2. Information for Agents

2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 The Port Authority of NSW is committed to the provision of safe and efficient port operations.

2.1.2 Vessels’ agents play key and strategic roles in helping the Authority in its commitment. Information supplied by agents directly influences both the time and the manner in which vessels move as well as the pilotage, towage, lines and stevedoring services provided by the various providers.

2.1.3 Insufficient and/or incorrect information or notices can adversely, at times severely, disrupt shipping operations not only to the vessel concerned but also flow on to other vessels.

2.2 Agents’ Responsibilities 2.2.1 Agents are required to be registered with ShIPS in order to book the movement of vessels in Sydney Harbour and Port Botany,

2.2.2 Agents are responsible for checking and ensuring that vessel information (length breadth, keel to truck etc) are correct before submitting a booking.

2.2.3 Agents are responsible for checking and ensuring that the correct number and type of tugs have been booked for the movement. Agents should refer to the tug assessment for the vessel and if none refer to Harbour Master’s Directions section 2.101

2.2.4 Agents are responsible for making visiting ships’ masters aware of their responsibilities.

2.3 Sydney Integrated Port System (ShIPS) 2.3.1 To assist agents and service providers, the Port Authority operates the Sydney Integrated Port System (ShIPS) which is an internet based computerised system that:  Co-ordinates vessel movement schedules and bookings, allowing port service providers to confirm their ability to provide services in a real time environment  Facilitates the real time lodgement and approval of work permit and bunker applications  Enables the real time lodgement and acknowledgement of Dangerous Goods declarations  Allows the real time lodgement of dangerous goods information by agents or freight forwarders  Allows Port Authority to provide dangerous goods information to emergency services  Allows , government agencies and associated industries to view vessel schedules and related information

2.3.2 ShIPS is operated 24 hours a day throughout the year by the VTS Centre.

2.3.3 Use of ShIPS is a compulsory Authority requirement for all accredited agents and service providers.

2.3.4 All movement bookings, work or bunker agreement applications and dangerous goods lodgements should be made via the ShIPS system.

2.3.5 Familiarisation and operator training for ShIPS can be arranged through the VTS Manager.

Port Information 2015 Page 11 of 36

2.4 Booking Guidelines 2.4.1 Arrivals

2.4.1.1 Estimated time of arrivals and Notification of Arrivals can be placed in ShIPS at any time.

2.4.1.2 Agents are encouraged to place the ETA in as far in as possible.

2.4.1.3 Agents should also refer to the :  BLB Booking Guidelines  Passenger Vessel Protocol  the Botany times Between Movements Table

2.4.1.4 Booked movements can be placed in ShIPS up to 60 hours in advance.

2.4.1.5 The following vessels may be booked more than 60 hours in advance.  Tankers - Tidal and / or daylight restricted  Passenger Ships  Vessels with a 16 hour turn-a-round or less (esp. chemical tankers, container vessels with 2 shifts)

2.4.1.6 These vessels only maintain priority for their initial booking.

2.4.1.7 Allocation of services (the processing of that Booked Movement) will only take place a maximum of 18 hours prior to movement.

2.4.2 Departures

2.4.2.1 Estimated time of departure can be placed in ShIPS at any time.

2.4.2.2 Agents are encouraged to place the ETD in as far in advance as possible.

2.4.2.3 Booked departure movements can be placed in ShIPS once the vessel is alongside and has commenced cargo (or if AMSA detained, only once the detention has been lifted).

2.4.2.4 The following vessel movements can be booked at any time without restriction,  Tankers – tidal or daylight restricted  Passenger Ships  Vessels with a 16 hour turn-a-round or less (especially chemical tankers, container vessels with 2 shifts

2.4.3.5 These vessels only maintain priority for their initial booking.

2.4.3.6 Allocation of services (the processing of that Booked Movement ) will only take place a maximum of 18 hours prior to movement.

2.5 Sailing times 2.5.1 It must be remembered that in booking a departure time, cargo completion time is not the sole factor to be taken into consideration.

2.5.2 Before lodging a departure time discuss the situation with the Master and . Every must be made to establish a time that is realistic.

