In terms of national regulations, the following is an extract of the General Police Regulations,
published in the Transports Regulations Code :
19
“ Port officers, deputy port officers and port supervisors, acting under the authority of the Port Police Authority, authorise ships,
boats and floating units to enter and exit the port. They set the acceptable draught levels, taking into account information from
the Port Authority on bottom conditions and other elements likely to affect navigation.
They determine the order of port entry and exit for ships, boats and floating units. Port officers, deputy port officers and port
supervisors may prohibit port access of ships, boats and floating units whose entry may constitute a threat to security, safety,
public health or the environment, as well as to the conservation or appropriate operation of port infrastructure.
They manage and command all movements of ships, boats and floating units. All movements of ships, boats and floating units
shall be carried out in compliance with regulatory signal codes. However, any orders given by port officers, deputy port officers
and port supervisors shall prevail over signals.
All movements of ships, boats and floating units shall be performed in accordance with maritime practices and specific
instructions, under the aegis of their captain or owner, who shall remain in control of and responsible for the manoeuvres
and must make every effort to prevent accidents. Manoeuvres shall be performed at speeds that do not endanger other users,
maritime or salvage works, waterways, quays and wharves or other facilities. Every captain, master or owner of a ship, boat or
any other floating unit shall be obliged to obey regulation signals or orders issued, by any means whatsoever, by port officers, in
compliance with the provisions of Article L. 5334-5 of the Code of Transportation.
Upon entering and leaving port, every ship shall fly its national ensign, in addition to regulation signal flags.
The Port Police Authority may oblige captains to be assisted by tugs and mooring services. ”
“ The Port Police Authority shall direct ships, boats and floating units to the dockside berths allocated by the Port Authority.
Vessels shall be moored under the responsibility of their captain or owner, in compliance with maritime practices and with the
orders given them by the Harbour Master’s Office. Mooring shall be done solely with the mooring apparatus specially created for
this purpose on the port structures or at the mooring buoys. Every captain or owner of a ship, boat or floating unit is prohibited
from mooring on a maritime signal facility. It is forbidden to entrust the handling of moorings of a ship, boat or floating unit to
any person not forming part of the crew of said ship, boat or floating unit, or of the boatmen services without prior authorisation
from the HM’s Office. Mooring equipment must be in good condition and suited to the properties of the ship. If necessary, every
captain, owner or watchman on board shall reinforce the moorings, or have them reinforced, and take all precautions ordered
by the Port Officers or supervisors. No objection will be accepted to mooring coupled with another ship, as ordered by the Port
Officers or supervisors and at the request of the Port Authority, when operating needs so require. ”
“ At any time, the Port Authority may decide to move a ship, boat or floating unit, according to operational requirements or work
done within the port. ”
“ Any ship, boat or floating unit moored in the port and manned must have the necessary personnel on board to carry out all
manoeuvres, should they be required and to facilitate the movements of other ships, boats or floating units ; if unmanned, it must
have at least one watchman on board. ”
“ Pumping out of ballast water of ships, boats or floating units inside the port is to be carried out under the control of the Port
Authority, which may prohibit or interrupt said operations whenever they are likely to pose a threat to port public property, the
safety of the ship or protection of the environment. The Port Authority may, at any time, request submission of on-board log
documents showing that the ballast water from the ship, boat or floating unit will not harm the marine environment. ”
20
“ Sweeping of the boilers, gas or smoke conduits and the emission of dense and nauseous fumes are prohibited in the port and its
surroundings, except with express authorisation from the Port Authority. ”
“ Maintenance or repair operations, and naval construction or demolition outside of locations designated for such purposes shall
be subject to Port Authority authorisation. ”
Local regulations are also in force and serve to supplement and specify national regulations.

Harbours, following a protocol agreement, this mission has been partially entrusted, to
the Customs Department.
Among the specific tasks related to migration flow controls on entering or leaving the
SCHENGEN Area, are also included the processing and treatment of stowaways.
Upon discovery of stowaway, the master or his agent shall immediately notify to the
Border Control Police Department and stay available to facilitate the operation.
The MARSEILLE SPAF [border police] may also, for reasons deemed ”compelling and
unforeseeable”, issue visas to seafarers in transit, according with the European Code
of Visas, in force since the 5th of April 2011 (EC regulation n°810/2009 of 2009/7/13).
This procedure must, however, be restricted to highly exceptional cases. The normal
process, defined by applicable legislation and confirmed by the Immigration Department

The Port of Marseille Fos is divided into two distinct parts: The Eastern Harbours and the
Western Harbours.
The Eastern Harbours, located close to the city of Marseille, are dedicated to national and
international ferry traffic, cruise ships, RoRo ships, container ships, bulk carriers (sugar,
flour, wheat, alumina, etc.), and so on. They are comprised of seven docks, six of which are
contiguous and connected by passageways, along with two outer docks, one to the North
and one to the South.
The Western Harbours, which are accessed via the Omega Buoy through a channel in the
Gulf of Fos, are dedicated to crude oil and oil products, chemicals, gas, container, bulk and
RoRo traffic..

CURRENTS
In and around the Gulf of Fos and Marseille, the currents are generally weak and vary
with the wind. See nautical instructions for more detail.
When atmospheric pressure drops, seiches are produced in the Gulf of Fos for a period of
about 1 hour. Their variations in level, which may reach 25 cm, combine with those of the
tide to create a tidal amplitude of 50 cm.
One sometimes observes, in the Port of Marseille, abrupt variations in the level of the sea
that may reach 20 cm and produce short-lived currents in the passages. This phenomenon
usually occurs with an offshore wind and if the sea is high.
FOG
Very good by NW-LY winds, the visibility may be moderate with an Easterly wind, often
accompanied by rain.
A morning fog sometimes extends out to 2 miles offshore in the summer with a flat calm.
Annoying for the landfall, this fog usually dissipates by late morning.
WATER DENSITY
Seawater density may reach values of less than 1.026 in the Etang de Berre, Caronte
Channel and Lavera Harbour. This must be taken into account in order to comply with
the acceptable clearances mentioned in the present document.

