　　3. 装货港作业Loading Port Operations

　　3.1 卖方需负责装货码头的操作或促成他人进行操作，以使每艘LNG 船能够尽量快速高效

　　地进行装货作业，同时，卖方需在每艘LNG 船根据销售备忘录中的装货安排进行快速维修和离泊时提供协助。在每批LNG 货品进行装货时，LNG 船舶需要向卖方设施返回一定量的天然气，回流的天然气量需能确保LNG 船舶在相关速度、压力和温度的情况下能够实现LNG 的安全装载。

　　Seller shall operate, or cause to be operated, the loading terminal so as to permit loading of each LNG Ship as quickly and efficiently as reasonably possible, and shall cooperate in prompt servicing and departure of the LNG Ship pursuant to the loading schedule in the Sale Memorandum. During loading of each LNG Cargo, the LNG Ship shall return to Seller's Facilities Natural Gas in such quantities as are necessary for the safe loading of the LNG at such rates, pressures and temperatures as may be required by the LNG Ship.

　　3.2 在卖方的协助下，买方需在保障安全高效的情况下负责实施，或促成他方实施每艘LNG 船舶的靠泊作业。买卖双方需根据相关销售备忘录中的装货安排，在靠泊完成后，通过合作开始装货作业或促成他方开始装货作业，并需通过合作完成装货作业或促成他方完成装货作业，并尽可能保证装货作业的安全和效率。

　　Buyer shall berth each LNG Ship or cause it to be berthed as safely and expeditiously as reasonably possible in cooperation with Seller. In accordance with the loading schedule in the applicable Sale Memorandum, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to commence loading or cause it to be commenced upon completion of berthing and to complete loading or cause it to be completed as safely and expeditiously as reasonably possible.

　　3.3 买卖双方需通过合理努力，避免LNG 船舶在卖方设施的靠泊过程中与其它LNG 船发

　　生冲突。如果有LNG 船在其交付窗口期进入装货港，卖方需通过合理努力，确保该LNG 船比其他LNG 船舶相比具备优先权，除非有其他也在计划中的交付窗口期之内的LNG 船在之前到达，且由于恶劣天然条件或其它不可抗力原因正在等待装货。对于在交付窗口期之前或之后抵达装货港的LNG 船舶，卖方需通过合理努力，促使装货港设施运营方尽快接收该船舶。如果发生两艘LNG 船舶在相似时间到达装货港，且两艘船均在各自的时间计划范围以外，则采用“先来后到”的船运行业常规惯例。

　　Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable endeavours to avoid any conflict with other LNG ships in berthing a LNG Ship at Seller's Facilities. If a LNG Ship arrives at the Loading Port within its Delivery Window, Seller shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the LNG Ship has priority over other LNG carriers, except in the case that the other ship has arrived within its scheduled delivery window and is waiting due to Adverse Weather Conditions or other Force Majeure reasons. Seller shall use reasonable endeavours to cause the operator of the Loading Port facilities to accept as soon as possible a LNG Ship that arrives at the Loading Port prior to or after the Delivery Window. If a LNG Ship and another LNG carrier are due to arrive at the Loading Port at a similar time and both vessels are outside their respective schedules, then the normal shipping industry practice of "first come, first served" shall apply.

　　3.4 在装货完成后，买方需在卖方协作之下，尽可能安全高效地完成每艘LNG 船舶的离泊

　　作业。

　　Buyer shall cause each LNG Ship to depart as safely and expeditiously as reasonably possible from the berth after completion of loading in cooperation with Seller.

　　3.5 买方在对实际可装载的LNG 上限量(在LNG 船船长和卖方设施运营方确定的操作公

　　差范围内)，以及离泊时所需的吃水，LNG 船到达装货港时所需的留底货量予以考虑后，在保障安全合理的前提下在装货港将每艘LNG 船装满。

　　Buyer shall cause each LNG Ship to be loaded at the Loading Port as fully as is safely and reasonably practicable after taking into account the maximum amount of LNG that can practically be loaded (within the operational tolerance established by the master of the LNG Ship and the operator of Seller's Facilities), allowing for the required draft upon departure and the Heel on board the LNG Ship upon arrival at the Loading Port.

