Fremantle (AUFRE)

Fremantle handles over 90%, in value, of Western Australia State's sea imports and over 30% of its exports. The port consists of outer and inner harbour. The Inner Harbour within the mouth of the river has sheltered berths for break bulk, containers, vehicles, livestock and cruise ships. The Outer Harbour handles dry and liquid bulk cargoes such as grain, petroleum products, caustic soda, alumina, sands, coal, cement clinker, sulphur and fertilisers. A bulk loading facility is located at Kwinana Bulk Terminal exporting iron ore as well as other mineral products. To the S of Woodman Point The Australian Marine Complex specialises in the repair, maintenance and construction of naval and commercial vessels as well as the fabrication and assembly of offshore oil and gas modules. Fremantle port is managed using the "Voyager Port Management System" to support vessel scheduling, berth allocation, pilotage and other operations. Puma Energy have recently opened a Joint Venture bitumen import facility using a main import wharf line from Kwinana Bulk Jetty.

Summer.

The port of Fremantle is a modern deep water port at the mouth of the Swan River on the SW coast of Australia. The Outer Harbour is situated 20km S of the river mouth at Kwinana.

LOA 345.03m, beam 48.4m, draught 12.9m, 132,035DWT.

Approx 31,000,000t of cargo, 810,000 TEU, 1,500 vessels and over 72,000 passengers handled annually.

Vessels anchoring should establish communication with Fremantle and listen on Ch 12. The following anchorages are available for vessels prior to moving to a berth: ..... 1. Vessels with a draught of 11m or greater awaiting a pilot should anchor 2.0nm to the W of the Fairway/Landfall Buoy. Holding ground is fine sand and coral. 2. Vessels of less than 11m expecting a pilot on the same day of arrival may anchor in the vicinity of Hall Bank Beacon in Gage Roads. Holding ground is fine sand and shell. 3. Vessels of less than 11m not expecting a pilot on the same day of arrival should anchor in the western area of Gage Roads. Holding ground is fine sand and coral. 4. Vessels of less than 11m may anchor S of a line running between S Mole (32° 03.4'S 115°43.9'E) and Success/Parmelia Channel with permission of Harbour Master. Holding ground is sand and mud. 5. Outer Port Limits Anchorage 31°57.0'S 115°35.0'E. Vessels at anchor are permitted to operate their own boats by suitable arrangement with the Customs. A ferry service will only be provided through arrangement with the agent. Cockburn Sound Anchorages: Sulphur Bay area is used for vessels bunkering and surveys. Holding ground is sand. Oil refinery anchorage is used by vessels awaiting survey inspection and berths in Cockburn Sound. Holding ground is sand and clay. All anchored vessels should keep a listening watch on VHF Ch 12 for movement information and have a pilot ladder ready for pilots. Surveyors, Customs and agents may require a gangway. A bunker barge is available to supply fuel at a rate of 200tph to vessels anchored at Sulphur Bay in Cockburn Sound and Gage Roads. Barge capacity 800t. Prohibited Anchorages: ..... 1. Between the Fairway/Landfall Buoy and No 1 Deep Water Channel Buoy; 2. In the Deep Water Channel; 3. Between a line drawn through S and N Mole lights and a line running 263° from S Mole to a line running 349° parallel to the western beacons of Success Channel. Quarantine Anchorage: Vessels which have not been granted pratique must not pass S of a line between N Mole (32°03.1'S 115°43.4'E) and Mewstone (32°05'S 115°40'E). ..... Gage Roads: To ease congestion on existing anchorages, seven anchorage positions which were previously temporary have now been permanently declared, all within Port Limits north of Deep Water Channel. To enable clearance between each anchorage position, a 500m swinging radius has been used together with a min of 0.81nm (1,500m) between each centre. These are positioned as follows: Anchor Anchorage Position (WGS84) Designator Latitude Longitude 01 31°53.23'S 115°38.91'E 02 31°54.04'S 115°39.25'E 03 31°54.49'S 115°40.14'E 04 31°55.07'S 115°39.07'E 05 31°55.58'S 115°39.88'E 06 31°55.94'S 115°38.94'E 07 31°55.94'S 115°38.94'E Fremantle Ports VTS will inform vessels of nominated anchorages depending on existing anchorage occupancy. There are six designated anchorages within Naval Waters between Careening Bay and Sulphur Bay in 10m to 12m clay. However, in very strong winds it is reported that vessels are likely to drag their anchors here.

