    3.1 Plannin g the MODU/ Barge Move Introd uction

    The movement and re- location of MODU/ Barges within the BSP concession area imposes acertain amount of risk on existing structures and sub- sea structures. It is important that allMODU/ Barge moves, more commonly known as Rig or Barge Moves, are well planned so as toensure that controls are in place to manage and reduce the risks to as low as reasonablypracticable.

    3.2 Notification to MoveFrom the Rolling Activity Plan (RAP) the drilling programmes are published has identified the nextlocation for the MODU/ Barge.

    Although a pre- determined time scale cannot be set as a minimum requirement for the planningand approval of anchor patterns, the Drilling/ Campaign Departments are requested to advisethe Marine Department as soon as possible of any changes to this programme.

    Normally, 2 weeks prior to the scheduled move date, the Marine Department will commencepreparations for MODU/ Barge moves, with the intention to conduct the Rig/ Barge Pre Movemeeting 1 week before this date.

    3.3 Seabed Surveys

    Preparations for planning a MODU move include the requirement for Seabed Surveys identifyingseabed obstructions, which may foul anchor wires/ rig s legs.

    The Marine and Drilling/ Campaign Departments request seabed surveys, which are conductedby the Topographical department, TSM/1. A lead Time of approximately 4 weeks is required by

    TSM for the Debris Survey.

    When required, soil boring surveys are conducted by SEN (Structure/ Civil Engineering), forwarding theinformation to TSM and TSW for the placement of Jack ups.

    Information obtained from the seabed survey will include:

    1. Bathometry and Seabed Profiles

    2. Presence of debris and other obstructions on or under the sea floor

    3. Composition of the seabed

    4. Shallow Geology

    4.1 MODU Barge Preparations

    For the MODU, the Barge Engineer is responsible to the Toolpusher for the marine operation onthe rig including stability, watertight integrity, lashing and securing of rigs equipment and thereadiness of mooring and towing equipment. For other MOU, The Barge Master is responsible forall of the above and reports to the BSP Company Supervisor (CSR).

    4.1.1 Back loading and Securi ng of Equipment

    Prior to the rig move, the MODU is responsible for ensuring that sufficient resources have beenrequested and nominated through STL to ensure the MODU is clear of materials and bulk cargoesin order to commence anchor-handling operations at the prescribed time.

    In the case of the other MOU, the contract holder will be responsible for the above.

    All equipment remaining on board the MODU/ MOU is required to be lashed and secured priorto lifting, anchor- handling or towing operation.

    4.1.2 Stability Calculations

    Stability of the MODU is the responsibility of the Drilling Contractors Toolpusher, who inconjunction with the Barge Engineer will check and ensure the stability criteria of the MODU, isin accordance with the operational recommendations for that particular unit.

    The MODU is required to have available stability calculations that demonstrate that the stabilitywill remain satisfactory during the planned passage, under fair as well as severe weatherconditions. In addition to the sailing condition, stability calculations should consider the worst-case scenarios, which may occur towards the end of a prolonged job. Print outs of these conditionsare to be displayed throughout the operation and reviewed as soon as there is any event whichmay change the MODUs condition.

    Any criteria in the stability Booklet must be adhered to.

    Consideration must be given to the reduction in stability as a result of the free surface effect ofpartially filled tanks. Whenever possible, tanks must be either completely full or empty.

    The Tow Master is to be advised of the proposed draft and trim for the intended passage.

    Careful attention must be given to maintaining the watertight integrity and seaworthinessthroughout the passage, in particular when the MODU has a small freeboard.

    On jack- up drilling rigs, where the legs are raised and the rig is under tow, caution must exercisedthat the movement of the rig in a seaway does not exceed the operational limits for that rig. Inthe case of other MOU, the Barge Master and Tool Pusher/OIM are fully responsible for all of the

    4.3.1 Provision for Clear Decks and Suitable Stability Criteria

    STL/11 shall inform the Master of the AHT that his vessel is scheduled for a particular rig move,which require the vessel to conduct anchor handling and possibly towing operations.

