Whyalla Port is owned and operated by Onesteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd (trading as SIMEC Mining). The port divided into 3 main areas known as Inner Harbour, Outer Harbour and Offshore Transhipment Points. The Inner Harbour is for the discharge of bulk raw materials used at the steelworks. It is also used for the discharging of breakbulk cargoes which includes coal, dolomites, limestone and coke by products and the loading of steel products. The Outer Harbour or Ore Jetty and is used for bulk loading of iron ore products. The Offshore Transhipment Operation which is carried out by CSL Australia for and on behalf of OneSteel. There are four prescribed Transhipment points, located south of the Port of Whyalla. (See chart AUS 136), loading via the FOTB CSL Whyalla. Imports: Coal, limestone, general, dolomite and ferro silicon. Exports: Iron ore, salt, coke breeze, steel products and nut coke.

Summer.

Whyalla is located in Spencer Gulf, South Australia and connected by railway to Iron Knob.

Harbour: Draught 11.0m, LOA 200.07m, beam 32.27m, 64,723DWT Offshore: LOA 299.97m, 208,942DWT

Approximate 12,500,000t of iron ore are handled annually

Outer Anchorage: Vessels not engaged in transhipping may anchor in a position S of 33°04.00'S, 2 - 3.5nm SSE of No 1 Light Beacon (33°02.40'S 137°37.70'E). Recommended anchorage area for vessels over LOA 280m: 33°18.9'S 137°33.0'E 33°20.1'S 137°37.4'E 33°25.5'S 137° 35.4'E 33°24.3'S 137° 31.0'E. Recommended anchorage area for vessels with LOA 280m: 33° 12.000'S 137° 35.400'E Recommended anchorage area for vessels lesser than LOA 280m: 33° 3.300'S 137° 39.000'E 33° 3.000'S 137° 40.500'E 33° 5.000'S 137° 39.000'E 33° 5.000'S 137° 40.500'E

1026 to 1028.

Berthing and unberthing is carried out at all hours. The only governing factors are the tide heights, rate of flow and adverse weather.

Pilotage is compulsory for all vessels over LOA 35m and not involved in transhipping operations, unless exempt. Pilot boards in position at: 33° 03.67'S 137°38.90'E (at the Whyalla pilot boarding ground, 1.7nm SE of No 1 Lt Bn). Incoming vessels proceeding to the Transhipment anchorage do not require a pilot. Cape-size vessels travelling S after being loaded by the Transhipment Operation and having a draught of more than 16m must undertake that route under pilotage, by a pilot licensed by the S Australian Government, for this outward voyage. Pilotage is to continue until the vessel has reached a point at least as far S as Wallaroo. Pilotage should be arranged by vessel's agents/owners.

The port of Whyalla includes all the waters, rivers, creeks and inlets within an area adjacent to and extending approx 4.0nm SE of the port.

Under Keel Clearance (UKC): Arriving and departing a minimum UKC of 10% is required, when manoeuvring alongside least UKC is 0.6m and when alongside a least UKC is 0.3m. When loading at the OHTB a min of 0.6m is required to allow for swell surge. Deep draught loaded vessels are only manoeuvred at or around slack water. At the OHTB vessels greater than LOA 185m are not usually berthed/unberthed on the ebb tide, but such a decision will be left to Pilot/Master discretion. Exclusion zone: A 20m exclusion zone exists around all the shoreline in the Port of Whyalla. The exclusion zone covers all the steelworks' shoreline and 20m seaward, commencing on the S side of the Pellet Plant Number 2 Ore Jetty, then generally W, E and N around the jetty, the Tailings Dam Revetment, the Inner Harbour, the E and W breakwaters to the edge of the mangroves. The exclusion zone also incorporates a 20m radius around all navigation beacons within the Port of Whyalla. Mariners are advised to keep clear of the exclusion zone at all times.

Mean min and max tidal range is between 0.6m and 2.3m.

Four tugs are available, operated by CSL Australia, Svitzer and Engage Marine.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly. Atmospheric conditions can depress the tide up to 30cm.
