Port Kembla (AUPKL)

Port Kembla consists of an Outer Harbour protected by breakwaters and an Inner Harbour which has been dredged out of the flat hinterland. Kembla is the second largest coal exporting port of New South Wales and the largest port for the import of iron ore and limestone for the manufacture of iron and steel which are then exported. Other imported cargoes include fertilisers, limestone and petroleum products. After major expansion, Port Kembla has seen diversification of its trade base to include general and break bulk cargoes, containers and motor vehicle imports. The port is also due to be home to the first LNG import terminal in New South Wales.

Summer.

Port Kembla is situated on the New South Wales coast, approx 60km SSW of Sydney.

LOA 300m, beam 50m, draught 16m, 209,869DWT.

Approximately 27,000,000t of cargo (including 8,000,000t of coal and 23,000t of grain) and 800 vessels annually.

The Port Corporation does not recommend anchoring close to the Port because of poor holding ground on the adjacent coastline to Port Kembla. Vessels may not anchor within the inward reporting limit to Port Kembla or within the harbour. ..... For guidance, Masters are advised to: 1. Anchor well outside designated Port limits. 2. Not to anchor within 3nm of the coast. 3. Not to anchor on, or West of, the port entrance channels or close to the approaches to the port. 4. Inform Port Kembla Port Corporation VTC on VHF Ch11 of any anchorage position relative to Wollongong Lighthouse. 5. Maintain a continuous listening watch on VHF Ch 11 and Ch16 and and take note of weather forecasts. 6. Keep an adequate anchor watch and be prepared to move immediately out to sea. The Port Corporation operates the VTC for information purposes only and any decision to anchor or leave an anchorage is solely at the Master's discretion. While awaiting berth, pilot or orders, vessels should anchor N of a line eastward from Wollongong Light in water 25-35m and well clear of the approaches to the port. All designated anchorages (E1 to E9 and W1 to W6) have been revoked. Foul ground exists close by the pilot boarding ground. Vessels should avoid anchoring between the islands, as this is also foul ground. At the time of anchoring, position and forward and aft draughts should be reported to the signal station.

Vessels are advised to check with the port as to latest depths. Masters of vessels are required to have minimum draughts of 2% of LOA forward and 3% of LOA aft. The propeller should also be fully immersed. In windy conditions it is prudent to have the vessel ballasted as deeply as possible. To allow for safe passage in the port, the Underkeel Clearance (UKC) for ships undertaking pilotage in Port Kembla is required to be not less than 1.25m. Approaching from the S, pass 1nm E of Bass Island (1.5nm at night) and then approach Port Kembla from the N. The Deep Water Channel through the Five Islands Group should only be used by craft with local knowledge. On approach to the port at night speed must be reduced early as the lights of vessels at anchor are hard to distinguish against the many powerful lights ashore. Minimum depth in approach channels to Inner/Outer Harbours is 15.2m. Leading lights for the entrance to the Outer Harbour for use by deep draught vessels are in line bearing 213°. The narrow white sector of the front light, bearing between 212.5° and 213.5°, leads 0.5nm NW of Flinders Islet and between the breakwaters, width 305m and depth 16.7m (ISLW). The front light is exhibited throughout the day. Note: There is a secondary set of leading lights for smaller vessels leading 207.7° into the harbour. Leading lights for the entrance to the Inner Harbour are in line bearing 300.3°, leading from the Outer Harbour through a channel 160m wide between the 15m depth contours into Inner Harbour. Leading lights for entering the Eastern basin are in line bearing 358°, leading midway between the bulk grain and bulk coal berth, width 260m. Single way traffic, vessels must not pass in the entrance, outbound vessels have the right of way.

AUS195, 808. Admiralty Pilot NP14, NP286(4). US Sailing Directions No 127 (East Coast of Australia and New Zealand).

Up to 50nm offshore only small boats available, VHF Ch 16.

Approx 1025, except in periods of very heavy rainfall.

Port Kembla Gateway Jetty mooring arrangements: The Outer Harbour at Port Kembla is sometimes affected by surge action and Masters of vessels berthed at this jetty must ensure that their vessels do not have less than the minimum moorings. ..... Minimum mooring 4 head lines 4 stern lines 2 fore springs 2 aft springs At least one head line, one stern line and one spring fore and aft shall be doubled up. The linesmen are aware of these requirements and will assist ships crew with this arrangement. Prior to using/testing engines alongside the berth, permission must be obtained in writing from the Harbour Master. The handling of ship's lines on the shore, unless in an absolute emergency, must be done by approved personnel. It is therefore recommended that Masters ensure that their vessel is adequately secured on arrival, allowing for seasonal winds and in the Outer Harbour, swell patterns. For any advice regarding the number and placement of mooring lines please consult the pilot when berthing.

