The Petroatlantic is now alongside Heppenser Jetty at Wilhelmshaven .
Slipanchor,
"The Petroatlantic is now alongside Heppenser Jetty at Wilhelmshaven ."
Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately despite my love of long-distance driving, I think that's a bit to far for me to want to jump in my car to go and see.
However, if there any 'spies' in the vicinity, it'd be good to know if there might not be an enormous severed-tentacle-like thing visible draped over the bow area, or gouge-marks on the hull which may have been caused by an enormous Cephalopodic 'beak'.

There could well be if that Port Report is correct because its updated and the quantity has reduced from 51247mt to 45000mt!

Nothing showing on satellite imagery, I was under the impression that Hitler had given orders for it to be killed.
The mooring crew do appear to be on high alert.
Birling,
" if that Port Report is correct because its updated and the quantity has reduced from 51247mt to 45000mt!"
Many thanks for the update, and yes, I've checked and indeed the figure has been updated. and as it's a figure taken in port rather than at sea, I see no reason to disbelieve it. This reduces the load to something between 311,500 bbl and 340,000, depending on how you calculate it. Still very much the same 'ballpark', but a slightly smaller one.
"Curiouser and curiouser" (to quote Alice). How odd.
Definitely a 'partial offload' if the FPSO's tanks were bursting at the seams, and a very small cargo for the tanker. Which of course (see my 11:42 post), WHY? Neither of them make sense to me, economically, unless there was some sort of technical hiccup during the offload where it made more sense to cut the boat loose and do the delivery while planning to take more time to fix the problem, if there was one.
Or otherwise the possible alternative, that this is the magician 'preparing his stage' before pulling the rabbit out of the hat at the CMD. I don't discount that possibility.
Of course the reduction in tonnage might be explained by the tanker crew pumping all the water they'd collected over the side during the voyage. To save the refinery the bother of 'hiding' it...
slipanchor,
" I was under the impression that Hitler had given orders for it to be killed."
What? Kill the giant squid? That would be a terrible and unecological thing to do.
(Don't tell anyone else, but I have it on good information that the giant squid is in fact our FRIEND, and assists in rig anchor-handling operations and things like that.)

I will be interested to see the time it leaves my notes say discharge rate of this vessel 16000 per hr maybe we can get a correlation on this . Anyone know how many storage tanks has the AM
allocated for the 600,000 bbls capacity
Laser,
this AM document says: 604,478 bbls (96,112 m3) in 11 cargo storage tanks.
https://www.bluewater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/AokaMizu_folder.pdf
Unless Lancaster crude is being blended with the other crude which has near zero sulphur???
Did anyone thought about it?
Lanc crude has 1.5% sulphur if I'm not mistaken
laser,
Mario got in before me, but his figure is correct !
However, I count 13 crude storage tanks. (Source not Bluewater but the HUR EIS document.)
Appologies Lancaster crude sulphur content is ~1.3%
Any comments on why BP would have taken that offload rather than wait for the normal parcel size of around 450k? The only thing making sense to me is that there was a problem during the offload and it was halted for technical reasons, as the sea was calm. Any other explanation suggests that BP spent rather more on that load than they need have done!
malrees,

Yes, I have commented at length today about exactly the same thing (see my posts), and can only come to the same conclusion as yourself. Some sort of technical glitch.
However, you mentioned the fact that BP is involved, and that hadn't occurred to me in my thinking. Offloads can't just be 'organised' by Hurricane, but in conjunction with BP. And I have a suspicion (though no evidence for such) that BP probably does the main organisation of such logistics.
Thanks for the backup to the thinking in my 11:42 post! We might both be wrong, of course, but it's nice to know one's got company...
It has always mystified me as to why unloading be at Wilhelmshaven V Rotterdam, but when thinking about this, it is BP calling the shots is it not?, nothing at all to do with HUR?
Thanks Mario /aduk for the links. Perhaps a short weather window Grampian was in port when tanker arrived in vicinity early morning,Tanker eventually docked 5.35pm Grampian carried out further unloading when it left 24hrs later .
We dont know what the contract is on tankers is it
ad /hoc or do they have agreement for x amount of uploads during a given period, not a roll over ,so makes sense to utilise a tanker offload as we have already paid.
Seeing that we have not been notified in any change of production levels, i envisage the stock level of produced oil still out on the AM now around 240,000 . I will be looking for tankers and a 48hr weather window from next week end .