SEAWARD APPROACHES: All vessels entering the Port of Fremantle must make their approach passing to the N of Rottnest Island. Unless constrained by draught and compelled to take a pilot at the outer boarding ground, inbound vessels may proceed to Gage Roads either to anchor or embark a pilot at the inner boarding ground. The Deep Water Channel SE of Fairway/Landfall Buoy, distinguished initially by Buckland Hill directional PEL Light (32°01.1'S 115°45.6'E) and virtual AIS buoys provides a depth of 16.5m in the white sector into Gage Roads, the channel being marked by 5 buoys.The bank between the 10m contour and Deep Water Channel provides a minimum depth of 10.6m in the white sector of Woodman Light (32°07.9'S 115°46.6'E) but is subject to large swells after W'ly winds. The red/white blend of Woodman Light clears the 10m contour on this bank. A least depth of 13.1m, in the green sector of Woodman Light, and close to the E of Deep Water Channel, is available for those vessels which do not require Deep Water Channel on departure but who may be affected by swell to the W of this channel. APPROACH CHANNELS: SUCCESS AND PARMELIA APPROACH CHANNEL: One Channel with Success Bank to the N and Parmelia Bank to the South, leading 169.2° from NNW to SSE down to Cockburn Sound and 349.2° from SSE to NNW, up to Cage Roads and the start of the approach channel into Fremantle Inner Harbour. Dredged to minimum of 14.7m below Fremantle datum, min width 152.4m, able to accommodate vessels up to 140,000DWT. Secondary channels leading off to Alumina Refinery Jetty and Kwinana Bulk Terminal, dredged to a minimum depth of 11.6m below Fremantle Datum, min width 152.4m. THE AUSTRALIAN MARINE COMPLEX: Southern Harbour, main approach is made from the South (342.6°) via the Medina Channel. The entrance is marked by a S Cardinal at the head of the breakwater and green lit marker No 3. The entrance to the Northern Harbour, to the NE of Jervoise Bay, has red and green lit markers displayed from the end of each breakwater. DEPTH OF APPROACH CHANNEL TO INNER HARBOUR: The declared depth of the approach channel to Inner Harbour and sections of Inner Harbour area are dredged to 14.7m LW. The declared depth of the approach channel and berths are part of maintenance dredging programmes and may not be actual. UKC: The port operates a Dynamic Under Keel Clearance programme which nominates specific criteria for applicable vessels. Transits managed by this programme are included in Table 'A' below. Vessels with draughts greater than those described in this Table, should also contact the Harbour Master for approval to transit Fremantle waters: ..... Table 'A': 1. All vessels with draught greater than 12.9m arriving at and departing from the BP Refinery. 2. Container vessels with draught greater than 12.6m arriving at and departing from the Inner Harbour. 3. Bulk Carriers/Tankers with draught greater than 11m transiting Stirling/Calista Channels arriving at or departing from Alcoa Jetty. Vessels with a greater LOA or beam described in the Table 'B' below should also contact the Harbour Master for approval to transit Fremantle waters: .....

Where only 2 or 3 self tensioning winches are available, it is important that they are used to the best advantage for shifting ship: Forward: ..... 1. Two headlines turned up on windlass warping drums. 2. Forward spring for warping astern. 3. Breastline for holding alongside, 2 if not on tension winch. 4. Other lines as necessary and available Aft: 1. Two sternlines. 2. One shoreline. 3. After spring for warping ahead. 4. Breastline as for forward. 5. As necessary and available. Patrick Terminal: Max draught is 12.7m. However, for berthing and unberthing, 0.5m UKC is required. On assessment, Port may allow 0.3m UKC when alongside cargo work. Kwinana Bulk Terminal Bulk Berth 2: Berth length is 268m with Jetty length 498m, extending at 90° from shoreline.

Compulsory, except for vessels not exceeding 150GT and for coastal and interstate vessels, the Masters of which hold valid Exemption Certificates. Pilots are available throughout 24 hours. ..... Pilots board in following positions: Outer: 31°55.50'S 115°36.00'E, for vessels of 11.0m draught and over. Inner: 32°01.40'S 115°41.30'E, for vessels of less than 11.0m draught. Masters are required to provide the Pilot with information about the handling characteristics of the vessel, using a standard format International Pilot Card. During the Pre-passage Briefing, the Pilot may, where appropriate, include such items as: a. Planned route - location of berth or anchorage - side to. b. Anticipated speeds and ETA c. Minimum static UKC allowance for vessel motion - estimated squat. d. Emergency anchorages en route. e. Expected traffic. f. Tide, current, weather forecast and any limitations. g. Navigational aid status including current Notices to Mariners. h. Special requirements and use of anchors. i. Position to meet or release tugs, embark or disembark pilot. j. Intended manoeuvre to approach or leave berth. Note: At Master's request, pilots will board vessels of less than 11m draught at the outer Pilot boarding ground. This request must be stated in the 24 hour notice of arrival. Pilotage from the outer pilotage ground should also be requested by vessels not carrying chart Aus 112. Pilot does not board vessels at anchor. Usually pilot ladder is required on the port side for vessels inbound and starboard side for vessels outbound, even when the wind is in the E, unless E'ly wind is very strong as there is nearly always a W to NW swell. If in doubt call Port Signal Station on VHF Ch 12. Pilot ladder to be 2.0m above sea level with man ropes slightly shorter. Boat rope is not required. The ladder should be clean and conform with Regulation 17 of SOLAS. The vessel should be making 3-4kts. SOLAS Regulations are strictly adhered to: Single length of ladder, non slip surface (Aluminium NOT acceptable), 12in spacing between steps, no more than 2 replacement steps, all ropes on ladder and manropes to be manila and not covered (nylon and polypropylene not acceptable), Regulation 17(a) part (VII) and (VIII) are very important, a responsible officer is to standby and not a sailor. Pilot transfers to and from vessels in Cockburn Sound are usually made by a launch based at the oil refinery.

