DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

1.1

Life Cycle Approach


The detailed design shall strive towards providing the Owner with the most
economic solutions from a life-cycle cost approach, including not only initial
investment (CAPEX) but also operational and maintenance costs (OPEX).

1.2

International Engineering Standard


The design work shall strive towards providing the Owner with solutions that
align with international design, engineering, fabrication, construction,
inspection, testing and commissioning standards and ensure that future port
operations will be up to international standard.

1.3

Reference Design
The main purpose of the Reference Design is to provide a general
impression of the required facilities to the bidders. It is emphasised that the
contractor may propose variants and alternative designs. The Contractor
shall take over full design responsibility and shall verify, update, revise and
detail the design. Any flaws, shortcomings and discrepancies in the
Reference Design shall not release the Contractor from these obligations and
shall not lead to claims.
The design shall cover all the Owners Requirements as set in the Bid
Documents, in order to provide a fully operational harbour and shall be in
accordance with the design codes, standards and regulations including all
applicable Health, Safety, Security and Environmental (HSSE) regulations.

1.4

Operability
The layout of the harbour and the marine facilities is designed to ensure safe
and economic marine operations and to minimise downtime taking into
account the preferences of the Owner, prevailing environmental conditions,
design vessel characteristics, operational requirements and HSSE
requirements specific to the oil and gas industry.
The layout of the harbour as well as the location of the facilities are firmly
defined by the Owners Consultant and may only be changed on a small level
as required by the final design and agreed with the Owners Consultant.
An assessment of the vessel downtime shall be carried out by the Contractor,
based on 3D physical model testing of wave penetration within the harbour
and vessel behaviour at each of the Berths.

SITE LOCATION

1.1

Site location
The ARC is located approximately 50 km to the West of Tripoli. The ARC is
currently equipped with three offshore buoys (SBM1, CBM2 and SBM3)
which are connected to the shore by submerged pipelines. These pipelines
come together at the refinery tie-in point and from this tie-in point the
pipelines proceed further onto the refinery and tankage areas.
The future harbour area is located to the east of the existing CBM2 (point E)
and its pipelines (see Figure 1-1). The onshore area is bound to the west by
the existing pipelines from SBM1 and CBM2 to the tie-in point. The eastern
project boundary lies approximately 620m eastward of the current ARC
boundary fence (i.e. line C-D in Figure 1-1). The longitudinal distance
between Reference Point A and the eastern boundary is approximately
1700m. The onshore area extends to the south as far as the slope leading to
road no. 4 along the tank farm, a distance of approximately 240m.

Reference Point, coordinate system and datum

1.2.1

Reference Point
The location of the crossing of the pipelines to SBM1 and CBM2 is taken as
the Reference Point of the Site. This Reference Point is also called Location
A or Reference Point A.
The coordinates of the Reference Point A, as given exactly in official ARC
drawings, are given with respect to the National Grid Coordinates:
(XA ; YA) = (E 284,970.33; N 3,630,838.55)1

1.2.2

Coordinate system
The National Grid Coordinates shall be used by the Contractor. The
Contractor shall also use the National Grid Coordinates when producing
detailed drawings and for setting out the Works.
The above National Grid Coordinates are not the same as the internationally
used Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Coordinates. UTM coordinates
can be converted to geographic coordinates. A conversion between the
National Grid Coordinates and the UTM/geographic coordinates shall be
established by the SI Contractor. These results shall be made available to
the Contractor during the Bid Period in a Addendum.

1.2.3

Vertical reference level


The vertical reference level used on the Project shall be Chart Datum (CD).
The Chart Datum is approximately equal to the level of Lowest Astronomical
Tide (refer to Admiralty Chart no. 3403; December 2005).
All levels shall be provided relative to this reference level.

reference to X and Y coordinates are similar to Easting and Northing


coordinates in the Owners Requirements and via versa.

The existing port facilities serve the throughput of products for not only the
ARC but also for the Brega Petroleum Marketing Company (BMC) and the
Repsol Oil Operations Company (ROO), which are located in the vicinity of
the ARC. In Figure 2-1 the export and import via the existing offshore buoys
to the three companies is illustrated. In Figure 2-2 the export and import flows
in the future harbour, as proposed by ARC, is illustrated.

2.2

Port Development Phases I and II


In the design and construction of the harbour and port facilities different
development phases are to be considered.
In Port Development Phase I of the future harbour, the existing throughput
capacities (see column existing situation in Table 2-1) shall be
accommodated.
In conjunction with the Port Development Phases, the Owner has plans for a
Refinery Revamp Project at some time in the future. It is envisaged that the
Refinery Revamp Project will be to upgrade, renovate and expand the
refinery and its operations. The Refinery Revamp Project will be divided into
two stages, in which the following changes are expected:

The product throughput capacities shall change (increase and


decrease);
The type of products to be handled shall change;
Some cargo flows will change from import to export and vice versa;
Additional port services are envisaged to be implemented (such as
ballast water treatment and bunkering).

Port Development Phase II will be required to incorporate both stages of the


Refinery Revamp Project. During Port Development Phase II, all required
facilities are to be provided for in the new port, either physically present or by
reservation of required space for future utilisation. An illustration of the Port
Development Phases is included in Figure 2-3.

Types of products and throughput capacities


For Port Development Phase I and II (the latter including Refinery Revamp I
and II), the type of products to be exported and/or imported and their
throughput capacities are listed in Table 2-1.
It is noted that this table reflects the projected transports as indicated by the
Owner, which provides insight in the operational plans the Owner has.
However, the Contractors final design should be flexible enough for all
products to be both imported and/or exported in case future product
transports are different from the type of product transports indicated in Table
2-1.

