First Aruban Dive Rescue Specialists Trained at Lago


The four trainees, Garcia, Peters, Lelto and Marchena together with
their instructors Russell and Wenger ready to jump into the sea.
From February 15-26 Charles Russell and Doug Wenger, dive
rescue specialists and instructors at the Louisiana State
University's Firemen Training Program, conducted a
specialized Water/Dive Rescue Training Program at Lago. It
was the first program of this type to be conducted in the
Netherlands Antilles

Andres Garcia and Hendrik Peters from the Mechanical
Department and Ronald Leito and Marciano Marchena from
the Industrial Security Department underwent this intensive
training and are now fully equipped to respond to any
drowning incidents They are now certified scuba divers,
possess a Dive Rescue Specialist Certificate I and are
members of the International Association of Dive Rescue
Specialists based in Colorado, U.S.A.

For two weeks, Messrs Garcla, Peters, Leito and Marchena
had to undergo training of 12to 17hoursdaily. During thefirst
week they successfully completed an advanced open water
diving course. The second phase included underwater
accident scene response, underwater crime scene
investigation and other subjects as part of the Dive Rescue I
course. The students had to train at diving sites with
unfavorable conditions, and had to overcome many
obstacles: rough water, darkness (they dived late at night) and
other unforeseen circumstances

"We try to give them the same circumstances they could
encounter in a real situation This isn't sport diving where you
yourself decide where and when to go diving.You have to go
where the victim is in order to rescue him, and that could be in
a hazardous environment.
However, we also teach them "risk-benefit", this means they
have to evaluate the scene and determine what the risks are


Prome Arubianonan

Specialisa den Rescate den

Awa Entrena na Lago
Dia 23 pa 27 di Februan, Srs Charles Russell y Doug Wenger,
specialistanan den rescate den awa y instructornan den e
Program di Entrenamento pa Candela na Louisiana State
University, a conduci un Programa especialisa den
Entrenamento di Rescate den Awa na Lago. Esaki tabata e
prome program di e sorto aki cu a tuma lugar na Antillas
Holandes.
Andres Garcia y Hendrik Peters di Mechanical Department
hunto cu Ronald Leito y Marciano Marchena di Industrial
Security Department a pasa e entrenamento intensive aki y
awor ta equipa pa acudi na tur caso cu ta envolvi hogamento.


The students must have great personal motivation and be in a
good physical condition in order to take part in this training",
the instructors said.

"What is most important in our training are the techniques we
use underwater We have special equipment and techniques
to locate the victim and we teach our students how to use them
efficiently. It might only take them three minutes in the water
before they locate the person", said Charles and Doug. They
also stressed the need to teach their students the importance
of reflex action.
"You have to learn to react immediately under any
circumstances underwater. You should not think on what to
do next, you should practice until it becomes a reflex.
There is no time to waste. We teach them how to take care of
themselves, to survive while saving others".

Immediately after the victim is recovered, the resuscitation
procedures begin. "First, don't give up. The "apparently"
drowned victim may feel cold, with blue nails, dilated eyes, no
detectable pulse or heartbeat and some stiffness. However,
that doesn't necessarily mean that the person is dead," they
said. In the past, it was believed that a drowning victim would
be dead after four minutes underwater. However, the results
of a research conducted more recently show that water below
700F reduced the oxygen need of the tissues, which greatly
reduced the blood supply to the various parts of the body
while reserving the remaining blood oxygen for the brain
("mammalian diving reflex"). Because of this, the study
concluded, a victim could stay longer underwater then
expected and still remain alive.
To show the importance of putting forth an effort to save the
victim, Charles and Doug related an experience of a victim
who stayed for 45 minutes underwater and was saved. This
person recuperated without any signs of brain damage.
Another victim showed signs of life after being worked on for
three hours. "Most people are not aware of these facts, and
therefore may consider the victim dead before he really is".
In case of a drowning incident, the following procedure
should be followed:
1. Attempt to aid the victim in the water by whatever means
available floatablee object, line, etc.). However, if a person is
not properly trained in water rescue techniques, he is not
recommended to enter the water to render aid.
2. If there are others in the area, designate someone else to
notify Lago Security immediately (tel. 2222).
3. Remain at the scene td provide necessary information to
Security and Rescue personnel.

Messrs. Garcia, Peters, Leito and Marchena have been on the
city pager system since last February 26 to ensure a 24-hour
response capability. The new skills of this team will hopefully
not be needed, but if any emergency does arise Lago now has
the capability to deal with it.

