DFSP Point Loma

• DESC working with Point Loma to control delivery
  schedule
  
• Projects submitted (via 1391) for
• New tank bottom for Tank 43- awaiting funding
  approval
  
• API 653 for Tank 45- awaiting funding approval
• Repair liner in 78,83,85,86 and 88
• Potential warranty issues on 85, 86, and 88.
• Repair approved by DESC, awaiting estimate
  from ktr.
  
• FY07 MILCONs to replace JP-5/DFM Tanks
• Operational Impact Point Loma can support
  peacetime and war scenarios at this time

8
DFSP Pearl Harbor

• 32 Inch outside pipeline OOC (F76)
• Impact Unable to receive and issue F76
  simultaneously and increases refueling times due
  to reduced flow rate
  
• MILCON project submitted for FY07 to replace all
  pipelines. Pipeline is limited in operation
  until MILCON is completed
  
• Scheduling conflicts requires coordination
  between DFSP Pearl Harbor, Port Ops, MSC, DESC,
  and 3rd Fleet
  
• Operational Impact Depends on the scenario

9
DFSP San Pedro

• GOCO Facility
• NAVSUP owns the property
• NAVPETOFF is the absentee landlord
• NAVPETOFF desires to transfer property to CPF
• Letter sent requesting transfer in the spirit and
  intent of regionalization and installation
  claimant consolidation (CNO message 232110Z JUN
  97)
• CNO message 192215Z DEC 97 states regionalization
  and installation claimant consolidation does not
  apply to GOCO facilities
  
• CPF N46 and Southwest Region reviewing contract
  between DESC and contractor
  
• Concerns financial burdens
• Who really wants to own property?
• Why is this an issue?
• Chief of the Supply Corps Priority
• Who will protect the Blue Butterfly?

10
DFSP Guam

• Manning Problems 11 people run the operation
• Most Efficient Organization (MEO) implemented in
  1997 that included two mutual support
  agreements
  
• CNM N4 would provide engineering support
• Support has never fully materialized
• PWC Guam perform corrective maintenance under
  Maintenance Service Agreement (MSA)
  
• Omitted from BOS contractor PWS
• Additional mission since implementation of MEO
• Store, receive, and issue IFO-180 for Maritime
  Pre-positioned Ships (MPS)
  
• Funding for two FTEs from MSC has not happened
• Increase in throughput over the last five years

11
GUAM TOTAL THROUGHPUT
(in thousands of barrels)
12
DFSP Guam

• Customers satisfied with service
• They provide the right product to the right
  location at the right time on-spec
  
• CPF completed Shore Manning Requirement
  Determination (SMRD) in March 2002
  
• Where would additional FTEs come from?
• MEO 5 year review ends in July 03 what are DFSP
  Guams options?
  
• MOA with DESC?

13
DFSP Diego Garcia

• Requires increased F76 storage capacity
• 358 Mbbls storage capacity (331 Mbbls usable)
• In 1999, 8 LMSRs changed homeport to Diego Garcia
  (Total 17 MPS ships)
  
• Over a two year period, F76 have increased 51
  per month
  
• During OEF, F76 inventory levels were almost
  depleted on a few occasions
  
• Inventory levels below inviolate levels to
  receive a tanker
  
• MILCON project submitted for FY07
• DESC desires to store JP8 on as need basis
• JP5 requirements between Nov 01 Jan 02 were 18
  Mbbls/day
  
• Difficulties in sourcing JP5 in the region
• DESC request 1391 to make modifications to the
  infrastructure to give Diego Garcia the ability
  to receive/issue JP8 for contingencies
  
• Requested Optimization Study for right mix of
  fuels

14
Future of Fuel Operations in Singapore

• Role of Singapore in Southeast Asia
• Current Fuel Support Process
• Possible Solutions
• What the U.S. Navy desires?

15
Role of Singapore

• Singapore occupies a strategic position at the
  tip of the Malay peninsula, the southern terminus
  of the Straits of Malaccaa historic shipping
  lane between the Malay peninsula and Sumatra.
• From the U.S. perspective, both its location and
  international policy views are of great value to
  the U.S. in supporting
  
• U.S. 7th fleet activities from the Philippines
  and Guam southwest to Diego Garcia.
  