In addition to the import and export of the products indicated in Table 2-1,
another product transport to be considered is ballast water, which is planned
in Port Development Phase II.
This throughput can be either import or export depending on the loading or
unloading of vessels at the berths. Other required pipelines are detailed in
paragraph 12.4.2 and 12.4.3.

HYDROGRAPHIC AND METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

3.1

General
The following sections only provide a summary of the hydrographical and
meteorological conditions as determined for the Project. For the detailed
design, further detailed information shall be obtained from reports and agreed
with the Engineer as indicated in each of the relevant section following.

3.2

Conventions and definitions


All parameters have units in accordance with the international SI conventions
except where explicitly stated.
The wind, wave and current directions are given according to the nautical
convention. For wind and waves they refer to the direction in degrees from
which they are coming, measured clockwise with respect to true North. For
currents they refer to the direction in degrees to which the current flows,
measured clockwise with respect to true North.

3.3

Wind conditions
As well as being required for the calculation of wind loads on all structures,
the wind conditions are of interest for the wave propagation from offshore to
nearshore locations.
The probabilities of occurrence of wind speed per directional sector are
presented in Table 3-1. The mean hourly wind speed at a height of 10m (U10)
is considered. The corresponding wind rose is presented in Figure 3-1.

Wave conditions outside the harbour


The offshore wave conditions are used as input for the wave propagation to
nearshore locations. Normal wave conditions have a return period of up to 1
year whereas extreme wave conditions have a return period larger than 1
year.

3.4.1

Normal wave conditions


Offshore wave conditions
The coastline at ARC has a general east-west orientation. At the offshore
location the waves from all directions have been considered. The applied
directional sectors have a range of 22.5.
The probability of occurrence of offshore wave heights is presented in a wave
rose in Figure 3-2. .

Nearshore wave conditions


The nearshore wave conditions have been determined with the use of the
computer programmes SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) and
HYDROBASE TRANS. The nearshore wave conditions are assessed at 6
nearshore output locations.
Due to the pattern of the depth contours near the coastline, output locations
L1 to L5 lie on one line perpendicular to the coast, aligned with Reference
Point A. The final output location, L6, lies at about the same depth as location
L3 but at a longitudinal distance of 1000 m from L3. The output locations
(including the modelled bathymetry) are shown in Figure 3-3. The
coordinates and depth of the output locations are presented in Table 3-2.

The following offshore wave conditions were simulated in the assessment of


the nearshore wave conditions:

Wave height Hm0 = 0.75, 1.75, 2.75, 3.75, 4.75, 5.75 and 8.5 m;
Wave steepness s = (Hm0/(1.56*Tp2) = 0.01, 0.025, 0.04;
Wave direction = 15, 45, 105, 255, 285, 315 and 345 N.

The nearshore wave climate is presented in joint probability tables and in the
following wave roses for output locations L1 to L6 (Figures 3.4 to 3.9).
Very little difference in wave conditions was observed at the output locations
L3 and L6, due to the pattern of the depth contours along the coast.

Wave conditions inside the harbour

3.5.1

General
Waves near the entrance of the harbour will penetrate into the port areas
around the breakwater heads. This induces dissipation of wave energy and
hence smaller wave conditions inside the harbour.

Port Development Phase I


During Port Development Phase I only the first part of the main breakwater
and Berth 4 are constructed, along with all the required facilities to make
Berth 4 operational. As a result of this, Berth 4 is temporarily exposed to
greater waves than when the harbour is fully constructed (i.e. during removal
of CBM2 and while Port Development Phase II is starting).
At the temporary head of the main breakwater, during removal of CBM2 and
the initial Works for Port Development Phase II, the bottom level is
approximately 19m CD. The 1/10 year wave height (Hs,i) at this depth is
determined from Table 3-5 and Table 3-6. If the situation arises and wave
diffraction (due to the temporary breakwater head) occurs within the harbour,
the method of Goda shall be used to assess the wave diffraction coefficient
(KD).
The 1/10 year wave conditions at Berth 4 (Hs,4 and Tm-1,0) are presented in
Table 3-11.

Seiches / long waves


Seiches are long period standing waves, which can occur in closed
(resonance sensitive) basins. The Mediterranean Sea is almost an enclosed
basin and seiches may occur.
In the area between the coast of Sicily and the coast near Tripoli, long waves
(or seiches) have been recorded in the past. The period of these long waves
can vary between 10 40 minutes. These long waves are also known as
Marrobbio and may raise the sea level by 0.6 to 0.9 m.

3.7

Water levels
Astronomical tide
The reference level is Chart Datum, which shall for the purposes of design
and construction be equivalent to the Lowest Astronomical Tide. The water
levels for the Harbour are as follows:

Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT)


Mean High Water Spring (MHWS)
Mean High Water Neap (MHWN)
Mean Sea Level (MSL)
Mean Low Water Neap (MLWN)
Mean Low Water Spring (MLWS)
Lowest Astronomical tide (LAT)

= CD + 0.5 m
= CD + 0.4 m
= CD + 0.3 m
= CD + 0.2 m
= CD + 0.1 m
= CD + 0.0 m

Storm surge
The maximum and minimum storm surge during the design storm are 0.9m
and 0.3m respectively, with a return period of 100 years.
Seasonal variation
The average seasonal drop in water level, during the winter months, shall be
taken as 0.2m.