PORT NAVIGATION
August 2016
51
VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICE (VTS)
The purpose, the role, the jurisdictional limits, the authority and the operation mode of
the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) are described in the Prefectural Order of 2012 January the
16th, regulating navigation in the Maritime and River Regulation Zone (MRRZ) of the Great
Maritime Port of Marseille. This order states that any vessel or boat equipped with AIS,
must maintain the equipment in service permanently whether in navigation or at stand by
anchorage. In the event of failure, it must report immediately to the port VTS by giving its
name and position or other useful information.
8.2 Maximum authorized speed
Speeds are not limited in the channels and entrances to the docks, but every ship or boat
must set a safe speed suited to its manoeuvring capabilities, weather and traffic conditions
so that it can, at any time, take adequate measures to avoid a collision.
A major ship squat effect has been observed in the Marseille South passage.
Please, check with the pilots.
Speeds are limited in the following zones :
Location
Marseille Eastern Harbours:
South of the Cape Janet passage
Marseille Eastern Harbours:
North of the Cape Janet passage
Caronte Channel
Navigation within 300 m of shore
Max. speed for ships and commercial vessels
Max. speed for leisure craft
10 knots
10 knots
15 knots
5 knots, if less than 50 m in lenght
10 knots
5 knots
8.3 Depth Survey
The Port of Marseille Fos Authority has a Hydrographic Division (HD) that operates the
latest generation measuring equipment, the «ESCANDAIL», a hydrographical launch of
15 metres equipped with :
v a multiband echo sounder RESON/8101 with option 210°,
v a motion sensor gyrocompass HYDRINS by IXBLUE,
v a speed velocity profiler type SVP by NAVITRONIC and,
v a DGPS positioning TRIMBLE, working on centimetre mode.
The HD can also operate on a second lighter unit called «COUSTIE», an 8,5m catamaran,
a single beam measurement chain. The acquisition, processing and formatting of
bathymetric data and all the associated calculations are performed with the software
package «HyPACK» in its latest version.
The HD operates also a high performance side sonar: EDGETECH/4125P. This equipment
is used to identify objects on the sea bottom.
The total staff is of five people, including three certified surveyors and two launch pilots.
The frequency of surveys varies depending on the zones and basins. It is four months for
some docks and one year for other positions and areas that do not present significant
changes in bathymetry. This activity is responsible, in additional, to regular surveys, for
52
...8.3 Depth survey
monitoring of the maritime works such as dredging.
The maximum permissible drafts are set by the Harbor Master and sent by broadcast
notice to users after analyzing the plans and in accordance with international standards.
8.4 Navigation priority
The general rule is the International Regulation for Preventing Collisions at Sea, and in
particular, the rule concerning navigation in narrow channels.
Unless otherwise specified, the first ship to arrive is the first ship to be assisted.
In the Western harbours, the priorities are as follows :
v vessels operating immediately;
v between several vessels working immediately, the container ships have priority.
v for vessels inward, the passage of Omega buoy or abeam Cape Couronne if the vessel
isn’t compelled to fairway navigation ;
v for ships and barges from the Rhône, the leaving lock time or reporting time when
being to the lock waiting station of the Rhône river ;
v for ships at berth or at anchor, the order of any maneuvering assistance (pilotage,
boatmen, tugs, ...).
Unless specifically approved by the port VTS, the ship loses her priority if she cleared off the
above mentioned area.
In the Eastern harbours, ships are usually assisted in their order of arrival at the pilot station,
unless otherwise directed by the VTS (e.g., Berths 54/57, the first ship assisted is the one
having to dock upwind).
Between ships of the same rank, except contrary agreement of the agents (which coordinate
with the terminal operators), priority will be given to the first ship in, or according to the
order of requests for ships already in port, at anchor or docked.
The docking order may be changed at any time by the port VTS, and in particular :
v for reasons of safety or traffic control,
v based on realistic possibilities of use of all resources available, especially the tugs,
v to optimize the port services (towing, mooring, pilotage),
v for health or medical reasons,
v for weather conditions,
v for emergency reasons on board or ashore,
v for cargo reasons (animals, ...),
v on specific request of a terminal operator,
v for any reason deemed necessary.
Regardless of the berth or anchorage where they are located, ships awaiting orders will only
be processed for docking once they have declared that they are no longer awaiting orders.
The specific rules for movements are provided in Inter Prefectural Order of the 16th of
January 2012.
53
8.5 Mandatory Tugs assistance
For vessels carrying oil, gaz or chemical products, at least one tug is compulsory for
entrance, departure and maneuvering, as shown below.
Exceptions are subject to HM or his representant approuval.

• Vessels of LOA < = 100m
• Vessels of LOA < = 100m
nota : forbidden access to
ships L > 130m.
• 2 tugs at least.
8.6 Spacing of vessels to be respected
As a general rule, the minimum distance to be maintained between ships is not subject to
regulations and is dependent on good seamanship.
That’s 0.5 miles in the dredged channel at Fos for large ships and deep draught vessels (see
Inter Prefectural Order of the 16th of January 2012).
8.7 Stand-by anchorage
The anchorage areas are defined on the nautical charts and in Inter Prefectural Order of
the 16th of January 2012.
Minimum safety circle radius to be used around the anchorage point of a ship in these
zones :
v for a ship less than or equal to 200 metres in length, a radius of 0.3 mile,
v for a ship between 200 and 300 metres in length, a radius of 0.4 mile,
v for a ship greater than 300 metres in length, a radius of 0.5 mile,
v there is an anchoring zone in the south of the West anchorage that is reserved for large
LNG ships longer than 300 m (centre: Latitude: 43°19’8N, Long.: 004°56’E, radius: 0.5 mile).
v the North anchorage is reserved for ships of less than 200 m in length and forbidden
for LNG carriers.

