environmental breakwater.

Tugs must be ordered at least one hour before arrival or departure

11.5

13.2

LOADING / DISCHARGING PROCEDURES

Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT) is the operating company in the main container terminal. They will provide the procedures for loading and discharging. There are currently 6 Post-Panamax container cranes, manually controlled, on the terminal adjacent to a fully automated container yard.

EMAL (Emirates Aluminium) is the sole user and operates the bulk terminal on the environmental breakwater. It contains two vacuum ship unloaders that transfer coke and alumina (the primary raw materials for aluminium production) onto wharf belt conveyor system. Once on the conveyor, the material is transported 4.6 kilometres along the trestle bridge and causeway running from the wharf to the shore, before being delivered directly to the EMAL onsite Silo storage facility.

13.3

CLEANING PROCEDURES

It is strictly prohibited to pump out , discharge, or jettison in the vicinity any territorial, coastal and non-coastal waters any dirty ballast, slops, sludge’s, bilges, sewages, garbage, refuse or any sort of sea pollutants. Abu Dhabi police maintain constant maritime and helicopter patrols equipped with night surveillance facilities and infrared photography to insure non-violation of the above.

Offenders will be liable for full costs of cleaning operations in addition to heavy fines. The ports are equipped with reception facilities which must be utilized. Waste disposal arrangements for domestic garbage are compulsory.

VESSEL OPERATIONS

14.1

GENERAL

Most activities require the permission of the Harbour Master. Sometimes that can be given verbally through Port Control, but other activities require a written permit.

14.2

LOWERING BOATS AND RAFTS

Lowering boats and rafts to embarkation levels when appropriate for the purpose of testing or exercising drills will generally be permitted provided the vessel seeks agreement from Port Control before commencing any exercises. The ship’s agent can also seek permission in advance of arrival if necessary. Lowering boats to the water and moving around in the harbour will depend on the reason and what other activities are taking place. The ship’s agent should be consulted and ask to seek permission from the harbour master well in advance of the planned activity.

Without good reason, permission is likely to be refused.

14.3

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Any ‘hot work’ such as welding or burning, carried out on a vessel requires a hot work permit to be issued. This will involve the harbour master, the health and safety department and in the first instance the ship’s agent should seek advice from the Port Authority’s Licensing Manager on what procedures are necessary to seek consent.

If the work is to be carried out by a local contractor, the contractor will need to have a license issued by the port authority in order to work in a port. In such cases the contractor may be able to issue his own ‘hot work’ permit.

Generally, any contractor employed by an agent or a ship to undertake work in the port will hold a license to work in the port. The ship’s agent should also hold a licence issued by the port authority and Master’s can ask to inspect the licence. It is a breach of the port regulations for an agent to operate without a licence issued by the port authority.

14.4

UNDER WATER INSPECTION

At the present time, environment protection of the marine environment will preclude any activity which could release biological organisms or chemicals into the harbour waters. The environmental breakwater was constructed at a cost of $240m in order to protect the nearby Ras Ghanada reef. The Port Authority will continue to observe environmental policies which continue that protection so are unlikely to permit underwater cleaning activity. In extremis, and for vessel safety operational concerns it may issue a permit to allow selective cleaning of critical water intakes and discharges when the vessel is in the offshore anchorage at such times as uncollectable residue will have least impact on the reef.
