1012-1013.

Tides

S winds raise and N winds lower water by as much as 0.6m. In general, the level is high in summer and low in winter.

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

Approach

The main approach to the pilot boarding point and the start of the leading line is by Route No 9. Route No 23 is an inshore route direct to the breakwater but great care should be taken as there are numerous dangers close offshore and in the vicinity of the E breakwater. The gulf area, 1.2nm NE of the port, constitutes the port's outer roadstead. The outer roadstead's depths are 17.0-20.0m.

Caution: The area within 3nm of the E breakwater head is an extremely busy and congested shipping area requiring great vigilance during transit.

The port waters also include the water area near the roadstead point of oil products transfer, oil pier near the oil transfer Terminal No 1 and water area near the local passenger berths in a 0.3nm radius from the berthline and roadstead mooring buoys.