(3)
Nota : To take into account the instability of wind conditions in the Gulf of Fos, the velocity
to be used is the average velocity measured at the berth over a period of 30 minutes at the
time the decision is made on docking or departing.
OPERATIONNAL LIMITS FOR DOCKING IN EASTERN HARBOURS
Two tugs are always available. Whenever a ship’s port call requires more resources, the
ship’s agent shall order one or two additional tugs from the towing department at least 24
hours in advance.
Maximum acceptable limits for ships (Ro-Ro ferries and cruise liners) in the Grande
Joliette Harbour :
v Berths 70 - 86: 180 m in length and wind less than or equal to 40 knots ;
v Berths 93 - 95: 180 m in length, extendible to 200 m on condition of wind velocity less
than or equal to 30 knots and by derogation.
Navigation conditions for vessels of more than 200 m LOA, crossing the Pinède Bridge:
v Mean crosswinds equals or lower than 15 knots,
v Mandatory assistance of 2 tugs if mean winds from other sectors of more than 25
knots.
These limits are subject to the condition that the ships are equipped with good
56
manoeuvring capabilities, both in terms of propulsion and rudder.
v For the other port zones of the Eastern Harbours, the limits will be studied by the VTS
on a case-by-case basis, following appraisal by the pilots, taking all relevant factors into
consideration.
8.9 Shifting
Every ship alongside wanting to shift along the same pier, must be authorized in advance
by the HM.
Shifting along the same pier without a pilot may be authorised by the VTS based on
weather conditions if the ship does not take on a tug, nor to let go all lines.
Before the appointed time, the vessel must contact the VTS centre (on VHF), to confirm
the movement and communicate her draught.
8.10 Dry Docking
Ships that have been announced in the port computer system, that have been allocated
a stocks and keelblock plan by the Dry Docks department and that have received the
Dry dock operator’s approval may enter into dry dock. The properties of any ship whose
atmosphere may be hazardous must be checked by a certified chemist. In principle, a ship
with hazardous properties will not be admitted to dry dock. The naval repair business is
regulated by the Ministerial Decree of 22 October 1982.
Astern entry into Dry docks 8, 9 and 10 is subject to prior notification to the pilotage
services and shall only be possible when the wind is calm.
8.11 Specific signals and lights
The movements of vessels in port are governed by the maritime lights and signals in
place (see Inter Prefectural Order of the 16th of January 2012, and nautical charts and
instructions).
However, the orders given by the HM override the signalling.
8.12 Underkeel clearance (UKC)
Vessels in movement must keep an UKC of 1/10th of the draught allowed. For vessels with

PORT SAFETY
August 2016
59
The most important factor is the rapidityspeed of the alarm !
If you or a crew member discover a fire outbreak, on board or on land, or any other incident, the
alarm must immediately be given by calling one of the following numbers :
v Western harbours:
v Eastern harbours:
« Fos Port Control » VHF : 12 or +33 (0)4 42 40 60 60
Fire brigade : +33 (0)4 42 40 61 05
« Marseille Port Control » VHF : 12 or +33 (0)4 91 39 41 41 / +33 (0)4 91 39 41 42
Fire brigade : 18 or 112 b mobile phone
Otherwise, attract attention on by repeatedly activating the siren or whistle blasts at regular
intervals, and use all regulation distress calls compatible with the surrounding environment
and circumstances.
Information to provide :
v the location of the incident and/or name of the ship,
v the nature of the incident.
If an incident occurs on board a ship, the captain shall take all initial emergency measures
to control it. He shall immediately alert the port VTS, which will pass on the alarm.
If the ship is located in the maritime part of the MRRZ, the ship’s captain shall also alert
the corresponding CROSS directly.
9.2 Fire and pollution emergency response equipement
The Fire brigade, competent emergency service on the port waters and ships alongside, is
equipped with fight fires and pollutions means.
The port authority contributes financially to the setting up of these means.
In case of major disaster, other means of the state could be used.
In the Western harbors, a protocol stated that six harbor’s tugs provide the fire fight
means.
The establishment of oil booms are made with the help of the mooring men boats
Exercises : Training is made every 2 weeks. You’ll be asked to participate to these exercises :
it doesn’t mean any control, but a cooperation that will allow rescue units to practice on
different ships, to enhance their experience and skill. It is important that you welcome
positively these requests.
Oil and chemical terminals are equipped with human and material means for the fight
against sinister. Please refer to the terminal information guide.
60
9.3 Coordination of emergency resources
The Director of Emergency Operations (DEO) is responsible for coordinating actions to
handle accidents. To the extent necessary, the ship’s captain shall provide assistance to
actions taken by the Chief of Emergency Operations (CEO), who answers to the DEO.
On ships at dock or mooring and on the waterways, this mission is the responsibility of
the maritime Fire Brigade.
The firemen and emergency team chiefs will assist the ship’s captain by providing their
advice and their resources, both human and material, and will make the final decision
concerning the undertaking of any actions that might threaten their own safety.
Prior to the arrival of emergency teams, the ship’s captain must check and complete the
means of boarding (ladders and gangways) on both seaward and landward sides.
He must provide the emergency team leaders, upon their arrival on board, the ship’s
configuration and her stowage plan (clearly indicating the location of dangerous
substances, areas presenting explosive atmospheres, as well as stability curves).
The captains of neighbouring ships must assemble their crew and take all precautionary
measures required or ordered by the Harbour Master. They must be “ready for
maneuvering”. No movement of the ship can be done without order or approval of the
HM.
The Harbour Master, if necessary, shall take all initial measures that are strictly and
immediately required until the arrival of the Chief of Emergency Operations.
The role of the Port Officier is to assist the firemen and other authorities in charge of the
operations.
9.4 Emergency scenarios
PROCEDURE IN CASE A SIREN IS SOUNDED
The dock berths in the Western harbours of the Port of Marseille Fos are included in
the perimeter of application of the Special Intervention Plan (SIP) for
facilities classified under the Seveso rule regime - AS threshold.
If there is a major calamity, the alarm is sounded by means of a siren that
gives off the following signals :
National alarm signal
All clear signal
On the first Wednesday of every month, the
sirens are tested at noon.
61
...9.4 Emergency scenarios
If a siren is sounded or the ship receives information following a gas leak, for example, all
ships should obey the following instructions :
v take initial measures to protect and confine the ship,
v stop commercial operations,
v depending on the circumstances and the weather, eventually disconnect the ship for
those concerned,
v monitor instructions broadcast by Radio France on the frequencies 91.3 or 97.4 MHz,
v keep watch via VHF (Channel 12) and by phone.
PROCEDURE IN CASE SHIP HAS TO BE EVACUATED
In the case of an incident on board a ship, boat or floating unit, on port docks or in the
neighbourhood, the captains or owners of the ships, boats or floating units shall call their
crews together and be ready to take all measures ordered by the Chief of Emergency
Operations.
If the ship has to be evacuated :
v shut down all engines,
v take only the utmost necessities,
v lock the doors,
v the port authority or the municipality will provide public transport if possible, as will be
announced by the patrol cars or boats.
SPILLS
All spills must be reported to the port VTS by VHF Channel 12 or by phone.
If any spill occurs on board or around a ship, when the VTS Centre is contacted, the
following information must be provided in precise terms :
v the name of the ship,
v the name of the berth or its exact position,
v the type and quantity of the spill,
v clean-up and containment measures already taken, as well as the type of commercial
operations under way.
COLLISIONS - GROUNDING
All movements of seagoing vessels and floating units are subject to authorisation by the
port VTS and executed in compliance with international and local regulations in effect in
the port, under the responsibility of the ship’s captain, who will receive information from
the port VTS about traffic under way and known hazards, as well as any special local
circumstances.
In case of the loss of an anchor or chain, running aground, collision or in any other way
out of control or in situations that may endanger the safety of shipping, contact the port
VTS by VHF (Channel 12). Details to be reported very precisely : the name of the ship, its
exact position and the nature of situation.