    With respect for ensuring the AHT has clear decks and a suitable draft and trim for anchorhandling and towing operations, the Master is required to advise STL at the earliest opportunityhis logistical requirements.

    To achieve the correct draft and trim for anchor handling and towing operations, requests todischarge bulk cargoes (e.g. drilling mud) and or take on additional water and or fuel are to besent directly to STL. Consideration must be given to the reduction of stability and deck edge

    immersion when towing and anchor handling with low freeboard.In addition to the sailing condition, stability calculations should consider the worst casescenarios, which may occur towards the end of a prolonged job. Print outs of these conditions areto be displayed throughout the operation and reviewed as soon as there is any event which maychange the vessels condition.

    Any criteria in the stability Booklet must be adhered to.

    4.3.2 Provision for Anchor Handling Equipment

    Master of the AHT is responsible for ensuring that the vessels anchor handling equipment isoperational and ready for use.

    Prior to the pre rig move inspection and briefing by the Tow Master, the Master of the AHT is

    required to inspect and function check all the anchor handling equipment, including theemergency release functions of stoppers and tow/ guide pins. The correct size of inserts- ifapplicable is available- Karm Fork type stoppers. To assist Masters, the pre rig move Tow Master/

    Tug Master inspection checklist is included in Appendix 6.2.

    4.3.3 Bollard Pull

    Master to ensure that the vessels bollard pull is adequate for the proposed job. In considering thisMasters should be aware that bollard pull, as measured from the vessels certificates in some cases donot allow for the power used by working deck machinery. Allowance for any reduction should bemade when considering bollard pull available during the job.

    Maximum bollard pull is achieved with the cable right astern, rudders amidships and a furtherreduction in bollard pull must be allowed for should the angle of the cable lead other than rightastern.

    5.1 Anchor Handling Operations General

    Handling rigs anchors at sea can be a particularly hazardous and arduous task. No formal hardand fast rules and procedures can be laid down for anchor handling/ towing operations, as somany variable factors apply. Offshore personnel should be aware of the operational limitationsof the various vessels utilised, including their power and freeboard, bearing in mind that the safetyof the vessels crew is of paramount importance.

    All vessels and MODU/ MOU are required when underway to ensure its own anchors are secured

    in the hawse pipes or on the anchor racks- with double securing arrangement; use of brake aloneand guillotine bars (unless locking points are in) are not considered as meeting such requirement,especially where its passage crosses pipelines or other underwater structure.

    5.2 Anchor Handling Operations AHT

    5.2.1 Crew Briefings

    Prior to the commencement of any anchor handling operations, the Master is to conduct a crewbriefing, tool box talk. Discussing the sequence of operations, hazards and controls identified,crew duties, their experience and the requirement to wear full PPE, including approved buoyancyaids with self-activating lights and reflective tapes.

    The risk assessment is to be sued as a prompt when discussing hazards in the operations.

    5.2.2 General Precaution on Anchor Handling Operations

    1. Care must be taken when opening up wire coils, in particular pennant wires, as injuries haveoccurred by the springing open of the coils following release of the securing bands;

    2. As with the securing of normal cargo, all equipment used in anchor handling operations shallbe secured until required;

    3. When running anchors, the anchor- Master of handling tugs must be advised where theinstallation winches have payout limitations so that speed can be controlled. Effectivecommunication must be established between the Master and the winch driver;

    4. A set of cutting gear shall be readily available. Personal involved in deck operations must befamiliar with the emergency release of mechanical locking devices, such as towing guide pinsand wire stoppers.

    5. Where vessels are engaged in towing operations, a method to prevent the towline chafingshall be adopted.

    Centered

    Every effort must be made to run anchors under some tension and in a straight line to reduce thelikelihood of bights forming on the seabed and reducing the cantenary of anchor wires, especiallyacross pipelines. When re- positioning an anchor, the anchor cable should be heaved in farenough before re- running to prevent the forming of a bight which might foul on underwaterstructure/ obstructions.