Sea level rise


The Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) predicts a sea level
rise of about 0.6 m over the next century. For this Project, a sea level rise of
0.3m for the 50 year design life shall be adopted.
Maximum and minimum design water level
For the maximum design water level, the following shall be considered:

The extreme wave conditions (from NW to N) can occur at any phase


of the astronomical tide ranging from MHWS to MLWS. Extreme wave
conditions occurring at Highest Astronomical Tide and Lowest
Astronomical Tide is expected to have a very low joint probability and
need not be considered in the design;

The most extreme wave conditions (from NW to N) occur during the


winter months when there is a seasonal water level drop of 0.2 m;

Extreme wave conditions are caused by storms coming from a


direction ranging from Northwest to North. It is thus expected that a
combination of extreme wave heights and extreme storm surge is
highly probable.

This results of the maximum and minimum design water level to be applied
for the design of the marine structures are presented in Table 3-12.

Current conditions
At Azzawiya, the differences in tidal levels are small and the tidal currents are
slow. The predominant current direction is East-West or West-East currents
ebb and flow. For the purposes of design the maximum current velocity shall
be taken as 0.25 m/s and current velocities inside the harbour are deemed to
be negligible.

Sea temperature, salinity and density


The average sea temperature near Azzawiya ranges from a minimum of
15C (in February) to a maximum of to 26.5 C (in August).
On average the evaporation in the Mediterranean region exceeds the rainfall
and river runoff. This causes the Mediterranean Sea to have a relatively high
salinity. Near Libya the seawater salinity is approximately 38-39 . This
results in a seawater density of 1030 kg/m3.

This section summarises the geotechnical interpretative report with regard to
the geology, topography, bathymetry, soil profiles and soil characteristics.
The report was made available by the Owner to his Consultant prior to the
Reference Design stage of the project. It is included for information only and
should not be relied upon for the Contractors design submissions. Additional
and extensive Site Investigations at the project location will be performed and
the results will be submitted to the Contractors with the other EPC Bid
Documents or during the Bid Period. Any changes on the Reference Design
following from these new Site Investigation results are not incorporated in the
Reference Design of the Azzawiya Oil Harbour They shall form part of the
Contractors Bid Submissions and the EPC Contract.
It shall be noted, by the Contractor, that the existing available information,
discussed above, regarding geology, topography, bathymetry, soil profiles
and soil characteristics is very limited and all available information is NOT
obtained from the project location itself. Most information is taken from the
old harbour location some kilometres to the west and taken along the
pipelines to CBM2.
Any interpretation and successive design results shall therefore only be
considered as illustrative. It shall be recognized that the future Site
Investigations will very likely result in deviating information and other design
results. Therefore the contractor shall revise, update and optimise the design
during the Bid Period and in any subsequent design stages, taking into
account any new results of site investigations (whether provided during the
Bid Period and/or obtained by the Contractor). This includes amongst others:
- Update of the soil factor for seismic design
- Liquefaction analysis

4.2

Geology of the region for information only


The refinery is located on the north coast of the Jiffarah Plain, which is a
roughly triangular region bounded by the sea to the north and a prominent
Mesozoic limestone and sandstone escarpment, Jabal Nafusah, to the south.
From the coast the plain rises gently southwards to approximately 250m
above the sea level at the base of the escarpment, which rises steeply to a
height of approximately 600m above sea level.
The coastal zone is characterised by Aeolian calcarenites and calcareous
sandstones with lenses of littoral sand, often containing shells, forming the
Gargaresh Formation. These dune deposits are generally well indurate and
tend to form low cliffs, although locally marine and fluvial erosion have cut
into softer, poorly cemented deposits of the medial zone.
The coastal zone can further be characterised as follows:

Holocene deposits overlying the Gargaresh Formation:


- The on-land deposits cover the small narrow area between the
refinery and the shoreline. These deposits are Aeolian in origin and
comprise of silts and sands, principally beach sand with some shell
and coral fragments;
- The off-shore deposits which make up the sea bed consist of
moderately dense to dense calcareous sand and areas with
organic sandy clay, claying sand and some organic material;
Gargaresh Formation (Pleistocene) overlying the Jiffarah Formation:
- The Gargaresh Formation is characterised by two faces: dune
bedded very weak to moderately strong calcareous sandstone and
calcarenites and shelly conglomerates with sands. The upper zone
is weathered, while below the weathered zone numerous solution
pipes and cavities are encountered;
Jiffarah Formation (Pleistocene):
- The Jiffarah Formation consists mainly of fine sand and silt.

Topography and onshore soil profile for information only


Two areas of the onshore project area have been topographically surveyed in
the past. These surveys only cover approximately 50% of the onshore project
area. These topographic surveys were conducted in 1993 and 2000 each
time by a different company.
The entire onshore project area shall be topographically surveyed to obtain
consistent data and to avoid possible anomalies with past surveys. The
topographic survey results are provided to the Contractor in a Bid Addendum.
In general the topography of the onshore project area is irregular. The
shoreline consists mostly of sea cliffs with occasional small beaches. The
sea cliffs range from approximately 1m to 8m in height, above MSL. At the
southern boundary of the onshore area, north of the tank farm, the land level
is approximately 14m above MSL.
From a distance of about 223m to 240m south of Reference Point A a slope
is present to the existing tank farm at a land level of approximately 21 m
above MSL.
The topography as used for the Reference Design is presented in Figure 4-2.