PORT SECURITY
August 2016
63
To allow you to become familiar with the security procedures in force for the entire Port
of Marseille-Fos, please find below the key information on security procedures in force.
The GPMM fully complies with the ISPS Code. It holds a certificate of compliance issued
by the governing authority.
Ships subject to this code must present a document to the Harbour Master’s Office
justifying that the ship possesses a currently valid security certificate and the name of the
authority that issued it, as well as the security information stipulated in Article 6 of the
abovementioned EC Regulation 725/2004 of the European Parliament and Council, of
31 March 2004, or, for ships making short trips covered by agreements concerning other
security arrangements and equivalent arrangements in terms of security as set forth in
Article 5 of said Regulation, providing all information requested under those agreements
or arrangements.
Where no ISPS compliance certificate is submitted, the Harbour Master may refuse the
ship entry to the port.
In the event of a lack of ISPS compliance found by an authorized government agent on a
ship already moored in the port, the Harbour Master’s Office may demand that the ship
leave the port.
Manpower and material means contributing to security (barriers, guard service, nautical
monitoring, diving assistance, etc.) can be provided to the ship’s captain via the GPMM
and/or specialised companies.
These services shall be ordered by the ship’s agent at the ship’s expense and shall be under
the responsibility of its captain.
In accordance with the ISPS Code, all access to the ship must be strictly controlled.
10.2 ISPS level of the port facility
The ISPS level of security applied in the port is fixed by the French government. Incoming
ships will be informed about that by the Harbour Master’s Office, via VHF, on first contact
or if requested. It shall also be communicated to the ship by the shipping agent.
During layover, the ship shall be kept informed of any change in the level of security of the
port facilities in first instance by the port security agent. The Harbour Master’s Office will
repeat this information..
64
10.3 Security declaration
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Port of Marseille Fos has 32 public and private port facilities. All port facilities are in
compliance with the ISPS Code.
After analysing security information submitted to it, the Harbour Master may dictate that
the Port Facility Security Agent implement special security measures. A Declaration of
Security will then be drawn up.
Under the circumstances provided by the ISPS Code, the ship’s captain may request that
he and the port facility security agent complete a declaration of security jointly.
The Harbour Master’s Office may require ships to supply a declaration of security in the
following cases :
v where the port installation is operated at an ISPS level above the one initially declared
by the ship,
v where there is a threat to the security or a security incident involving the ship.
The names and contact information of the various port facility security agents may be
obtained from the HMO or from the Port Security Agent who keeps this list up to date.
EMBARKING OR DISEMBARKING OF CREW AND VISITORS
Embarking and disembarking of crew and/or visitors should be reported to the Port
Facility Security Agent of the port facility called at, by e-mail or fax.
STORES AND BUNKERS
The port facility security agent must be informed, as soon as possible of any planned
bunkering and/or shipchandling movements, by e-mail or fax.
Any operation by barge must have obtained authorisation from the Harbour Master’s
Office, which may give, if deemed necessary, any specific instructions.