The port limits extend from a point on the coast at 32°02.5'S, then in a general NNW direction to the parallel of 31°53'S, then W to the meridian of 115° 32'E, then generally S to the parallel of 31°57'S, then E to the meridian of 115°35'E, then in a general SE direction to the meridian of 115°40'E.

..... A vessel whose LOA or beam exceeds those described in the table below may, with the Harbour Master's approval, be permitted to transit the Authority's waters after satisfying certain additional operational requirements such as compliance with prescribed UKC, weather limitations and towage: Area LOA (m) Beam (m) Deep Water channel 350 46 Success and Parmelia Channels 275 46 Stirling and Calista Channels 210 32.5 Inner Harbour and Entrance Channel 265 40 Rouse Head Harbour Entrance 60 10 Restrictions exist for the Inner Harbour berths. Length of vessel restricted to LOA 263m. Vessels exceeding 263m will be exempted upon application. Length is restricted to 263m for safe manoeuvrability of the Harbour. However, a container vessel, LOA 292m, has used the Inner Harbour with prior permission and a passenger vessel, LOA 345m, has berthed at Victoria Quay. Tankers over 40m beam, loaded, using Success/Parmelia Channels are subject to draught limitation if the hull is a box section type. Gas carriers will not be berthed in winds greater than 25kts at Kwinana Bulk Terminal - Kwinana Bulk Berth No 2. Vessels in ballast: For safe navigation, the ship's propeller should be immersed, the bow deep enough for adequate vision from the bridge and draught suitable for the vessel size in order to minimise leeway. Vessels which cannot meet the criteria for minimum draught, may be delayed if wind conditions are unfavourable. Table of recommended minimum draughts: .....

An increase in barometric pressure tends to lower the sea level approximately 0.1m for a difference in pressure of 10mbs and vice versa. However, the effects of pressure are not evident immediately and rarely exceed 0.25m. The effect of wind depends on wind direction and duration.

A 24hr VTS with full AIS, RADAR and ECDIS surveillance is maintained for the control of shipping at the Signal Station on top of the Fremantle Ports Administration Building. Vessel Traffic Service Procedure: ..... 1. A reporting line has been established as follows: Rottnest Island (32° 01.5'S 115°27.0'E) then due W to 32°01.5'S 115°22.0'E; then in a clockwise direction in an arc of radius 15nm centred on the Fairway Lightbuoy (31°57.1'S 115°38.8'E) until intersecting the mainland at 31°42.4'S 115°42.3'E. 2. Vessels inbound to Fremantle are to report to Port of Fremantle when crossing the reporting line. 3. Vessels proceeding to the Inner Pilot Boarding Position or to anchorage in Gage Roads (draught less than 11m) are required to indicate their intention to use either East or West Channel. 4. Vessels are required to report their confirmation of pilotage requirement at either the Outer or Inner Pilot Boarding Position when crossing the reporting line.

Fremantle Tug Operators provide three large tugs, up to 4,800hp, for assistance of vessels in the Inner Harbour and two other large tugs are available in the Outer Harbour. In addition to the large tugs, two companies (Total Harbour Services & Stirling Marine) offer a variety of smaller tugs. Allocation of tugs is as per the Harbour Master's Operational Parameters. All tugs in the port of Fremantle are privately owned and operated.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly.

