1 Introduction
Uniper plans to build an import terminal in Wilhelmshaven, Germany's only deep-sea port, to import up to 2.6 mtpa renewable/green/blue ammonia (NH ), incl. NH storage, a rail tank car 3 3 loading station and a large-scale NH cracking plant to produce renewable hydrogen. Up to 3 20 % NH can be directly redistributed by rail to downstream customers as an option. The larger 3 part will be cracked to hydrogen and injected into the regulated future German hydrogen core network which will run directly alongside the terminal site.
The Plant will be designed for an annual capacity of 2,600,000 tonnes (3,800,000m³) of refrigerated liquid ammonia. This corresponds to the landing of e.g. around 100 ships of 38,000m³ storage volume each per year.
Uniper Hydrogen GmbH is aiming to realise the project with the Plant scheduled to go into operation in the early 2030s.

3 Purpose of this document
The purpose of this document is to provide the definition for the Scope of Work to be executed by the Terminal-FEED Contractor for the Terminal-FEED study of the Hydrogen Import Terminal Wilhelmshaven project (HITW).
4 Description of the project
In this chapter a description of the overall HITW project is given, including the project location, project scope, key design parameters and phasing aspects.
4.1 Project Location
The onshore facilities of the planned import terminal are to be built in Wilhelmshaven at Voslapper Groden on the premises of DFTG-Deutsche Flüssigerdgas Terminal GmbH, Düsseldorf (ownership structure: Uniper: 90%, VNG 10%).
The DFTG site is located on the Voslapper Groden in the urban area of the city of Wilhelmshaven, district of Sengwarden, parcel 019, plot 1/7. The area of the DFTG site is approx. 84 ha. The UTM32 coordinates of the corner points of the site are as follows:
East North 440096.828 5942964.430 439058.388 5942376.692 438694.730 5942985.103 439748.188 5943541.216
Table 1: UTM32 coordinates of the property vertices
On the eastern edge of the site there is a 50 m wide dyke protection zone, which cannot be built on. In addition, a small part of the area in the eastern area is already used by the LTW (LNG Terminal Wilhelmshaven GmbH) and OGE (Open Grid Europe) for the operation of the nearby FSRU-based LNG import terminal. Along the northern edge of the site there are several existing and planned pipelines and cable corridors, including the NRL (Nordsee-Ruhr-Link) which will be used by the Plant for the feed-in of the produced hydrogen. Furthermore, some areas of the site need to be kept free due to environmental requirements.
The project location is shown in the following Figure 1.

4.2 Project Scope
The project is made up of several key measures. These include the design, the construction and the commissioning of a new marine infrastructure (Anleger für verflüssigte Gase, AVG – done by others) consisting of a number of berths for multiple users, a jetty control building, access trestles and a gate house at the landfall. One dedicated berth will be used by Employer for the terminal project. The required topsides including the jetty platform topsides as well as the pipe bridge for all piping and cabling between the jetty platform and the onshore site will have to be designed as part of the project’s Terminal-FEED.
The ammonia will be delivered via sea-going vessels to the dedicated NH offloading berth. For 3 the design of the berth a range of design vessels, from handy-size gas carrier (HGCs) up to Very Large Gas Carrier / Very Large Ammonia Carrier (VLGCs/VLACs) is considered. After successful mooring of a carrier and establishing cargo transfer connections, the offloading of the cargo will be done using unloading arms installed on the offloading platform to transfer the ammonia cargo from the vessel to the shore-side, i.e. the jetty. Vapour return from the onshore storage tanks to the carrier can also be done via a dedicated hard arm on the berth.
NH unloading lines, a vapour return line as well as utility lines and all types of cables will run on 3 a pipe bridge over the marine infrastructure between berth and landfall and up to the onshore site with its terminal facilities. The length of the pipe bridge between the berth and the onshore

site is ca. 3 km. In addition, a jetty control building will be installed containing the jetty control room and technical facilities like electrical, control and instrumentation installations.
On the onshore terminal site, ammonia storage tanks and associated facilities (such as in-tank pumps and boil-off gas management), ammonia crackers (splitting ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen), an NH rail tank car loading system as well as all associated ancillary facilities and 3 Plant infrastructure (roads, buildings, etc.) will be built.
Reaching the site, the ammonia will be led into two new large-scale atmospheric operated ammonia storage tanks. The ammonia storage tanks and the associated facilities will be designed to allow continuous unloading of an ammonia carrier at design offloading rates.
From the ammonia storage, in-tank transfer pumps as well as external booster pumps will deliver the required feed streams of ammonia to up to 6 ammonia cracker units. In the crackers, the ammonia will be split into hydrogen and nitrogen. The split hydrogen will also be treated to the desired pipeline specification in a subsequent purification unit as well as compressed to the desired delivery pressure.
The produced hydrogen is then led to a downstream fiscal metering station before it reaches the Plant’s battery limit towards the hydrogen sales gas pipeline (Nordsee-Ruhr-Link, NRL) operated by the transmission system operator (TSO) which is north and adjacent to the project site. The pipeline will be part of the yet to be built German Core Grid for hydrogen but will be finished and ready for delivery of hydrogen from the Plant in due time for the Project.
An alternative product route is the loading of ammonia onto rail tank cars and delivery of ammonia to downstream customers via rail. For this route, a reduced volume of ammonia of the Plant’s import capacity can be fed from the ammonia storage tanks to an onsite rail tank car loading. The planned loading capacity of the RTC loading facilities is from half a train per day up to a maximum of one full train per day. Loading facilities must be developed and designed accordingly.
Key design parameters for above systems are given in section 4.3.
Apart from the above outlined core elements of the Plant, all required remaining Plant infrastructure must be planned. Such items are for example roads, fences, administration building, workshop, warehouse, central control room and local control rooms, utilities and offsites, firefighting and gas detection installation etc. This includes the northwestern access to the site via road and rail (ca. 1.5 km).
The project must comply in general with the German Federal Emission Law (BImSchG) to build and operate such a facility and will specifically also be subject to 4. and 12. BImSchV (Seveso III Directive). The related BImSchG permit is authorized for erection and operation of the plant and considers all emissions of the plant and includes additional permits, as a construction permit and a permission according to Ordinance on Installations for the Handling of Substances Hazardous to Water (AwSV). Further separate permits are required such as a dike regulation approval and a permit according to the Water Resources Act.

