    2/17

    Port dues depends on the vessel dimensions/volume

    (LOA x Beam x Depth Molded = volume)

    No difference in port dues calculation due to vessel flag/nationality.

    According to Port Rules and regulations all port dues to be paid before vessel's arrival

    (usually via ship's agent).

    No tax on freight/cargo/vessel.

    Weather information and conditions:

    Average temp is 29C in the summer and 9C in winter. The lowest temperature

    recorded is -21C and highest is 41C.

    Port is ice-free year round. However, a rapid build up of ice on vessels'

    superstructures can occur in winter during strong NE'ly winds.

    Between November and March a strong, gusty NE'ly winds (called "BORA") blowing

    from the coastal mountains can occasionally reach hurricane force. This wind maylast 3 days or more.

    Significant wave height is less than 1m for 70% of the time in the summer, andgreater than 2-3m for 20% of the time in the winter.

    The Black Sea is non-tidal and sea level variation mainly depends on the direction ofthe wind: N'ly winds: +0.15 +0.25m CD. S'ly winds: +0.45 +0.60m CD.

    Visibility is generally fair to excellent.

    Salinity at the Dock varies between 1008 to 1012 density.

    Batumi Oil Terminal

    History

    Batumi Oil Terminal handles the technical operation, maintenance, renovation andnew construction of the Batumi Oil Terminal facilities. Batumi Oil Terminal is located

    at the seaport of Batumi, in the Autonomous Republic of Ajaria, Georgia. TheTerminal has been operating for over 120 years.

    In August 1999 the Greenoak Group acquired an oil transshipment facility in Batumiin a privatisation. The Terminal's history goes back to the beginning of the Caucasus

    oil history in the late nineteenth century but at the time of privatisation it was a rundown state-owned facility, which had been the target of many international

    investment companies due to its important strategic location. The local governmentwas looking for investors to develop the potential of the Terminal but was not

    successful. However, Greenoak Group succeeded by committing to a significantcapital expenditure programme over a three year period.

    The Terminal transships crude oil and oil products exported by regional producers inKazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Georgia. During the period of Greenoak's

    ownership throughput has increased three times and the Terminal has been

    completely rebuilt and modernised at a cost of more than USD 60 million.
