Art. 16 - Berthing or Stay in the Harbor (1)

A- The Master is solely responsible for the mooring of the vessel in Port Said Port, berthing
in Port of Suez and/or in Canal water (even if such mooring or berthing is for emergency
reasons), where the vessel has to be always ready for maneuvering.

B- Mooring lashing ropes:
For the safety and quick berthing of vessels in Port Said Harbor the only Lashing ropes

allowed to be used for fixing vessel’s rope on the buoys are those provided by the Suez
Canal Mooring and Lights Company. For this purpose, the said company provides vessels
making fast in the harbor with 2 inches manilla or sezal ropes. This service is against 80

U.S. Dollars per vessel to be added to the invoice of the Suez Canal Mooring and Lights
Company.

C- Master is to pay attention to the instructions hereunder:
(1) When the vessel is moored to the buoys, the mooring ropes must be watched to ensure

safe mooring. If two vessels are moored to the same buoy, when one leaves, the other
must adjust her mooring.

(2) Masters must comply with the SC Harbor Master’s advice regarding mooring ropes
during the stay of their vessels in port; especially when expecting bad weather, it is also
necessary to increase the mooring ropes if required.

(3) When a vessel is moored with her stern to the bank, the Master must keep himself
continuously informed of the depth of water aft, to avoid grounding on the submerged

slope either as a result of the settling of the vessel as she loads, or her proximity to the
bank.

(4) At night, the vessel, whether moored or maneuvering, must show the lights prescribed
by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at sea, in addition to the SC

light signals.
(5) Unless authorized, barges alongside a vessel must not be more than two abreast each
other.

(6) It is forbidden to try projectors, or to turn the propellers during the process of
warming up, in the absence of the pilot, or without informing him when on board.

(7) Vessels must not put their engines out of working order for any reason whatsoever