Port Information 2015 Page 12 of 36

2.5.3 Factors that will influence departure are:  Container ships – lashing to complete, reefers to be checked  Tankers – hose disconnection, cargo samples to be inspected  Bulk carriers – hatches to close, grabs and cranes to stow, draft survey paperwork to finalise  Ship’s navigation and propulsion equipment to be tested  Bunkers/repairs/stores and any other vessel’s requirements to complete  Ship’s crew may be ashore, so it may be difficult to bring the sailing time ahead

2.5.4 Please note it is in everyone’s interest that the agent contact Sydney Ports VTS on 9296 4003 to provide the final confirmation (2nd confirmation) for a departure movement.

2.5.5 Agents are to note and advise Masters that vessels with incomplete lashing will not be allowed to sail. Refer to Marine Orders Part 42

2.6 Minimum notice for a booking 2.6.1 Inwards and outwards movements may be booked at a minimum of two hours notice, subject to the availability of pilotage, towage and mooring services. The Port Authority of NSW will co-ordinate the booking’s confirmation as per the Agent/Master’s request.

2.7 Booking Changes 2.7.1 It is acknowledged, for various reasons, that a vessel’s nominated booking time, is liable to change. Whilst The Port Authority of NSW require a minimum of 2 (two) hours notice for such changes, Agents/Masters are requested to provide as much notice as practicable.

2.7.1 If services attend a removal or departure movement and the vessel is not ready to depart the wharf within 20 minutes the services may be re-allocated to the next movement. Charges will apply.

2.7.3 Agents should note that bookings changed within 2 (two) hours of the booked time will incur a deferral charge.

2.8 Updating Bookings/Information 2.8.1 An agent can update booking details, movement times, draft, displacement and services required at any time via ShIPS.

2.8.2 Sydney Ports VTS can update this information for the agent if he/she is remote from computer access. Agents are encouraged to update as and when relevant information becomes available.

2.9 Draft 2.9.1 The importance of accuracy when reporting a vessel’s draft cannot be overstated.

2.9.2 A vessel’s draft is a factor that influences the nomination of its berth, the timing of its movement and the appropriate allocation of the number and class of tugs attending the vessel. It is also one of the important factors that affect a vessel’s manoeuvring when in enclosed waters.

2.10 Displacement 2.10.1 Accurate displacement information is necessary to correctly assign proper towage and appropriately licensed Pilots to the vessel.

2.10.2 Incorrect displacement notification can result in delays to the movement of the vessel and consequent service provider deferral charges.

Port Information 2015 Page 13 of 36

2.11 Thrusters 2.11.1 Thruster availability and capacity will influence tug allocation .An agent must advise Sydney Ports VTS if a thruster is not fully operational.

2.12 Tugs 2.12.1 Agents must note that the Marine Safety Act 1998 s88 provides the Harbour Master with the following powers: (1) The harbour master of any port may direct and control the following: (a)the time and manner in which any vessel may enter or leave the port, (b)the navigation and other movements of any vessel within the port or any part of the port, (c)the position where and the manner in which any vessel may anchor or be secured within the port, (d)the time and manner of the taking in or discharging by any vessel within the port of cargo, stores, fuel, fresh water or water ballast, (e)the securing or removal of any vessel within the port in, from or to any position as the harbour master thinks fit. (2) The harbour master of any port may, as a condition of allowing a vessel to be anchored or secured within a pilotage port, direct that a marine pilot remain on board the vessel while it is so berthed or anchored (whether or not pilotage is compulsory). (3) A harbour master must not give any direction under this section that would result in a contravention of any law relating to the area or vessel concerned or that would impede the proper administration of the customs or quarantine services within the port www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/maintop/view/inforce/act+121+1998+cd+0+N

2.12.2 For practical purposes, the Duty VTS Manager is delegated by the Harbour Master to exercise these powers

2.12.3 Each vessel is assessed for tug requirements on its first call to Sydney or Botany Bay with the following taken into consideration:  Handling characteristics  Bow thruster  Bow and stern thruster combinations  Twin screw and rudder combinations  Active rudder

2.12.4 A record of the assessment is maintained in ShIPS within the Vessel Detail File

2.12.5 The assessment details the tugs required for swinging, berthing head in, departing head out clear ahead or not clear ahead in average weather conditions. Extra tugs may be required because of displacement wind speed and direction. (Critical wind speeds that influence towage requirements are 15kts and over). Further information regarding tugs can be found in the Harbour Master Directions.