    The anchor retrieval and deployment checklist (See attached appendix 6.2) must be filled for everymove, as this addresses the following:

    1. General sequence of deployment and retrieval

    2. Identification of critical pipelines and subsea cables as well as underwater obstructions

    3. Retrieval and deployment of anchors in the static mode in order to protect the above saidcritical pipelines and subsea cables

    4. Movement of the barge over these areas to prevent the anchor wires from touching thesaid pipelines, cables or obstructions

    5. Deployment or Retrieval of anchor wires under a stated tension.

    6. Requirement of the installation of parachute buoys

    5.2.4 Communication

    Effective communications between the Master, the installation staff and the deck crew are vitalfor safety. For this reason, adequate numbers of key personnel must be proficient in the English

    language. An effective radio communication link on a nominated channel shall be maintained atall times whilst the vessel is engaged in anchor handling and/ or towing operations.

    The Master of a vessel engaged in anchor handling/ towing operations must be notified of anyexpected helicopter movements to or from the installation during such operations.

    Regular Navigation warnings on the anchor handling operations shall be promulgated by the MOUto warn other vessels in the areas. The Tow Master shall instigate this.

    5.2.5 Position Fixing Before Laying Anchors

    Standard marine radar equipment/ navigation equipment (such as GPS) is considered unsuitableto determine the position of a vessel with sufficient accuracy to lay an anchor in close proximityto underwater structures.

    Masters shall therefore never attempt to anchor within a distance of 1 nautical mile from apipeline or other seabed structure using radar/ GPS alone. Readings from a high precisionposition fixing system (such as DGPS approved by BSP for this purpose) are required to put ananchor within 500 metres from a pipeline.

    The Marine Department will lay down demarcation conditions as part o f the anchor pattern

    See Appendix 6.3Retrieval/ Deployment Checklist for retrieving/ running of anchor Wires.

    5.2.7 Anchors close to Pipelines and other Structures

    When it is suspected (for whatever reason) that an anchor is within 100 metres of a pipeline orother underwater structure, the true position of this anchor must bedetermined and verified.

    Where an anchor or cable is thought to have fouled on any underwater structure any furtheroperations must be suspended, and no weight put on the anchor cable, informing SMR/2 or DutyMarine Captain and the Controlling Authority, SOS for the area. If required, the anchor cable tobe slipped and buoy off for later recovery.

    The Marine Department will arrange for a diving inspection or side scan sonar to determine revealthe exact position/ location and the reason for fouling.

    ALL OPERATIONS MUST REMAIN SUSPENDED UNTIL THE MARI NE

    DEPARTMENT HA S BEEN CONSULTED.

    Further action will depend on the result of the investigation, with direct consultation between allinvolved departments.

    5.2.8 Handling Anchors duri ng Darkness

    Handling anchors and moving in and out during darkness is restricted, especially in the vicinityof offshore installations and pipelines. The Marine Department provides guidance to theEmploying Department as part of the anchor pattern plan approval, which shall be discussedduring the onshore and offshore pre rig move meetings. This procedure is clearly laid out in theRig Move MOPO- Please See Rig Move MOPO on Appendix 6.9.

    5.3.3 Restrictions of Vessels Movements

    During anchor handling operations, all other vessels not involved in the operations are to keepclear of the vicinity of the MOU anchor patterns. This may also include access to the adjacentplatforms where anchor wires are deployed close by. Any vessel intending to operate close by tothe MODU or the adjacent platforms are to seek permission from the Tow Master or designatedperson in charge of the MOU move.

    5.3.4 Integrity of Mooring Systems

    The Master of a vessel or similarly, the responsible person on the MOU who suspects the integrityof the mooring system or observes any other abnormal condition, must immediately notify theSenior Operations Supervisor responsible for an offshore installation as well as the MarineDepartment, and take immediate remedial action.

    Anchor wires especially those that are to be used for towing in field tows and across pipelines,must be checked and confirmed clear of debris. This to be achieved by shortening up on the wireconcerned and subsequently tensioning it to clear the water for a visual inspection. Previousincident involving towing with anchor wire, which was fouled in the seabed and subsequentlycaused several pipelines to be displaced.