From the available data it is concluded that the upper layer comprises a sand
layer of between 0.4m and 0.6m in depth. However, in BH 4 a 1.2m thick
layer of sand is noted. It is believed that this area has been filled by previous
works to this additional depth to raise the finished level. Then, there is a
sandstone layer with a thickness ranging from 20.0 to 25.0m. This is followed
by a sand layer with a thickness ranging from 1.5 to 3.0m. In the results from
BH 1 and BH3 it can be seen that a sandstone layer of between 0.8m and
3.5m is present. Below the base of the boreholes it is assumed that sand
belonging to the Jiffarah Formation is present as was encountered at the
offshore borehole locations (see details in Clause 4.4 below).

4.4

Bathymetry and cross sectional seabed profile for information

4.4.1

General
Bathymetric information is available for the proposed location of the
Azzawiya Oil Harbour Project and the area north of the small craft harbour,
as both areas have been surveyed in the past. However, it is considered that
the details provided are of insufficient reliability or have areas of incomplete
data.
At the actual shore line a modest vertical drop may be present (cliffs) of
approximately 1 to 8m, as detailed in the previous topographical surveys.
Along the east-west coastline, it can be seen that a fairly constant, gradually
sloping seabed of 1 is present from previous surveys and at about 1100 to
1200m offshore, a seabed level of approximately -20m CD is present, with
the depth contours running approximately parallel to the coast.
For an indication of the offshore soil profile, three sources are used:
1. Borehole logs (7) taken at the old harbour location, extending to a
level of approximately 40 metres below sea level, including results of
limited laboratory tests (sieve analysis, triaxial tests, Atterbergs limits);
2. Soil samples taken during the site visit in 2007 at 10 offshore
locations;
3. Two sea bottom profiles with trial pits extending over the upper few
meters, located along the pipelines to SBM1 and CBM2.
Item 1 above, gives a good estimation of the general composition of the
subsoil. This is detailed in Figure 4-3 and summarised in Table 4-2.

In general, the off shore subsoil consist of:

Holocene deposits consisting of sand layers and sandy clay layers;


Calcareous sandstone forming the Gargaresh Formation;
Silty sand forming the Jiffarah Formation.

As indicated in Figure 4-3, the Holocene deposits are of varying thickness up


to approximately15 m. The third source (soil profiles along the pipelines to
SBM1 and CBM2) however indicates a smaller sand layer with a thickness of
only a few metres, on top of soil which was described in the report as partially
cemented sand. This is now assumed to be the top side of the sandstone
layer.

The bathymetry / cross sectional profile at the old harbour location and the
seabed profiles along the pipelines to the buoys are combined into one
assumed / illustrative typical soil profile, which was used for the Reference
Design.
From the above, it is clear that this is only a very rough estimate, and as
indicated before, extensive Site Investigations on the proposed project
location are required to determine the actual bathymetry and soil profile.
The assumed bathymetry is presented in Figure 4-5. It shall be noted that
cliffs may be present along the shoreline and rocky outcrops / calcareous
sandstone protrusions may be present within the boundaries of the site.
Another important aspect is that the upper (Holocene) layer may in fact
consist of both sand and clay layers and may have a thickness which can
varies significantly from 0 to approximately 15 metres.

The soil characteristics presented here are based on previous site
investigations near the small craft harbour.
Holocene sand layer
The upper seabed layer (Holocene deposits) comprises of fine grained
medium dense to dense calcareous sand with shell fragments and caliche.
Medium dense to dense packed sand occurs closer to the shore while dense
packed sand occurs further offshore. Characteristics of the sand are
presented in Table 4-4.

Figure 4-7. Typical grading curves Holocene Sandy Clay layer

Pleistocene sandstone layer (Gargaresh Formation)


Below the Holocene deposits a layer of fine to coarse grained, moderately to
completely weathered, weak to moderately strong calcareous sandstone
exists (Gargaresh Formation). Moderately weak to moderately strong
sandstone occurs closer to the shore while weak sandstone occurs further
offshore. The calcareous sandstone tends to be yellowish brown to grey, fine
to medium grain stones comprising a large proportion of marine skeletal
fragments.
A weathered zone some 0.5 - 1.0 m thick can be seen at the surface of the
sandstones. Within this zone, the calcitic and aragonitic cement becomes
leached out producing a weak to very weak cemented sand.
Below the weathered zone numerous solution pipes and cavities (up to 1000
mm, generally in-filled with sand) are encountered throughout the deposit.

General
According to the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program, the northwest
coast of Libya is located in an area that is rated as a moderate hazard
region for seismic activity. The program was carried out by a number of
research institutes under the supervision of the United Nations. The objective
of the program was to evaluate the global risk to seismic activity.

Design earthquake conditions


The seismic design of all structures, including all mechanical and civil
equipment, shall be in accordance with the most recent update of Eurocode 8
(EN1998) and related documents.
The minimum requirements as presented in Table 4-8 shall be adopted.
Peak Ground For all structures a Peak Ground Acceleration ag = 0.13g ( = 0.13)
Acceleration shall be adopted, corresponding with a return period 475 years.
Soil Factor1)
Based on limited information, the subsoil may consist of a layer of
dense sand (N=22-91) overlying a small layer of sandstone of
several meters. Below the sandstone a layer of dense silt/sand
(N>50) seems to be present with an undefined thickness. In the
absence of more information regarding the subsoil, for the design of
all structures Soil Type C shall be adopted (ref. EN1998-1:2004 par.
3.1.2), described by: Deep deposits of dense or medium dense
sand, gravel or stiff clay with thickness of several tens to many
hundred of metres (SPT(N) = 15-50).

(ref. EN1998-1:2004 par. 3.2.1).


For all structures a Performance Grade S shall be adopted (ref.
PIANC-2001, working group 34), with no damage and no loss of
serviceability.

