Subject to normal operating requirements, the COMPANY will transport the CONTRACTOR GROUP’s personnel between the mobilisation point and the offshore WORKSITE. Such transportation shall at all times be at the COMPANY’s discretion.
3.4	In the event of any delay in departure from the mobilisation point to the offshore WORKSITE, the CONTRACTOR GROUP’s personnel shall remain at the mobilisation point until stood down by the COMPANY. Should such delay result in the CONTRACTOR GROUP’s personnel remaining on standby overnight, the COMPANY (to suite operational requirements) shall reimburse the CONTRACTOR an agreed lump sum per night to cover accommodation in Aberdeen, meals and transportation to/from the accommodation and heliport, for those CONTRACTOR GROUP personnel normally not residing locally i.e. outwith a forty (40) mile radius of the mobilisation point. Such payments will be progressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section III – Remuneration.
3.5	The COMPANY shall be responsible for arranging meals, accommodation and transport as appropriate, all to its account if the helicopter having taken off from the drilling unit and/or other associated intervention vessel diverts to land at a location other than Aberdeen.
3.6	The COMPANY shall be liable for any documented costs incurred by the CONTRACTOR GROUP’s from the scheduled check-in time or subsequent to the disembarkation of the CONTRACTOR GROUP’s personnel at the designated demobilisation point, located in Aberdeen.
3.7	For the avoidance of doubt, the offshore working day shall be for a minimum twelve (12) hour day, and any hours worked in excess of this on any particular day shall be deemed to be included in the pertinent offshore daily rate.
3.8	The onshore daily rate(s) contained within this Section III – Remuneration, shall apply for each eight (8) hour day spent productively working onshore. In the event that only partial day is worked, then reimbursement shall be made on a pro-rata basis. In the event that more than eight (8) hours are worked in the same day, then such hours (over the nominal eight (8) hours) are deemed to be included in the pertinent onshore personnel day rate, and the COMPANY shall not be liable for any overtime charges. The only exception to this would be where specific overtime work is authorised in writing in advance by the COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE, and where a schedule of pertinent overtime rates per hour worked for each personnel category is agreed between both PARTIES.

Design Risk Management

 

3.16

Excellence in design safety is an engineering responsibility and is best achieved through design hazard management, which is a process involving major hazard identification, evaluation and continuous risk reduction through design safety measures.

	●	Safety critical, and environmentally critical design measures;
	●	Performance standards;
	●	Safety study programme (including Human Factors), and
	●	ALARP demonstration.

 

Managing hazards in design involves eliminating or minimising major accident hazards at the source and preventing those that remain from becoming major accidents. It also involves the provision of sufficient design integrity to control the consequences of a major accident to reduce severity and potential adjustment, while providing mitigation and protection for personnel and key facilities from the effects (e.g. heat, smoke, gas, toxic fumes etc.).

Structure Specification

 

Bridge

 

	-	Bridge has general-purpose mounting provisions for various equipment
	-	Instruments on Bridge:

 

	1.	Marine Beacon
	2.	Satelite tracker
	3.	Lightening rod
	4.	Radar reflector

 

Float

 

	-	Float trims at the mid-plane; the float displacement only supports the mass of itself, bridge assembly and moving PTO components.
	-	The float guides constrain the roll motion relative to the spar within 2 degrees (+/-1 deg).
	-	The float guides constrain the yaw motion relative to the spar within 2 degrees (+/- 1 deg).
	-	The float has lifting lugs for horizontal or vertical lifting of the float halves.

 

Spar

 

Function

 

	-	Spar houses the power conversion assembly, energy storage system, electrical control panel, and autoballast system.
	-	Linear seal on the lid prevents water ingress into the spar, while allowing low friction movement of the input rod

 

Design

 

-

Spar is designed based on loads during survival conditions resulting from waves, float movements and 1.5 times the maximum hydrostatic pressure.

 

	-	The auto ballast system is standard on PB3 PowerBuoys. This allows for remote activation of ballasting and de-ballasting of the buoy.
	-	Manual (diver assisted) ballasting provisions is available in case of emergencies.
	-	The controlled balasting system feature allows the buoy to be towable horizontaly. The operational ballast must be sufficient to trim the spar such that the float mid-plane and spar mid-stroke is coincident. Ballast chamber has at least 10% additional capacity to compensate for manufacturing weight tolerances.
	-	Maximum allowable payload mass on the lid for PB3 is 140 kg
	-	Maximum allowable payload mass on heave plate for PB3 is 950 kg

 

Mooring Connections

 

-

Spar has three upper and three lower mooring lugs.

 

 

CONTRACT NO: C2394

PROVISION OF INTELLIGENT MONITORING BUOY AND SUPPORT SERVICES

 

 

-

The mooring lugs are DNV certified for an optional tow-out operation.

 

Lifting

 

	-	Spar has two lifting lugs on either side of the CG and capable of lifting the assembled buoy.
	-	The lifting points are designed for offshore lifting under the conditions described in DNVGLST-0001

 

Heave Plate

 

Design

 

-

Heave plate is designed for survival moment and axial forces.

 

Weight plates

 

-

Heave plate allows for bolting enough weight plates so that the buoy keels in proper orientation during horizontal towing.

 

PowerBuoy™ Controls and Communications

 

Buoy Controller:

 

	-	PowerBuoy control and comand function
	-	Local data collection and storage
	-	Transmission of select data back to shore station
	-	HMI for real time monitoring and control

 

Communications System:

 

	-	Cellular modem with VPN capability
	-	Wi-Fi for local buoy control and high-speed data transfer
	-	Satellite and fiber optic options are available, but not part of the base buoy design