Seawise Giant moors at Reefberth


--..!


Seawise Giant entering Reefberth with the assistance of tugs,
"Niemue", "Esso Oranjestad", "Esso San Nicolaas" and "Djogogo
(Bonaire)".

The Seawise Giant, the world's largest tanker was moored on
January 27, 1982 at Lago's Reefberth II

The 565 DWT Seawise Giant, built in Japan in 1979, has been
enlarged into a tanker 1504 feet long, 225 feet wide and 97 feet
deep. This massive operation involved cutting the already
huge tanker (420.000 DWT) into two and inserting a specially
built midbody 81.45 feet long and boosting the size by over
140.000 DWT, itself the equivalent of a good-sized tanker.

The Seawise Giant carries a crew of 36 and is highly
automated. Its engine room can be operated with computer
controlled and remote control equipment in operation,
including a T.V. engine room monitor in the chief engineer's
quarters.
There are 49 cargo oil tanks including two slop tanks. Main
navigation aids. include Satellite System, Data Bridge and
collision avoidance system. A special feature on the deck is a
massive box girder extending over the new midbody and
beyond each end for additional strengthening
The welded joints down the sides of the hull where the
midbody was joined to the fore and aft bodies are hardly
noticeable.


Tinchi Semeleer and
the Captain of Sea-
wise Giant are
checking the posl-
tion of the ship prior
s to docking.
The big ship required special docking operations with the
assistance of Lago's tugs: "Esso Oranjestad" captained by
Bito Semeleer and "Esso San Nicolas" under command of
Wiwi Maduro. Two leased tugs also assisted in this operation.
The Seawise Giant was piloted during docking by Tinchi
Semeleer of Process Oil Movements The Oil Movements
Terminal personnel who assisted at Reefberth II were
Piermaster Pedro Quant and a mobile gang. Because of its
length, the vessel required extra mooring, ten forward and ten
aft.

Its cargo of almost 4 million barrels was discharged in about
74 hours. The average discharge rate was 54000 barrels per
hour. However during 12 hours the discharge rate peaked as
high as 110,000 barrels per hour. 9 shore tanks were provided
to receive the Seawise Giant cargo. Each tank with a total
capacity of 530,000 barrels

"Kingdom of Montezuma" represents dedication,


enthusiasm of Esso Club Members


The gods of Montezuma, the double-headed snakes and the
witches have all joined in the Aruba Grand Carnival Parade as
part of the Esso Club carnival group. And again this year Esso
Club conquered the prize as the Group of the Year 1982.

By just glancing at the many road-, body-and head pieces, the
costumes and the floats of "The Kingdom of Montezuma", one
is amazed by the amount of time and dedication spent on their
design and construction "We see beautiful costumes in our
Carnival, but what we see has been completed and beautifully
decorated All the work behind the scenes has been
accomplished through voluntary work by some members. The
persons who were more involved in their free time with the
construction and design were Nico Quant, Dolf Robles de
Medina, Joe van der Linden, Tico Maduro, Angelo Geerman
and myself", Frits Maduro commented.

It all starts with an idea that is developed into a theme by the
Club's Carnival Committee. Imagination starts running and
designs are created for the costumes and floats. A sample of
the costume is made and a music band contacted to calculate
the total cost of the project.
And then the time consuming work starts: construction and


decoration of all costumes at the Esso Club. "Two groups are
set up, one to work on the frame the other on the decoration.
They are experienced and dedicated workers and if it wasn't
for them, the Esso Club would not be able to present such a
high quality of well designed and well created group",
commented Doy Genser, vice chairman of the Club. No
wonder the Esso Club received prizes as the Group of the
Year. This year and in 1981 ("Peacock Fantasy").

While the committee controls the schedule and the budget,
they have to contact the seamstresses, purchase the food and
beverages, rent heavy equipment to pull the float and to seat
the band, and arrange for the transportation of the body and
road pieces and much more.
In a month's time the volunteer workers completed the pieces
for the 225 Esso Club participants in the parade.
Ovi Croes, Club Manager, finds it difficult to mention the
names of contributing persons since so many were involved in
one way or another. Everyone worked hard to accomplish
what the entire Aruban community enjoyed in the Grand
Parade, and they should draw a great deal of satisfaction and
pride from the magnificent work they created by their
enthusiasm and dedication.

