We have not received any info from this installation that should indicate any increase in cost level for ships calling.

There are no changes in tug boat requirements and it is also highly unlikely that there will be any charges imposed due to security level required.

The ISPS regulations should not lead to any delays in ships turnaround.

We do not foresee any problems with regards to crewchanges and flow of goods to/fm vessel as long as all spares etc has the attached documents required.

Measures that have been initiated after the introduction of the ISPS Code on 1 July 2004

The following safety measures have been initiated on the introduction of the ISPS Code at Kårstø on 1 July 2004: An advance notice must be given of all visitors to ships, and a list of names must be available at the main gate. Visitors must report to the main gate to be issued visitors' cards. Failure to give advance notice of visitors will result in non-admittance. This does not apply to persons with a valid access card issued by Statoil (ID card with photograph).

When changing crews, name lists of both the old and the new crew must be available. These persons will not be issued with visitors' cards, but will be issued ID cards which must be checked against the list of names/crew list. Intermediate storage of goods on the plant premises will not be permitted. All provisions and stores must be taken directly onboard.

Furthermore, prior notice of all shipments must be given, accompanied by a safety declaration
(declaration of goods) which confirms that the shipment is in the same condition as it was on leaving the supplier. This declaration shall be presented on request. It is the ship's responsibility to ensure that the shipment is all right.

All crew lists, name lists and advance notice of visitors shall be sent via e-mail or fax to the main gate at Kårstø.