8.11 Interfaces to the Marine Infrastructure
The HITW project will use a new marine infrastructure (“Anleger für verflüssigte Gase” – AVG) planned and built by Niedersachsen Ports (NPorts).
The layout of the AVG is shown in below Figure 7. It comprises an access bridge (Zufahrtsbrücke) reaching ca. 1.5km seaward from shore, and a connection bridge (Verbindungsbrücke) connecting the different jetty platforms. It is planned that the AVG will comprise initially six berths and associated platforms. The most northern berth will be used by the HITW project for mooring and offloading of NH carriers. The other berths are planned to be 3 used by different users for the import of LNG and export of CO . 2
The access and connection bridges consist of two levels – see below Figure 8 for a cross- sectional view of the access bridge (total width ca. 34 m). The lower level comprises three traffic lanes and all the piping for the LNG and CO berths. On the upper level (gallery), all equipment 2 for the unloading of the NH carriers as part of the HITW project will be installed. As indicated in 3 Figure 8, all topsides on the gallery, including all piping systems and cable trays with all required structural steel, from the AVG’s landfall up to the NH offloading platform, shall be 3 designed be the Terminal-FEED Contractor.

10.4.2 Construction Philosophy
Terminal-FEED Contractor shall develop a preliminary Construction Philosophy starting from the subsequent explanation.
Later, a Construction Team will develop a detailed construction plan including schedule and milestones.
Mechanical completion (MC) occurs at the end of construction once equipment is installed. Checking and testing of equipment and construction will be carried out to confirm that the installation is in accordance with drawings and specifications and ready for commissioning in a safe manner and in compliance with project requirements.
The construction team and commissioning team will perform a walkthrough to inspect the installation and confirm there are no deficiencies. Any deficiencies are noted and added to the deficiency list/punch list, with associated classification. Confirmation of basic installation is confirmed, such as valves installed in the correct direction, and all wiring point-to-point checks and megger tests have been completed. P&ID drawings are traced in the field to ensure all air/oil/water auxiliaries are available. The construction team will verify that drawings are marked up (red-green drawings) to indicate the as-installed condition, and mechanical completion is the point in time when the red-line drawings are delivered to the commissioning team. At each mechanical completion, a deficiency list (Punchlist) is generated, and any major deficiencies rectified before moving into the pre-commissioning phase.
A certificate issued by the EPC Contractor to document that his MC scope has been carried out successfully. The MC certificates shall be used per MC package.
The Construction Philosophy shall contain:
• Introduction and purpose • Definitions • Organigram of the Construction Team • Manning and camp plan • Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSSE) requirements • Construction execution strategy o Site Mobilisation o Temporary site arrangement e.g. lay-down, construction area and fabrication area o Required utilities e.g. power, water, nitrogen, plant air, communication, etc. o Early field execution o Pre-assembly, modularisation and prefabrication o Onsite fabrication requirements • Work permit activities • Heavy lift and mobile cranes • Scaffolding • On site tools • Sequential preparation and erection of the equipment

10.6.21 Gas dispersion, Radiation and Explosion and Toxic release Assessment and Report
The purpose of this Preliminary Radiation, Gas Dispersion, Explosion modelling is to identify effects of major accident hazards (e.g. vapour clouds, jet fires, pool fires, explosion, toxic gas releases etc.) on the sensitive locations within the plot.
Before any detailed calculation will be initiated the Terminal-FEED Contractor shall provide a description with defined scenarios including release process data and assumptions for Employers review and approval.
The results shall be used to check the safety distances on the plot (ISBL) and consequences outside the property to 3rd parties and public areas. The results shall be presented and discussed with the Employer. A Safety expert (§29a Sachverständiger) will also be consulted, organised by the Employer.
Before the Preliminary Gas dispersion, Radiation and Explosion and toxic release analysis will be started, the Terminal-FEED Contractor shall supply a Terms of Reference giving the design basis (wind speed, neutral weather conditions, location, release position, release height, release duration, leak size, process release conditions (pressure/temperature), release mass flow rates etc.) for the calculation incorporated in a structured table along the Ammonia Terminal, RTC loading, cracker and process facilities for hazardous and flammable substances as follows (ToR and Nodes to be agreed):
• Marine Ammonia Unloading Jetty including Transfer lines to shore including landfall including firefighting, spill collection, jetty control building • Ammonia Storage including BOG Liquefaction and Flare system • Cracker(s) and Flare system including Hydrogen compression and metering • Rail car loading
Loss of containment for process equipment and pipeline section shall be also taken in consideration.
The calculation shall be performed for hazardous substances e.g. liquid and gaseous ammonia and hydrogen and if applicable other flammable substances. The simulation shall be carried out preferably with PHAST or ProNuSs software.
KAS-55 Guideline “Minimum safety distances” describes basically the requirements to determine the scenarios to be considered and distinguishes two cases refer to page 31/32.
Scenarios that cannot reasonably be ruled out “Vernünftiger nicht auszuschließende Szenarien” can occur even when the operator's obligations under BImSchG Section 3, Paragraph 1 of the Major Accident Ordinance (Störfallverordnung) are met.
This section requires compliance with the state-of-the-art safety technology to mitigate leakages, i.e., in the event of a leak, leak-before-break behaviour is assumed for ductile materials. In this case, a leak size of 5 – 30 mm² can be reasonably considered. This form the basis for siting and safety distances to be considered inside the battery limit (ISBL).
Scenarios that can reasonably be excluded “Vernünftigerweise auszuschließende Szenarien (Dennoch-Störfälle)” are scenarios that can reasonably be excluded for the precautionary