    An anchor-handling vessel with a mooring chain locker must use such a locker when workingwith rig moorings, which consist of chain.

    5.3.5 Anchor Bouy/ Tug Wire Terminations

    Anchor wires, pennant wires to buoys and piggyback anchors, tug work and towing wires andwires used for the anchoring of LCT buoys shall be fitted with sockets of the respective size. Theuse of bulldog grips for the above is not acceptable.

    5.4 Mooring Tensions

    All vessels must maintain a monitoring system on their moorings, which is to include a record oftensions and wire lengths. This can be achieved by either an automated process which logsinformation automatically and includes both high and low tensions alarms and/ or a manuallyrecorded check which is kept for reference and assists in establishing routine monitoring by vesselstaff.

    5.4.1 Range Of Normal Working TensionsThe Marine Department will provide guidance on the minimum and maximum working tensions,which must be observed when a vessel or mobile offshore unit is moored according to an anchorpattern plan. This can also be determined from the MOUs Marine Operations Manual on board.

    5.4.3 Maximum Permissible Working Tensions

    For working conditions, the maximum permissible tension of a mooring wire may never exceedone thirdof its certified breaking strain.

    When tension in any mooring wire reaches 80% of one third of the breaking strain or the provenpre- tension, whichever is less, preparations must start to enable a rapid suspension of operationsand a move to the designated stand off position, or departure from the location, when tensionswould pass the permissible maximum.

    5.4.4 Adverse Weather Actions

    During periods of severe weather, a mobile offshore unit is not allowed to come alongside or nearan offshore installation and must remain well outside an oilfield safety zone, down weather andclear from areas with pipelines.

    When severe weather conditions develop while already working alongside or near an offshoreinstallation, then the mobile offshore unit must move into the designated standoff position. Thedecision to pull off to the stand off position lies with the Barge Engineer who would have discussedthis the Toolpusher and the BSP Drilling Supervisor.

    The Marine Department and the Senior Operations Supervisor responsible for the installation areto be notified should such a decision be reached.

    When tug assistance is thought necessary because of deteriorating weather conditions then sucha request must be made early and without delay to avoid operations under already marginal

    conditions.When the Master of a vessel or a similarly responsible person on a mobile offshore unit decidesin an emergency to slip a mooring cable into the sea, every effort must be made to buoy off thecable before slipping and to fix the position of the vessel or unit in order to aid future recovery.

    Debris left behind on the seabed may create a serious hazard to future operations. The loss ofanchors, wires and chains must be reported to the Marine Department so that this informationcan be put on record and corrective action taken.

    5.5 Handling of Anchor Wires by GP Boats

    This section provides details on the process and checks to be followed when handling Barge orMOU anchor wires by the GP boats crew to run the anchor wires underneath bridges of platforms.

    This is intended for master and crew of GP boat who will carry out the task. General Supervisionof the task shall be carried out by the SMR Tow master.

    Prior to departing location the GP Launch Master shall inspect and test if required the necessarygears required for the Rig move operation. He shall rectify any defective gear before leaving forthe Barge or MODU move operation.

    5.6 Shallow Water Anchor Handling

    5.6.1 General

    Due to the high risk of serious damage or complete vessel loss, the minimum under keel clearancehas been redefined when operating in shallow water, near pipelines, obstructions, anchorhandling or self-laying anchors.

    5.6.2 Under Keel Clearance

    The under keel clearance of any vessel must at all times be at least:

    1 metre + height of obstruction*(1) + maximum range of vessel movement*(2)

    *(1)In the case of anchors, the height of is the maximum height when laying on the seabed withno allowance for penetration.

    *(2)The maximum range of vessel movement is the combined worst-case movement of both pitchand roll.

    5.6.3 Determini ng Maximum Rise and Fall of the Vessel at any Part

    The method for determining a value for the maximum range of vessel movement for the vessel is:-

    1. Measure the maximum pitch of vessel on each heading and from that, calculate the rise andfall at the bow or stern.

    2. Measure the maximum roll of vessel on each heading and from that; calculate the rise andfall of the outboard edge of the vessel.