Pilotage is compulsory for all vessels over 30m length or those required by the Harbour Master (except for those vessels exempted where the Master holds a valid Exemption Certificate for Port Kembla). Pilotage available throughout 24 hours. Pilots are supplied by the Port Corporation, when vessel is 5nm off, call "Port Kembla Harbour" on Ch 11. Vessels awaiting the arrival of the pilot should be in a position N of a line running E from Wollongong Light and on the approach leads. After confirmation has been received from the Vessel Traffic Information Centre that the pilot is proceeding to the ship, vessels should get underway and proceed at a speed not exceeding 6kts along the line of the leads to the appropriate pilot boarding ground, at no time approaching closer to the entrance than 3nm, unless instructed to do so. There are two pilot boarding grounds: Outer boarding ground ('B'): Compulsory for aIl vessels of LOA 226m and over, is situated 4nm from the breakwater, (34°24.23'S 150°57.62'E). Bearing of 066° and 2.73nm from Wollongong Lighthouse. Inner boarding ground ('A'): For vessels less than LOA 226m, is situated 3.0nm NNE of the breakwaters, (34°25.15'S 150°56.85'E) on the leads. Bearing of 085° and 1.88nm from Wollongong Lighthouse. Vessels shifting berth or departing should confirm ETD 30 minutes before departing. Pilot ladders should be rigged on the starboard side, 2.0m above the water and comply with SOLAS Regulations and IMO standards. On departure, ladders should be rigged on the port side, 2.0m above the water. Combination ladders should be tied to the ship's side or to a SOLAS approved Blue Box suction pad.

The port limit has been altered to an arc of circle radius 2.17nm, centred on the NE Breakwater Light (34 27.91'S 150 54.81'E).

Wollongong Lighthouse and the main port entrance leads.

Minimum draught: Vessels are required to have minimum draughts of 2% of LOA forward and 3% of LOA aft. In addition, it is required that the propeller be immersed. In windy conditions it would be prudent to have the vessel in heavy weather ballast condition.Maximum departure draught: Calculated as follows, 15.25m + height of tide divided by 1.08. The UKC for ships departing the port is required to be not less than 8% of the vessel's draught. Under Keel Clearance: To allow for safe passage in the port the UKC for ships entering Port Kembla is required to be not less than 1.2m when not using the DUKC system. Alongside berth minimum UKC is 0.6m in Outer Harbour and 0.3m in Inner Harbour. Darkness: Length restriction LOA 300m. Longer allowed but the vessel is specifically identified by name after comprehensive assessment. All Cape size vessels inbound or outbound during periods of reduced visibility or darkness are required to have a working rate of turn indicator and speed log. Wave Generator: A wave generator, and protective berm to the N, are located on the seaward side of the coal storage area to the E of Berth No 103 (34° 30.124'N 150°54.106'E). The area is marked by N and S Cardinal markers. Underwater Hazards: A submarine cable is laid from Berth 201, running SE to the E end of the N Breakwater and then 0.3nm ENE across the Outer Harbour entrance; a second branch extends 0.3nm NNE. A submarine oil pipeline is laid across The Cut (34°27.88'S 150°54.00'E) which forms the entrance to the Inner Harbour.

MHWS 1.6m; MLWS 0.3m.

Vessels are not permitted to pass eachother in the entrance to the Outer Harbour. Outband vessels have right of way. All shipping movements are controlled from the VTC on VHF Ch 11. All harbour movements are normally conducted on Ch 08. AIS and Metocean in operation. The 5nm arc is centred on position 34°24'.70N 150°57'.10E Vessels approaching or departing Port Kembla will be instructed to pass through one of the following reporting points, or to cross the 5nm arc at another point: Reporting point S: For vessels approaching from the South, 34°29.41'N 150° 59.22'E, Wollongong Lighthouse bearing 143° x 6.2nm. Reporting point E: For vessels approaching from the East, 34°25.16'S 151° 03.22'E, Wollongong Lighthouse bearing 097° x 6.2nm. Reporting point N: For vessels approaching from the North, 34°20.50'S 151° 00.46'E, Wollongong Lighthouse bearing 047° x 5.2nm. Through Traffic: All vessels passing close inshore must seek clearance from Port Kembla using VHF Ch11 one hour prior to arrival at the 5mile arc. VTC will grant appropriate clearance to do so which may include entry and exit points, depending on the traffic situation at the time within the port limits.

Three tugs available: "Marloo" pulling up to 62t; "Beltana" pulling up to 60t and "Barunga" pulling up to 70t. A new tug harbour is now in operation close N of Berths 202 and 204. Three Lines Boats are available: "Wyee" (10m); "Dapto" (19m) and "Bodalla" (10m).

Prevailing winds: NE'ly to SE'ly. W'ly (Jul-Aug). Storm signals: Port Kembla Outer Harbour is at times subject to surge conditions and during such conditions it may be necessary to remove vessels from their berths in order to avoid damage to either berth or vessel. Engines should be kept in readiness at all times and repairs only undertaken after prior consultation with the Harbour Master. Sufficient crew should be retained onboard at all times to enable the vessel to move at short notice, 4 hours in fine weather and 1 hour when the storm signal is exhibited. Occasions do occur when it may be necessary to close the port for bad weather conditions or other reasons. In either case, once advised by the Port Corporation, Masters should ensure that their ship is ready to be moved at 1 hour's notice and maintain a listening watch on VHF Ch 11 whilst this signal is displayed.