Notes:
1) The soil factor is determined based on very limited soil information obtained
several kilometres away from the site. The final choice of Soil Type, which shall
be applicable for the Bid Submissions and EPC Contract, shall be based on the
results of the new Site Investigations.
2) Type 1 spectrum is recommended for earthquakes with a surface-wave
magnitude MS greater than 5.5. Further study into the seismology of the region,
may result in lower magnitudes. In that case Type 2 spectrum could be adopted
for the design.
Table 4-8. Minimum design requirements regarding earthquake conditions

Seismic forces shall be calculated for each principal axis of the structure.
Seismic loads can act in multiple directions. When considering 100% of the
load in one direction, at least 40% shall be applied in both the other
directions (e.g. 100% in x-direction and >40% in both y-direction and zdirection) (Eurocode 8: Section 4.3.3.5.1).
Seismic forces shall be calculated for the full dead weight of the structure;
including the dead weight of any supported equipment. Only where
appropriate, 50% of the live load shall be applied for the seismic design (BS
6349-2: 1988).

4.6

Marine growth
The effects of marine growth on underwater structures shall be taken into
account. Based on CIRIA Underwater Engineering document Dynamics of
Marine Structures a minimum thickness of 100mm shall be assumed for all
permanent structures. The increased diameter of submerged structures due
to marine growth shall be taken into account in the calculation of loads.
The Mediterranean Sea has a low biomass per unit volume on average due
to low nutrient levels. However, it has high diversity (over 10,000 marine
species, of which 28% endemic). Seagrass meadows can occur along the
Libyan coast, however, they are not expected to be present at the coast near
Azzawiya.

GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA

5.1

Standards, codes and regulations


The design of the Azzawiya Oil Harbour Project, all the elements and
structures shall be based on the latest version of the British Standards or
alternatively the Eurocodes in combination with the British National Annexes,
where relevant. However, where applicable or as directed in the Bid
Documents, national Libyan codes and regulations and/or local ARC codes
and regulations shall be used for the design of the Azzawiya Oil Harbour
Project.
Where required other international guidelines and regulations may be
consulted for guidance.
A list of standards, codes, regulations and other guidelines is presented in
Appendix A of this Exhibit C1. It should not be considered as exhaustive but
will contain the design aids required for the majority of the Works.

5.2

Units
All units to be used in the Project shall be according to S.I. and thus metric.

5.3

Design life
The design life of the Azzawiya Oil Harbour is 50 years (as stated by the
Owner).
The design life of a structure or element is the assumed period for which a
structure or part of it is to be used for its intended purpose including
anticipated normal inspections and normal maintenance but without major
repair and/or rebuilding being necessary.
During the design lifetime, the safety and integrity of the structure or element
shall be fully in accordance with the applicable codes and standards.
According to British Standards, the following minimum required design life
per harbour structure or element shall be taken into account for the design:

Quay walls:
Open jetties:
Superstructure works:
Breakwaters and shore protection:
Buildings:

60 years;
45 years;
30 years;

Environmental conditions
The harbour and its elements or facilities shall be designed for extreme and
operational conditions as defined in this Section.

5.4.1

Extreme design conditions


In the Project the Extreme Design Event shall be defined as the most
onerous combination of environmental conditions up to:

5.4.2

1 in 100 year wave height;


1 in 100 year wind speed;
Maximum occurring current speed;
1 in 100 year maximum and minimum design water level;
Extreme seismic condition (Peak Ground Acceleration).

Operational design conditions


The larger vessels approaching the harbour will be assisted by tugs for safe
entry/exit and safe manoeuvring inside the harbour. The tugboats have
operational limits for fastening to approaching vessels outside or inside the
harbour. At berth the vessels have operating limits for berthing, (un)loading
and remaining at berth. These limiting conditions are exceeded for certain
times per year, resulting in downtime for the harbour and/or the berths.
Operating conditions for tugboats
Due to the size of tugboats and their specific function the operational
conditions for tugboats are presented in Table 5-1.

Table 5-2. Operational conditions for vessels

It is envisaged that the vessels should be able to remain moored at the


berths in any environmental condition and that only the manifold will be
disconnected, resulting in operations being temporarily ceased, causing
downtime. No maximum allowed downtime percentage is stated by the
Owner, but the design shall strive towards a minimum amount of downtime.
A more detailed assessment of the downtime shall be part of the 3-D physical
model testing of the berths to be carried out by the Contractor.

23 June 2009

The breakwater will not provide the foundation for a pipe rack and the
presence of personnel on the breakwater in a 1/100 year storm is considered
highly unlikely. Hence, the maximum acceptable wave overtopping volume
used in the design of the breakwaters shall be 10 l/s/m (0.01 m3/s/m) for the
extreme 1/100 year conditions.
For operational (annual) conditions the maximum acceptable wave
overtopping volume shall be 0.1 l/s/m.
Harbour revetment
The harbour revetment / dissipating beach structure is located along the
shoreline in the harbour. Directly behind the harbour revetment, access roads
and pipelines may be present. Although cars and people are not expected to
be using the revetment area, the maximum acceptable wave overtopping
volume at the harbour revetment shall be 1 l/s/m.

7.3

Hydrographical conditions
The hydrographical conditions applicable for the breakwater design are as
detailed in Section 3 of this document.

