Zirku Island (AEZUR)

There are two tanker berths (SPM's) situated 8nm NNW of Zirku Island. Only crude oil is exported from the terminal. Small general cargo, breakbulk and Ro-Ro facilities can be found to the SE of Zirku Island and a pier handling landing crafts and crew/supply vessels can be found to the N.

Tropical.

Zirku Island, is located in the Persian Gulf approx. 76nm NW of Abu Dhabi.

Offshore: LOA 339.76, draught 21.0m, and 323,183DWT.

Approx 300 tankers are handled annually.

In case of a berth not being available, the approaching tanker will be instructed to proceed to an anchorage area and anchor at an agreed location. The tanker will wait at this location until further instructions are received. Tanker E Anchorage, approx 4.3nm NE of Zirku Island, is for tankers waiting for a berth. Tanker N Anchorage, approx 3.0nm E of the terminal, is for vessels waiting for a berth and by those vessels whose sailing is delayed. The holding ground is poor; a thin layer of sand over rock, with some coral patches. Vessels anchoring to await berthing instructions in Petroleum Port limit must advise "ZIRKU Port Control" via VHF radio of, anchoring time and anchoring position (bearing and distance from anchorage buoy No.2). All Vessels at anchor must keep a listening watch on VHF channels 16 and 64. When a vessel intends to leave the anchorage, it must obtain prior approval from ZIRKU Port Control via VHF Radio of intended time to heave up anchor, reason for departing and time departed anchorage (anchor clear). Prohibited Anchorage: Within port limits outside the designated anchorage areas. Anchorage for cargo vessels and barges is available in the following location in an area encompassed by a line joining the following positions: ..... Point Latitude Longitude A. 24° 50.000'N 53° 05.400'E B. 24° 51.300'N 53° 05.400'E C. 24° 51.300'N 53° 07.000'E D. 24° 50.000'N 53° 07.000'E An anchorage buoy is located at 24° 51.300'N 53° 6.900'E.

Departure route: A deep water channel for laden tankers leaving the terminal with a maximum draught of 21.0m leads N for about 12nm; it is marked by Nos 1 to 6 Lightbuoys (IALA System A); maximum speed in the channel 8kts. Deep draught vessels approaching the port via the above channel should advise the port of their intentions, prior to entering the channel.

BA 3413, 2443, 2444, 3178, 3179, 2889, 2837. Admiralty Pilot NP63, NP286(8).

There are regular visits by UAE coastguard vessels to the terminal and Zirku Island.

1025.

SPM's: The tanker must have the port side derrick/crane rigged for lifting the shore equipment aboard. The minimum derrick SWL shall be 15t. The bow chain stopper type brackets (as per OCIMF recommendations) will be prepared for mooring. Once the vessel is securely moored, the duty tug will secure it's towline through the tankers stern fairlead with best lead. It will remain on permanent VHF Ch 15 watch in addition to tanker loading channel.

Compulsory, within port limits. The pilot boat "Gain" has a max speed of 20kts and is marked "Zirku Pilot". Pilot/loading master normally boards in position 25°00.0'N 053°02.5'E, vessels are advised not to board pilots in the Traffic Separation Scheme. Vessels from N will be advised by VHF if a different location is to be used.

Zirku Island Light (24°53.0'N 053°04.1'E). The channel buoys are fitted with a navigation light Fl Mo (U) 15s. A fog horn fitted on the buoys is activated when necessary by a remote control system. A radar reflector is installed on each buoy structure.

Vessels with draught in excess of 16.0m are berthed during daylight only. Vessels speed must not exceed 8kts within port limits and departure route. Tankers of 20 years and over must undergo a daylight safety inspection before acceptance for berthing at the terminal. Restricted Area No. 2 - A circular area of radius 1nm centred on the repeater platform in position 25° 1.700'N 52° 55.700'E. Restricted Area No. 3 - A circular area of radius 0.5nm centred on the ZIRKU flare platform (ZFP) in position 24° 51.545'N 53° 2.573'E.

Rise of tide can be up to 2.0m but the usual variation is 1.0m. The highest average spring tide is 1.4m and lowest average neap tide is 1.0m. Tidal currents are semi diurnal.

A Traffic Separation Scheme is in operation in accordance with International Traffic Regulations.

There are 1 x 6,660bhp and 1 x 4,260bhp tugs available.

Prevailing winds are NW'ly.