How to connect a tugboat ?
The ship’s captain, on pilot’s advice, will order the number of tugs required for the
manoeuvre.
Upon the ship’s arrival, the Tug master and the pilot of the ship to be assisted will
discuss where the tugs will be made fast, depending on available type of tug and type of
manoeuvre.
If your ship has specific locations from where the tug can push, please so advise the
pilot and the tug master.
Mention the location clearly. Example: centre lead forward, starboard shoulder, centre
lead aft, etc.
The normal way of towing, is that the tug will use its own line, except in rare cases. The
towing line comes from the tugs fore or aft winch, depending on the type of tugboat.
Towing on the winch makes the tug very flexible. Depending on the situation the tug will
adjust the length of the towline. A short towline gives a quicker response.
The towline is brought on board the ship by using a heaving line. Keep ready extra
heaving lines, as the heaving line needs to be thrown to the tugboat (and therefore
needs a monkey fist). The extra heaving lines can be used in case the first throw misses.
Do not add any weight to the normal weight of the monkey fist as this is a danger to
the crew on the tugboat !
The tugboat’s crew will connect a messenger line to the heaving line, which can be heaved
in by hand to speed up the operation.
Do not let sleeves or splices hang overboard, nor in the fairlead.
Before each manoeuver, the crew of the ship to be assisted, has to prepare two full heaving
lines on each manoeuver station. If missed, when sending the first heaving line, the ship’s
crew must send immediately the second one in order to avoid another approach of the tug.
Special attention should be paid when hooking the tug to the ship’s bow. Its evolution
below the ship’s bow involves a risk, due to the interaction effects and the risk will increase
71
...11.4 Tugs
with the ship’s speed. Consequently, we recommend a maximum speed of 6 knots when
the towline is hooked at ship’s bow. In other positions, the tug can be tied up with a speed
of 8 knots maximum.
Avoid major changes in engine speed, as well as maximum rudder. If the tugboats has slack
on its line and the ship’s crew is in the process of connecting the towline, the wash of the
propeller will affect the tug’s manoeuvrability and the towline might become tight again.
This is a big risk for the ship’s crew. For this reason try to maintain a constant speed !
Stand away from the towing cable during this operation.
How to communicate with the tugboat ?
Maintain good communication at all times.
Advise the captain of the tugboat, via the pilot, about your intended manoeuvres.
In particular, any changes in engine speed must be relayed very clearly. Remember that
the tugboat captain is responsible for his own vessel and crew, and will act accordingly
when necessary.
Thus, if your ship makes an unexpected manoeuvre and the captain of the tug gets trapped,
he will let his line go to save his ship and crew.
The working channel for the tugboats is VHF 6. The same channel is also used for
boatmen.
When working with more than one tug : first call one tug and give an order. Wait for the
confirmation of the first tug before calling the second.
How to disconnect a tug boat ?
v Never let go the tug(s) too early: Wait until your ship is safely in.
v Never let go the tug when your engine is in reverse position.
v When the tugboat uses its own towing wire, be aware that you can let the go the tugs
line only when the tug is in such a position as not to foul its own propeller.
v Remind the sailors to lower the line slowly. Remember that the larger the tug, the heavier
its equipement, the more difficult it is to handle the line.
v Avoid starting or stopping the engine and avoid maximum rudder. If the tugboat has
slack on its line and your ship’s crew are in the process of letting go the tug line, the wash
of the propeller will affect the tugboat’s manoeuvrability and the line might become tight
again. This is a big risk for the ship’s crew. Try to keep a constant speed.
11.5 Mooring
Mooring services are provided exclusively by a company that has an agreement of the
Port of Marseille Fos to do so.
Please see : http://www.lamanage-marseillefos.coop/
If the ship does not use the mooring services, mooring operations may be done by the
ship’s crew, acting under the captain’s orders, contingent on :
v the crew being sufficient in number to simultaneously provide the personnel required
on land and on board, and to do the work safely.
v passage from ship to land secured and under entire responsability of the captain and
owner.
72
...11.5 Mooring
Nota : this practice is not recommended in the lock of Port Saint Louis du Rhône which
doesn’t allow the passage ashore safely.
Under certain circumstances or at the request of the pilot, for safety reasons, the Harbour
Master’s Office may make the use of the mooring services compulsory, at the captain’s
expense.
Any mooring lines break or abnormality should be immediately reported to the HMO. The
Captain shall make every effort to resume mooring promptly (start of the bow thrusters,
engine ready, ask help of port services).
When mooring, follow the pilot’s directions and recommendations from the Port
Officers.
All mooring operations are to be conducted under the responsibility of the ship’s
captain. Once moored, the captain is entirely responsible for the ship’s behaviour
alongside.
Meteorological warnings are provided by the port VTS or port officers. Captains must
take all necessary precautions to reinforce mooring.
The working VHF channel to be used during this manoeuvre is VHF 6.
MOORING GUIDELINES FOR MASTERS
Ships’ mooring lines must be in good condition and must not have exceeded their average
service life or the number of cycles of use for their class.
The mooring must be constantly watched and if necessary reinforced by the ship crew.
If necessary, the morring must be reinforced in case of strong wind notice. Captains must
care especially on main wind exposed berths (coast wind).
The spring lines and, to a lesser degree, the head and stern lines, must be as parallel as
possible to the ship’s axis.
Shifting of big vessels (+300m) :
Shifting on more than 15 m of a vessel having a LOA of more than 300 m must be done
with pilot on board and boatmen.
Container terminals in dock 2 and berths on dock 3
On large container ships, mooring lines must be long enough to stir correctly (front).
Mooring lines must be strong anough to avoid lenghtwise moves when other ships passing
by :
- either by increasing the strenght on constant tension winches
- either by putting on brake
- either by rotating some mooring lines.
Vessels with high weight must take same disposals as container ships.
Oil terminals
Ships carrying dangerous or puolluting goods in bulk, the use is to refer to the ISGOTT
recommendations (see table on next page). Steel mooring lines must not be belayed on
the tank decks.

terminal. This arrangement must be noted on the ship/shore check list.
Ship captains’ attention is drawn to the risk of damage to arms or hoses if their moorings do
not perform properly.
SAFETY TOW LINES (fire protection pendants)
Ships and boats containing dangerous or polluting materials must be ready for towage in
case of a fire on board or nearby.
A wire towing cable with eye must always be available fore and aft, on the side opposite
the berth, with the eye suspended at approximately one metre above the water level, so as
to be immediately used by tugs, in case of need. This applies to :
v all ships transporting dangerous goods of IMO Classes 2, 3, 6.1 and 8 in bulk ;
v all ships transporting IMO Class 1 dangerous goods, as well as the following UN
numbers for Classes 5.1 and 9: 1942, 2067, 2072, 2426 and 3375.