7.4

Design approach and criteria

7.4.1

Design approach
The design shall comprise rubble mound breakwaters, including quarry rock
as much as possible. The armour layer may comprise double or single layer
concrete units. In the Reference Design the concrete unit Accropode was
selected, refer to Exhibit C2 Technical Specifications, but the Contractor
may come up with alternatives.
The harbour revetment shall have a rock armour layer of quarry rock where
possible. The Contractor shall ensure that the stability of the harbour
revetment is adequate and shall provide full details with their Bid Submission,
including but not limited to gradings, thicknesses and gradients.
The design of the breakwaters and revetments can be summarised as the
following items/processes:

Armour layer design;


Crest width and height design;
Under layer and core design;
Toe / Berm design (including Geotextile below the structure);
Seawall design;
Geotechnical stability check;

7.4.2

Slope stability;
Settlement sensitivity
Seismic design (check for liquefaction).

Armour layer stability criteria


The armour layer units shall be designed according The Rock Manual. The
stability of armour rock and armour units depends on the allowed damage
level, which shall be determined by the Contractor in his detailed design and
included in his Bid Submission.

7.4.3

Crest width and height based on overtopping assessment


The breakwater width and height shall comply with the maximum overtopping
volumes as per Section 7.2. The overtopping assessment used in the for the
Reference Design was based on The Rock Manual and Design Overtopping
of Seawalls Design and Assessment Manual; by HR Wallingford Ltd R&D

at the breakwater heads is based on the recommendations by Sogreah [see
www.sogreah.fr.

7.4.4

Under layer and breakwater core design


Under layer(s)
The weight of quarry rock in under layers below the concrete armour units
shall be in accordance with the following (reference is made to The Rock
Manual)

The median mass (M50) of the under layer quarry rock be


approximately equal to but no less than 10% of the armour unit mass;

The minimum and maximum mass of the under layer quarry rock shall
be between 7% and 14% of the armour unit mass;

Any other filter- or under layers (e.g. extra filter layer under the breakwater
toe) shall be in accordance with the granular filter rules of Terzaghi
(reference is made to The Rock Manual).
Breakwater core
The breakwater core shall consist of quarry run having an estimated grading
of 1kg to 500 kg, with a median mass in the range of 20 100 kg. The
breakwater core material shall comply with the filter rules as presented
above.

7.4.5

Toe and berm design


Toe and berm design shall be in accordance with The Rock Manual. The
stability of toe and berm units/material depends on the allowed damage level,
which shall be determined by the Contractor in his detailed design and
included in his Bid Submission.

7.4.6

Seawall design
A seawall may be applied on the breakwater crest in order to provide for an
inspection road and to reduce the probability of wave overtopping at the
crest. The seawall shall be founded on a sufficiently small quarry rock
gradation (levelling layer) in order to create a smooth foundation surface for
the base of the seawall. The seawall shall be designed such that the
settlements of the breakwaters calculated by the Contractor can be
accommodated.
The seawall shall have sufficient stability and resistance to sliding,
overturning and uplift taking into account the critical load combination of all
possible loads (such as but not limited to wave loads, seismic loads, uplift
due to waves, etc.). The safety factors utilised in the Contractors detailed
design shall be determined by the Contractor in accordance with international
standards.

7.4.7

Geotechnical stability
The overall geotechnical stability of the breakwater shall be checked taking
into account all possible failure mechanisms according to the international
codes and standards.
In addition, settlements shall be limited, ensuring the functional requirements.
Therefore the Contractor shall ensure, amongst others:

Always full integrity of the breakwater armour units and layers;


No damage to crown or crest elements;
No increase in overtopping;

The above list is not exhaustive and the Contractor will be deemed to have
allowed for the breakwater settlements, calculated in their design, in all
elements and structures placed on or connected to the breakwaters.
7.4.8

Breakwater testing by 2-D and 3-D physical models


The Contractor shall test his breakwater design with the aid of physical model
testing, taking into account the specified criteria for wave overtopping and
breakwater damage / stability.

Quay wall levels


All levels for the quay wall structures and elements are given in metres
relative to Chart Datum (CD), which equals the Lowest Astronomical Tide.
Specific requirements with respect to the levels are:

Top level (cope level) of the quay wall is +5.0m CD:


- The top level of the quay shall be higher than the wave level
elevation during the 1/1 year wave conditions.
-

The critical diffracted wave height is approximately 2.2m.

The corresponding maximum wave height is 4m.

Due to the oblique angle of incoming waves no full reflection


will take place within the harbour and a reflection coefficient of
50% shall be taken into account in the design, resulting in a
standing wave height of 6 m (instead of 8 m).

The minimum top level of the quay is + 0.5 (MHWS) + 0.60*6.0


+0.3 m= + 4.4m CD. Therefore, a top level of +5.0m shall be
applied.

Minimum required bottom levels at quay walls (UKC is under keel


clearance):
- - Tug berth:
Level = 5.0m CD (incl. 10% UKC);
- - Bunker tanker:
Level = 5.5m CD (incl. 10% UKC);
- - M.O.F.:

Design loads
General
The quay walls shall be designed to resist the design loads as defined in this
section.
Dead weight of structures
Deadweight of structures shall include the weight of all structural
components.
Buoyancy loads
Buoyancy loads shall include the uplift due to submergence in sea water
considering a mass density for sea water of 1030 kg/m3.
Soil and differential water loads
The quay walls shall be designed to resist the following loads:

Horizontal active earth pressures developed by the weight of the soil


behind the quay wall and any surcharge load acting on top of it, both
under static and dynamic (e.g. seismic) conditions;
Hydrostatic pressure due to a difference in water levels across the
quay wall, including effects of waves and possible saturation of soil
behind the quay wall. During seismic events, dynamic water effects
shall be also be considered as a design load.

The stability of the quay wall shall be assessed for high water levels and low
water levels:

For (non-) earthquake conditions the design high and low water level
shall be taken as HAT (+ sea level rise) and LAT (no sea level rise)
respectively;

23 June 2009

For storm conditions the extreme design water levels shall be used.

