Approach

The port is approached from either E or W using nominated channels, and entered through Selat Kijang using leading lights and buoyed channel to the berths.

Approach from West: From a position in the E channel of Selat Riau, in the vicinity of No 1 Lightbuoy (00°46'N 104°28'E) the track to the pilot station initially leads NE then generally E through a swept buoyed channel, passing:

NW of Pulau Belading (00°48'N 104°29'E), a wooded islet, with a prominent white sandy beach near its N extremity, surrounded by a reef, then

N of Pulau Dendang and Pulau Antu, two wooded islets, lying 1 and 2.5nm, respectively, E of Pulau Belading, then NNE of Pulau Kekip (00°48'N 104°33'E) and Pulau Bunut, 0.5nm ESE, then to the pilot and entrance leading lights.

Approach from East: The entrance to the swept channel lies 5nm NNE of Pulau Mapor (01°00'N 104°49'E). The track initially leads S in the fairway passing between the fringing reefs of Pulau Mapor and Pulau Merapas, 3.5nm ESE, then SSW until the bearing 270° of Temborah, situated on Pulau Kelong (00°50'N 104°39'E), is reached, then on this bearing, passing N of Pulau Suka (00°49'N 104°46'E), an islet on a reef, until the E edge of Pulau Cepedak bears 330°. A small area close N of Pulau Suka has been swept to a depth of 10.5m. Then SW, passing NW of a shoal, lying 2.5nm ESE of Pulau Temborah Laut (00°49'N 104°40'E), then to the pilot boarding station.

From the E pilot station the track passes N of a reef, from which a light (wooden framework structure, 6m high) is exhibited, lying 0.35nm NW of Pulau Kambat (00°48'N 104°40'E), then between Pulau Rusa Besar (00°47.5'N 104°38.5'E) together with Pulau Rusa Kecil, 300m E, and Pulau Gabi, 0.5nm NNE of Pulau Rusa Kecil. The track then leads WNW between Pulau Riau (00°48'N 104°38'E) and the S extremity of Pulau Kelong, 0.35nm N, then between the E extremity of a shoal extending NE from Pulau Bulat (00°48'N 104°36'E), marked by a buoy (port hand), and the SW extremity of Pulau Kelong, then onto the alignment of the leading lights.

Caution: The channels leading between the W side of Pulau Mapor and the E coast of Pulau Bintan are only suitable with local knowledge and are not recommended.

Selat Kijang Leading Lights:

Front light (wooden framework structure) (00°48'N 104°35'E) situated close N of Tanjung Maga, the NW extremity of Pulau Siulung.

Rear light (similar structure) (0.37nm SW of the front light).

On the alignment (219°) astern, the track leads NE into Selat Kijang, and between the channel marking lightbuoys maintaining a mid channel approach to the berth.

Side channel: The alignment (342°) of a beacon (two cones points together) standing close off the SE coast of Pulau Kelong, and the summit of Temborah (00°50'N 104°39'E) leads from Selat Telang into the E approach channel in a least depth of 17.0m.

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.
