Burnie (AUBWT)

Emu Bay is an alternative name for Burnie.

Summer.

Burnie is situated on the western shore of Emu Bay on the N coast of Tasmania. The bay has a width of 2nm and a length of 1nm facing in a N'ly direction.

LOA 294.13m, beam 37.2m, draught 11.2m, 71,066DWT.

Approx 4,0502,000t of cargo, 242,000TEU and 430 vessels handled annually.

Anchorage may be obtained in Emu Bay with good holing ground, sand and clay, but open N and E. Depths decrease rather suddenly inshore of the 5m line. Vessels should not anchor within a depth of less than 13.0m. Temporary anchorage may be obtained on the alignment of the main approach leads, 2nm from the E end of Island Breakwater. Anchoring is prohibited in a precautionary area centred on position 41°02.81'S 145°56.00'E and designated as a Channel Escape Area in which large vessels are liable to make bold alterations of course and/or speed.

Vessels approaching the port from the W should, by day, keep the 2 orange beacons on the shoulder of Round Hill open to the N and then turn onto the main harbour leads which are in transit 224°. By night, keep in the white sector of Round Hill Point Light until the 2 blue lead lights come into transit 224°. Vessels approaching from the E should keep well clear of Round Hill Point and then turn onto the main leads by day, or the blue lead lights by night. The port is protected by 2 breakwaters. The inner founded at the inner end of Blackman Reef, lies in 110° direction, length 381m. The other is an island structure and lies in a 130° direction and is 488m in length. The western end of the breakwater bears 045° x 213m from the eastern end of the inner breakwater. The port has deep water with 10.0m in the approaches to the berths. The diameter of the swing basin is 460m. Caution: The principal danger off the port is Blackman Reef, with shallow water extending 1nm seaward from the western shore of the bay.

The minimum requirements for mooring handy size vessels with forward: 4 headlines and 2 springs and aft: 4 stern lines and 2 springs. Woodchip vessels are moored with forward: 5 headlines and 2 springs and aft: 5 stern lines and 2 springs. A lines boat is used to assist running of lines. First lines are generally headlines then a spring forward. First line aft is generally a spring, sent ashore by heaving line. Weather and vessel constraints vary all of the above.

Pilotage is compulsory and available throughout 24 hours for vessels over LOA 35m. Vessels that require a pilot to enter the port should not proceed S of 41° 02.00'S before embarkation. Pilot boards in position at: 41°01.62'S 145° 57.19'E. The PV, William Bowen, is 12.5m long, with an orange hull and buff cabin aft; equipped with VHF it shows the normal international pilot signals. No vessel other than a vessel exempted from pilotage shall be navigated within the port unless a licensed pilot is employed for the conduct of such a vessel.

All waters that are bounded by an imaginary circle having a radius of 3nm and centred at the E end of the island breakwater in Emu Bay.

Round Hill Point: Located in 41°04'S 145°58.9'E. Light Fl W R 5s 30m; W18M R 14M. Burnie Harbour approach leads: Front lead: Light F B 17m, in position 41°03.8'S 145°54.8'E. Rear lead: Light F B 34m in position 41°03.9'S 145°54.6'E. The front lead is situated on a building on the foreshore at an elevation of 17m and by day is an orange triangle apex up. By night it shows as a blue triangle apex up. The rear lead is on a pole in a clearing 223.5°, approx 240m from the front lead. By day it is an orange triangle apex down, elevation 34m and by night it shows as a blue triangle apex down. Island breakwater: On the SE end there is a fixed all round green neon light and on the NW end a fixed all round white neon light, both are on steel towers 16.5m above HW. Berth Leading Lights: Berth Nos 6 and 7: There are 2 fixed green lights, 260°, midway between the berths. Note: When vessels are berthing at night a fixed red light is exhibited from the seaward corner of the berth being approached.

The port is fog free and there is no restriction on night movements. Acid Line Bridge has a vertical clearance of 11m.

HW: 3.22m LW: 0.5m

Tugs should be ordered through agent with at least 24 hours before arrival/departure/shifting. Three tugs are available, 3 x 2500hp, each twin screw about 40t bollard pull are available. Two tugs are stationed in the Port and available on request.