actions for protected objects or urban development planning and defines the minimum distance to protective objects “Achtungsabstand”, the leak size is DN25 (490 mm²) for calculation in compliance with KAS-18. Only the average dispersion situation is considered. The release time from the leak is set at 10 minutes (600 seconds) in KAS-18, and the dispersion time for toxic calculation (e.g., in the case of pool evaporation) can be up to 1800 seconds.
The impacts of scenarios “Vernünftiger nicht auszuschließende Szenarien” must be limited and is not allowed to exceed the operating property. To assess impacts outside the operating property, the AEGL-2 values for 60 minutes must be used for ammonia. An exception may be made for neighboring companies with which a joint emergency plan exists; in these cases, AEGL-2 or AEGL-3 values for 10 minutes are permissible.
For the impacts of the KAS-18 scenarios, the AEGL-2 (160 ppm) values for 60 minutes must not reach protected objects (hospitals, schools, fun parks, high traffic public roads, etc.) for toxic fluids e.g. ammonia.
In addition, KAS-63 Guideline “Determination of the appropriate safety distance for gaseous hydrogen plants” can be used as reference.
Further the report shall include but not limited to:

• Actuators performing a role of SIS final element shall not be fitted with local manual controls, unless these controls are designed as a partial proof test mechanism and are confirmed to not interfere with the valve trip action.
10.10.3 Basic Process Control System (Level 1)
The standard applicable to the Basic Process Control System (BPCS) is DIN EN 61069. The standard covering the safety of BPCS equipment which shall be applied is DIN EN 61010.
A set of design documents shall be provided for the BPCS as per DIN EN 61069-1 – ‘Terminology and basic concepts’; namely, a System Specification Document (SSD). The Employer will allow other names to be used for these documents (subject to confirmation by Employer), as long as the information within them aligns with the standard.
A structured design methodology shall be used in the development of the BPCS. DIN EN 61069-2 ‘Assessment methodology’ is suggested as a suitably internationally recognised model for this process, and the Employer can assess the produced SSD submissions against this standard. The standard sets out a number of system ‘Properties’ as part of the requirements establishment phase, each property is then assessed and evaluated to gauge suitability and fitness for service, with these properties likely to form Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to be measured as part of Employer inspections and reviews, such as:
• The ‘Functionality’ property provided by the BPCS shall be described in the SSD such that the necessary Coverage, Configurability and Flexibility is present in the design. DIN EN 61069-3 ‘Assessment of system functionality’, provides guidance via a series of checklists which the Employer can use to assess the delivered functionality. Complex control loops shall have additional documentation, in the form of a ‘Complex Loop Description’, providing both an aid to software programming and testing, and also a reference for operational understanding and fault finding; this may be part of the SSD, or a separate document if Intellectual Property Rights are involved. • The ‘Performance’ property of the BPCS shall be detailed during the design stage, to specify requirements for Accuracy, Response Time and Capacity; so that the BPCS can deliver the right response for process quality and process safety. DIN EN 61069-4 ‘Assessment of system performance’, provides examples of the performance information expected to be presented in the SSD. • The ‘Dependability’ property of the BPCS covers properties such as Availability, Reliability, Maintainability, Credibility, Integrity and Security. • DIN EN 61069-5 ‘Assessment of system dependability’ provides techniques by which these dependability metrics can be measured. • The ‘Operability’ property of the BPCS measures how well the design implements Efficiency, Intuitiveness, Transparency and Robustness; such that the human interaction with the control system is optimized. DIN EN 61069-6 ‘Assessment of system operability’, provides examples of how operator related tasks can be built into the design. • The ‘System safety’ property of the BPCS in this context refers to Hazard reduction, Hazard isolation, Immunity/robustness, Aversion and Mitigation. DIN EN 61069-7 ‘Assessment of

system safety’ provides examples of the performance information expected to be presented in the SSD. • Finally, ‘Other system’ properties bring together topics such as Quality Assurance, System Support (technical services, maintenance services, documentation and training), Compatibility and Physical properties. DIN EN 61069-8 ‘Assessment of other system properties’, provides examples of these properties and how they can be defined within the SSD and subsequently measured.
The Employer requires that the BPCS shall be put through a series of tests to confirm that it meets the minimum requirements detailed within these Technical Requirements and also satisfies its own SSD. A logical process by which this can be achieved and successfully demonstrated is provided in the guidelines contained within DIN EN IEC 62381:2026-01.
It is expected that the provider of the IACS shall adopt the principles, stages and types of tests contained within this standard into their own Quality Management System (QMS); such as suitably detailed and in-depth Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and Site Integration Testing (SIT).
A computer-based Engineering Database shall be built and maintained as part of the design. It shall be searchable and contain the following fields as a minimum:
o tag name; o instrument type; o model number; o details of connecting cable, core, terminals, junction box; o location electrical/pneumatic/hydraulic power source isolation; o signal range and alarm limits; o field location; o documentation reference, drawing reference, maintenance reference, P&ID reference; o whether the item forms part of or is connected to: a. electrical switchgear protection; b. a Safety Instrumented System; c. an explosive atmosphere categorised loop; d. a Fire and Gas System; e. a communications network;
plus, others as required to fully describe the system.
10.10.3.1 Programmable Controllers and Modules
The applicable standards for the specification and selection of programmable controllers (i.e. CPUs for PLC and DCS) are:
• DIN EN IEC 61131 series “Programmable controllers”, part 1 ‘General information’ which sets out a minimum specification for functionality and operability, part 2 ‘Equipment requirements and tests’ documents minimum requirements for hardware and operating condition/environmental tests, part 3 ‘Programming languages’, plus others.