Contact local Customs Department. Crew and passengers on vessels arriving in Australia are required to present themselves for Immigration Clearance. Any person arriving and who departs the vessel without doing this, may result in them being an unlawful entrant and subject to serious Immigration compliance action. A vessel is deemed to have arrive in the country when it has berthed or has dropped its anchor. Customs sometimes complete Immigration Clearance on board a vessel, such as a cruise ship, while it is enroute from its last overseas port. Customs will issue a Seaports Immigration Clearance Advice form (Customs Form B523). It is recommended that a copy of this is kept by the Master after it has been issued. Further information on Fremantle Customs and Immigration procedures can be found in the Port Information Guide, website: http://www.fremantleports.com.au

The Fremantle Port Authority regulations require that all vessels give notification of their expected arrival, through their appointed Agent, at Fairway Light Buoy 31°57.13'S 115°38.82'E, as follows: ..... 1. 48 hours prior to arrival advising: a. Max draught b. Revised ETA c. Details of hazardous cargo d. Any requirement for pilot embarkation at the outer boarding ground if the vessel's draught is less than 11.0m. e. Equipment defects f. Confirmation of Chart Aus 112 onboard vessel (or SOLAS electronic equivalent). g. Vessel stability date for DUKC calculations (if required). 2. 24 hours notice of arrival at pilot boarding ground, including updated ETA, updated arrival draught and, for vessels under 11.0m, Master's request for Outer Pilot Boarding. In addition, updated DUKC stability data (if required). 3. 2 hours prior to arrival advising updated last port of call and arrival draught on VHF Ch 12. Any variance from the latest advised time should be notified to the Harbour Master as soon as possible. All messages of notification of arrival should be addressed to the Harbour Master and sent directly to the Port Authority Signal Station. Failure to provide the correct notice of arrival may cause a vessel to be delayed in berthing. Quarantine Authorities require mandatory pre arrival AQIS report to be sent between 48 hours and 12 hours before arrival from a foreign port, see Country section for further details required for advance notice of Crew Lists and Cargo Declaration. Fremantle Port Authority require Form No3, Application for Berth, to be submitted no less than seven days prior to arrival. Dynamic Under Keel Clearance (DUKC) application forms should be submitted as early as possible but not less than 48 hours prior to arrival (for deep draught vessels arriving and departing). Before bunkering or transfer of oil between ship or ship and barge is permitted, Form W12 must be completed and submitted no less than 24 hours beforehand. Departure: Vessels should give 2 hours' notice of confirmation of departure with updated departure draught, stability data (if required) and at least 2hrs notice of cancellation or change for any movement booking.

Tanker regulations: Special Regulations for tankers berthing at Oil Refinery Jetties. Opening/Closing Hatches: By arrangement between ship's agent and stevedores. Dangerous Cargoes: At least 48 hours notification is required for all dangerous cargoes (including transit cargoes) entering the Port. All high hazard dangerous cargoes require permission for entry into Fremantle Port berths.

Pratique Requirements: The Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) inspect all vessels arriving from overseas. Prior to arrival, all vessels more than 25m LOA are required to submit a Quarantine Pre-Arrival Report (QPAR) to AQIS at their first port of call no more than 96 hours and no less than 12 hours prior to the vessel's ETA in Australia. Information on how to complete this form can be found on www.aqis.gov.au/shipping. Radio Pratique: Concession of radio pratique is available to all vessels except those which carry livestock. Radio pratique may be applied for by livestock vessels. However, they will be boarded and inspected by a Quarantine Officer before the vessel is allowed to berth. ..... 1. a. The Master or agent must make a request (Form Q2) to Department of Health within 12-48 hours prior to the arrival of the vessel, answering all the questions on the form. b. If answers are satisfactory, radio pratique will be granted for Fremantle from a specified time and date enabling the vessel to proceed to the berth without displaying the "Q" flag signal. c. A Quarantine Officer will board the vessel at the berth. If the answers given on the Declaration of Health (Q360) are satisfactory, pratique may then be granted for all Australian ports. 2. Notwithstanding that pratique for all ports may have been granted, the Master will still be responsible for reporting any case of infectious disease which may subsequently occur whilst the vessel is in Australian waters. Should a case of infectious disease (not being a quarantineable disease) occur onboard whilst the vessel is at sea in Australian waters, the Master will be required to advise by radio to the Quarantine Officer for the state in which the next port is situated, who will arrange to see the case on arrival. The Master will not be required to fill in a supplementary health form and the vessel will be permitted to proceed direct to berth without flying the "Q" flag. Should a case of suspected quarantineable disease occur onboard whilst at sea in Australian waters, the Master is required to radio details to the Quarantine Officer for the state in which the next port is situated and await instructions. The Quarantine Officer will decide according to circumstances whether to inspect the vessel outside the quarantine line or permit it to proceed to berth and he will advise the Master. 3. Should it come to notice in any particular case that radio pratique has been granted as a result of a radio message sent in accordance with sub-paragraph (1), whereas in fact the wireless message contains false information, the matter will be investigated and reported to the Director General of Health, who will decide whether radio pratique will be denied in future to the vessel on which the Master holds responsibility.
