Consequently, loading arms should not be considered merely as prefabricated hardware. The uniqueness of each loading arm application is reflected in the variability and complexity of operating envelopes, products transferred, simultaneous service requirements, manifold spacing, jetty and piping layouts, arm styles, environmental loadings , auxiliary hardware etc. all these variables need to be considered during the design basis stage and be accurately presented in the final loading arm specification. - xi - Purpose and Scope The specification covers the minimum requirements for marine loading arms and their ancillary equipment for loading and/or unloading ships and barges at conventional marine terminals and sea islands. The use of the word “loading “is generic and applies to both loading and unloading arms. Loading arms are generally used for crude oil, refined and chemical products, liquefied gases, vapor and ballasting/deballasting duties. The specification does not include details of all requirements relating to the design and fabrication of standard parts and fittings of the loading arms. The owner is therefore expected to supplement the information listed, taking account of local conditions and any particular design or operating features of the loading arms. It should be noted that this specification and accompanying guidelines are not intended to preclude the use of new materials , design or techniques which can be satisfactorily demonstrated to be suitable for the intended service. An asterisk beside a section, table or figure indicates that there is a relevant explanation in part III “guidelines to parts I and II”. - xii - Part I Specification 1.0 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND PRACTICES 1.1 the latest codes of the following codes and standards form part of this specification, as a minimum.

The tanker manifold shall be included ,if required by section 4.2.11. where combinations other than those shown in table 17,e,g. exclusion of a load , can be shown to lead to a greater feasible loading effect, then the design shall also allow for that condition. It is the vendor’s responsibility to identify such conditions. Where applicable , the stress report shall also include any installation/maintenance lifting lugs.

If no test pressure is specified then it shall be in accordance with ASME/ANSI B31.3 3.11.5 Fluid loads (FL) for loading arms shall based on : a.The weight of seawater( specific gravity of 1.03) for oil and oil products. b.the product weight for liquefied gases and chemical products. 3.11.6 unless otherwise specified in table 10, the self weight and wind load (DL+WL) shall - 16 - include ice build-up (specific gravity=0.80)as follows: a. cold climate- 6mm on all components b. refrigerated LPG cargo- 10 mm on cargo components c. for LNG and ethylene –25 mm on cargo carrying components it should be noted that these criteria are not cumulative. 3.11.7 thermal loads (TL) are the loads caused by material temperature differences. The temperature differences used in the design shall Best wishes, based on the design temperatures specified in table 1 and if applicable the ambient and solar radiation temperatures in table 10. these temperatures shall be applied in the most extreme combination. Where a product, e.g. LNG, could produce unacceptable temperature gradients, a cool-down procedure shall be included in the operating procedures which are requested in table 19. this procedure shall provide temperature gradients across fluid and structural members and recommended maximum cool-down product flow rate and minimum cool-down duration to prevent excessive stresses and strains. 3.11.8 windloads (WL) shall be calculated for the worst direction(s). the vendor shall calculate wind loads as follows. a. velocity pressure the velocity pressure is calculated as follows : qz=0.613 KzKztV2I where qz=velocity pressure at height z above minimum water level (N/m2) Kz=velocity pressure co-efficient evaluated at height z(m) Kzt=topographic factor (use 1.0) V=Basic 3 seconds gust wind speed (m/s) I=Importance factor (use 1.0) Kz is determined as follows: Kz=2.01(Z/Zg)2 /a, Kz=2.01(4.6/Zg) for 4.6m ≤Z≤Zg 2/a, for Z< 4.6m Where Z= Height above low tide(m) Zg=Gradient height(m) a=power law coefficient Exposure a Zg(m) C 9.5 274 D 11.5 213 Exposure C covers open terrain with scattered obstructions having heights generally less than 10m. Exposure D should be generally used for loading arms exfcept where - 17 - Exposure C could be justified. Exposure D covers flat, unobstructed locations which are exposed to wind flowing over open water for a distance of at least 1.6Km. Exposure D extends 4100m inland from the shoreline or 10 times the height of the loading arm, whichever is greater. b. Wind Forces The wind force is calculated as follows: F=qzGCfAf Where F = Design wind force (N) G=gust effect factor (use 0.85) Cf=Force coefficient Af=Projected area normal to wind (m2) The gust effect factor ,G, accounts for the loading effects in the along-wind direction due to the effect of wind turbulence on the loading arm. It also accounts for along-wind loading due to dynamic amplification for flexible structures. It does not include cross-wind loading effects, vortex shedding, instability or dynamic torsional effets. If a higher value