Deepest first. The draught is the largest any of the terminal's berths states; a dash means the source gives none.

Approach

Badas inlet is marked by a light (white structure, 7m in height), on the NW entrance point, and by a light (tower) standing on the SE shore. From N of Tanjung Batukuping (8°28'S 117°23'E) the track leads SW towards the inlet, passing through the entrance channel which has a width of 150m between reefs fringing the coast on each side; beacons (lateral) mark the reefs on each side.

A light (white beacon) stands on the bank (8°28'S 117°22'E), 2 1/2 cables within the inlet.

Port limits

LOA limited to 110m only due to restricted swinging room.

Daylight entry is recommended as Teluk Sumbawa is exposed to the NW monsoon.

Anchorages

Anchorage is usually obtained in a depth of 29m, mud, off the shore of the bay, but the bottom is steep and vessels lie close in.

The holding ground in deeper water in the middle of the bay is good but the anchorages cannot be considered safe in the NW monsoon.

ISPS compliance: The US Coast Guard has determined (12/2012) that the Republic of Indonesia is now maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures in their ports. The Republic of Indonesia is removed from the list of the Countries Affected in paragraph B of the Port Security Advisory. Therefore, actions required in paragraphs C and D of this Port Security Advisory are no longer required for vessels that arrive in the United States after visiting ports in the Republic of Indonesia.

In a further effort to combat piracy, the Indonesian Government are allocating Piracy Anchor Safe Zones within some of their ports. These will be patrolled by the Indonesian Marine Police. Individual Port Authorities should be contacted about the latest information concerning these.