Equipment Inspectors: The Doctors of the Refinery

Most major refineries such as Lago nave an equipment
inspection function which has the responsibility for
conducting inspection and maintaining records on operating
equipment to assure safe, reliable and economic operation of
the installations. Like doctors, the inspectors examine,
record, and recommend procedure to prevent trouble.
At Lago the Equipment Inspection Section (E.I.S.) has the
responsibility for inspecting all equipment, with the exception
of rotating, electrical, and instrumentation equipment,
ranging from the major operating units to playground
facilities. The E.I.S., a section of the Technical Department,
Operations Support Division, is headed by a supervising
engineer who supervises two groups consisting of seventeen
inspectors. Two group heads direct the daily activities of the
groups. Additionally an outside contracting firm, employing
technicians, supports the E.I.S, with non-destructive testing
(NDT) assistance.
The inspector's prime function is to predict and monitor
equipment corrosion or deterioration so as to avoid
unscheduled unit shutdowns an unexpected equipment
failures which can be costly in terms of lost production and
replacement. To accomplish this function he has at his
disposition equipment history data, and the services of the
NDT technicians who obtain necessary thickness
measurements to assist him in establishing accurately when
to retire or replace defective equipment. The NDT
technician's main job is to measure, radiograph, or probe
equipment or areas of equipment such as towers, drums
furnace tubes, piping, etc. and to submit information obtained
to the inspector for evaluation.
The major portion of the inspector's work involves reviewing
of equipment past records to prepare preliminary work
requests and repair lists for turning around primary units,
harbor installations and tanks. Before preparing a typical list
for eventual inclusion in a package, which also may contain
equipment sketches and miscellaneous drawings, he
conducts an onstream inspection of the particular facility,
noting defective and corroded components and obtaining
thickness data. The completed package is submitted to the
Mechanical Department for execution of the work contained
in it. During turnarounds he inspects the equipment, submits
recommendations for additional repairs and renewals,
attends turnaround meetings, ad documents findings. After
the turnaround he issues a report highlighting the major
turnaround accomplishments and anticipated major future
repairs and material requirements.
An inspector spends much time in collecting and recording
equipment historical data for monitoring equipment
deterioration. To further enhance E.I.S. data storage and
retrieval capabilities Lago has been implementing a computer
based system called Fixed Equipment Records System
(FERS).
This system is being instituted at the same time by most Exxon
U.S.A. refineries. The system is designed to maintain a
computer data base of inspection data forall fixed (stationary)
equipment in the refinery. Once data input is completed, the

system will improve the efficiency of evaluating equipment
performance and condition. It will also improve the planning
of preventive maintenance activities

The inspector dedicates a portion of his time to advising
others on corrosion and materials of construction related
matters Also, he conducts minor investigations involving
material and equipment failures and both short and long
duration testing of materials and products, such as
refractories and paints, with the objective of evaluating their
performance and recommending their adoption for refinery
use
One of the important aspects of the inspector's job is his
safety and the safety of the people with whom he works
Safety is emphasized to such a degree that Lago's E I S has
had an impressive safety record, working for over thirty years
without a disabling injury.
The term "inspector" as applied to equipment inspection in an
oil refinery means an individual that has specialized skills,
developed and acquired through training and deversified
experience. The inspector must be competent in the use of
specialized tools and instruments utilized for measurements
and testing Some of the instruments used by E I S include
hardness testers, a corrosometer, the cathodic protection
meter, netrasonic thickness gauges, and radiographic
equipment. He must be familiar with the different standards,
specifications, and codes used in the petroleum industry He
must be physically fit to climb high places and enter
equipment

The E.I.S. has a laboratory in the Mechanical Shop Building
for conducting investigation and testing of materials and
failure analysis. The lab is equipped with a hydraulic
tensile/compression testing machine, a Rockwell hardness
tester, and equipment for polishing metal samples for micro-
structural examination (Continued on page 81

Equipment Inspectors ... (Continued from page 6)

In order to perform ano progress in their work, inspectors
attend specially tailored courses in the techniques and
application of welding, paints and plastics, refractories, and
non-destructive testing, in the use of the various Exxon, Lago,
and industry standards and specifications, and in the
principles of metallurgy and corrosion. These courses are
held at Lago and Exxon U.S. affiliates. The inspectors go
about their daily work inspecting equipment to detect flaws to
minimize hazardous conditions and to keep the refinery on
stream. Like a doctor handles a patient, it is better to examine
and check trouble before it occurs.