Then, the authorisation is issued by the cargo receiver or its representative, with the
approval of the sector chief managing the petroleum facilities of the port or terminal
concerned. In the event of disagreement between the parties, authorisation may only be
given after checking with the Harbour Master’s Office.
The use of any unusual procedure shall be subject to prior authorisation by the Harbour
Master’s Office (mobile unit, submersible pump, booster or mobile reheating, inerting by
mobile unit, etc.).
The temperature of the cargo must be compatible with the planned operation.
A ship that is not redy for loading will not have priority over another ship for occupying
a berth.
80
...13.1 Oil/chemical tanker terminals
VAPOUR RETURN LINE
The gas exhaust lines of the tanks must be equipped with a coupling for connecting a line
of vapour return at any time that the flammable or toxic nature of the cargo excludes the
possibility of vapour emmision above the tanks deck under the conditions stipulated by
MARPOL Convention Annex II and the I.B.C. and B.C.H. codes that extend it.
ON-BOARD SLUICE VALVE OPERATIONS DURING LOADING,
UNLOADING OR BUNKERING
During commercial operations, the operation of on-board sluice valves is done under the
responsibility of the ship’s captain. He must ensure that qualified personnel are constantly
and closely monitoring the movements of liquids in the tanks, and he must prevent spills
of petroleum products, unexpected gas releases and, in general, any and all accidents.
The captains of tanker ships are obliged to use their maximum pumping resources (at
least 2/3 of normal flow) to unload their ship, unless the maximum pressure authorised
for petroleum products (10.5 bars) is reached before attaining this flow rate. This clause
does not apply during the drainage phase.
Nota : This criterion is not correct in view of what is practiced in Charters party: since flow
rate is related to counter-pressure, there must be a minimum flow rate or a maximum
unloading time, with said conditions to be observed except in the case where the maximum
pressure is reached at the manifold.
WATCH DUTY IN THE PUMP ROOM
A watch officer shall conduct a safety patrol in the first hour, and then at least every 2
hours, in order to make all verifications required to ensure the safety of the pump room
(heating, leaks, etc.). It is strictly forbidden for anyone to go down into the pump room
without the approval of the chief mate or the captain. The ventilation system must be in
continuous operation and the results of the air quality check in the pump room must be
posted at it’s entrance.
Commercial operations shall be suspended in the event of any abnormality. They shall
only be restarted with approval from the Harbour Master’s Office.
DRAINING THE CARGO HOSES
Draining of the cargo hoses must be done following a procedure approved by the
concerned parties, by considering the facilities available both on land and on board.
In addition :
v compressed air flushing is not permitted for volatile products,
v the operation must be observed throughout by a crew member, next to the manifold,
v the tank designed to receive the drainage must have sufficient capacity to contain
them.
81
...13.1 Oil/chemical tanker terminals
BALLASTING
Before starting ballasting, the officer in charge must ensure that the ballast system to be
used is properly arranged on board.
He must also operate the seawater suction valves properly so as to avoid any leaks.
HULL FATIGUE
Loading, unloading and deballasting operations, or combined operations, must be
performed in such a way as to avoid dangerous strains on the hulls. The Harbour Master’s
Office may, at any time, have a qualified specialist conduct a check of these stresses at the
ship’s expense. The maximum stresses reached during operations must be recorded on
the operations sheet that is to be completed prior to starting commercial operations.
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR DANGER
The terminal operator, the freight forwarder/consignees or the Harbour Master’s Office
may request that the commercial operations be immediately suspended if they deem this
to be necessary.
Information about the safety alarm and emergency cut-off equipment for LPG transfers,
please consult the terminal operators.
Every ship alongside has to provide at least to distincted emergency issues, clearly
indicated, in case of port or ship disaster.
TEMPERATURE OF THE CARGO
v Unless otherwise stated in writing by the operator, the maximum temperature of
products passing through the fuel lines shall be 75°C, and 55°C through crude oil lines ;
v the procedure to be followed for transfers of reheated products is defined by terminal
operators ;
v loading reheated products into tanks that contained flammable products will cause
dilation and then the discharge of vapours into the atmosphere. This should be done
carefully and preferrably after inerting.
THUNDERSTORMS
In case of thunderstorms within a radius of 5000 metres from the ship, all operations must
be stopped and gas discharge valves closed. The taking of samples, customs inspections
and bunkering operations are also to cease.
Storm warnings are transmitted to the VTS tower by the competent department of Météo
France and passed by any means to the terminals and ships.
Shore personnel must be informed of the interruption of commercial operations ordered by the
Master.
CALM - EXCESS WIND
In accordance with the recommendations of ISGOTT, which must be met in general by
the terminal and the ship’s captain, all ballasting and loading operations and any other
operations likely to give off inflammable or toxic gases into the atmosphere are forbidden
when there is no wind.
Terminal and/or Masters of ships must interrupt commercial operations when they
consider that weather conditions do not permit these to be carried out normally.
82
STRIKES
In the event of a strike by the ship’s crew or personnel on land, the ship will be disconnected
at the request of the Harbour Master’s Office and safety measures will be taken, eventually
including the removal of gangways and placement of the ship on the road.
13.2 OBO Ships
The OBO carriers must be inspected by a chemist approved by the port authority before
berthing. They must obtain a certificate stating that they are carrying neither inflammable
gas, nor cargo likely to produce it.
On receipt of the certificate, the Harbour Master’s Office will authorise or not the berthing
of the ship at a dry bulk terminal.
Following authorisation by the Harbour Master’s Office, specific regulations may be
applied to ships of this type, in order to neutralise any risks from the slop-tanks.
If the chemist is unable to visit the ship before entering the port, the ship can be authorised
to berth provided that :
v the Master has signalled before arrival that the vessel is gas free,
v the chemist makes the inspection before any movement of the hatch-covers,
v the slop-tans, if they exist, must be inerted and marked.
Notwithstanding, if ship appears to be not gas-free, she leaves the berth, when ordered by
the HM’s Office, at the ship’s expenses.
13.3 Loading and unloading procedures on tanker ships
It is forbidden to :
1/ use open fire apart from closed compartments of the engine room and kitchens ;
2/ smoke on deck, in alleyways, outside of special areas designated on the berth and
enclosed spaces of the oil terminal ;
3/ carry out repairs that immobilise the engine or reduce it’s power, the windlass and the
steeling gear, or that require the use of open fires (welding), unless a special authorisation
has been requested and obtained from the Harbour Master’s Office ;
4/ perform sweeping of the boilers, fume ducts or motor exhaust systems that releases
soot into the atmosphere ;
5/ perform steam cleaning and washing of cargo and bunker tanks ;
6/ vent and clean the tanks without special authorisation from the Harbour Master’s
Office ;
7/ load and ballast above the tank hatches ;
8/ initiate any engine test during commercial operations. Off commercial operations,
tests shall be subject to prior authorisation by the Harbour Master’s Office ;
9/ stay alongside of commercial operations without special authorisation from the
Harbour Master’s Office ;
10/ except in emergencies, lower a salvage boat without the authorisation of the Harbour
Master’s Office ;
83
...13.3 Loading and
unloading procedures
11/ perform work on board in a hazardous area using a tool likely to produce sparks ;
12/ spray water with a very high pressure pump into tanks and spaces likely to house a
flammable or explosive atmosphere ;
13/ use electronic devices (mobile phones, cameras, video cameras, etc.) that are not
ATEX certified models.
13.4 Tank cleaning procedures
Perform venting, washing and cleaning tanks and holds are subject to authorisation by
the HM’s Office. Certificate of inerting and venting must be issued by an expert agreed by
the HMO. These certificates are valid for 24 hours.
WASHING WITH WATER
Except by express permission from the Harbour Master’s Office, only those ships
possessing a stationary inert gas system may use water to wash compartments that have
contained a petroleum product with flash point below 60°C. No such washing shall be
undertaken without permission from the Harbour Master’s Office.
Using cold water to wash a non-inerted tank may be done with authorisation from the
Harbour Master’s Office, but only one tank at a time, and the flow rate of the water must
be less than 60 cbm/hour.
Hot water may be used to wash or rinse compartments that have contained a petroleum
product with flash point greater than 60°C after authorisation from the Harbour Master’s
Office. This washing must be done one tank at a time, with all tank hatches closed.
No release to the open air or discharge into the sea is authorised while alongside.
CRUDE OIL WASHING
The procedures to be used for crude oil washing are those stipulated by the 1974 SOLAS
Convention and its 1978 amendment.
Any crude oil washing operation must be subject to a prior request made to the Harbour
Master’s Office before the ship’s arrival. This operation will be prohibited if the ship does
not meet the requirements for producing and maintaining inerting.
The Harbour Master’s Office shall access at any time to control devices on board. It may
request the assistance of a certified chemist, as well as the crew on board in order to
perform the verifications it deems necessary.
It may also check the engine inert gas analyser.
In any part of every cargo or slop tank, the air must be kept at a level of oxygen not exceeding
7% in volume and at a positive pressure at all times during commercial operations. The
oxygen level at production unit issue must not exceed 5%.
In case of production of the inert gas stops, unloading shall be immediately stopped. It
may only recommence with authorisation from the Harbour Master’s Office and when
the abovementioned conditions have been adequately met.

