VESSEL MOORING
Berths are generally assigned to vessels in the order of their arrival at the port area. However, deviations from this principle may occur at the discretion of the port authority. The port uses the Port Activity application to optimize berth assignments.
Vessels must be moored to the berth designated by the port authority and in a manner approved by them. The owner or operator of the vessel is responsible for ensuring that the vessel’s mooring equipment is always in good condition. The vessel’s captain must be aware of the current water depth at the vessel’s mooring location.
BERTHS:
Deep-water berths, berths 1–5: length 500 m, verified water depth –10.2 m.
Dolphin berth, berth 6: length 160 m, stern-to berth, verified water depth –8.8 m.
Berth 7: length 165 m, verified water depth –10.2 m.
Ro-Ro, chemical berth, berth 8: length 130 m, verified water depth –10.2 m, maximum allowed vessel length 140 m.
Outer Port berth: length 170 m, verified water depth –8.0 m.
When mooring or unmooring a vessel to/from the berth, and while the vessel is at the berth, necessary caution must be taken to prevent damage to the berth and the cranes and other equipment on the berth. The port authority may also require the vessel to use a pilot and tug assistance while maneuvering in the port area.
Permission from the port authority is required for the long-term placement of a stripped vessel or other floating structure in the port. The owner or agent of the vessel or floating structure must entrust their maintenance to a reliable individual, whose name and address must be provided to the port authority.