• DIN EN IEC 61784 “Industrial communication networks. Profiles – Functional safety fieldbuses”
The BPCS shall utilise open standards (e.g. Ethernet, TCP/IP, OPC, HART protocol, Industrial Fieldbus) to integrate control systems across all areas of the facility.
All IACS and other system communications networks and equipment (e.g. Switches and Firewalls) shall be of an industrial design suitable for use in a high integrity production environment and shall be utilised in a fault tolerant configuration.
Redundant communications networks (including fieldbus networks, e.g. Industrial Ethernet, Profibus, etc.) shall where possible utilise diverse routing.
All control system communications media and equipment shall be dedicated to control system use only. Where fieldbus technology (e.g. Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus PA and DP) is employed, installation of the fieldbus networks shall include all required features and facilities to allow on-line replacement of individual fieldbus devices without affecting the performance of the associated fieldbus network or other devices attached to it. The overall design of fieldbus networks and allocation of devices to the individual networks shall include spare capacity such that additional devices may be added in the future to all fieldbus networks.
For non-Ethernet based communications, a communication network ‘Bus Layout Drawing’ shall detail connections, cables, distances, terminations, taps and other devices.
10.10.4.9 IACS Redundancy
Under no circumstances shall lack of redundancy in control systems effectively reduce the redundancy provision of the main Terminal items. The IACS shall be structured to reflect the redundancy provisions of the Terminal such that no single fault within the control system can cause the failure of the duty plant and at the same time cause the standby plant to be unavailable. All redundant plant shall be provided with logic to allow an automatic start of standby plant to be generated, should the running duty plant be tripped or be insufficient to maintain required operating conditions.
All primary temperature elements shall be of the duplex or triplex type. Connections shall be brought out for all the elements in multi-element temperature devices such that changeover of failed elements may be performed easily. In multi-element temperature devices, at least two of the elements in each device shall be connected to a temperature transmitter such that the spare elements can be monitored remotely. The temperature transmitters shall also allow remote selection, such that in the event of failure of one element, it is possible to remotely switch-over to the associated spare element.
Where multiple redundant field devices (e.g. transmitters, switches or actuators) are employed, no more than one of the devices shall be allocated to an individual I/O module or fieldbus network. Similarly, the field installation and BPCS configuration shall include facilities to allow all faulty devices and modules to be isolated, replaced and tested ‘on-load’ without loss of operation of the whole Plant.

Where multiple transmitters and switches are employed, Operator Terminal displays shall be provided which show the value and status of all the input signals as well as the voted signal. Where appropriate, these displays shall also allow operator selection or inhibit of one or more of the input signals (to allow for maintenance and to disable known faulty inputs).
Dual redundancy or similar approach shall be applicable to all components of the IACS such that the failure of any one component or module shall not reduce the ability of the operator to control and monitor the plant.
All redundant control system components (including power supplies) shall be monitored such that an alarm is generated if any failure occurs which leads to a loss of redundancy.
Procedures and systems shall be in place to allow the manual switch-over between primary and backup devices. The switchover between systems providing redundancy shall be accompanied by an alarm.
Upgrades to IACS firmware and software, such as for the purpose of patch and vulnerability management, shall be possible without disruption to the process through the use of duplicate systems and equipment. This requirement can be relaxed for protection systems such as the SIS.
10.10.4.10 IACS Electrical Power Systems
A robust design of the power supply system providing electrical power to sensors and actuators in the field is crucial to the ability of the IACS to safely cope with malfunction and disturbance. The design shall incorporate diversity in incoming supply and outgoing distribution.
All control and instrumentation systems and equipment shall be operated from uninterruptible supplies which shall be generated independently for each consumer load group. Power supplies will not normally be permitted to exceed 230 V AC. Only in cases where it can be clearly demonstrated by the design that there is no safety hazard shall IACS equipment which needs supplies at higher voltages be permitted. For DCS type equipment, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) or sub controller systems, the use of 24 V DC is preferred supplied from dual modular redundant power feeds.
Over-current protection using circuit breakers or fuses as appropriate shall be incorporated to limit and contain faults, together with diode bridges and filters in DC systems to ensure critical devices are maintained. The operation of a circuit breaker or fuse shall be alarmed to the BPCS and shall trigger alarm conditioning to remove consequential device alarms associated with the initial loss of power, plus further conditioning to avoid any subsequent alarm flood upon power restoration.
Power supply devices and enclosures shall be chosen to be compliant with EMC directives and standards for immunity and emissions.
Low Voltage Power Supply Units (LV PSU) are common items within the IACS, with a wide range of suppliers. The Employer would prefer to limit the number of manufacturers and models as far as reasonably practicable, such that equipment from two diverse preferred original

The CCTV system shall remain independent from the IACS and shall utilise separate physical media for the transmission of video images. Use of the same Ethernet media for IACS and CCTV video is considered unacceptable.
10.10.5.2 Access Control System
The Access control system provides a layer of protection for personal, physical and cyber security to the facility, both on the perimeter and within. The applicable standard is DIN EN 60839-11-1.
10.10.5.3 Local Instrumentation and Control
Generally, facilities for local control will not be required for normal operation, however where local control facilities are provided, they shall comply with the following standards;
• DIN EN 61310 “Safety of machinery. Indication, marking and actuation”; specifically, part 3 –Requirements for the location and operation of actuators’
• DIN EN 60073 “Basic and safety principles for man-machine interface, marking and identification. Coding principles for indicators and actuators”.