    5.6.5 Other Considerations

    Water tight doors, especially those leading into the steering flat, engine room, bow Thrustercompartment etc must be securely closed at all times. This should be standard procedure for alloffshore operations. (Ventilation is not a valid reason for keeping doors open.)

    1.The engine room must be manned and bilge alarms tested.

    2. Vessel trim and maximum draft must be known and allowed for.

    3.The echo sounder is to be functioning correctly with alarms set. A depth of 1- 2 metres abovethe predetermined minimum depth is recommended. Ensure corrections for draft are not set.

    4. Allowance must be made for set and drift that may set the vessel into shallower water, overthe obstruction, anchor, or cause the vessel to overrun the anchor buoy.

    5. Allowance is to be made for a falling tide. The minimum under keel clearance must beavailable throughout the whole operation.

    6.The most up to date survey chart must be available on board; special consideration must bemade for the location of spoils (from dredging material) when working with a dredger that mayrender the survey information incorrect.

    5.6.6 Actions to be taken in the Event of Touching Bottom

    In event of touching bottom the Master in addition to the operator s emergency procedures:

    1. Immediately activate the red button on the Remote positioning system fitted onboard. Notethat this does not activate a distress message. It only records the position of the vessel inBSP Geomatics office.

    2. Contact the Duty Marine Captain. (SMR/2X)

    3. Keep accurate records of the incident as it develops.

    4. Issue an incident report to the contract holder, copied to SMR.

    Note that excessive use of engines and rudders very often causes further damage.

    If at any time or for any reason, the master considers it necessary to increase the minimum underkeel clearance, or stop operations completely, he has the overriding authority to do so and willalways receive the support of SMR when making this decision.

    At no time is the master to be pressurised to undertake jobs that he does not consider safe. If hefeels this is the case, he is to contact the duty SMR.

    5.7 Deep Water Anchor Handling Operations

    Recently rigs are moving into deeper water. Around 1200 meters and the weights involved withthe anchoring are much higher. A rig with chain/wire combination mooring is used, usingtypically 1900meters of 96mm wire, 950metres of 83mm chain and an extension of 950meters of77mm chain, then an 18Tonne Bruce FFTS Anchor. This gives an equipment weight of 368 tonnesbefore tensioning, split between anchor handler and rig.

    The vessel must not connect the anchor/towing gear directly to her winch unless she can handlethe load/force/tension and dynamic conditions alone, based on her permissible capacityaccording to the stability and load calculations.

    Prior to commencing deep-water anchor handling operations, the following shall be taken intoconsiderations in addition to the above anchor handling procedures:

    1. Risk assessments that include Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), Hazard and Operatability(HAZOP) Studies, Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and detailed site specific mooring analysis. ATraffic Light System jointly developed by Drilling/ Engineering/ Rig/ Marine experts totackle contingencies such as major riser and mooring failures;

    2. Pre- job safety meeting

    3.Toolbox talks

    4. Use of longer lengths of work/ chaser wire, to prevent damage to work/ chaser wire causedby joining shackles;

    5. Wires to be spooled under tension. Towing and anchor handling winches must be fitted withspooling device

    6. Winches to be of adequate strength and correct design (i.e., designed for wire rope/wirestorage)/ capacity to accommodate the type of size and length of wire spooled.

    7. Work/ chaser wire fitted with heavy-duty 200 MT SWL sealed swivels to avoid twisting damageand prevent potential injury to deck crew caused by the inherent high torsional loads duringdeep-water anchor handling operation.

    8. Use of chain connecting links to prevent the ferrule being engaged in the mechanical stoppersor use of steel ferrules, certified for use in mechanical stoppers

    9. Use of pigtails on buoys so that they can be launched under tension and avoid shock loaddamage.

    10. On modern vessels, arrangements exist to ensure that approximately 75% engagement ofcable on relevant gypsy and adequate power is available. On other vessels, when deployingchain from a locker in deep water the chain shall be led from the gypsy as normal, then passeddown the deck around one or more towing pins to give a lead back up the deck to the oppositegypsy. The chain shall then be passed under and over the gypsy to lead back down the deck
