It is recommended that INA – Industrija nafte, d.d. develop a plan, i.e., a standard ship mooring scheme, for the INA tanker terminal at the Kaštelanski Basin C of the Split North Port in Solin. This scheme should be adapted to the dimensions and berthing side of the vessels accepted at the terminal, as well as expected meteorological conditions. It should include a graphical representation of a moored vessel at the terminal, indicating the dimensions of the mooring bollards and service platform, their mutual distances, the distance of the mooring buoy from the eastern bollard, a graphical depiction of mooring elements and their limitations (safe/allowed working load – SWL/WLL, permitted number of ropes per mooring element), fender layout, etc.

This process should be guided by the findings of the Marine study of the terminal (conducted in 2020) and be carried out in collaboration with the Port Authority of Split, the Harbor Master’s Office Split, and Split port pilots. The completed plan must be transparent and readily available to incoming vessels, as well as to all parties involved in mooring/unmooring operations at the terminal, including on-duty services (pilots, tugboats, mooring personnel, harbour master’s office, etc.).