factor is justified due to dynamic sensitivity to wind it should be determined in accordance with ASCE 7. Loading arms are not subject to wind included vibrations. The force coefficient Cf accounts for along-wind effects due to the shape or drag of the loading arm. Loading arms are unique structures and there are no wind tunnel test data available to establish precise force coefficients. However, based on recommendations provided in ASCE 7 for round cylindrical shapes and flat or angular shaped members, the following coefficients are recommended. Cross-section Round Type of surface Cf Moderately Smooth rough 0.7 D√qz>5.3 1.0 Round all 1.2 all 1.7 D√qz≤5.3 Flat or angular D= diameter (m) qz in N/m2 alternatively, the vendor may determine wind loads from wind tunnel tests on a representative model. 3.11.9 the design stress procedure shall be as follows: determine the design loads for the various load cases from Table 17; calculate the stresses using linear elastic material behaviour and the equivalent (tresca, vonmises or principal ) stress; - 18 - determine the allowable design stress, s=(KxSd) using the K factors in Table 17; the equivalent stresses must not exceed the allowable design stress, s; local discontinuity and /or local thermal stresses must not exceed 2.0 x yield stresses. Components under predominantly compressive stresses shall be shown to have a safety factor of 2.0 against instability; The maximum deformation of components shall be limited such that the functionality of the equipment and the clearance requirements specified in section 4.1.7 are guaranteed under all loading conditions; and Check dynamic behaviour where approprite 3.11.10 complete wire rope assemblies , with their anchorages , shall have a safety factor of at least 5 related to minimum rated breaking strength. 3.11.11 The vendor shall ensure that the loads transmited to the manifold flange , under all circumstances are limited to the maximum given in the latest editions of the OCIMF ‘recommendations for Oil Tanker Manifolds and Associated Equipment’,’Recommendations for Manifolds for refrigerated gas carriers for cargoes from 0 ℃ to minus 104 ℃ , or ‘recommendations for manifolds for refrigerated liquefied natural gas carriers (lng) ,whichever is applicable. The vendor shall perform a manifold stress analysis where the manifold loads exceed the allowable loads given in the above publications. The manifold stresses shall be based on cases 4,5 and 6 using the applicable k factors in table 17. The stress analysis shall be made with the specified manifold diameters,wall thicknesses and materials given in table 5.if this information is not available then the vendor and owner shall confer and agree. The vendor shall provide a table of maximum allowable manifold cantilever lengths for the specified operating wind speed to comply with the allowable manifold loads and a table of maximum allowable operating wind speeds for 1200 mm manifold cantilevers. 3.11.12 earthquake loads (EL), when specified in table 10 shall be considered to act in the plane parallel and normal to the jetty face. 3.11.13 Stress intensification factors, as per ASME 31.3 shall be used for elbows flange and pipebends etc. correction factors flanged ends shall be restricted to arc angles of 90 degrees or less.

It is in the form of a commentary and provides background information and reasons for specified requirements. 2.0 GUIDELINES 2.1 reference sections 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.1.5 and 4.1.6 2.1.1the above sections are inter-related and basically cover the aspects which influence the maximum reach requirements of loading arms. To establish the maximum reach it is essential to understand the relevance of the reference and composite envelopes. 2.1.1.1reference envelope figures 4 and 5 show a typical reference envelope which is based on the following: a. the full range of ships using the berth. b. The specified horizontal manifold movements ref. Tables 12 and 13 are normally taken as being at the worst conditions, i.e: For oil tankers at the bottom of envelope; and For liquefied gas carriers at the bottom of the envelope, this may also be at the top of the envelop, because these vessels sit high in the water. Because of the circular movement of loading arms, this results in larger movement capacities at intermediate manifold positions in both plane and elevations. c. elevation changes due to tides , ref . table 10. d. Elevation changes due to freeboard (or draught),ref .table 3 and figure 1. e. The location and height of the manifold, ref. Table 3 and figure 1. It should be noted that the worst combinations (c ) and (d) are: Largest empty or ballasted vessel at maximum water level: and Smallest full vessel at minimum water level. The specified horizontal movements should be based on the maximum attitude drift velocities in the surge and sway directions, time required for the operation of any ERS and accuracy of mooring on the spotting line. 2.1.1.2 composite envelope figure 9 shows the development of a composite envelope based on the following: ·the composite envelope is for №2 which is in a bank of four arms. ·arm №2 can operate alone , simultaneously with arm №3, or simultaneously with №.3 and 4. ·for each service, the center-line of the manifold group will be on the center-line of the arm or arms in service. Figure 9a is the reference envelope for arm № 2. - 36 - Figure 9b shows the envelope for arm №2 when operating simultaneously with arm №.3.the minimum and maximum manifold spacings are shown. The maximum spacing governs the maximum reach to the left hand side of the envelope and the minimum spacing governs the maximum reach to the right hand side of the envelope. s. 3 and 4. Figure 9c is derived in the same way of arm №2 when operating simultaneously with №’ Figure 9d is derived in the summation of figures 9a, 9b and 9c is the composite envelope showing the maximum reach requirements for arm №2. Figure 9d shows that the reach capacities of the composite envelope for arm №2 exceeds the basic specified requirements for arm № 2 reference envelope, ref. Figure 9a. this is an advantage , but great care has to be exercised in positioning specified alarms, ref. Tables 12 and 13 and figure 4 and 5. the alarm positions have to be suitable for single and simultaneous operation. This may require relocation of the spotting line for figure 9a and 9b to maintain the surge and sway specified requirements. 2.2 reference section 4.1.7 clearance study it is the owner’ s responsibility to supply the vendor with a final drawing of the jetty layout in elevation and plan, at an agreed date, for the vendor’s clearance study. The specified recommended minimum clearances are operating requirements i.e. after any deflections and fabrication and erection tolerances. Figure 11 shows the location of main clearance checkpoints. These are guidelines only and should not be treated as finite. The loading arm manufacturer has the responsibility to identify all check points where there is the potential for interference. Minimum manifold centers on some ships give less than 0.3 m between adjacent ERS and adjacent OC/DC. 2.3 reference section 4.1.8 the clearance between the outermost part of a stowed arm and the jetty face should be as large as is practical. It should not be assumed that a stowed arm is free from contact with a ship , even if the arm does not protrude beyond the jetty face. 2.4 reference section 4.2 general the specified requirements for stress analysis of the product lines generally follow the pressure vessel and piping design codes i.e.BS5500, ASME B31.3. and ASME VIII the objective of the adapted procedure is to obtain approximately the same level of conservatism as in the second edition of this publication. 2.5 reference section 4.2.7 thermal loads are created when thermal expansion or contraction is fully partially restricted . in the case of loading arms handling very low temperature products , e.g. LNG and ethylene , the product lines are supported in a manner which allows them to contract and expand freely, thus preventing axial thermal loads. However the temperature gradient over wall thickness and over the pipe diameter when there is partial flow - 37 - as the product cascades over the apex, can give rise to significant stresses and possibly permanent strain. These stress shall be considered in design. 2.6 reference section 4.2.8 the specified procedure for establishing wind loads is adapted from ASCE7(1995) and shall be universally used for loading arm. 2.7 reference section 4.2.9 the K factors listed in table 17 maintain, at least the same safety standards as in the 1987 issue of this specification and have been established as follows. Cases 1&2 remarks The empty loading arm is considered as a civil structure to AISC code k 1.2 1 with 33 /3% increase for the extreme wind/earthquake conditions. 3 Normal manoeuvring is always empty nd considered as a civil structure to 0.9 AISC code 0.6 x yield stress =K x yield stress/1.5 4&5 These are the most onerous conditions and require the highest level of 0.8 safety. 1.0x0.49x yield stress = K x yield stress/1.5 K=0.74 6 Similar rational as cases 4&5 2.0x 0.49 x yield stress = k x yield stress / 1.5 k=1.48 7&8 These occur infrequently but are considered onerous conditions 1.1 1.4x0.49x yield stress=k x yield stress / 1.5 k=1.03 9 Same as for case 3 0.9 10 1.8x 0.49x yield stress =k x yield stress / 1.5 1.3 k=1.32 2.8 reference section 5.2 lubricating grease can be used in product swivels for refrigerated LPG service. At the current time lubricating greases are unsuitable for temperatures below minus 65 ℃. Structural bearings can be less affected than swivels by product temperatures. Nevertheless, for very low temperature products e.g. ethylene and LNG, the same temperature criteria applies to the selection of lubricating grease or nitrogen purge system. 2.9 reference section 7.1.8 during simultaneous emergency release of a number of loading arms it is essential that their movements are the same, particularly for initiation and speed of movement. Therefore , it is important to place an accumulator at each loading arm to ensure that resistance and therefore hydraulic fluid flow is the same for - 38 - each loading arm. 2.10 reference section 7.1.12 the frequency and extent of ERS testing will depend on the Owner’s safety procedure. For liquefied gas duties, some Owner’ s test ERS, without ERC operation, before the arrival of each gas carrier. 2.11 reference section 8.3.3 the leaking of bolted flange connections in LNG services systems is not uncommon. The problem has been identified as one of assessing the valve of initial bolt load to account for the components of bolt load required to overcome the several effects that influence the tightness of the connection as follows: · bolt loads required for external loads: · bolt load required to seat the gasket; · bolt load required to accommodate the internal pressure ; and · bolt load required to accommodate loosening effects due to temperature and thermal cycling. Flanges gasket characteristic must allow elastic recovery of the gasket when the external loads and moments are relaxed . 2.12 reference section 9.14 the use of a diaphragm in the hydraulic reservoir is preferred because it excludes the ingress of air and hence and any moisture. The use of breather valves with a moisture filter should not be in areas of high humidity. 2.13 reference section 9.15 when there are extremes of ambient temperature, the hydraulic fluids shall have a stable viscosity over the specified temperature range. 2.14 reference section 9.18 because of the nature loading arms , there are sections of the hydraulic circuit where the hydraulic fluid does not flow into and out of the reservoir. Therefore it is essential that there is the capability for individual flushing. This will expedite maintenance and reduce any downtime due to contamination. 2.15 reference section 12.4.1 loading arms shall not be tested using the vendor’s factory hydraulic power unit, because of the potential incompatibilities, i.e. performance characteristics, fluid cleanliness, fluid specification, etc. additionally , using the vendor’s unit will not allow identification of problems in the new unit before installation. 2.16 reference tables 1 and 2 in the case of pressurized liquefied gases and partially pressurized refrigerated liquefied gases, it is recommended that the minimum design temperature in table 2.1 , be based on the atmospheric boiling temperature of the product in table 2.2. the design pressure shall allow for any pressure surge effects caused by the closure of jetty, ship or loading arm valves , as appropriate. If necessary surge pressure relief systems may be considered to accommodate surge pressure. - 39 - The flowrate through loading arms should be based on maximum flow velocities of 12 m/sec. Higher velocities may cause vibration and even cavitation at elbows. Therefore velocities higher than 12 m/sec. Should be treated with caution. In addition, careful consideration should be given to velocities through flow restrictions to avoid cavitation, e.g. reduced bore valves. This potential problem is more likely with shiploading , where the line pressure is low, and when handling products having low vapour pressures, e.g. liquefied gases. The size and number of loading arms for a particular application is based on the following: product parcel size (s); product transfer duration; size and number of ship flanges; flow rate for each arm; simultaneous transfer of products (where applicable); and contamination considerations. Some loading arms handle multi-products where contamination is not a problem or when the remains of a product can completely evaporate before re-use. However refrigerated liquefied gas loading arms should always be product dedicated because of the danger of a remnant product being frozen by the liquefied gas. The flow rate may be governed by the following: pump capacities; product properties; product temperature; venting capacities of storage tanks; total piping system pressure drop including loading arm; elevation of liquid level in terminal storage and in ship tanks; flow resistance in vapour return lines;; and for ship unloading , the changing elevation of the pump. 2.17 reference table 3 the manifold setback should include the effects of any spool pieces which are expected to be in place when the loading arm is to be connected. 2.18 reference table 11 2.18.1 operation manual operation of marine loading arm may be considered for arm diameters up to 150/200mm, provided that the arm is only manoeuvred when empty, the length of the arm is relatively short and the arm is operated at moderate wind conditions. On larger arms the wind loads may become too high for manual manoeuvring.vendor’s confirmation should be the feasibility of manual operation.( loading arms fitted with ERS are hydraulically operated irrespective of size). 2.18.2 Emergency Release Systems(ERS) ERS are used for the following reasons: protection of the environment; - 40 - protection of personal ; protection of the installation and ships; the decision to use an ERS should be used on consideration of those reasons, the product, loading rate, frequency of loading operations and the site conditions, which influence the behaviour of the ship on the berth. The installation of ERS are normally not essential for facilities in well protected harbours, where ships or barges can be securely moored with minimal impact of wind, tide and current and surge from other ship movements in the vicinity is not a problem. ERS are always used for liquefied gas duties unless otherwise specified because of the large volumes of flammable vapours formed on liquid spillage and the high liquid transfer rates at many refrigerated and pressurized gas terminals. They may also be justified for other duties, e.g. crude oil, where a spill is a large risk to the environment. 2.18.3 ERS product valve closure time during an emergency operation, the closure of the ERS valves is co-ordinated with the closure of any jetty emergency shut down (ERD) valves. The maximum closure time of the ERS valves is based on the distance available in the envelope and the drift speed of the ship. Ideally the valve closure times should not cause unacceptable surge pressures nor column separation. If this is not practical then pressure alleviation devices may be required. Surge pressure is more likely to be a problem, with ship loading because of the up stream pipe distances, whilst column separation is more likely to be a problem, with ship unloading , on the down stream side of the valves. 2.18.4 ERC opening time the emergency release coupling (ERC) should open as quickly as possible. (under normal circumstances, the clamp type coupling appears to open instantaneously).the specified opening time should be one (1) second and all components should be free and completely clear of the separation path of the two pipe ends within two seconds total. This operation has to take place within a defined distance in the envelope , based on the drift speed. 2.18.5 ERS product valves for safety reasons, ball valves shall be used for liquefied gas duties. Reduced bore valves may be used to save considerable weight and reduce the trapped volume of liquid between the valves. The pressure drop along a loading arm is seldom a problem, but could be a reason for using full-bore ball valve. There is a risk of cavitation in reduced bore valves, see section 2.14. parts III. Other types of valves may be used for general duties as discussed in part 1. 2.18.6 mechanical interlock and hydraulic interlock the selection of interlock will normally depend on the owners preferences and experiences. The cost difference is insignificant and should not be a consideration. Both systems are hydraulically operated, and the main difference is that the ERC is mechanically interlocked with the ERS product valves for the mechanically interlock system, whilst the ERC is interlocked with ERS product valves by hydraulic valves in the hydraulic interlock system. - 41 - The decision should be made on reliability and if this is contentions, the owner should consider having a failure modes and effort analysis carried out on both systems. 2.18.7 Quick connect/disconnect coupler, operation , clamp operating time the reasons for selecting a quick connect/disconnect coupler (QC/DC) are: ease and speed of operation, particularly on large flanges involving many bolts; when connections to various flange standards and sizes are required; safety of operation, particularly where ship movements are a problem; and when handling hazardous products. QC/DC are normally hydraulically operated when used on arms with ERS. Where a hydraulic supply is not available, a QC/DC can be fitted with its own manually operated system. The minimum clamping time of 5 seconds is required to allow operators sufficient time to keep clear of the clamps. In choosing a QC/DC it should be noted that they are relatively heavy items, and because of their location at the end of the arm they will require approximately seven (7) times their weight in counterweights, thus significantly increasing the loads to be accommodated by the loading arm and its foundation. The choice of an integral valve will depend on the owner’s operating philosophy, but it implies that the loading arm may be manoeuvred full of product. This will influence the strength and cost of the arm. QC/DC must never be used as a substitute for an emergency release system, mainly because in certain parts of the operating envelope they may inhibit clear separations, and do not isolate the manifold. 2.18.8 piggy back vapour return lines may be used with LPG loading arms for example. They are carried by the parent arm. The ERS is normally integral with the parent ERS. The valves may be ball valves or spring loaded non-return valves. 2.18.9 control system a local control panel should be located on the jetty, at one end of the bank of loading arms. All loading arms in the stowed position should be visible from this position so that each arm can be seen when maneuvred from the stowed position to over the ship’ s rail. It may be necessary to have pendant control connected to the control panel to enhance visibility. Pendant control is necessary for final maneouvring and connection to the ship’ s manifold. It is recommended that this pendant is permanently connected to the manifold end of the loading arm. Disconnectable pendants suffer damage to the electrical connections and affect operations. Radio control may be considered as an alternative to pendant control. It offers increased flexibility and additional safety when disconnecting iced-up loading arms. 2.18.10 vacuum breaker vacuum breakers (ref. Section 8.4.3. also) are not used on loading arms for liquefied gas duties. Instead , - 42 - nitrogen purge may be used to expedite product drainage. A vacuum breaker is located at the apex and expedites gravity draining of the outboard arm into the ship’ s tank following completion of product transfer. Vacuum breakers are usually NPS 2(DN50) minimum. They control the ingress of air and the pressure inside the arm and therefore influence gravity drainage. The vacuum breaker is operated by linkage and pull-wires from the manifold end of the loading arm. Vacuum breakers often fail to operate properly, causing leakage of product, unsightly mess on the loading arm and the risk of the spillage reaching the water. Some owner do not use vacuum breakers and claim that gravity drainage is satisfactory. This is probably due to the production of gas from the product at its vapour pressure. It should be noted that swivel seals are designed to accommodate 0.5 bara and therefore lower pressures should not be developed during drainge. 2.18.11 purging system purging system are used for the following operations: to expedite product drainage in liquefied gas duties: for removing air or vapour from a loading arm and providing an inert atmosphere for arms in liquefied gas duties; and for removing product, by hot purging, from multi-product loading arms. The purge connection can be located at a number of points e.g. riser, apex, triple swivel assembly. To avoid the need for flexible hoses, the connection could be located in the riser. The gas will rise to the apex and provide a gas cushion which will purge both inboard and outboard arms. 2.18.12 standby electro-hydraulic pump the selection of a standby electro hydraulic pump will be based on the owner’ s operating philosophy and personal preferences. If a standby pump is selected then consideration should be given to automatic alternative starting. If one pump fails to start, the the other shall start automatically. 2.18.13 manual hydraulic pump a manual hydraulic pump is recommended to enable operation of the manoeuvring functions in the event of an electric power failure. 2.18.14 swivel purging purging of swivel where lubricating grease can be used is not necessary. This normally covers general and LPG duties. Where the design temperature is not sufficiently low enough to adversely affect or freeze the grease. 2.18.15 jack - 43 - jacks should be used when necessary to limit manifold stresses. It should be noted without measurement the load taken by the jack is indeterminate and depends on the structural stiffness of the supporting deck plate and the cantilever length of the ship’ s manifold. Dependant on the configuration of the triple swivel assembly, the ship’ s manifold and the attitude of the arm, the loads on the manifold may become upward. In view of this, arms should be designed and balanced so that the manifold loads are less than the maximum loads specified in the OCIMF publications listed in section 1.1. 2.18.16 flushing system flushing system are used for removing the remnant product and cleaning a loading arm. The reasons may be to remove a difficult product before the next transfer or to remove a product that could contaminate the next product. Flushing is normally done by water. Refrigerated and pressurized liquefied gas arms are never flushed. 2.18.17 stripping system ref. Figure 7, stripping system are used for draining the inboard arm and pumping the product to the apex for gravity draining through the outboard arm to the ship’ s tanks. 2.19 reference tables 12,13 and figure 4 and 5 2.19.1 flange connection space this space allows for a variation of manifold positions for the range of the ships handled. 2.19.2 safety margin the distance between the 2nd stage alarm and the maximum reach of the arm provides a safety margin in which the ERS valves close (if they failed to do so at the 1st stage) and the ERC opens before the arm reaches its maximum position where damage may occur. 2.19.3 pre-alarm the owner may specify a pre-alarm when it would allow sufficient time to correct the cause of the alarm, thus preventing activation of the 1st stage alarm. 2.19.4 maximum drift velocity the owner shall determine the drift velocities for each berth, this will be based on the type and size of vessels using the jetty, wind, current, etc. 2.20 reference table 23 documentation required with the tender to enable the owner to evaluate and compare tenders, the vendor shall provide documentation with their tender as requested by the owner in table 18, taking due cognizance of the following. 2.20.1 utilities consumption list, code ref.: 105 vendor shall provide details of all utilities required for the operation of the proposed loading arm systems, including electrical power, water, external pneumatic and/or gaseous nitrogen services, 2.20.2 general arrangement and operational envelope drawing, code ref.: 110 and 111 these drawings shall, in addition to general dimensions of the arm(s), include, as a minimum, the information shown in the following tables of part I, specification: - 44 - tables 3,4,6,12,13; information shown in figures 1 and 3, shall be confirmed; the following additional information shall be provided: maximum operating envelope of the loading arm(s), including the counterweight envelope(s) and the relative relationship between the arms when operating together in specified combinations at both maximum and minimum tanker manifold spacing; clearance as per part I, section 4.17; and attitude of the arm(s) for maintenance of swivels, stowage and hydrostatic testing operations. 2.20.3 design data sheets, code ref.: 117 these shall include completed design data sheets as detailed in part I, specification.