10.10.6 IT/OT Security Implementation
Generally, the entire plant must be designed and built according to KRITIS requirements.
IT/OT systems need to be designed according to IEC 62443. Specifically, the project is subject to the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to operators of critical energy infrastructures as stipulated by the legal institutions in Germany. Most crucially the following guidelines shall determine the design framework relating the Information Security of IT/OT systems:
• the NIS 2 Directive, implemented nationally in Germany as the NIS2UmsuCG, including requirements for risk management, supply chain security, and reporting
• the implementation of the CER (Critical Entities Resilience) Directive, with national implementation through the KRITIS Framework Act, regarding the resilience of critical infrastructure, including requirements for physical security, emergency preparedness, and crisis management
• the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which sets out the requirements for the security of digital products and their software components and requires manufacturers and providers to address security risks throughout the lifecycle of digital products, ensure vulnerability management and regular updates, and provide transparency regarding security features and vulnerabilities
• the Energy Industry Act, along with the Federal Network Agency’s IT security catalogues, regarding requirements for information security management, intrusion detection, and record-keeping
• as well as relevant BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) guidelines (e.g., logging and intrusion detection systems)
Record-keeping is carried out through audit-proof documentation and integration into the Uniper’s ISMS.
The Employer’s specific requirements on IT/OT Security shall be made available after contract award and shall be considered.
10.10.6.1 Demilitarized Zone - DMZ (Level 3.5)

coordination with the Employer an already existing DMZ that meets the security requirements may be used.
The DMZ serves as a buffer and control zone between the OT networks close to production and the IT corporate environment. It ensures that data flows occur exclusively through authorized, protocol-checked interfaces and protects the OT environment from uncontrolled access from the corporate network. Strict segmentation and access control policies must be adhered to here, for example through firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and protocol filters.
All connections and data transfers must comply with the requirements of the Employer’s ISMS policy, the relevant security standards such as IEC 62443, and the Federal Office for Information Security (German BSI IT baseline protection. All changes to the DMZ configuration must be documented and require approval by the responsible IT and OT security officers of the Employer. In addition, it must be ensured that regular security checks, log analyses, and penetration tests are carried out in order to detect and fix vulnerabilities at an early stage.
Through this procedure, it is ensured that data exchange with the central Uniper services is carried out efficiently, traceably, and secured according to current cybersecurity requirements, without endangering the availability and integrity of the OT systems.
10.10.6.2 Security Process in Project
To ensure the project is carried out safely and reliably, information security measures are evaluated and planned according to a structured process, and their implementation is monitored. To this end, a security program in accordance with IEC 62443-2-2 must be established and implemented. This program includes the following as early as the tendering phase:
- Regulatory assessment of the project with regard to its scope.
- Overarching security objectives derived from this, which are incorporated into a security concept—including a network and zone overview—as part of the operator requirements.
- Information security qualification for key service providers and suppliers through the collection of information security certifications.
- Suitability testing of standardized components.
During the detailed planning phase, a security design is developed as a detailed specification of the cyber assets, security functions, and methods for implementing the security concept. This phase also includes conducting a security risk analysis to evaluate the information security strategy and identify potential gaps and vulnerabilities that could pose a threat to the facility’s future operation.
The system must be designed and built in such a way as to enable safe operation and ensure the seamless integration of operational processes into the site’s existing information security management system (ISMS). Security requirements are incorporated at an early stage into the system architecture, zone and line segments, technology selection, integration and testing strategy, as well as into contracts and acceptance criteria.

Process and mechanical design data information shall be provided by the Terminal-FEED Contractor to enable detailed engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up, training of the personal, performance test phase incl. performance guarantees of the project facilities. The information is required to support the EPC ITT.
10.12.1 Process Design Philosophies
Following process design philosophies shall be developed during the FEED by the Terminal- FEED Contractor.
10.12.1.1 Isolation Philosophy
The intent of this philosophy is to detail the requirements to ensure a safe and effective level of isolation is provided. This document details the isolation requirements for the process plant and associated utilities for safe isolation both for start-up, shutdown, normal operations, emergency operation and maintenance access of pipework and equipment.
The isolation philosophy objectives are to:
• Define safe, cost-effective isolation to facilitate preparation of plant for maintenance and inspection with minimum interruption to production. • Define facilities required for system / equipment draining, venting and purging. • Provide design guidelines to assist in the development of a consistent set of P&IDs. • Define methods for segregation of process and utility systems to avoid and minimize loss of containment and consequently resulting to hazard to operators, equipment and 3rd parties due to fire and toxic releases. • Define requirements for suitable isolation of tie-ins to facilitate addition/removal of equipment for phased development of production facilities (future facilities).
Isolation valves and blinds shall be provided for the safe isolation of equipment or systems/units.
The requirements for isolation are dependent on the hazardous nature of the contained fluids, the operating pressure and temperature of the system, the type of work/maintenance to be carried out under isolation and the time taken to carry out that work.
The isolation philosophy shall include safe isolation for vessels, tanks, pumps, compressors, filters, heat exchangers, packaged equipment, control valves, relief systems (e.g. pressure/ temperature relief valves, blow down valves, ESD-valves etc.), instrumentation, battery limit isolation, vent & drains.
There are two main methods of isolation:
• Positive isolation incorporating the use of spades/spectacle blinds or removable spools and blind flanges. This is the most secure form of isolation and is used where leakage presents an unacceptable risk.

