Port Overview

LUCINA TERMINAL (UN/LOCODE: GALUT) · Mayumba, Gabon

Lucina Terminal is an offshore crude-oil export terminal serving the southern Gabonese coast near Mayumba. It is not a conventional container, general-cargo or inland distribution port: the operating model is based on offshore production facilities, a submarine pipeline, a single buoy mooring (SBM) and the 85,000 DWT floating storage unit “Banio.” The supplied port particulars place the terminal off the coast, approximately 17 nautical miles southeast of Pointe Kouango. Cargo is handled through tanker loading operations, so voyage planning depends on terminal acceptance, tanker compatibility, marine conditions, cargo nomination and ship-to-terminal coordination rather than on liner-port schedules. Our service team can coordinate pre-carriage, marine documentation and specialist project support, subject to confirmation from the terminal and nominated operators.

Key Highlights

Offshore oil export profileThe facility is designed for tanker loading from an SBM connected to the Banio FSU, not for routine container calls.

Vessel envelopeSupplied particulars indicate tankers up to 140,000 SDWT, with maximum displacement of 120,000 tonnes and bow-to-manifold distance not exceeding 141 m.

Arrival conditionArrival trim must not exceed 2.4 m. Vessel suitability must be checked before nomination and fixture.

Marine accessThe supplied description states no draught restriction for vessels using the facility; operational acceptance remains subject to terminal instructions and conditions.

Specialist coordination requiredLoading depends on offshore procedures, tanker vetting, cargo readiness, weather and safe mooring or manifold arrangements.

Facilities & Services

Offshore production system	Oil-producing wells are protected by six single four-pile platforms. Production facilities are described at approximately 03°41.0′S, 010°44.0′E.
Floating storage	The “Banio” FSU is stated to have an 85,000 DWT capacity and is connected to the SBM by submarine pipeline.
Loading facility	The SBM is described as approximately 1 km from the FSU, at approximately 03°39.6′S, 011°46.2′E. Tanker loading arrangements require terminal approval.
Container and conventional cargo	No routine container terminal, container yard, rail service, general-cargo berth or public warehousing capability is identified in the supplied particulars. Such cargo should be routed through a separately confirmed gateway.
Forwarding support	Our service team can arrange documentation review, marine coordination, offshore project cargo planning and onward routing, with each service confirmed against the actual scope and operator instructions.

Routes & Transit Times

Export pattern: crude oil normally moves from the offshore storage and SBM system directly to an accepted tanker for international discharge. Specific destination, vessel schedule and charter-party terms must be confirmed case by case.
Feeder or liner assumptions: GALUT should not be treated as a standard liner port. Containerized supplies, spare parts or project cargo may require routing through another confirmed Gabonese or regional gateway, followed by controlled onward delivery.
Time-critical factors: tanker vetting, terminal nomination, cargo readiness, weather, offshore marine movements, customs or petroleum documentation and berth or loading-window confirmation can materially affect the schedule.
Transit guidance: Our service team provides a shipment-specific schedule only after confirming vessel acceptance, cargo documents, terminal instructions, connecting gateway and inland or offshore handling requirements. No fixed transit time is implied by the port code.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary service areaThe logistics reference point is Mayumba and the southern Gabonese offshore oil area; the terminal’s main function is marine export rather than land-based cargo distribution.

Main export cargoCrude oil is the principal cargo associated with the Lucina offshore terminal.

Offshore support cargoPotential support flows include drilling and production equipment, pumps, valves, pipes, electrical items, maintenance spares, chemicals and marine consumables, subject to operator approval.

Project and breakbulk routingOversized or non-containerized offshore equipment may need a separately assessed regional gateway, chartered vessel, barge or controlled road movement; route feasibility must be checked before quotation.

Operations & Compliance

Terminal nomination: Obtain written confirmation of loading window, tanker acceptance, mooring configuration, manifold requirements, arrival trim and documentation cut-offs before fixing the vessel or committing cargo.
Dangerous goods and petroleum controls: Crude oil, chemicals, fuels and offshore consumables require accurate classification, SDS documentation, package or bulk details and advance dangerous-goods declarations where applicable.
Marine documentation: Verify bill of lading instructions, cargo quantity and quality certificates, certificate of origin where required, customs or petroleum declarations, vessel certificates, insurance and charter-party requirements.
Offshore safety: Loading is subject to terminal marine procedures, weather restrictions, exclusion zones, communications and safe-transfer controls. Late changes to vessel particulars or cargo documents can cause rejection or delay.
Inland delivery: Do not assume regular truck, rail, yard or customs-inspection infrastructure at GALUT. For supplies and project cargo, confirm the shore gateway, road limits, permits, escort, lifting equipment and final offshore transfer plan in advance.

Shipping Tips

Send the vessel’s DWT, displacement, dimensions, draught, trim, manifold position, bow-to-manifold distance, class and vetting information to our service team before requesting a firm loading plan.
For offshore equipment, use seaworthy export packing, corrosion protection, lifting points, verified weights and dimensions, and a packing list suitable for crane, deck and marine-transfer planning.
Separate petroleum, chemical, battery and other regulated cargo data early; provide SDS files, UN numbers where applicable, emergency contacts and the required declaration format before cargo acceptance.
Build schedule contingency for terminal confirmation, weather, customs formalities, inspection, offshore transfer and connecting-gateway operations. Any alternative routing should be priced and checked as a separate operational plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GALUT suitable for container shipments?

GALUT is identified as an offshore oil export terminal, not a conventional container terminal. Our service team will assess whether the cargo should move through another confirmed gateway before arranging onward delivery to the Mayumba or offshore supply chain.

What tanker information is needed before nomination?

Provide DWT, displacement, dimensions, draught, arrival trim, manifold location, bow-to-manifold distance, class, vetting status and relevant vessel certificates. Terminal acceptance must be obtained before relying on the stated vessel envelope.

Are there draught restrictions at Lucina?

The supplied particulars state that there are no draught restrictions for vessels using the facility. This does not remove the need to confirm vessel acceptance, under-keel safety, weather limitations and current terminal instructions.

Can offshore equipment be delivered directly to the terminal?

Not automatically. Offshore equipment requires a confirmed shore gateway, customs and regulatory plan, lifting and packing details, marine-transfer method and operator approval. Our service team can review these interfaces before quotation.

What commonly causes delay?

Typical risks include late tanker vetting, incorrect manifold or trim data, incomplete petroleum or dangerous-goods documents, weather interruptions, cargo-readiness changes and an unconfirmed connection between shore logistics and offshore transfer.

Data Sources & Provenance

Port code, name, country, city reference, supplied coordinates, offshore configuration, FSU description, loading limits, cargo figure and cited vessel particulars are taken from the provided GALUT port dataset and its embedded port description.

Operational recommendations are professional forwarding guidance for an offshore oil terminal and are intentionally expressed as conditional procedures. Current terminal instructions, nautical publications, vessel acceptance, petroleum controls, customs requirements, weather restrictions and cargo documentation must be verified with the nominated operator and relevant authorities before execution.

No unverified container service, liner schedule, port tariff, berth availability, inland transit time, opening hour or external statistical figure is represented as a confirmed fact.