　　3.6 卖方需承担LNG 船舶在装货港进行移泊所产生的所有费用，除非移泊作业是由于买方

　　和/或买方承运方的行为或不作为而导致的。

　　Seller shall pay all charges payable by reason of the LNG Ship having to shift berth at the Loading Port, unless such shifting is a result of Buyer's and/or Buyer's Transporter's action or inaction.

　　中的最早时间点算起延误二十四(24)个小时：(i)LNG 船舶在泊位中泊牢;(ii) 准备就绪通知书发出之后的六(6)小时(如果LNG 船舶在交付窗口期内发出准备就绪通知书);或(iii)交付窗口期第一天的当地时间06：00 整(如果LNG 船在上述日期之前到达)，由于过量闪蒸的原因，卖方需向买方赔偿一定金额，该金额需为LNG 货品合同价与过度蒸发量MMBtu 值的乘积。通过将LNG 货品标称量与销售备忘录中认定的每日闪蒸率(以下简称“认定的每日闪蒸率”)相乘，并将所得乘积与第5.6 条中确定的过度蒸发开始的时间和装货开始时间之间的天数(包括部分天数)相乘得出过度蒸发量的MMBtu 值。

　　If a LNG Ship is delayed in the commencement of loading for reasons attributable to Seller or Seller's servants or agents for twenty-four (24) hours after the earlier of (i) the LNG Ship being all fast in the berth, (ii) six (6) hours after the tendering of the Notice of Readiness, if the LNG Ship tenders Notice of Readiness within the Delivery Window, or (iii) 0600 hours Local Time on the first day of the Delivery Window, if the LNG Ship arrives prior to such date, then Seller shall pay Buyer an amount, on account of excess boil-off, equal to the Contract Price for the LNG Cargo multiplied by the MMBtus of excess boil-off. The MMBtus of excess boil-off shall be calculated by multiplying the Nominal Quantity of the LNG Cargo by the deemed daily boil-off rate in the Sale Memorandum (the "Deemed Daily Boil-Off Rate") and multiplying the product by the number of days (including partial days) between the time when excess boil-off commences as determined in this Section 5.6 and the time when loading begins.

　　5.7 买方需根据第11.3 条对按照附件B 第5.3 和5.6 条应付的款项向卖方开出发票，并需提供相关款项的支撑性文件和计算依据。卖方需根据第11.4(b)条对上述发票进行支付。Buyer shall invoice Seller pursuant to Section 11.3 for amounts due under Sections 5.3 and 5.6 of this Schedule B and shall provide documents and calculations in support of such amount. Seller shall pay such invoice in accordance with Section 11.4(b).

　　5.8 如果由于买方过失原因，使LNG 船未在允许装货时长内完成装货作业，并导致其它

　　LNG 船延误装货，由此直接导致卖方产生的合理且有记录的费用，包括需向相关LNG 船支付的滞期费，买方需向卖方进行赔偿，但是买方应向卖方支付的赔款量不得超过延迟时长与销售备忘录中滞期费率的乘积。

　　If the loading of a LNG Ship is not completed within Allowed Laytime and such delay is the fault of Buyer, and, as a result, another LNG carrier is delayed in loading, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for documented costs reasonably incurred by Seller as a direct result of such delay, including demurrage payable in respect of such LNG carrier, provided that Buyer shall not be required to reimburse to Seller any amounts in excess of duration of the delay multiplied by the demurrage rate in the Sale Memorandum.

　　6. 冷却和蒸发Cool-down and boil-off

　　6.1 在装货港对LNG 船进行清洗或冷却所需的任何LNG 量需由买方承担费用，并需根据

　　第11 条以合同价为基础开出发票;除非是由于卖方原因导致靠泊延期而需要进行冷却，买方有权要求卖方根据附件B 第5.6 条支付过度蒸发量的费用，且清洗或冷却所需的LNG 费用需由卖方承担。协议双方需商定一个确定清洗及冷却所需LNG 量的办法，并由指定的独立检验员根据附件B 第7 条进行查验。

　　Any quantities of LNG required for purging or cool-down of the LNG Ship at the Loading Port shall be for Buyer's account, and shall be invoiced pursuant to Section 11 at the Contract Price; unless the requirement for cool-down resulted from a delay in berthing caused by Seller, for which Buyer was entitled to a payment for excess boil-off pursuant to Section 5.6 of Schedule B, in which case the cost of LNG required for purging or cool-down shall be for Seller's account. The Parties shall mutually agree on the method used to determine the purging or cooling LNG quantities, which will be verified by the independent surveyors appointed pursuant to Section 7 of Schedule B.