• Valved isolation for less critical duties than those requiring positive isolation. Valved isolation is also required to enable positive isolation to be installed or removed without the need for a complete plant shutdown. Single isolation valves, Double block and bleed (DBB), Double isolation valve with double piston effect etc.
The Terminal-FEED Contractor shall develop the isolation philosophy during the FEED.
10.12.1.2 Transfer Pipeline Segregation and Draining Philosophy
FEED Contractor shall evaluate for the transfer pipeline between the jetty and storage tank the requirements for safety segregation of section using a quantity of ESD-valves to limit and prevent loss of containment in case of a transfer pipeline theoretical leakage. The length of the 2 x DN600 (24 inch) is ca. 3000m.
In addition, a general draining concept for the transfer pipeline and pipe section shall be proposed including description where the liquid and gaseous ammonia will be drained to including purging concept.
10.12.1.3 Emergency Shut Down Philosophy
Early detection and isolation of hazardous releases substantially limit the consequences resulting from an emergency situation, such as a major release of flammable natural gas, hydrogen or fire or toxic releases in case of ammonia. ESD shall be provided for situations where rapid isolation of an uncontrolled release is necessary to shut off sources that could feed a fire or vapour or toxic cloud.
The ESD function shall provide a means for minimising the risk to operators or the facility caused by abnormal operating conditions and external hazards.
Plant protection is provided by a hierarchy of systems and sub-systems that allow for several levels of protection. In general, activation of a higher level of shutdown will also initiate all actions associated with lower levels of shutdown in the same plant areas. The ESD will be provided on the Cause- and Effect Diagrams. The Terminal-FEED Contractor shall develop the ESD-system considering four hierarchy levels of safety actions as follows:
• ESD Level 0 – Plant Shutdown • ESD Level 1 – Partial Plant Shutdown • ESD Level 2 – Unit Shutdown • ESD Level 3 – Process Equipment Shutdown
In addition, the Emergency Shutdown requirements for Ammonia loading applicable to the Terminal-FEED Contractor must be in line with the requirements of SIGTTO. Loading operation emergency shutdown is divided into two stages.
1st Stage (ESD-I) – shuts down the cargo transfer process by:
• Closing the shoreline ESD valves • Closing the jetty head ESD valves on the jetty berths

• High speed closure of the ERS valves on the loading arms • Tripping the loading pumps and opening the pump recycle flow control valves at the carrier • Signal exchange to shore CCR
2nd Stage (ESD-II) – shuts down the transfer operation and uncouples the loading arms by:
• Closing the shoreline ESD valves • Closing the jetty head ESD valves on the jetty berths • Tripping the loading pumps and opening the pump recycle flow control valves at the carrier • High speed closure of the ERS valves on the loading arms • Release of the PERCs (i.e. disconnection between ship and jetty) • Signal exchange to shore CCR
Jetty ESD is independent of other plant ESD level shutdowns. Further ESD actions shall be developed during FEED.

• Consideration shall be given to the location of toxic ammonia sources in relation to potential gas leaks gas releases from the process plant, including the effect of the prevailing wind direction • Spill collection and Curbs may be required to retain spilled materials. Curb height shall be specified to contain the required spill volume • Escape routes: to provide personnel with at least one guaranteed clear route to a place of relative safety under emergency conditions • Hazardous area classification • Administration buildings, workshops, warehousing, laboratories and control facilities etc. shall be located to maximise where possible the separation distance between these facilities and potential sources of gas escapes, incident heat radiation or explosion overpressure resulting from credible hazard scenarios • The layout will maximise the separation between equipment and services handling potentially flammable substances, toxic substances and the plant boundary or public areas • The layout will maximise wherever possible the separation between flammable hydrocarbons (e.g. diesel storage) and potential ignition sources • The layout will maximise the separation between hydrocarbon handling areas (e.g. refilling of diesel storage) and emergency services, main safety equipment, escape routes and areas considered non-hazardous, with consideration to locate manned areas furthest from high pressure units • Plant separation shall be sufficient to ensure that all operational hazards and risks are eliminated or minimised to allow Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS), and that these considerations can be demonstrated objectively • Structural integrity shall be maintained during a hazard condition to avoid escalation and shall provide sufficient time to enable an orderly evacuation • Sufficient means of escape will be provided to enable efficient evacuation from all areas to designated muster points during a hazardous event • Flares and vents shall be located so as to cause minimum interference or hazard to plant and personnel.