Bollard loads
British Standards (BS6349-1) gives bollard loads for vessels up to 20,000
tonnes displacement when detailed information on mooring loads is not
available.
The quay for tugs, bunkering tanker, work barge and launches will be
provided with bollards based on the bunkering tanker displacement, being
1620 tonnes. A safe working bollard load of 150 kN shall be applied for these
vessels.
The design vessel at the M.O.F. has a displacement of 13,000 tonnes, thus
resulting in a safe working bollard load of 600 kN.
Bollard loads should be considered acting at any angle to the longitudinal
direction toward the water. Line pull forces up to 45 above the horizontal
shall be taken into consideration.
Fender loads
The quay wall shall be provided with fenders capable of absorbing the
abnormal berthing energy from berthing vessels. The abnormal energy is
determined by the normal berthing energy multiplied by a safety factor.
The berthing energy shall be determined according to Trelleborg [Trelleborg
Marine Systems; Safe Berthing and Mooring; 2007] and PIANC guidelines
[PIANC; Fendering Guidelines, Report of WG 33; 2002].
Table 8-7 summarises the minimum required parameters to determine the
normal and abnormal berthing energy for the vessels. This table is based on

Surcharge loads
The nominal surcharge load to be used in the design of all quay walls is 10
kN/m2.
A larger surcharge of 40 kN/m2 is applied at locations where equipment
loads, after unloading from the heavy cargo vessel, are (temporarily) stored
on the quay. At the M.O.F. a minimum surcharge of 56.5 kN/m2 is applicable
to account for refinery equipment loads on top of SPMTs (self propelled
modular transporter).
The surcharge load acts uniformly on the fill behind the quay wall and will be
added to the horizontal active earth pressure on the quay wall.
Vehicle loads
Superimposed loads from mobile equipment come from multi-axis trailers
(SPMTs) and possibly from mobile cranes.
The Contractor shall determine the suitable equipment (and subsequent
loads on the quay wall) to transport the future refinery revamp material from
the M.O.F. to the refinery area. The main relevant refinery material to be
unloaded and transported are listed in Table 8-8.
All vehicle loads shall include an additional 20% into the working loads due to
dynamic loading of equipment in motion.

The maximum reflected wave height in front of the quay wall is 6m (depth
limited). The maximum water level reduction is therefore taken as the wave
amplitude of 3m.
Seismic loads
The earthquake loading on the quay wall shall be determined in accordance
with Eurocode 8 [Eurocode 8; Design of structures for earthquake resistance
part 5: Foundations, retaining structures and geotechnical aspects; 2004].

8.6

Design approach
The design of the quay walls shall be undertaken using the latest versions of
internationally recognised codes and standards as set out in the Owners
Requirements and shall consider all possible failure mechanisms.
Several normal, extreme and seismic load combinations shall be considered,
taking into account all partial load factors and material factors. In accordance
with the requirements of Clause 4.5, sufficient redundancy and safety against
failure should be left under the design earthquake conditions.
The Contractor is free to choose the type of structure for the quay wall. This
may be caissons, block walls, anchored quay walls, etc. Applicable design
safety factors shall be determined and used by the Contractor according to
internationally recognised codes and standards.

Table 9-1. Dolphin Quick Release Hook design data

As no normative currents are expected in the harbour, they shall be ignored


in the OCIMF calculations. The mooring dolphins shall be designed for a
basic wind speed of 30 m/s from any direction.
Mooring shall generally be by breast and spring lines only and the OCIMF
recommendations related to mooring line angles shall be followed for the
Design Vessels. These mooring line angles and the dynamic effects shall be
given full consideration in the Contractors design and shall be verified by 3-D
physical model tests.
The use of head and stern lines shall only be considered in exceptional
circumstances for smaller ships, where the efficient location of mooring
facilities for the majority of vessels makes it unavoidable. fender and mooring
loads shall also be taken into consideration.
The maximum permitted line load is restricted to 55% of the MBL.
9.6.4

Breasting dolphins
The breasting dolphins shall be capable of absorbing the loads from a
moored vessel, all in accordance with the Owners Requirements. Loads
from a moored vessel can be divided into spring line loads on the QRHs and
mooring and berthing loads on the fender systems.
In addition to the mooring loads, the breasting dolphins shall be capable of
absorbing the loads during berthing of a vessel. The corresponding berthing
analysis shall be performed in accordance with guidelines [Trelleborg Marine
Systems, Safe Berthing and Mooring 2007] and [PIANC; Fendering
Guidelines, Report of WG 33; 2002]. It shall be assumed, in the Contractors
design that the vessels can berth against a single dolphin or against multiple
dolphins simultaneously, whichever is the most onerous.
The berthing structures shall be capable of resisting an abnormal berthing
energy over the design life of the structure. The normal berthing energy shall
be determined with a maximum transverse approach velocity for the design
vessels for difficult berthing conditions, at a sheltered location.

In addition to the values mentioned in the appropriate internationally


recognised codes and standards, Table 9-2 summarises the minimum
required parameters to determine the normal and abnormal berthing energy
for the design vessels, this table is based on the following assumptions:

The vessel will always moor with the bow in a north-easterly


direction;
First contact of the vessel with the berthing structure can be both at
the bow or the stern of the vessel;
Tug assistance;
Difficult berthing conditions, sheltered location;
Dolphin berthing / open structure;
Misalignment: distance (e) between the ships centre of gravity and
the centre of the berth: e = 0.1 * Lpp 15m [EAU2004;

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS AND DESIGN CRITERIA FOR DREDGING


Dredging is required in order to achieve sufficient depth for all vessels. This
includes dredging for:

Approach channel and turning basin;


Berths;
Quay walls;
Soil improvement for breakwaters, if required:
And all other areas within the harbour.