begins 6 meters from the end of the cargo tank or slop tank located farthest to the rear.
8. GOODS BY BARGE : only one barge coupled to the ship.
9. GAS CARRIER CONNECTED : no barge alongside, even for unloading sludge. Once
commercial operations on a gas carrier have ceased and the cargo lines have been inerted,
the Harbour Master’s Office may authorise a supply operation under the same conditions
as for a disconnected ship after having verified that pumping has stopped and inertage
has been performed.
On crude oil/chemicals carriers with an inert gas system, the Harbour Master’s Office
may permit the use of the on-board crane located at the rear of the tanks deck.
10. Whenever commercial operations have ceased on board a oil/chemicals tanker, the
Harbour Master’s Office may authorise a supply operation under the same conditions as
for a disconnected ship after having verified that all pumping has effectively stopped.
11. On large vessels with LOA permitting, authorisation may be given for 2 barges to be
alongside to the ship, moored up one behind the other.
12. During the commercial operations of a ship handling a product likely to give off
flammable gases, authorisation may be given to connect and disconnect the supplier after
verification that the connections and tools used are explosion-proof. Authorisation may
similarly be given to connect and disconnect the FLUXEL terminal facilities where it is
assumed that the personnel are working with ADF (explosion-proof ) equipment and
under proper safety conditions.
13. Piers H and H-bis, A2, A4: the deposit of sludges by truck at the end of the pier from
the ship’s stern is authorised.
14.3 Lowering boats and rafts
The VTS tower may authorise lowering boats or rafts, depending on the circumstances
(except for Freefall systems). The boat must not move away from the ship more than
strictly necessary.
89
14.4 Maintenance and repairs
Any request for work to be done during a commercial call is subject to authorisation by
the Harbour Master’s Office.
Requests must be accompanied by a written description of the procedure to be performed.
Special attention will be paid to hot work, with a prior visit by a port officer who may impose
an inspection by a chemist agreed by the port. It should be noted that there is a simplified
procedure that allows ships calling frequently at Marseille to obtain authorisation to start
routine works prior to an eventual visit by a port officer.
This works are done under the responsability of the owner or his representant. HM must
be informed about the begining and ending of the operations.
Testing of the engine must be approved by the HM and can be done in special places
only.
14.5 Underwater inspection/work
Inspection and underwater work must be requested in advance to the “Port Scheduling
Office” of the Harbour Master’s Office. Any work undertaken shall be in strict compliance