2.12.6 This assessment may be valid for the sister-ships of the assessed vessel.

2.12.7 Unless advised otherwise by the Duty Pilot, the agent for a vessel fitted with a thruster, visiting for the first time should book tugs for a non-thruster ship, and request tug assessment of the vessel:  Inwards if the vessel is swinging on arrival.   Both inwards and outwards if the vessel is swinging on departure

2.12.8 When ordering tugs the preferred provider must be nominated.

2.12.9 All tug orders are lodged via ShIPS.

2.12.10 Noting that towage service providers require a number of hours notice to book tugs, there will be occasions where tugs are booked and the wind strength does not reach that forecasted. It is recommended that agents make themselves aware of the cancellation policy of the towage provider they use.

2.12.11 The Harbour Master appreciates that Masters may not believe that a tug is necessary for a particular manoeuvre, in such circumstances it is appropriate for the Master to liaise with the Duty Pilot to ensure an agreement is reached in time to avoid potential delays with the arrival

Port Information 2015 Page 14 of 36

of towage assistance. In circumstances where the appropriate type/number of tugs are not ordered then the vessel involved will likely be delayed.

2.13 Lines handlers 2.13.1 The Authority does not employ lines handlers.

2.13.2 Whilst the mooring services provider specifies the number of lines handlers the Authority has specified the number of lines boats required at a number of berths – refer to Harbour Masters Directions.

2.13.3 When ordering lines handlers agents must nominate the preferred provider.

2.13.4 All lines handlers orders are lodged via ShIPS

2.14 Berth allocation 2.14.1 The operators of the various terminals in Sydney and Botany Bay are responsible for berth allocation at their terminals.

2.14.2 Port Authority is responsible for berth allocation at the following ‘common user berths’:  Overseas Passenger Terminal ShIPS: SCPT;  White Bay Cruise Terminal ShIPS: WHT5  Glebe Island berths No. 1,2,7 and 8 ShIPS: GLB1,GLB2,GLB7,GLB8;  White Bay berths No.2;3,4,5 ShIPS: WHT2,WHT3,WHT4,WHT5

2.14.3 All berth allocations are lodged via ShIPS.

2.14.4 Common User Berth allocations are the responsibility of the VTS Manager – 9296 4823

2.15 Movement within the ports 2.15.1 Agents are to note and advise masters that vessels must not move within the ports without having a pilot onboard or without the Duty Harbour Masters prior approval- this includes moving along the wharf. Refer to Marine Safety Act 1998 No 121 Pilotage compulsory in Pilotage Ports

2.16 Dangerous Goods – entry into Port 2.16.1 The handling of Dangerous Goods in the Ports of NSW is controlled by the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011.

2.16.2 At least 24 hours prior to a vessel’s proposed time of entry or the proposed time of delivery of goods to a berth, the Master, his agent or their representative must lodge details of dangerous goods being carried or intended for carriage on the vessel with the Authority.

2.16.3 Applications for approval to enter port and handle dangerous goods are made via ShIPS.

2.17 Bunkers 2.17.1 The Harbour Master’s agreement is required for all bunker operations including discharge of sludge/slops.

2.17.2 Applications for bunker approvals are made via ShIPS.

2.17.4 The Authority’s marine operations staff will attend to ensure the bunker operation is carried out safely and in compliance with the conditions stipulated in the bunker approval.

PART 7 – Security

7.1 Overview 7.2 Port security requirements 7.3 Maritime security advice 7.4 Security measures 7.5 Security zones 7.6 Port security zones 7.7 Port restricted areas 7.8 Signage 7.9 Vessels authorised to enter waterside restricted areas 7.10 Accreditation 7.11 Maritime security identification cards 7.12 Other forms of accreditation 7.13 Visitors 7.14 Prohibited and restricted areas 7.15 Prohibited and restricted actions 7.16 Penalties for breaches of the Act 7.17 Penalties for breaches of the Marine Safety Regulations - NSW 7.18 Reporting maritime security events, incidents or threats

Printed copies are uncontrolled For the latest version, please visit www.portauthority.com.au

7.1 Overview 7.1.1 The following section outlines the requirements of Australia’s maritime security legislation and the Maritime Security Plans for the Port. Any Australian or foreign security regulated ship¹, must comply with these requirements should it wish to enter the Port. Other users of the Port must also comply with security declarations or directions in force at any time.