In the harbour areas, the required depths vary and are mainly dependant on
the vessel drafts. The required depths can be located on the Definition
Drawings. For the Reference Design process the bathymetry was based on
the assumed bathymetry as presented in Section 4.4. The correct bathymetry
shall be determined during the site surveys and investigations. These survey
and investigation results shall be provided to the Contractor and shall be
applied in the EPC design.
The following soil types are provided for information only and shall be used
by the Contractor in his Bid Submission for the types of material to be
dredged until the results of the surveys and investigations are available:

Sand;
Sandstone;
Clayey sand;
Silt.

In the Reference Design the dredging is based on the available and assumed
soil conditions as presented in Section 4.4. The results of the site surveys
and investigations shall be provided to the Contractor and shall be applied in
the Detailed Design.
Based on the soil types detailed above, the type of dredging (equipment)
required may be:

Sand to be dredged by trailer suction hopper dredger or cutter


dredger;
Clay to be dredged by cutter dredger;
Sandstone to be dredged by cutter dredger.

Reference shall be made to the Definition Drawings for the minimum required
dredged depths. In the Reference Design, an additional depth for siltation of
0.25m was considered. However, this depth is dependant on the amount of
silt in the upper layer and hence on the site surveys and investigations.
These survey and investigation results shall be provided to the Contractor
and shall be applied in the Detailed Design.

FOR
AND

The electrical installations include the power supply for all electrical harbour
elements, such as pumps, valves, loading arms and lighting. In addition the
control system and telecommunication system shall be included as electrical
installations.

13.2

Existing availability and reliability of power supply


The existing electrical distribution system (medium voltage) is in good
technical state and has been maintained correctly
The age of the existing electrical installations varies between 7 and 18 years.
In 1999 the electrical distribution system was mostly revamped. The
revamped parts are of a modern, proven design and make.
Non-availability of the electrical system is mainly influenced by periodic
maintenance. During periodic maintenance stops the substations are
shutdown for electrical inspection and maintenance. This implies that every
year the harbour power supply will also be shutdown for approximately 3
days.

13.3

Climatic conditions
The design of electrical installations, process control, instrumentation
systems and communication systems shall be based on following climatic
conditions:

13.4

Climate: Wet-salty;
Ambient temperature: Minimum 5C, maximum 46C;
Relative humidity: 89% at 45C;
Altitude: Sea level (less then 1000 A.S.E);
Highly corrosive environment subject to petrochemical and chemical
agents and salty atmosphere;
Presence of sand and sandstorms.

Building standards
The electrical design shall be based on international standards. All materials
and equipment shall comply with:

The latest issue of the applicable regulations and/or guidelines of the
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers);
If both IEC standards and IEEE regulations / guidelines do not exist for
certain installations and materials, the latest issue of the applicable
VDE Standard must be used.

In addition to these general standards, the installations shall also comply with
the latest version of the applicable General Engineering Specifications,
issued by the National Oil Corporation of Libya (NOC).
Where there are differences between General Standards and the General
Engineering Specifications the most severe requirement shall be followed. If
this is not clear the Owner and/or his representative will make the final

Electrical design basis


The existing electrical distribution network is shown on drawing EC-3B-42000
revision 9 (date 24 June 2000) which can be obtained by the Owner. It is a
star shaped grid configuration with 1 out of 2 redundancy in all
interconnections between substations and also in transformers. The general
characteristics for the electrical power supply are:

Power from 3 steam turbines, each 6.25 MW / 7.2 MVA, normal


operation 2 operating, 1 standby;
1 gas turbine, 19 MW / 23 MVA, normally in operation at set point 7
MW;
2 incoming feeders from the local grid, capacity 8 MW at minimum
power factor 0,9, 1 feeder hot standby but with minimum load, 1
feeder switched off;
Nominal power consumption of the whole plant 13 MW;
Power Factor requirement at least 0.9.

Based on the available generator capacity, the loads of existing installations


and the expectation that the new harbour installation will have an average
power consumption of 2 MVA maximum, the connection of the new harbour
to one of the existing 6.6 kV distribution boards seems a feasible option.
Voltage levels are:

Medium voltage 6.6 kV AC;


Low voltage 400 V AC;
Service voltage 230 V AC;
Frequency AC 50 Hertz;
Control voltage 110 VDC.

The design current of existing high/medium voltage network for ES1 and ES3
is 2000 Ampere. The indicated short-circuit duty in the medium voltage
network is 350 MVA (thermal short circuit current is therefore 31 kA). Where
a 6.6 kV distribution board and/or network are expanded, the technical
specifications of the new part shall be equal to or better than those of the
existing parts.
Influence of contribution of electric motors to the short circuit current shall be
taken into account.

13.6

Electrical substations

systems, each busbar supplied from one transformer. The busbars
can be connected by a busbar coupler. LV main distribution board to
be equipped with a connection facility for a mobile diesel generator
set;
To each piece of equipment one feeder cable shall be installed.
Redundant equipment, for example one main pump and one spare
pump, shall be supplied from different busbars. Loading arms are
single systems and shall therefore have a single electrical feeder.

Redundant cabling systems shall have sufficient separation to avoid common


cause failures in case of fire or mechanical damage. On the loading platforms
cabling shall be installed in covered cable trays, to protect cables against UVlight.