INSPECTIONS
August 2016
91
This section describes all relevant inspections that one can expect in the Port of MarseilleFos, under the French State and the port authority.
15.2 Port state control
Inspections under the auspices of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of
Port State Control are performed by Maritime Affairs inspectors.
During these inspections, they may detain the vessel to force the correction, of the most
serious abnormalities.

15.3 Other inspections
During his call, each vessel is likely to be visited by representatives of the Harbour Master’
Office, as part of its prerogatives.
The ship must be able to present the required documents and demonstate compliance with
the provisions taken on board towards the regulations and other applicable instructions.
The Harbour Master’s Office may prohibit the departure of a ship if its condition suggests
that it cannot sail without danger to itself, its crew, passengers, navigational traffic safety,
public health or the environment. This ship shall be retained until the maritime authority
responsible for its inspection or safety (CSN) has declared the ship fit to sail.
The Harbour Master’s Office may order other inspections in certain cases (grain unloading, etc.).
92
15.4 Fuel sulphur content
The Port of Marseille-Fos applies the regulations for the prevention of air pollution by
ships, derived from international maritime regulations and applicable to all ships. This
means, in particular, Annex VI to MARPOL Convention 73/78.
The maximum values of sulfur content of marine fuels should be: :
v 3,5% from 2012 to 2019 ;
v 0,5% from 2020.
In SECA’s (Channel, North Sea and Baltic) these values are reduced to 1% until 2014 and
0.1% from 2015.
Moreover, European legislation by Directive 1999/32/EC as amended, imposes the
following values :
v 1,5% for passenger ships on regular lines ;
v 0,1% for ships at berth or on the road.
This European directive should be revised to include lower values in the next years.
Inspections are carried on board by Port State Control. These controls are essentially
documentaries, ship documents must be properly kept, recording the operations of fuel
changing.
Member States must: :
v maintain a register of local bunker suppliers of marine fuel ;
v ensure that the sulfur content of all marine fuels sold on their territory is documented
by the supplier on a bunker delivery note, accompanied by a sealed sample signed by the
representative of the receiving vessel ;
v take appropriate action against suppliers of marine fuel which has been shown to deliver
fuel that does not comply with the specification stated on the bunker delivery notes ;
v ensure that regularization measures are taken to achieve compliance marine fuel and
found non-compliant.
Member States shall ensure that bunker oil (fuel) not in conformity with the directive are
not sold on their territory.
15.5 Smokes released by vessels
Sweeping of the boilers, gas or smoke conduits and the emission of dense and nauseous
fumes are prohibited in the port and its surroundings, except with the express authorization
given from the Port authority (art. R.5333-17 of the Transports Regulations Code).
Captains must be especially vigilant about this regulation and take the appropriate
arrangements:
-
On container terminals, if smoke exhausts may impact the crane driver located next
the funnel at the starting of the motors, generators or boilers,
-
On cruise terminals, for they are located next the urban areas.
93
The port, meaning to enhance air quality in the port area, wishes to develop in partnership with
the ship-owners, a policy of shore powered vessels, already available on berths 68/70/74.

PORT SERVICES
August 2016
95
In a non-exhaustive way, because all requests can be considered, the Port of Marseille-Fos
is capable of providing ship captains with all port services available in major maritime
ports, meaning :
16.2 Waste
PORT RECEPTION FACILITIES FOR SHIP-GENERATED WASTE AND CARGO
The Port of Marseille-Fos plan for ship waste disposal aims to follow the provisions of
MARPOL 73/78 and European Directive 2000/59/EC, dated 2000, November the 27th,
and its transposition into French law.
In accordance with this regulation, the port has designated a certain number of companies
which are entitled to collect or receive and process waste from ships.
The price of waste collection services may be obtained via ship’s agents.
Waste collection is done by trucks, barges or directly by pipeline for the Fos and Lavera
deballasting stations.
PORT WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Like all other ports in the European Union, the port of Marseille Fos has implemented a
Port Waste Management Plan, approved by the prefect on the 4th of january 2013.
It may be consulted on the Website «www.marseille-port.fr».
The ship’s agent must provide the Waste Declaration in the “Escale” port software 24
hours prior to the ship’s arrival.
FEES FOR SHIP-GENERATED WASTE
Our fee schedule is intended to encourage ships to discharge their waste at our facilities.
Fees based on a ship’s size are included in the port fees and cover only those ships not
discharging their operating waste at port facilities. In the event of waste disposal, the cost
of the service provided must be paid directly to the waste collection company based on
the type and quantity deposited by the ship.
Any ships sailing a regular line with regular and frequent port calls, and that give sufficient
evidence of waste disposal in a port of the European Community may be exempted from
the waste disposal fee.