10.12.1.6 Relief, blow-down and de-pressuring Philosophy
The philosophy details shall include the relief, vent and depressuring requirements for the Ammonia Project including the plant processes and associated utilities.
Objectives:
• Safe siting of process equipment considering consequences from heat radiation overpressure and toxic releases inside battery limit e.g. equipment, buildings and operators and outside property to 3rd parties with operating areas and public areas near the Plant • The depressuring systems are the primary control measures to prevent escalating fire and explosion and toxic release scenarios. By depressurising and removing flammable and toxic inventory as rapidly as practicable for safe disposal via flaring, the potential for a vapour cloud explosion or jet fire or toxic releases occurring will be significantly reduced, or in the event that it does occur the severity of the event will be significantly reduced. • The safety of personnel and the protection of equipment from damage due to overpressure are the basis for the design, sizing, and selection of pressure relieving systems. • To apply a systematic examination to all modes of operations and engineering intentions to protect the mechanical integrity of the equipment and piping systems based on all credible incidents. Provisions will be made to contain or safely relieve any excessive pressures in the system. • The equipment and piping systems will be designed, fabricated, tested, and assembled in accordance with the job specifications and will be subject to the Supplier's quality assurance and control procedures, including third party inspection. • All systems and pressure relief devices will meet applicable German codes, good engineering, industry standards and practices.
The philosophy shall consider the following:
• Emergency depressurisation e.g. mechanical overpressure protection or blow-down for reducing gas and liquid inventories e.g. in case of fire or toxic gas release with rapid closing of ESD valves and release to Flare • Prevent catastrophic vessel/equipment rupture due to stress failure as a result of excessive heat, excessive temperature and excessive pressure • Remove toxic media to reduce the impact of loss of containment • Reduce jet fire time period by quickly depressurising gas and liquid inventories • Fire zoning / Fire area for onshore plant and jetty • Depressuring design requirements and scenarios

• Pressure relief principles causing overpressure and scenarios e.g. blocked out, inadvertent valve opening, check valve leakages, power failure, instrument failure, control valve failures, hydraulic expansions, external fires and others • Equipment protection e.g. temperature safety valves, tube rupture, tube leak, failure of fans or electrical equipment, compressor with settle-out or normal operating pressure and or bypass controls and others • Pulsation considering pulsation dampers or preventing pressure pulsations in the pipework • Fire and gas detection • Pressure relief devices and rupture disks • Disposal systems for safe disposal of vapours, gases, and liquids to prevent hazardous conditions • Flare relief system to collect and dispose safely of hydrocarbon, hydrogen, ammonia containing streams which are released during start-up, shutdown, upset and emergency conditions.
10.12.1.7 Sparing Philosophy
The purpose of the sparing philosophy is to provide a basis to identify the process equipment and/or systems which are to be spared within the Ammonia operating facilities. The availability of the plant will be determined from a RAM study based on this adopted philosophy during FEED and any recommendations incorporated as necessary to meet the required availability, safety and maintenance of the plant operation. The stand-by equipment shall be configured as 100% spare or N+1 configuration. The Terminal-FEED Contractor shall develop a sparing philosophy for process equipment e.g. for vessels, loading arms, pumps, blowers, compressors heat exchangers, emergency generators, filters, flares, package units, pressure/temperature relief valves, control valves, Safety Instrumented System (depending on results from SIL/LOPA) etc..
Sparing shall also consider extra flow rate, heat duty, heat exchange surface e.g. for pumps, exchangers etc.
Sparing shall be distinguished between essential, critical and non-critical services.
Essential services are those which, if failing in operation or failing when called upon, could cause an unsafe condition, jeopardizing life, equipment, and / or inventory. Typical examples are the firewater or the flare system.
Critical services are those which, if failing in operation or failing when called upon, would result in loss of production without the possibility of an alternative operation, and/or would result in an unsafe condition during abnormal or infrequent operations such as start-up or shutdown. A typical example is the instrument air compressors.
Non-critical services are those which are neither essential nor critical and, if failing in operation or failing for a limited time when called upon, shall not cause loss of production or result in an unsafe condition. Typically, they can be repaired and returned into service while the

It shall show the assumed head count figures broken down into at least jetty personnel, RTC loading personnel, admin staff and security, Plant operators other than jetty and RTC loading, cracker operators (to be jointly assessed and agreed by Employer and Cracker-FEED Contractor) and any other required but not stated here.
The philosophy is intended as a guide at this stage as it is not possible to anticipate and present all potential circumstances which may confront the operator during the commissioning, start-up, operation, and shutdown of the planned facility. Commissioning procedures, start-up sequences and operating manuals will only be developed during the EPC phase of the project.
It is planned to operate the Plant on a manned basis 24 hours per day for 365 days per year.
The manpower structure is designed to ensure 24/7 coverage of critical operational areas, with clear delineation between control room, field operations, maintenance, and supervisory functions.
The Terminal-FEED Contractor shall provide a manpower estimate for normal operation including planned maintenance, shift requirements, security, description of functions required and a personnel organigram accordingly.

Activities include the initial checks, cleaning, and tests required to make sure that the permanent equipment and bulk materials have been installed and are ready for commissioning.
For mechanical systems, pre-commissioning activities consist of cleaning and flushing of pipes, pressure testing of complete systems, and leak testing, 1st fill of lubricants, drying agents, catalyst etc.. Any rotating equipment such as a pump are bump tested, which means rotating for the first time on site to verify current draw, pressure, and flow rates. There may be an initial run- in period of motors and pumps to verify vibration and heating/cooling as well as confirm no infant mortality issues. For electrical systems, pre-commissioning activities consist of panel energization, communication checks, loop checks (internal and external), and verification of any wiring to the central control room if required. More detailed electrical checks of automation or control/protection circuit may be required, to confirm that any minor updates since FAT are uploaded to equipment, and that the correct protection settings are applied to protection devices. Current injections are done on any current transformers to verify correct polarity and calibration prior to applying primary power to major equipment. Pre-commissioning checklists are completed for each piece of equipment and may be witnessed by Employer to verify tasks are being completed.