• U.S. Air Force aircraft transiting similar routes
  in either direction, including between Guam and
  Thailand.
  
• Refueling support for DESC to provide bulk fuel
  in support of all U.S. forces operating over a
  wide range of the Western Pacific and Indian
  Oceans.
• CLF load adjust port for fuel, subsistence, cargo
  and fleet freight.

17
Current Fuel Support Process

• U.S. vessels are currently supplied with U.S.
  owned fuel stocks that are stored at DFSP
  Senoko.
  
• Re-supply at DFSP Senoko made with contracts
  between UK and local/overseas suppliers.
  
• Commercial barges must be hired to carry F76 from
  DFSP Senoko to ships at Changi NB.
  
• JP5 supplied at Changi NB by trucks.

18
Possible Solutions

• Status Quo
• Commitments from GoS required
• Investment repaired in improvements and upgrades
• Increased storage at Changi NB
• Poor fuel support no storage capacity
• GoS will not increase storage to meet US needs
• Jurong Island
• Restrictive and costly
• Another Country
• Market Analysis conducted by DESC

19
What does the U.S. Navy desire?

• Bulk fuel support of Navy oilers could be
  obtained at Jurongbut operationally, the
  one-stop replenishment for all commodities at
  Sembawang is more attractive
• Bottom line We need a long term commitment
  between the US and GoS and between UK and GoS to
  continue use of Senoko
  
• Invest in DFSP Senoko once commitment received
• No commitments cost analysis on options,
  including Jurong option and a market analysis by
  DESC to determine best location to support fuel
  operations in Southeast Asia

20
T-AO Support

• Are there enough T-AOs to support the next
  phase?
  
• 7 FOS T-AOs in PACFLT
• IDTC, predeployment workups
• Transit support to CVBG/ARGs
• 3rd, 5th, 7th Fleet operations
• FDNF CVBG shuttle service
• USS Kitty Hawk station oiler
• KAISER in ROS-30 cost to CPF 8.7 million
• Other operational options
• CONSOLS with MSC long-term chartered T-5 Tankers
• 5 total world-wide and all have CONSOL
  capability
  
• 2 have the Modular Fueling Delivery Stations
  (MFDS)
  
• Use station oilers as shuttle oilers
• Foreign CLF assets
• BP-38 Capitalization
• FEA/Non-FEA Governments
• Japanese Free Fuel

21
ITT Barton Gages

• Currently in use at CONUS USN/USMC air stations
• Measures tank volume
• Accuracy problem
• Can not be used for leak detection
• Installed approximately 7 years ago
• Obsolete Nitrogen Bubble Technology
• Increasing maintenance problem
• Request DESC accelerate plans to retrofit these
  gages with improved ones such as GSI

22
War Reserve Requirements

• Standardization of Calculations
• Should all fuel burners in the TPFDD be included
  in the calculations?
  
• Ships and Aircraft only or
• Should trucks and generators be included
• Why isnt fuel required prior to day C0 included
  in war reserve?
  
• What should the assumptions be?
• What speed should ships surge?
• What speed should ships sustain?
• When do ships arrive? EAD or LAD?
• Should all ships start from their homeport?
• How much fuel does each ship require before
  departing homeport?
  
• Are there en route stops? Guam and/or Pearl
  Harbor?
  

23
War Reserve Calculations

• Nice to Have Data base that includes
• Standardized burn rates for ships and aircraft
• If required, all fuel burners
• Capacities of fuel tanks ships bunker and
  cargo
  
• Computer program to calculate War Reserve
• Is ICIS the tool?

24
Summary

• Navy has various issues in the Pacific Fleet
• Issues being worked but some issues have no near
  term solutions
  
• If there are other navy fuel issues in the
  Pacific, please contact CPF Fuels Officer
  
• Request DESCs continued support of navy fuel
  issues in the pacific