7.2 Port security requirements 7.2.1 Commercial shipping in Australia is regulated by the Commonwealth Government through the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003 (the Act).This Act was developed to ensure Australia is compliant with the obligations of the International Ship & Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.

7.2.2 Under the Act, Sydney Ports Corporation is the Port Operator for Botany Bay and Sydney Harbour (the Port) and must maintain Maritime Security Plans for the Port. These security plans are approved by the Commonwealth Government’s Department of Transport and Regional Services (DOTARS). Other Australian ports, port facilities and port service providers (pilots, tugs, lines, bunker and barge services) and offshore oil and gas facilities are also required to maintain approved security plans.

7.3 Maritime security levels 7.3.1 One of three maritime security (MARSEC) levels may be applied within the Port at any time including: MARSEC Level 1: Default, routine security level. MARSEC Level 2: Heightened, a heightened maritime transport terrorist risk has been identified. MARSEC Level 3: Extreme, a terrorist attack is imminent or has occurred.

7.3.2 The Port’s routine security level is MARSEC Level 1.

7.3.3 The security level will be declared by DOTARS, depending upon the security threat at the time, however the Port may operate with increased measures at any time.

7.3.4 The current MARSEC Level is published on the Port Authority website at www.sydneyports.com.au and is routinely broadcast on VHF channel 12 or 13.

7.4 Security measures 7.4.1 Relevant security measures are defined in the security plans of the Port Operator, Port Facility Operators, and Security Regulated Ships within the Port and will be in place to meet the requirements of each security level. Port users must observe these requirements.

1 As defined in the Act

Port Information 2015 Page 31 of 36

7.5 Security zones 7.5.1 Some sensitive port areas require additional security measures. Dependent upon the MARSEC level in force, security zones will apply to restrict access and to prevent unlawful interference with ships and critical or sensitive installations within the Port.

7.5.2 These security zones can be grouped into two areas including Port security zones and Port Restricted Areas (see diagram below).

7.5.3 Port security zones may include: • Landside restricted zones: used to provide controlled access to landside areas. • Cleared zones: used to facilitate the screening of persons and/or goods that move on and off of specific ships. • Waterside restricted zones: used to provide controlled access to waterside areas including berths, jetties and mooring lines from the wharf to the sea bed. • Ship security zones: used to control access around a moving security regulated ship. • On-Board Security zones: used to control access to areas or parts of security regulated ships.

7.5.4 Port Restricted Areas may include: • Additional areas used to control access to other sensitive Port locations, both landside and waterside.

7.5.5 Current security zones are published on the Corporation website at www.sydneyports.com.au and are routinely broadcast on the port operations VHF channel 12 or 13. Security zones are also identified in relevant maritime publications.

Port Information 2015 Page 32 of 36

7.6 Port security zones 7.6.1 The following Port security zones are established across the Port at MARSEC Level 1:

7.6.2 Waterside The Port Operator is responsible for Port security zones established at the following locations:

• 60 metres clearance from any security regulated passenger ship, berthed at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, . • 60 metres clearance from any security regulated passenger ship, berthed at the White Bay Cruise Terminal, White Bay 5 • 60 metres clearance from any security regulated passenger ship berthed at other berths identified by the Port Operator from time to time. • 100 metres clearance from the wharf face, while a security regulated tanker is berthed at the terminal in Gore Cove.

7.6.3 Landside The Port Operator is responsible for Port security zones established at the following facilities:

• The berth face, provedoring and passenger processing areas of the Overseas Passenger Terminal, Circular Quay, during a security regulated ship visit. • The berth face, provedoring and passenger processing areas of the White Bay Cruise Terminal, White Bay, during a security regulated ship visit

7.6.4 The Port Operator is responsible for Port Restricted Areas established at the following facilities: • The landside and facility areas of White Bay Berths 2 – 6. • The landside and facility areas of Glebe Island berths 1, 2, 7 and 8.

7.6.5 Other facility owners and operators are responsible for Port security zones established at the following locations: • The terminal area Gore Cove berths 1 & 2. • The tug moorings at Balmain. • The tug moorings at Port Botany • The three container terminals situated within Port Botany. • The Kurnell Jetty berths 1 & 2. • Bulk Liquids Berths at Port Botany

7.6.6 Access to all Port security zones is controlled and entry is not permitted unless authorised by the Port Operator or Port Facility Operator. Unauthorised entry to these zones is an offence under the Act and subject to significant penalties. All conditions of entry must be observed by all Port users when seeking entry to these zones.