I Inspectornan di Equipo ...


(Continua di pagina 7)


E.I.S. tin un laboratorio den e edificio di Mechanical Shop pa
conduci e investigacionnan y pa test e materialnan y e
analysis di fayo. E laboratorio ta equipa cu un "hydraulic
tensile/compressing testing machine", un "Rockwell
hardness tester" y equiponan pa pull e pidanan di metal pa e
examination micro-structural.

Pa por eherce y progress den nan trabaow e inspectornan ta
atende cursonan special riba e technicanan y aplicacion di
welder, verfnan y plasticonan "refractories" y testnan cu no ta
destrui material den e uso di diferente standardnan y
specificacionnan di Exxon, Lago y di industrial tambe den e
principionan di metallurgia y corusion. E cursonan aki ta
wordo duna na Lago y na e afiliadonan di Exxon.
E trabow diario di e inspectornan ta pa inspection equiponan,
detect fayonan y minimalisa e condicionnan peligroso y pa
mantene e refineria den operation.
Mescos cu un doctor ta examine un paciente, ta mihor pa
examine y control e problema prome cu e pasa.

y esey lo por ta den un lugar peligroso. Sinembargo, nos ta
sinja nan "beneficio di risico" tambe. Esaki ta nifica cu nan
mester evalua un caso y determine kiko e risiconan ta
E studiantenan mester tin un motivacion personal hopi grand
y nan mester ta den un bon condition fisico pa nan por
participa den e entrenamento aki", e instructornan a bisa
"Locual ta masha important di nos entrenamento ta e
technicanan cu nos ta usa bao awa Nos tin equiponan y
technicanan especial pa localisa e victim y nos ta instrui nos
studiantenan con pa usanan eficientemente Quizas nan lo
tuma solamente tres minuut den awa prome cu nan localsa e
persona", Charles y Doug a bisa Tambe nan a enfatisa e
necesidad pa sinja nan studiantenan e importancia di "reflex"
"Bo mester sinja reacciona mmediatamente bao tur
circumstancia bao awa Bo no mester pensa ariba local
mester word hasi, bo master practikele teora e bira un reflex
No tin tempo di perde Nos ta sinlanan con pa cuida nan mes
pa sobrebibi salbando otronan
Inmediatamente despues cu e curpa word recobra, e
proceduranan di resucitacion ta cuminsa "Primeramente no
perde speransa. Quizas e victim cu "aparentemente" a hoga
por ta frieuw, cu hunjanan blauw, wowonan hincha y sin cu bo
por sinti su pulso of curason y un poco stijf
Sinembargo, esey no kier meen necesaramente cu e persona
ey a muri," nan a bisa. Den pasado tabata word opina cu e
victim cu ta hogando lo murl despues di cuatro minuut bao
awa Sinembargo, e resultadonan di un experiment
cientifico conduct reclentemente a mustra cu awa menos di
700F ta reduce e necesidad di oxigeno di e celnan, local ta
reduci e cantidad di sanger cu ta bai pa dlferente partinan di e
curpa mientras cu e resto di oxigeno ta ser reserve pa e
cerebro ("mammalian diving reflex") Pa e motibo aki, e
studio a conclui, un victim por keda pa mas cu cuatro
minuut bao awa y toch keda bibo
Pa demostra e importancia di hasi un esfuerzo pa salba e
victim, Charles y Doug a relata un experiencia di un victim
cu a keda 45 minuut bao awa y cu a word salba
E persona aki a recupera sin ningun senja di danjo celebral
Un otro victim a mustra senja di bidatedespuescu un hende
a traha ariba dje durante tres ora Mayoria di hendenan no ta
na altura di e hechonan aki y pesey nan por consider un
hende morto prome cu en realidad e ta morto.
En caso di un incident di hogamento, e siguiente
proceduranan mester word sigi
1. Purba yuda e victim cu cualquier medionan disponibel
(un obheto flotante. linja, etc ) Sinembargo, no ta
recomendabel pa e persona drenta awa pa yuda e victim si e
no ta apropiadamente entrena den technicanan di rescate den
awa
2 Si tin otro hende den vecindarro, design un otro pa
notifica Segurldad di Lago inmediatamente (tel 2222)
3 Keda na e lugar pa duna e information necesarlo na
personal di Seguridad y Rescate.