　　6.2 LNG 船舶在装载过程中不得将闪蒸气或置换气用作燃料，除非得到卖方事先批准。

　　measurements and computations has been finally resolved (by agreement or court proceedings or arbitration or otherwise).

　　7.10 各相关方应按照双方约定的时间间隔对相关计量装置的精度测试和查验。对于LNG 船

　　上的计量设备，相关测试和查验工作需在船舶进干坞的预定期间内进行。协议各方有权在提前通知对方的前提下随时对另一方安装的计量设备进行检验，相关费用和风险自行承担。测试工作需选用生产商推荐的方案或买卖双方商定的方案进行。测试工作需由联合指定的独立检验人见证并查验。协议各方均有权委派代表对设备和LNG 的测量、取样和测试工作进行见证。

　　Each relevant Party shall test and verify the accuracy of the applicable gauging devices at intervals to be agreed between the Parties. In the case of gauging devices on the LNG Ship(s), such tests and verifications shall take place during scheduled dry-docking periods. Each Party, at its own cost and risk, shall have the right to inspect at any time the gauging devices installed by the other Party, provided that the other Party shall be notified reasonably in advance. Testing shall be performed using methods recommended by the manufacturer or any other method agreed upon by Seller and Buyer. Tests shall be witnessed and verified by the jointly appointed independent surveyors. Either Party shall have the right to have representatives present to witness measurements, sampling and testing of devices and LNG.

　　7.11 允许偏差需根据接收站规范中的规定，如果没有偏差方面的相关规定，则按照附件E

　　中第2、3 条中的规定。如果发现有设备的误差超过了允许偏差范围，在可行的情况下对该设备进行对应的调节，并对双方已明确知道或约定的误差期间内的记录值以及据此得出的计算数据进行纠正。在上述误差期间内开具的所有发票需根据上述纠正方案作出对应的修改，同时，买卖双方需在上述调整后的十五(15)个工作日以内完成支付款项的调整。如果协议双方无法明确或无法约定误差期间，则需对发生误差的设备从其最近一次校准之日开始，到发现误差之时为止，该时间段内下半部分时间中所发生的各次交付中的数据进行更正。但是，对于已经根据第11.6 条最终解决了的任何争议发票，不应将本条第7.11 条中的条款用来要求对其进行更改。

　　Permissible tolerances shall be as set forth in the Terminal Rules or, in the absence of such tolerances, as set forth in Sections 2 and 3 of Schedule E. Where the inaccuracy of a device is found to exceed the permissible tolerances, the device, if possible, shall be adjusted accordingly and recordings and computations made on the basis of those recordings shall be corrected with respect to any period of error that is definitely known or agreed by the Parties. All the invoices issued during such period of error shall be amended accordingly to reflect such correction and an

　　adjustment in payment shall be made between Buyer and Seller within fifteen (15) Business Days of such adjustment. In the event that the period of error is neither known nor agreed, corrections shall be made for each delivery made during the last half of the period since the date of the most recent calibration of the inaccurate device. However, the provisions of this Section 7.11 shall not be applied to require the modification of any disputed invoice that has been finally resolved pursuant to Section 11.6.

　　7.12 由于对测量设备进行测试或查验而导致的所有费用和开支需由测试或查验工作的实施

　　方承担，除非该测试受另一方要求而进行，且经过测试，并未发现相关测量设备有任何需要纠正的误差或偏差，则由此产生的相关费用由要求进行上述测试或查验工作的相关方进行承担。但是，参加上述测试或查验的协议方代表方如果要求进行测试，由此产生的费用和风险由其代表一方所承担。

　　All costs and expenses for testing and verifying measurement devices shall be borne by the Party who is testing or verifying the devices unless the testing is conducted at the request of the other Party and such testing does not disclose errors or inaccuracies which require correction in such measurement devices, in which event, the Party requesting such testing or verification shall bear such costs; provided, however, that representatives of the Parties attending such tests and verifications shall do so at the cost and risk of the Party they represent.
