The terminal consists of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility and an SBM moored about 1 mile ENE of it. The FPSO (Dalia) is equipped with a racon and surmounted at the bow by a conspicuous flare. Vessels up to 400,000 dwt can moor to the SBM or berth in tandem bow-to-bow with the FPSO.

Dalia FPSOPilotage is compulsory. Pilots, who act as mooring masters, can be contacted by VHF and board about 3 miles N of the FPSO. Berthing is carried out only during daylight hours.

Vessels should send an ETA 72 hours, 48 hours, and 24 hoursin advance. They should then contact the terminal by VHF 4 hours prior to arrival.

A designated waiting area, with a radius of 2 miles and a depth of 1,100m, lies centered about 6 miles N of the FPSO. Vessels should approach this area from the N.

The FPSO is located within the restricted area, with a radius of 10 miles, which is centered on Girassol Terminal. Vessels are prohibited from entering this area without prior permission.