10.15.2 Commissioning Philosophy
The Terminal-FEED Contractor shall develop a preliminary Commissioning Philosophy.
Later, a Commissioning Team will develop a detailed Commissioning plan including schedule and milestones.
Commissioning consists of cold/dry commissioning and hot/wet commissioning. Dry commissioning confirms proper function of mechanical systems without process fluids, while wet commissioning adds the process fluids and chemicals to confirm operation. Electrical commissioning consists first of pre-energization safety. When equipment is first energized as a system, it may be that construction is still taking place next to equipment currently under test, and it must be ensured that power is safely isolated from any equipment installations. Once isolations are confirmed, equipment racks are powered up and system integration can occur. The field devices are verified to be correctly reflected on HMI screens, and that control of field devices can be done from the central control location. End-to-end communications are verified as accurate and reliable. Once all mechanical and electrical components are complete, system commissioning can begin, where all the electrical and mechanical equipment works together as a system for the first time. Auxiliary systems are brought online followed by major apparatus, and interfaces are verified for all equipment. It is now that all the systems are available and ready for startup of the plant processes. Commissioning checklists are completed and witnessed by Employer. Similar to previous stages, the deficiency/ Punch list is updated with any newly discovered deficiencies, and all main deficiencies are rectified prior to moving to the next steps. 3rd Parties e.g. local authority and 3rd body inspector will review the plant for verification that design has been met according to permit.
A certificate issued by the EPC Contractor to document that his Commissioning scope has been carried out. The Commissioning certificates shall be used per Commissioning package.

10.15.5 Performance Test Run Philosophy
The Terminal-FEED Contractor shall develop a preliminary Performance Test Run Philosophy.
Later a Performance Test Run Team will develop a detailed Performance Test Run plan according to contract including schedule and milestones.
Any mode of operation including start-up, ramp-up/down, minimum turndown and normal operation and finally ESD systems shall be proven including fine tuning of the plant process operation is conducted by the Performance Test Run Team with the Employer. Once tuned, the contract may require a trial period where the plant process is expected to operate uninterrupted for a period of time (to be defined). Shall the system operation be interrupted, the trial period starts again. Once the trial period is completed successfully, the Provisional Acceptance Certificate (PAC) is issued. The contract may also specify a performance guarantee period, where the plant processes are expected to meet certain contractual criteria over a period of time (to be defined). The performance guarantee period may have commercial impacts dependent on the performance achieved. Once the performance guarantee period is complete and commercial impacts have been determined, the Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC).
The Performance Test Run Philosophy shall consider:
• Introduction and purpose • Definitions • Organigram of the Performance Test Run Team • HSSE requirements • Performance Test Run execution strategy o Provide notice for performance testing o Ensure all monitoring and measuring devices are in place, operating correctly and calibrated within the accuracy and timescale required o Carry out testing and issue initial raw data o Provide performance test report o Sign off checklists and handover documents o Others • Work permit activities • On-site tools to carry out performance test e.g. temporary vents and instrumentation • Sequential preparation and Performance Test Run of the equipment • Performance Test Run completion / Punch List / close-out and hand over to Performance Test Run team including signature confirming that equipment is operated and performance test run has been successfully carried out per the design

11 Permitting
Employer will be responsible for the execution of the permitting process, including engagement of the authorities and submission of the permit application.
The Terminal-FEED Contractor shall support this process by providing required input information as described below, and, if required, participate in alignment meetings with authorities.
11.1 General Permitting Regime
The Hydrogen Import Terminal Wilhelmshaven is subject to approval in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). In accordance with the 4th BImSchV Annex 1 No. 4.1.12 and 9.3.1, an approval procedure must be carried out in accordance with Section 10 BImSchG with public participation. It must be considered that the Plant is subject to the Hazardous Incident Ordinance (12th BImSchV). As the quantity thresholds for anhydrous ammonia are exceeded in accordance with Annex I no. 2.5 of the Hazardous Incident Ordinance, the Plant is an upper-class operating area with extended obligations in accordance with §§9-12. The competent authority for carrying out the approval procedure in accordance with the BImSchG is the Oldenburg State Trade Supervisory Office (GAA).
The Plant must be designed in accordance with the applicable technical regulations for major accident facilities (in particular TRAS, KAS, AwSV).
According to current legislation, there is an obligation to carry out an EIA. In addition, a permit under water law is required in accordance with Section 8 WHG, probably in conjunction with Section 57 WHG or the IZÜV (Ordinance on the Regulation of the Procedure for the Approval and Monitoring of Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants and Water Uses). The competent authority for carrying out the approval procedure is the Lower Saxony State Agency for Water Management, Coastal Defence and Nature Conservation (NLWKN).
Due to the annual hydrogen production capacity of the Plant of approx. 350,000 tons, corresponding to an energy volume of approx. 13,400 GWh/a, as well as the annual handling capacity of the jetty, the Plant is expected to be classified as critical infrastructure (KRITIS) within the meaning of the BSI Act (BSIG) and the KRITIS Umbrella Act (as of January 2025: government draft passed, law not yet promulgated). The associated requirements must be considered in the design of the Plant.
11.2 3rd Party Expert Studies
For the permitting process, Employer will engage 3rd parties for the following expert studies outlined in Table 3. The Terminal-FEED Contractor shall provide required input information to the experts. Furthermore, any design requirements resulting from these studies (e.g. noise, fire protection, AwSV) shall be incorporated into the Terminal-FEED deliverables. For example, if the noise expertise results in unacceptable noise levels, appropriate re-design measures shall be considered. The Terminal-FEED contractor shall consider such iterations in his offer.