7.7 Port restricted areas 7.7.1 In addition to the Port security zones detailed above, the provisions of the Marine Safety Regulations, NSW continues to operate. These Regulations also enacts restrictions to certain areas identified as ‘Port Restricted Areas’ and include:

7.7.2 Waterside • 30 metres clearance from any moored or anchored seagoing ship without lawful authority. • 100 metres clearance from the wharf face at the Gore Cove terminal, at all times other than those covered by security zones under the Act. • 100 metres from the Kurnell Jetty berths 1 and 2, the area between the Jetty and the sub-marine berth 3 and an area surrounding the sub-marine berth 3, in Botany Bay. • 100 metres from the White Bay berths 3 and 4 when utilised for security regulated tanker ship operations.

Port Information 2015 Page 33 of 36

7.8 Signage 7.8.1 All security regulated passenger ships and tankers will be requested to display signage that is visible waterside and depicts security zone information. Other security regulated ships may be asked to do the same from time to time. The Port Operator will provide the signs upon arrival and collect them prior to departure. The Ship Master’s assistance is requested to ensure the signage is displayed appropriately for the duration of the visit.

7.8.2 To provide the greatest flexibility, the signs are broken into two components: • The first component identifies the type of security zone, (e.g. either a “Port security zone” or a “Port Restricted Area”). • The second component identifies the how far the boundary of the security zone is from the side of the ship. Distances will vary depending upon the berth and include distances of 30, 60 or 100 metres, to comply with the security zone requirements of each berth.

7.8.3 The signs are designed to be attached to the midship railing or other similar location (see example below).

An example of the signs deployed on a security regulated ship (not to scale).

7.9 Vessels authorised to enter waterside restricted zones 7.9.1 Authorised vessels include: • A vessel operated by the Corporation for the carriage of passengers that is on its usual route or timetable for the day. • A vessel that is compelled by circumstances to be closer than the distances specified, for the purposes of navigation safety. • NSW Police Marine Area Command (Water Police) vessels. • RMS Maritime vessels. • Sydney Ports Corporation vessels.

7.9.2 Accreditation requirements must be adhered to by staff on these vessels.

7.10 Accreditation 7.10.1 Accreditation is used to assist to control access to security zones. Accreditation is the primary means for determining a person’s ‘right’ to enter these areas. All persons entering security zones must be appropriately accredited.

Port Information 2015 Page 34 of 36

7.11 Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC) 7.11.1 The MSIC is the first point of reference used by all Port staff to verify the identity of an individual within security zones. All persons that have an operational need to work within these areas must be issued with an MSIC. 7.11.2 Having an MISC will not entitle the holder to automatic entry to any or all security zones. Holding an MSIC does however show that the holder has successfully completed the background checking process required to enter these security zones.

7.11.3 Any person seeking entry to a security zone must be the holder of a valid MSIC or be escorted or continuously monitored by the holder of an MSIC. MSIC holders must have a genuine work- related reason to be in a security zone and need to follow the Port’s and or Port Facility Operator’s standard occupational health and safety procedures (OH&S) when entering these zones.

7.11.4 A separate site induction and/or access card issued by employers or a Port Facility Operator may be necessary to gain automated access. Where an individual cannot present their MSIC due to loss, theft or damage, a Temporary MSIC must be issued by the Port Facility or MSIC Issuing Body, after confirmation that the person is the holder of a valid MSIC.

7.12 Other forms of accreditation 7.12.1 Other forms of valid accreditation include: • Tickets for passage. • Foreign seafarer ID cards and/or identification papers. • Valid, Australian Defence Force (ADF) or Australian Federal Police (AFP) or State Police or Emergency Services, identification.

7.13 Visitors 7.13.1 All unaccredited persons requesting access to security zones will be classed as visitors. Visitors must be logged at each facility, issued visitor passes and may require an escort by an MSIC holder or be continuously monitored by an MSIC holder who is in the vicinity of the visitor.

7.14 Prohibited and restricted items 7.14.1 Certain items may be classed as prohibited² and or restricted³ within the Port. Offences apply for attempting to bring such items into Port precincts. Persons seeking entry to the Port or various Port Facilities may be subject to search for prohibited or restricted items as a condition of entry:
