Mooring: Preparation for Mooring: Vessels must have in position a Pilot
ladder and/or hoisting ladder or a gangway which is safe and firmly
protected for immediate use and sufficiently long to reach the Monobuoy
Berthing Masters launch.
For vessels with a freeboard of 40 ft. or more, the gangway must be
extended, lowered and the platform must not be more than 10 ft. from
sea level, a Pilot ladder shall also be provided for boarding the platform.
Vessels must provide a lee on the port side for the embarkation or
disembarkation of Monobuoy Berthing Masters.
Vessels must have prepared on the forecastle and in the bow section
the following:
(a)
(b)
2 mooring cables of polypropylene if possible.
2 veering cables 5 in. circumference, min. length 300 ft.
Vessels must have ready amidships and on the port side the following:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Derrick equipped and ready to lift equipment from the launch.
Mooring shackles.
Wire and equipment for connecting hoses.
Note: If vessels moor with the aid of tugs, the Port Pilot will indicate the
number of tugs to be used and the cables required.
Mooring at the Monobuoy: The Monobuoy is equipped with a cable
19 in. in diameter and 180 ft. long (55 m.) and with a breaking strain of
795.6 tons, its ends having collars and special cable protections with
corresponding shackles. The shackle which connects it to the Monobuoy
has a test strain of 688.8 tons and this is connected to a meter, which
indicates at any time the strain to which the whole assembly is subjected.
The shackle placed at the other end has a test strain of 510 tons and
is connected to a length of chain of two different dimensions, its total
length being 40 ft. (12 m.). The first 25 ft. (8 m.) are of 4 in. ending in
two lengths of 702 mm. length and 440 mm. wide, and which are
connected to the remaining 15 ft. (5 m.) of chain with a dimension of
2.75 in. which ends in two open links 478 mm. long and 293 mm. wide.
The end of this length of chain is connected by means of a shackle
S.W.L. 40 tons to a plaited cable of polypropylene 11 in. diameter and
250 ft. (76 m.) long, known as the approaching cable. The end of this
cable is identified by means of a small 12 in. diameter buoy connected
to it by means of a 0.5 in. guy and 5 ft. long. The weight of the length
of chain mentioned above is supported by a cylindrical buoy 3,600 kg.
in weight.
When the vessel is close to the Monobuoy the crew must pay out the
end of the veering cable through the central fairlead or nearest alternative
lead available on the port side, whilst at the same time, various flexible
cables 16 in. or 10 in. are made fast on board, according to the tonnage,
to each bitt and also to the bow, and if there is no central fairlead
available, onto the bitts on the port side. Once on board, the chain will
be made fast to the cables by means of two 4 in. or 2.5 in. shackles
according to the type of cable to be used. Where the vessel has a Smit
Bracket or similar type of berthing fitment, the chain will be made fast
to this. Vessels of less than 150,000 d.w.t. will be connected to the
2.75 in. chain and those exceeding this tonnage will be connected to the
4 in. chain.
Whilst the vessel is berthed at the Monobuoy a tug will remain
alongside in the event of it being necessary to remove the vessel from
the Monobuoy, in which case she must have available at the stern a
very good towing line.
Turbine vessels which may have their propellor turning, must goastern
so as not to come close to the buoy and cause damage.
Connection and Disconnection of Hoses: General: The Monobuoy has
two floating hoses 20 in. in diameter for discharge and loading which
end in 316 in. diameter sections, each for direct connection having an
approximate weight of 7 tons. The hoses will be hoisted and connected
by the crew of the vessel in collaboration with the foreman and two
deckmen from the Terminal. The Monobuoy Berthing Master will assist
the vessels officers in the connection operations. For supply of bunkers
there is a 12 in. diameter hose available with a weight limit which is less
than those mentioned above.
Derricks: All tankers operating at the Monobuoy must have a derrick
with minimum capacity of 10 tons on the port side.
Flanges: The connecting flanges are 16 in. ASA for loading/unloading
and 12 in. 150 ASA for bunkers. In the event of vessels not having
flanges of these dimensions or reducers, this should be notified by radio
72 hours in advance.
Ballasting and Deballasting: Anti-pollution precautions: The vessels
Master must take the necessary measures so that there is no loss of
dirty ballast and is responsible at all times for damages and costs which
may originate from this.
Scuppers: Before commencing operations the scuppers must be closed.
Sea Valves: During the operation of ballasting, the tightness of the
sea valves and inlets must be checked, taking all precautions to obviate
contamination of the sea.
Ballasting/Deballasting during the night: If these operations are carried
out during the night, the area must be adequately lit.
Inability to receive dirty ballast: All vessels operating at the Monobuoy
must arrive with clean ballast since there is no facility for reception of
dirty ballast. In the event that they have residue arising from tank
cleaning, this must be pumped to the slop tanks, which will be measured
and which will be loaded by the load on top system.
Loading and Discharging:
Communications during loading/discharging: All communications
relative to loading and discharging of vessels will be made via the
Monobuoy Berthing Master who will remain in contact constantly with
the Refinery Blending department via portable VHF on Channel 9. In the
event of damage to the portable VHF, contact will be continued via the
vessels equipment.
Damage during communication: In the event of damage to all
communications with the Blending Department, the loading and
discharging operations will cease immediately.
Average of loading and discharge: The installation can operate at an
average (max.) of 12,000 cu.m. per hour and at a working pressure of
12 kg./sq.cm., at the vessels manifold.
The supply of bunkers can be effected at a maximum average of
2,000 t.p.h. with a working pressure equal to 12 kg./sq.cm.
Anti-pollution precautions: Contamination of the sea by hydrocarbons
is absolutely prohibited; this prohibition includes pumping. The
non-fulfilment of this regulation can give rise to serious penalties and for
which reason all vigilance must be applied to stop leaks which would
give rise to the immediate cessation of all operations, the Master/Owner
being entirely responsible for costs or damages which might arise
therefrom. Trays must be provided to catch any possible leaks during
connection or disconnection of hoses to the manifold.
SPAIN
2288 We welcome all advice, updates and additions to this information.
Valve closure due to excessive loading: No valve will be closed which
may stop or reduce the movement of the product, whilst the shore pumps
are operating unless prior advice has been given to and the approval
obtained from the Monobuoy Berthing Master. The practice of closing
the valves at the vessels manifold must be obviated.
If a decrease in pumping rate is required the shore terminal will lower
the pumping rate to the required level if requested.
The Master will be responsible for any damage which may arise from
the sudden stoppage in flow due to faults on board the vessel. It cannot
be overemphasised for this to occur it is extremely dangerous and may
give rise to extremely extensive damage to the installation.
Sample intakes and empties: All vessels which have available inert
gas installations in service must arrive with all tanks depressurised for
the purpose of taking samples, emptying water, etc. Once this operation
has been effected, tanks can be pressurised once again. Oncedischarge
has been terminated, the tanks will be depressurised in order that they
may be inspected.

DOCUMENTS:
3 Crew Lists.
2 copies Crew Personal Effects Lists, signed by each crew member.
4 Passenger Lists or a negative.
3 sets of Cargo Manifest of goods destined for the port.
Another Manifest covering transit cargo.
2 Provisions and Stores Lists, including tobacco, cigars, cigarettes,
coffee, spirits, radios, cameras, etc., in possession of crew. In all
cases make and number of radios to be indicated.
1 Safety Wireless Certificate and Safety Equipment Certificate.
Transit Tobacco Manifest: The Spanish Customs Regulations provide
for 6 kilos of tobacco per crew member to be on board as usual
provisions. If the total quantity of tobacco (including cigarettes, cigars,
pipe and any other kind of tobacco) does not exceed said average of
6 kilos per crew member, such quantity may be declared as provisions
on the usual Provisions List, and no further documentation is necessary.
If the total quantity on board exceeds said average, the excessive
quantity must be shown on a special transit manifest. Usual manifest
forms may be employed, describing the tobacco in Spanish as Tabaco
en transito.
The essential point is that this transit manifest is visaed by the Spanish
Consulate, which must insert a full and complete visa. A simple consular
stamp is not sufficient. If there is no Spanish Consulate at the last port
of call or nearby, the tobacco manifest may be visaed by the local
Customs Authority or by another consulate, but the visa is still essential.
PILOTAGE: Compulsory for vessels over 500 g.r.t. Telegrams to be sent
to Corporacion de Practicos, San Juan de Nieva Aviles Tel/Fax: 34
(985) 566856. Vessel exceeding LOA 130 m. require 2 Pilots.
Send ETA 2 hours in advance, confirming by VHF when vessel some
10 miles off. Pilots listen continuously on Channels 16 and 12. Pilot craft
are painted black with a white P on each bow. They are equipped with
VHF and listen out on Channel 12, having also available Channels 16,
14, 9 and 6. When coming alongside a vessel they hoist the H flag.
Normally they remain within the port, going out to vessels up to 1 mile
from La Forcada.
ANCHORAGES: Outside the port vessels can use the sector between
north and W.N.W. of La Forcada and at a distance of 1 mile from it, in
15 m. to 25 m. depth and sandy bottom. There are no sheltered
anchorages. When awaiting a berth, vessels must remain at anchorage
with 1 or 2 anchors.
RESTRICTIONS: Vessels LOA 180 m. 225 m. enter and sail at any
time.
Entrance Channel: Breadth: 153 m. Length: 920 m. up to San Juan de
Nieva Basin. Depth at LW: 10 m. to 8.5 m. in the axis. Nature of bottom:
Sand, hard clay and rock. Exposure: N.W. Breadth: 160 m. Depth at

SPAIN
2290 We welcome all advice, updates and additions to this information.
MAX. SIZE: Max. LOA 225 m. or draft 10.75 m.
Keel Clearance:
LOA up to 130 m. Keel clearance 2 ft.
LOA 130 m. 150 m. Keel clearance 3 ft.
LOA over 150 m. Keel clearance 4 ft.
The admitted draft is calculated by deducting the number of feet
required under the keel from the total depth of water which varies in
accordance with tidal conditions. Tide tables are available upon request.
In addition, the draft so calculated may still vary (by 1 ft.) under special
atmospherical conditions. However, for a rough guidance, the following
average figures, from which the respective number of feet under the
keel must be deducted, may be sufficient:
Normal Equinoctial
Neap Tides Spring Tide Spring Tide
8.80 m. 9.70 m. 10.60 m.
(23 ft. 10 in.) (31 ft. 10 in.) (34 ft. 9 in.)
Tidal Information: Max. tidal range 4.6 m. LLw is referred to as port zero
and height of HHW is 5.3 m.
HEALTH: Yellow flag to be hoisted, and once Health Authority has
boarded, and the Marine Health Certificate completed, provided this is
negative, clearance is automatic.
Health documents required: Marine Health Declaration if coming from
another country, but if from another Spanish port, the Health Clearance
Document from that port suffices.
Derat, or Exemption Certificate required.
If coming from country where epidemic is in force, certificates of
vaccination for each crew member.
If sickness on board, patient will be examined immediately and
decision taken as to clearance or isolation.
VHF: Cabo Penas Radio transmits call-up lists at 1103, 1303, 1703,

BARCELONA: 41.20 N. 02.10 E. (See Plan)
DOCUMENTS:
(1) Manifest of Barcelona Cargo: 1 set covering all loading ports;
make sure that this Manifest is in perfectly good order before
ships berthing, as Customs will board the vessel immediately and
take it away as it is; thereafter any omission or excess of pages
may lead to a fine. It is important that the Master has copies as
Manifests mailed by Agents in loading ports sometimes arrive too
late or not at all.
(2) Manifest of Transit Cargo: 1 set (same recommendations as
above).
(3) 4 Crew Lists.
(4) 1 Passengers List (Nil).
(5) 2 Crew Effects Declarations.
(6) 2 Provisions Lists.
Of items (3), (4) and (6) above several copies will be required for
distribution among various authorities. Therefore it would be well for the
Master to have at least 3 copies of each ready at hand on arrival.
Tobacco or cigarettes equivalent to 6 kg. is allowed per crew member.
All tobacco in excess of the 6 kg. allowed by the Spanish authorities
should be manifested and signed by the Spanish Consul at the last port
of call before Spain. If there is no Spanish Consul at the last port before
calling at Spain, then the consulate of a country friendly to Spain or the
Port Authorities could carry out the same formality. The same procedure
must be followed when the vessel loads a cargo of tobacco for discharge
in Spanish ports, or when the tobacco cargo is loaded in transit.
SPAIN
See guidelines on how to compile and submit information to us (page vi). 2291
If any item of cargo manifested for Barcelona should be discharged
in error at any other port in the ships itinerary before arrival at Spain,
there would be a fine imposed here for shortage of goods if no advice
of such shortage is given before arrival.

berths.
PILOTAGE: Compulsory. Port Authority must be notified well in advance
about the particulars of a ships arrival (ETA, etc.) through the ships
Agent.
ANCHORAGES: Masters will be informed by Harbour Pilot about the
estimated berthing time and any other particulars that concern berthing
prospects. Should need for anchoring arise, vessels will be requested
to anchor under the control of the Harbour Pilot in the current anchorage
spots as specified below:
Spot A, true bearing 270 from the Pta. Lucero breakwater green
light, 1.5 miles away.
Spot B, true bearing 310 from the Pta. Lucero Breakwater green
light, 1.5 miles away.

light, 2.5 miles away (for small sized ships).
Spot E, true bearing 310 from the Pta. Lucero Breakwater green
light, 2.5 miles away.
Anchoring inside the harbour limits is not allowed, except with Port
Authority authorisation, for which the ships Agent must comply with
proceedings as for a berthing request.
Mooring buoys in sheltered waters, depths up to 14.0 m. are available.
Ships in general (up to a discretional size, excluding considerations
when IMDG coded cargo on board) that are requested to wait due to
berthing schedule, or tide level when bound up-river, may receive
instructions from Pilot to anchor in some of the spots described above
or at the discretion of the Pilot inside the harbour in sheltered waters.
RESTRICTIONS: Only short delays at low tide for the up-river traffic.
MAX. SIZE: Drafts available for dry cargo vessels range from 6.0 m. up
to 14.5 m. and tankers up to 32 m. The largest vessel received was

N.B.: Any other flange size or rating will require special fabricated
spool pieces to meet above flange specification. Spool pieces must be
furnished and installed by the vessel. Terminal personnel will connect
the coupler to proper ships flanges. Ships personnel will bolt on any
required spool pieces. Ships manifold must meet requirements of
loading arm envelope and must provide suitable base and clearance for
loading arms supports. Manifolds must comply with latest OCIMF
standards. Failure to present correct reducers/spools will result in
terminal making a charge for use of their equipment.
Discharging/Loading Rates:
Discharging: Maximum discharging rate accepted by Terminal:
Crude Oil Jetty No. 1: 16,000 t.p.h.
Crude Oil Jetty No. 2: 7,000 t.p.h.
Loading: Maximum loading rate provided, actually, by the Terminal:
Fuel Oil 3,000 t.p.h.
Gas Oil 1,500 t.p.h.
Kerosene 1,400 t.p.h.
Gasoline 1,400 t.p.h.

LPG Butane 190 t.p.h.
LPG Propylene 90 t.p.h.
Bitumen 240 t.p.h.
Chemicals 400 t.p.h.
Gas oil only available at Punta Ceballos Jetty.
Bunkering: Bunkering fuel facilities are available on all jetties.
The minimum quantity to be supplied is 100 tons fuel oil and 20 tons
diesel oil.
Deballasting: All ballast will be unloaded to the shore facilities. At the
moment, the cost of ballast reception ashore is 0.65/ton, minimum
charge 500. Cost of slop reception ashore is 8.50/ton. Shore facilities
unable to receive slops from heated cargo, chemical additives, low pour
point and lube oils.
The Master will report to the Terminal the quantity of ballast on arrival
and when due to bad weather, the ballast quantity is over the normal.
Only segregated ballast contained in SBT will be allowed to be
discharged into the harbour after approval by the Port Authorities.
Note: Overboard discharge valves and sea suction valves continue to
be a source of oil pollution. Make sure these are tested and proven to
be in good working order, closed tight and sealed.
Gangway: Owner warrants that the vessel is equipped with a gangway
in a safe and good operating condition.
Jetties No. 1 and 2 are provided with a shore gangway. The cost to
the vessels account is minimal, 200 less than 50,000 d.w.t. and 500
more than 50,000 d.w.t.
Crude Oil Washing Tanks: When it is required to carry out crude oil
washing of tanks during cargo discharge, Master must seek approval of
the Port Authority and the Terminal at least 24 hours in advance.
During crude oil washing, it is recommended that 1 tug remains on
stand-by during the operation.
Jetty Emergency Shutdown Systems and Surge Pressures: All jetties
(fuel oil/clean products/LPG) are equipped with Emergency Shutdown
(ESD) System to stop loading operations.
The system is activated by pushing the electrical stop button at any
one of several stations on the jetty and in the Terminal Control Room.
On activating the loading ESD system, all jetties stop loading; the
cargo pumps are all shutdown; the loading armvalves close on all jetties.
The valves and other equipment, have been designed and set to close
in a minimum time for safety and still avoid damage by surge pressures.
Recognising the tremendous damage surge pressures can cause,
careful check of the ships emergency shutdown system will be made.
If suitable record is not available on valve closure times, the Master will
be asked to operate the system to enable timing of the valves.
The Terminal will not load at a rate in excess of that shown as being
safe. Excess loading times caused by restricted loading rates due to the
ships ESD system will cause additional laytime to be allowed.
All cargo loading lines for fuel oil/clean products have a pressure
switch installed that activates the ESD system with the same effect as
mentioned above when the pressure on line exceeds 10 kg./sq.m. In
case of activating ESD, Master to deliver to the terminal a full report of
the incident.
Fenders: On the jetties the fenders and fendering structures aredesigned
to absorb normal working stress levels, and each has a generous
energy-absorbing capacity.
The energy imparted by vessels approaching the jetties is:

PILOTAGE: Compulsory. Agents inform Pilot of vessels requirements.
The Pilot boards by tug or small fishing boat, about 1.5 miles off the jetty.
The Pilot Station is situated at Garrucha, about 15 miles north of
Carboneras.
ANCHORAGES: There is a small anchorage south of an island called
Isla Carboneras locally. The approx. position of the island is
Lat. 36 59.6' N., Long. 01 53.9' W. About 1 mile south of the island

is 6 kilos; any amount over has to be manifested as tobacco in transit,
and this manifest must be visaed by a Spanish Consul in the last
loading/discharging port. If there is no Spanish Consul in the port of call
before Cartagena, the Master is requested to send a cable to: Direccion
General de Aduanas, Madrid, quoting as follows: m.v. . . . coming from
. . . order to proceed to Cartagena tobacco manifest unlegalised
Master.
This cable is to be inserted in the radio log-book, and copy of same
to be delivered to local Customs Authorities when boarding the vessel.
APPROACHES: Escombreras Bank with datum depth of 8.9 m. situated
west of Escombreras Island, extends from 200 m. to 400 m. west of the
western tip of the island. This bank is marked by a West Cardinal Buoy,
10 m. high, with a quick-flashing white light (9 Fl. 10 sec.) on the western
end of the bank.
There is a zone used for submarine exercises which is marked on the
charts. Occasionally, naval divers carry out exercises in the vicinity of
the port entrance. These are accompanied by naval vessels showing
appropriate signals.
Ships bound for Escombreras, to enter the port, should steer for a
point situated at the intersection of the N.S. line of the red light at the
extremity of Navidad Pier, and the E.W. line through the green light at
the extremity of the Bastarreche Pier, at which point, approximately, the
Pilot boards the vessel. For tankers of more than 100,000 d.w.t., the
pilot boards the vessel approximately 2 miles westward of Escombreras
Island.
The least recorded depth in the entrance to the port is 25 m. The
approaches to the Port of Escombreras do not present any difficulties.

DEVELOPMENTS: There is an extensive programme to increase
berthing-places by building new piers close to the breakwaters.
SHIPMASTERS REPORT: March 1981 (Updated 2000).
Approaches: Approach to the port provides no great problem coming
from either the east or west. Plenty of positions are available from the
land as you near the port. The bay in which the port is situated is deep
water up to the breakwater. So for anchoring, vessel has to proceed
well into the bay. Pilots will advise the number of vessels lying at anchor
and a suitable anchorage position.
The bay is exposed to winds from the S.E. through to the S.W. As
the weather was good on both occasions that the vessel has visited, no
comment can be made as to whether the anchorage would be tenable
in strong winds, from these quadrants.
Pilots: Readily available day or night. Pilots board from a small boat,
which is rather slow. The same boat acts as line boat when the vessel
is berthing. Pilots work Channel 12, and can be contacted about 1 hour
out from the port.
Berthing/Berth: Vessel can berth either side of the LPG Pier. Although
on the eastern side of the berth the max. draft allowed aft is 31 ft. 6 in.
and forward 28 ft. On the western side of the pier there is 36 ft. of water.
Vessels berth with the assistance of 3 tugs (1 forward and 2 aft). Ships
lines are used to the tugs. Usual tie up forward is 4-2-2 and aft 4 lines
go to buoys, 2 springs from the stern, and 2 breast lines from the main
deck winch.
Pilots advise that the berth is exposed to S.W. winds and vigilance is
required in tending moorings. The berth is adequately fenderedwithlarge
tyres.
Fresh water is available at short notice, and is piped to the quay. The
water man can be found at the gate. Water can be supplied any day
except on a Sunday. Bunkers are also available from the quay.
Cargo: Cargo is discharged through a 12 in. 150 ASA T connection
from which 26 in. lines are lead off. Shore supply this connection, and
connect the pipe.
Discharge back pressure is 8 bars which means running 2 pumps.
Discharge rate is between 70 210 tonnes per hour. The discharge rate
varies without any notice being given to the vessel by the terminal as
they direct the cargo into shore tanks or coastal vessels.
Customs and the shippers agreements had to be granted.
The terminal upon arrival, also asks the ship to sign a letter saying
they require the cargo to be pumped with a back pressure of
15 kg./sq.cm. and for the cargo to be heated. A booster pump is required
for this port and also a cargo heater (this may soon be supplied). At
present the vessel has the pipe work for the heater. Heater and booster
pump will be sited on the quay, and ships power and pumps will be
used to run both appliances.
With the high back pressure it is difficult to strip the tanks, so if time
allows strip tanks into one tank with the manifold valve closed, and then
finally discharge from this tank. In the end this will save time.
Shore will request hot gas to clear the cargo lines.
Chandler: Can supply most items but needs a few days to organise
matters. Stores can be supplied by boat. The boat is rather like a small
pleasure craft but quite adequate.
Shotblast can be supplied at this port. The shot was also delivered
by barge.
Repairs: Engine repairs can be carried out in this port by the local
shipyard repair firm.

DEVELOPMENTS: Enlargement of the port to the north, with newpublic
wharves, including more area for logistics development, a new Levante
breakwater which will be enlarged to 2,668 m. and the Levante dock
enlargement to 730 m. for public berths, with max. draft 13 m. Total area
reclaimed is 50 hectares.
SHIPMASTERS REPORT: December 1980.
Approach: Straightforward (Chart B.A. 1701). A plan of the port is
included on B.A. 1458. During final approach care must be taken not to
pass between the buoys around the sea berth for oil tankers.
Anchorage: Can be obtained 1 mile eastwards of Dique de Levante in
15 m.
Pilotage: Call on VHF Channel 16 and Pilot boards approximately half
a mile eastwards of Dique de Levante. Strong S.W.ly set experienced
whilst awaiting Pilot. Pilot boards from small launch which doubles as a
mooring boat.
One tug is taken outside the breakwater using 2 ships lines through
the centre lead forward. A second tug makes fast at port main deck aft
(tugs line) when vessel is in inner harbour (Darsena Comercial).
Draft limitation of 22 ft.
Berthing: Possible day or night. Starboard side to Muelle de Serrano
Lloberes. The berth doubles as a bulk facility and care must be taken
to avoid fouling the loading elevator with the bow flare. The elevator is
on rails 1.0 m. inside the face. The berth is fendered with tyres onwooden
axles quite common in Spain and quite effective.
There are ample bollards. As soon as first lines are ashore, theforward
tug takes up position at the break of forecastle using tugs line to assist
in pushing vessel alongside. Lining up takes some little time using
mooring winches.
SPAIN
See guidelines on how to compile and submit information to us (page vi). 2303
Connection: Six shore anacondas link a hydrant-like pipe, emergingfrom
a manhole on the quay, with the vessels 10 in. manifold. Hoses are 6 in.
(300 ASA) and shore personnel connect/disconnect. Vessel suppliesand
fits reducers. Starboard derrick used to support a metal cradle carrying
hoses over ships rail.
Discharge: Upon completion of cargo survey, discharge commences
slowly whilst hoses are purged by a small hose from the hydrant to the
sea. No heater or booster pump are required at this port. Back pressure
approximately 3 kg./sq.cm. and average rate of 125 t.p.h. overall with
usual hourly rates of 150/160 tonnes/p.h.
Shore Tanks: Are atmospheric and situated some 200 m. N.E. of berth.
There are 2 tanks (each 2,000 2,500 tonnes capacity). There would
appear to be no reliquefaction plant and gas is flared during filling from
a flare situated atop each tank. It is reported that this leads to
discrepancies in cargo figures but this was not the case for this call.
Throughput is estimated at 15,000 tonnes per month with ammonia
arriving from Russia, Libya and Mexico.
Customs: Attended in the morning. Their visit was brief as transit papers
(RUTA) has been prepared prior to the vessels departure from
Cartagena. Remember that bond locker must remain sealed when
coasting. Customs checked bond seal.
General: Fresh water is available but none taken this call. Lub oils
available via normal Madrid permit. The Pilot can be reached on
Tel: 222457 if required during the vessels stay.
Only 2 tugs available and as preference is given to tankers berthing
at sea berths, delays can occur in docking/undocking. We were delayed
for four hours on leaving. Tugs are necessary for this port.
Local town (El Grao) is very quiet with numerous small restaurants
all within a few minutes walk of the berth. A three star hotel opposite
the yacht club is good for telephone calls to U.K. (cost around
265 pesetas for first three minutes).
Castellon proper lies 4 km. inland. Bus fare 0.5.

TUGS: The use of 2 tugs is compulsory when berthing and unberthing
at the Sea Berth and Breasting Island (See Shipmasters Report).
Ships ropes must be used to the tugs.
Tugs are equipped with safety devices against fire and oil spillage.
BERTHING: Sea Berth: The installation consists of a typical 5 buoy
configuration. The buoys are Lamgar type, painted yellow and every one
has 5 chain shackles. They also have 2 quick-release hooks and yellow
flashing lights.
The ship is moored to them by stern in conjunction with the ships
own anchors in open mooring mode, with about 280 m. (900 ft.) of
chain on each anchor.
The depth of water at the Berth is about 25 m. (82 ft.).
Vessels berth heading 075/080 true.
At the Sea Berth approaches (0.5 miles Eastward), there is a spherical
Seabuoy with red and white vertical strips, radar reflector and white
flashing light every 10 seconds, with 3 miles range and locatedinposition
Lat. 39 56' 07" N., Long. 00 03' 49" E.
There is a navigational aid consisting of 2 spar buoys, painted white
above black, which is used as leading line to drop anchors when
proceeding to Sea Berth.
North Buoy: Occulting every 3 seconds, range 3 miles.
Lat. 39 56' 51" N., Long. 00 03' 08" E.
South Buoy: Iso every 2 seconds, range 3 miles. Lat. 39 56' 41" N.,
Long. 00 03' 08" E.
The lead buoys bearing is 349, and there is 300 m. (985 ft.) distance
between them.
The crude oil is discharged through a 42 in. submarine pipeline. The
length of the pipeline to the coast is about 4,000 m. (13,150 ft.), plus an
average of 300 m. (900 ft.) to the crude oil tanks.
At the Sea Berth, the crude oil submarine pipeline ends in a manifold
with 2 connections to flexible hoses. The length of each hose is about
100 m. (329 ft.) and consists of 11 sections on 16 in. hose, including a
marine breakaway coupling.
The flange of the rail hose to be connected to ships manifold is 16 in.,
ASA 150.
There is also a 10 in. submarine pipeline for bunkering. This pipeline
is connected to the Breasting Island which is about 2,250 m. (7,400 ft.)
from the Sea Berth.
The Sea Berth end of this bunkering line is connected to a string
consisting of 11 sections of 10 in. hose with a total length of about 85 m.
(280 ft.).
The flange of the rail hose to be connected to ships manifold is 10 in.,
ASA 150.
All hoses lay on the sea bed when not in use.
Cargo hoses will always be connected to the port side manifold. The
ships hoses/derrick should have a minimum SWL of 10 tonnes and be
ready to use.
Vessels may be requested to displace the contents of the crude oil
line with sea water by pumping at approximately 4,000 cu.m./hr.
The maximum pressure at the ships manifold should not exceed
10.5 kg./sq.cm. (150 psi).
Cargo handling operations will not commence until the vessel is
adequately moored. Discharge and COW plans will be shown in the
Cargo Control Room and discussed with Loading Master prior start of
operations.
Mooring: Vessels calling at the Sea Berth should be equipped with a
minimum of 10 12 synthetic stern mooring ropes in good condition,
4 on the main deck in front of the bridge, length not less than 250 m.
and 6 8 on the poop deck, each not less than 220 fathoms in length.
These ropes should be 9 in. or 10 in. in circumference. Four of these
lines should be ready on the main deck, forward of the deckhouse.
Mooring wires with nylon tails instead of the ropes are acceptable.
Two lines are required to be run out to all of the buoys, but Buoys
No. 1 and No. 5 (Port and starboard beams) shall take a third line
provided by Terminal as a Preventer which are permanently attached
to the buoy and are brought to the ship by a launch.
A good ships towing line is to be ready at the forecastle.
All anchors, chains and windlasses are required to be in good working
order. All vessels should be equipped with at least 13 shackles of usable
chain on each anchor. When the ship is moored, she has approximately
275 m. (900 ft.) chain length from each anchor in the water.
It is very important to have both accommodation ladders in good
condition, attached in the manifold area, facing aft, rigged and ready for
use (the leeward side ladder only will be used).
Breasting Island: The Breasting Island consists of a central platform
70 m. (230 ft.) long 15 m. (49 ft.) wide. There are 2 dolphins located
at approximately 128 m. (420 ft.) from platform centre and 2 middle
supports between platform and dolphins.
The platform is a unique reinforced concrete stage with an elevation
of 6.0 m. (20 ft.).
The 2 dolphins are situated on opposite extreme points of platform
main axis.
The Westerly dolphin is built for 120 tons safe load in an all-round
direction, and is equipped with 2 release hooks of 60 tons safe loadeach,
and a small berth for boats with access ladder.
The Easterly dolphin is built for 120 tons safe load on a longitudinal
direction and can absorb 27,000 tons from a ships impact.
The platform is linked to both dolphins by a metal walkway.
Both sides of the Breasting Island central platform and the Eastern
dolphin are provided with a resilient Raykin fendering system.
No fendering system is installed on the Western dolphin.
Two swamped breasting wire ropes are anchored about 200 m.
(600 ft.) off both sides of the Breasting Island (North and South).
Quick-release hooks are provided on the platform corners and on both
mooring dolphins. Two bollards are located at middle of platform sides.
Vessels berth heading East.
Moorings 4/5 head/stern lines and 2/3 fore and aft springs.
For loading operations, metal arms of the self-supported
counter-weighted type are used.
The number and size of the arms on either side of Breasting Island
are as follows:
110 in. arm: Black products, bunker and ballast.
1 8 in. arm: Black products, bunker and ballast.
2 8 in. arms: White products.
1 8 in. arm: Ammonia.
Connecting flanges on each armare 150 ASA(except Ammoniawhich
is 300 ASA), and they are equipped with Camlock type
quick-connecting devices.
Maximum height of manifold above sea level at anytime is 12.0 m.
The following products can be loaded/unloaded at the Breasting Island:
Black: Fuel Oil
Crude Oil
White: Leaded gasoline (97)
Unleaded gasoline (98)
Unlead gasoline (95)
Diesel oil
Kerosene
Ciclohexane
Ammonia
Cargo handling operations will not commence until the vessel is
adequately berthed.
All operations (Loading, discharging, ballast, deballasting, COW)
should be discussed with the Loading Master prior to start of operations.
The Breasting Island is equipped with a firefighting systemanddevices
against oil spillage.
The fire system is composed of 6 monitors mounted on raised
platforms and fire hydrants at platform level.
The fire pump capacity is 340 cu.m./hr. (1,500 g.p.m.) at
10.5 kg./sq.cm. (150 psi.).
Five fire hoses of 150 ft. (45.72 m.) in length are positioned close to
the hydrants and also stored on the fire hose racks, located on both
sides of the Breasting Island main platform.
Do not drop anchor in Breasting Island approaches in the way of
submarine pipelines.
MEDICAL: Arranged by ships Agent.
CARGO OPERATIONS: Loading Arms and Hoses: Connecting and/or
disconnecting of hoses and/or loading arms will be carried out by
Refinery contracted personnel and the assistance of at least 3 crew
members.
All the operations will be performed under the direction and
responsibility of a vessels qualified Deck Officer.
All the vessels equipment, i.e. winches, topping-off booms, etc., must
be handled by the vessels crew.
The Refinery will advise the Chief Officer on procedure for connecting
the hoses and/or loading arms.
In case of having to leave the Breasting Island or Sea Berth due to
a change of the weather or any other emergency, the vessels crewmust
carry out all the disconnecting of cargo hoses or loading arms.
After the hoses or loading arms have been connected to the vessels
manifold, the vessels crewmust carry out any shifting of hoses or loading
arms required, either for loading/discharging or bunkering operations.
Loading Rates: It is expected that all vessels will be able to receive
cargo as fast as it can be delivered.
Black grades are pumped by either one or two centrifugal pumps of
900 cu.m.p.h. capacity each. Light grades are pumped by either one or
two centrifugal pumps of 680 cu.m./hr. capacity each.
BALLAST: The ballast reception in the Refinery is about 10,000 cu.m.
(63,000 bbls.). All ballast that is not considered as segregated(theballast
taken on board through independent pipes and pumps other than cargo
system and into the tanks only used for ballast SBT) will be discharged
to shore tanks, without any exception, and the Company reserves the
right to charge accordingly.
Vessels arriving in ballast condition are to have sufficient ballast
onboard and a good trimming for a safe manoeuvring.
SPAIN
See guidelines on how to compile and submit information to us (page vi). 2305
All vessels operating at the Sea Berth will retain on board, at all times,
a minimum of 33% of d.w.t. (ballast and/or cargo), keeping the propeller
submerged and in a good draft/trim for manoeuvring at any time.
In cases where the above circumstances cannot be maintained, it will
be discussed with the Pilot/Loading Master on arrival, in order to take
reasonable precautions.
Residues (Slops): The Refinery is certified as an AuthorisedMARPOL
Reception Installation, only to receive:
(A) Crude oil ballast.
(B) Petroleum products ballast.
The Company reserves the right to charge for these services.
As a general rule, the Refinery will not accept any kind or quantity of
residues that the vessel could carry. Usually when a ship is chartered,
Load-on-top (L.O.T.) is not recommended for her slops, unless due to
her close fitting capacity, she would have necessity to do it, and would
require BPs authorisation. In such a case, it will be discharged at the
beginning of unloading operations.
Residues either from a crude oil tanker or a product carrier are not
wanted. The Terminal will not accept products such as coloured and
oxygenated chemical compounds, bilges, burned oils, compounds with
density greater than 1,000 and Pour Point less than 20 (products). They
shall remain on board at all times and be segregated from the cargo.
Crude Oil Washing (C.O.W.): To carry out Crude Oil Washing at the
Terminal, the vessel must obtain authorisation from the Administration
through the Agent, at least 48 hours before arrival. When asking for
authorisation, answers to the questionnaire BPCS300 message
received from your Agent must be included.
On arrival at the Terminal, vessel must fill in a questionnaire named
COW Check List which must be replied to on arrival at discharge
port or before, during, or after crude oil washing. All these
questions are the same as in Section 10 of every vessels COW Manual
(See Appendix VI Not reproduced).
The Terminal requires full COW of the cargo tanks to be discharged
at Castellon, except when C/P agrees otherwise. Nevertheless in any
case, vessel to carry out COW as required by MARPOL 73/78.
COW operations will depend on the weather forecast, and the
Pilot/Loading Master will decide.
Vessels moored at the Terminal are not allowed to carry out tank
washing operations, other than COW.
All washing and cleaning operations for preparing cargo tanks will be
made before berthing and always following MARPOL 73/78
requirements.
Inert Gas: Regarding inert gas, any vessel with an Inert Gas System
(IGS) must have it in full working order and to be used for loading and
discharging operations.
Laytime will not count until cargo tanks are inerted, at which time
berthing operations will commence. Before loading/unloadingoperations
start, the quality of inert gas contained in the tanks will be checked by
the Pilot/Loading Master. A Deck Officer will accompany him to those
tanks selected. The oxygen content is to be below 8% in volume.
The cargo tank atmosphere will be maintained at such level (less than
8% in volume). If inert gas system fails to maintain both the oxygen level
and positive pressure in the cargo tanks, the operations will be stopped
and will not be resumed until the plant is operative.
Every measurement, ullaging, sampling or temperatures will takeplace
through assigned points in order to do C.L.S. (Closed Loading System)
for all operations.
Minimum Tank Cleaning Requirements: A cargo tank washing guide is
given in the following table, in order to prepare the tanks for the next
product to be loaded.
Nevertheless, this tables indications will not relieve the Master from
his own responsibility in case any additional washing or cleaning is
needed for the best protection of the product to be loaded.

4 Flush cargo tanks bottom, gas-free and pick-up sediments.
Valves, pumps and lines will be properly drained.
5 Machine wash with cold water for 4 hours (2 hours in coated
cargo tanks). If you are going to load Light Products, apply
Code 5 and after Code 4.
FRESH WATER: Fresh water is available by barge, with a capacity of
280 cu.m. Contact ships Agent.
FUEL: Available via pipeline. Any vessel wishing to take bunkers (IFO
or MDO) at the Sea Berth or Breasting Island should make advance
arrangements with the Trading Department of BP Oil Refineria de
Castellons head office in Madrid.
Time used for bunkering will not count as laytime when the operation
does not take place during loading/discharging.
REPAIRS: Only minor repair facilities are available. Services to radio,
gyro and radar are available.
As much advance notice as possible must be given to ships Agent.
GANGWAY/DECK WATCHMEN: Gangway: Vessels must provide, rig
and tend a safe gangway for access to and from the vessel.
REPATRIATION: Crew members can be paid off or leave the vessel at
Castellon de la Plana provided all Spanish regulations are satisfied.
All arrangements should be made through the ships Agent.
SHORE LEAVE: Master to arrange launch service through ships Agent.
WASTE OIL DISPOSAL: See Section (A).
WEATHER: Wind: Gales occur mainly from October to March, blowing
hard between N.E. to East, generating rough seas.
December to January, winds are predominantly from the land, which
are occasionally strong from the N.W., veering round to Northerly,
reaching up to Force 5 7. If the wind is due to a local condition, it blows
from N.W. during daylight and backing to Westerly by night.
Currents: Currents are generally of low intensity and variable direction,
depending on the period of the year.
In Winter time with N.E. Easterly gales, there are currents of
moderate intensity from the East.
In Summer time due to local wind conditions, currents are mainly
Southerly and strong, but sometimes from other directions, and it cannot
be easily predicted. Berthing operation can be seriously affected.
SAFETY: The BP Representative (Pilot/Mooring Master) will remain
onboard while vessel is moored at Sea Berth or alongside the Breasting
Island and will provide vessel with any assistance needed.
At the Sea Berth, throughout the vessels stay, 2 watchmen will remain
onboard in order to watch and attend to any emergency.
At the Breasting Island, a platform operator will act as a permanent
contact with crew members watching the manifold.
Ship/shore communications will be carried out either by telephone,
VHF Channel 13 and/or portable radio-telephone sets (Walkie Talkies).
If a total breakdown in communications occurs, discharging/loading
will be stopped until normal communications are resumed.
Once moored at the Sea Berth or alongside Breasting Island, a
Ship/Shore Safety Check List will be filled in by the Pilot and
Master/Chief Officer and be continuously monitored every 6/8 hours,
while operations are in progress.
Back Pressure: The maximum permitted back pressure of
10.5 kg./sq.cm. (150 psi.) on Refinery hoses or loading arms should not
be exceeded.
Closed Load System: Cargo operations will be carried out by Closed
Load System, by putting pressure/vacuum valves in automatic position,
working at designed pressure. Only when tank inner pressure has
reached the maximum, can they be opened to reduce pressure levels
down to limit (to comply with RD 145/89 Chap. III 10 Para. 101.1.3.2).
Hydrogen Sulphide: The Master of any vessel carrying crude with
Hydrogen Sulphide (H
2
S) presence is obliged to inform the Terminal
beforehand of its characteristics.
A very special precaution will be observed when handling crude oil
with a H
2
S presence with levels higher than 10 p.p.m., which is the TLV
(Threshold Limit Value). Before starting any operation withthesevessels,
the Pilot/Loading Master will take several measurements at potential risk
points. Do not take out samples from ships tanks with this type of crude
oil.

2308 We welcome all advice, updates and additions to this information.
SHIPMASTERS REPORT: July 1997 (Updated 2002).
Charts: B.A. Charts No. 1458 and 1701.
Approach: Mountains as a backdrop and fairly rugged coastline provide
easy navigation features.
Castellon Harbour Breakwater has recently been extended 0.35 miles
186 with a Fl. G light at its extremity.
Onshore immediately to West of Sea Island is a power station with
2 conspicuous chimneys.
Currents are variable, although a Southerly set into the bay is normal
in Summer.
Anchorage: We anchored 2.25 miles due East of Castellon Breakwater
(just on B.A. Chart No. 1458). Officially the anchorage is 3 miles East
of the breakwater, but if Pilot is contacted before anchoring, no trouble
to anchor closer in. There is no shelter. Holding ground is reported to
be good.
Pilots: Pilots for Castellon Harbour and the Oil Terminal buoys/SeaIsland
are different (as per ALRS).
VHF Channel 13 is used for the Oil Terminal berths.
Oil Terminal berths operate 24 hours.
For Sea Island (Breasting Platform), Pilot boards from workboat about
0.5 miles N.E. of the platform.
For buoy berth, Pilot boards at Sea Buoy.
If vessel at Sea Island, Pilot stays on platform in cabin at East end
of structure.
If vessel at buoy berth, Pilot stays onboard vessel.
Tugs: 22,000 h.p. tugs remain in Castellon at all times. Ships lines
used. Centre leads are used fore and aft for berthing/unberthing.
Berth: Sea Island (or Breasting Platform as it is known) is positioned in
Lat. 39 56.4' N., Long. 0 00.1' E. (1.1 miles offshore).
It was built about 30 years ago to serve the adjacent refinery.
It is a somewhat flimsy structure with one berth on North side and
one berth on South side.
The berth is capable of taking vessels up to 37,000 d.w.t., 11.3 m.
draft and 220 m. length.
The platform (70 m. length 15 m. width) has mooring dolphins at
each end (95 m. from the platform end). Between the mooring dolphins
and platform is an additional mooring post, serving both berths. The
platform face is covered by wooden lattice fenders braced onto the
platform with rubber shock absorbers. The wooden faces are protected
with tractor tyres.
The platform is undergoing a refurbishment programme.
Moorings: Generally 4 and 2 each end, depending on weather. For
smaller vessels, there is an offshore wire bow/stern which is anchored
to seabed. This is secured and holds vessel off berth in bad weather.
Moorings are run by a service boat. All moorings are to quick-release
hooks. It is a fairly quick tie-up in good weather.
Vessels berth heading East.
Weather: The berth is very exposed. During Winter mainly Northerly
winds and during Summer mainly Southerly winds. Gales are frequent.
Delays due to poor weather are frequent.
Products:
Black products and dirty ballast 210 in./150 arms.
Refined(Gasoline/anti-knock compounds) 2 8 in./150 arms.
Ammonia 1 8 in./300 arm.
All arms have Camlock couplings.
Ammonia can only be handled at 7C, preferably at 7 Bar BP
(maximim 11 Bar).
Terminal prefer booster pump not to be used.
Normal discharge rate for NH3 is 200 tonnes/hr., below175 tonnes/hr.
Letter of Protest is given to vessel. Terminal connect/disconnect.
Arm and line cleared by hot gas from vessel on completion, takes
about 45 minutes.
Ammonia arm on North side was under repair (in July 1997) and on
South side is in poor condition.
Terminal operator in cabin in centre of platformwhichoverlooksvessel.
All platform personnel pleasant and cooperative.
If possible, VHF Channel 13 should be monitored at all times.
SGS surveyor comes from ashore when required.
General: Midship accommodation ladder can be lowered to connect with
shore gangway platform which sits astride fender.
Fresh water is obtainable by barge at Ptas 800/tonne in good weather.
Stores and heavy spares are very difficult to supply. Agent advises
against this as hire of tug has to be coordinated with stevedore gang
and weather (expensive operation).
Launch available for shore leave by arrangement with Agent and
Terminal.
Charges: Normal 0700 hrs. 1900 hrs. weekdays 8,000 ptas.
Holidays/weekends 12,000 ptas.
Night 1900 hrs. 0700 hrs. 16,000 ptas.
Normally last launch leaves shore at 2330 hrs.
Launch uses small jetty at foot of Western mooring dolphin.
Airport: Nearest is Valencia, about 35 miles to South, with flights to
Madrid and numerous European destinations.
Authorities/Agent: Do not board in poor weather or at night.
Customs boarded about 12 hours after berthing. The bondwas sealed.

SHIPMASTERS REPORT: (Updated 2000).
DOCUMENTS: Usual forms required:
4 Crew Lists
1 Crew Declaration
1 Ships Stores Declaration
Ships Register
Cigarettes and spirits sealed.
APPROACHES: Coming in from the East the port is easy to find, first
sighting is of a small Spanish town at the edge of the sea. On the radar
the harbour breakwater begins to show up at 12 miles, and is clearly
distinguished at 6 miles.
PILOTAGE: The Pilot boards from a small open boat about 2 cables
from the end of the breakwater, the boat is painted white and for a short
spell shows a blue flag with a white P on it to convey that he is the
Pilot and not a local fisherman.
There are 2 Pilots available. The service of a Pilot is obligatory both
on entry and leaving for vessels of more than 50 g.r.t.
ANCHORAGES: On our arrival 1 vessel was anchored in a position off
the centre of the town, 2 cables from the end of the breakwater on a
line drawn continuing from the breakwater, this appears to be the
anchorage mentioned in the Admiralty Pilot Book. We passed close
inshore of her and obtained soundings of 14 m. 16 m. when passing
her position, whilst we were alongside another vessel arrived and
anchored 1.5 cables to seaward from the breakwater.
RADIO: ETA to Pilots 24 hours prior to arrival.
VHF: Call Pilots on Channel 16, 1 hour prior to arrival.
TUGS: Two tugs of 2,500 h.p. to assist manoeuvring of vessels on entry
and departure, the tugs assistance being obligatory for vessels of more
than 110 m. LOA or 3,500 g.r.t.
BERTHING: The vessel entered the harbour from the South, when the
bow was almost level with the end of the inner berth the starboardanchor
was dropped to 1 shackle and the vessel swung to starboard on the
anchor, a headline was sent away and when the vessel was three
quarters swung the anchor picked up. The face of the quay was protected
with large roller rubber tyre fenders.
HARBOUR: The maximum permitted draft at the commercial quay is
8.5 m. The commercial quay will be extended to 220 m. length.
The harbour is man-made, the outer wall is made of high stone blocks
in an L shape, the foot of the L attached to the land and the outer
part running in line with the shore. It is entered from the South with a
mole on the port hand enclosing a small fishing harbour. Minimumdepth
according to the Pilot is 6.3 m. In the N.W. corner on the outer breakwater
there is a large concrete apron extending for a length of approximately
100 m. where we loaded, then from the seaward end to the end of
breakwater there is an open berth with a large cantilevered loadingchute
jutting out over the harbour which is fed from conveyors on the seaward
side of the breakwater.
CARGO OPERATIONS: The main export of the port is gypsum stone
in bulk, we loaded from quay with 4 conveyor belts being fed by dumper
trucks into bins on the end of the conveyor belts from the cargo stacked
on the quay. Loading rate with the 4 conveyors was up to 1,000
tonnes/p.h. The labour was helpful in positioning the conveyors to our
requirements, and they have one man who keeps a careful eye on the
draft.
SUPPLIES: There is a ship chandler in Garrucha. Fresh water is supplied
by road tanker and pumped aboard, the tankers holding approximately
6 tonnes and 10 tonnes.
SHIPMASTERS REPORT: February 2000.
VESSEL: 41,000 d.w.t. bulk carrier.
CARGO: Gypsum.
LOCATION: The port is located in position Lat. 37 10' N.,
Long. 1 49' W.
General Description: This small port in the Mediterranean is setting
records exporting gypsum and marble, considering the size of the port.
Number of ships calling at this one berth port is over 300 per year.
SPAIN
See guidelines on how to compile and submit information to us (page vi). 2313
APPROACHES: Approach to the port is made from the East of the
breakwater. Two tugs are made fast with ships lines approximately
2 cables from the breakwater.
Vessel was swung around S.S.W. of the breakwater and approached
the berth making sternway.
ANCHORAGES: Safe anchorage with good holding ground to the N.E.
of the port.
MAX. SIZE: Maximum draft in port/channel/berth is 28 ft.
Berth Restrictions: Max. LOA 210 m., beam 30.0 m. 32.0 m., airdraft
12.0 m.
CARGO HANDLING FACILITIES: Holds should be clean and well
swept. No surveyor arrived for hold inspection.
Working hours Monday to Friday are 0800 hrs. 1700 hrs., unless
vessel completing loading. Practically working everyday as port always
has vessels sailing on completion of loading for 28 ft. draft.
This vessel had ballast in Hold No. 3, peak tanks and topside tanks
in order to deballast within short period and lift about 28,000 tonnes of
gypsum for max. permissible draft of 28 ft.
Cargo is stowed in the open as this port rarely gets rain.
FRESH WATER: Fresh water supplied by road tanker. Costs
approximately U.S.$ 4.00/ton.
DEVELOPMENTS: New breakwaters are under construction to save the
beach area from the Easterly swell. The port is quite exposed to Easterly
winds and swell, except for the berth and yacht harbour which are
protected by breakwater and the wall alongside.
