Aracaju (BRAJU)

Aracaju is a small general cargo and grain port. Carmopolis, a Sub-Port of Aracaju, comprises one CBM and is used exclusively for the loading of crude oil from the fields of Carmopolis, Siriri, and Riachuelo. It is owned and operated by Petrobras and consists of 1 x 26in pipeline from the onshore storage tanks to the CBM. The position of the loading buoy is 11°02.679'S., 037°00.826'W.

Tropical.

The port of Aracaju is located at the estuary of the Sergipe River, 200km N of the major port of Salvador. An offshore sea berth facility, situated on the Brazilian E coast, approx 9km S of the general cargo port of Aracaju.

Harbour: Max draught 4.2m. Offshore: Max LOA 300m, BCM 127.3m, draught 14m and 115,617DWT.

In calm weather, vessels may anchor NE of the bar, in depths of 7 to 12m with depths of fine sand and mud. Within the river there is a sheltered anchorage of depths of 10 to 12m. Ships should not anchor S of the channel across the bar due to submarine oil pipelines. Anchorage is also prohibited in an area 2.25nm N of Pontal de Propria, owing to the presence of a submarine cable. For Carmopolis two anchorage areas are available (DHN-1001) for oil tankers in depth of 25m. Manoeuvring captain may board a vessel underway near anchorage. The aforementioned anchorages provide immediate access to the CBM. However, it is recommended that vessels should stay at anchor for no longer than 24 hours with the anchor in the same place, as it may then become difficult to heave out. Anchors must be ready for instant use. There are submarine pipelines between the berth and shore, from offshore platforms. Therefore vessels must not, under any circumstances, drop anchor between the berth and the shore. .....

The mouth of the river Sergipe has a width of 0.75nm between its entrance points, it is obstructed by sandbanks and as a result it leaves a narrow channel on the S side. This channel must be entered with local knowledge due to the fact that it varies in width.The length of the approach channel is 2,400m. Propria Lightbuoy, which indicates the approach to the channel over the bar, is moored approx 3nm SE of Pontal de Propria, the bar is 4.0m in depth. The channel over the bar and up river to the port is marked by lightbuoys and buoys in accordance with the IALA Maritime Buoyage System (Region "B"). The pilots occasionally supplement the buoyage at the bar with floating beacons. For Carmopolis, as it is an open roadstead, the terminal can be easily and safely approached either from the NNE or from the SSW. The shoreline runs 035°/ 215°. Between the Sergipe and Vaza-Barris Rivers, the shore line is almost a straight sand dune covered beach with very few landmarks. Tankers should be aware of 4 oilfields with fixed production platforms, which constitute good positional markers. Mooring buoys are located in the following positions: .....

The Manoeuvre Captain is in charge of the manoeuvres of mooring and unmooring of vessels. Mooring: Depending on the wind direction when berthing there are three alternative mooring arrangements to the buoys and two approach directions, NE and SW. The anchors are placed so that the angle between them is approx 90°. It is necessary to place the anchors so that a straight line joining them would be perpendicular to the direction of the prevailing wind. The first anchor dropped is the upstream anchor, then the vessel veers to the lee chain and heaves in on the riding midway between both anchors with the desired scope of chain to each. Following this, the letting of the first lines may be given to the crew launch which will fasten the lines to the windward mooring buoys, according to the mooring master's instructions.

Pilotage is compulsory, 48 and 24 hour notice is required. Pilots board in position 10°58'54''S., 36°59'25''W When approaching the buoys at the entrance to the channel vessels should indicate their draught by the International Code of Signals and, if ordered by the signal station, wait for a greater depth on the bar They should anchor or heave-to in the vicinity of the outer lightbuoy. Weather permitting, pilots board in the vicinity of the buoys at the entrance to the channel, in bad weather which is more usual, vessels are directed across the bay by signals, made by the pilot from his boat within the bar and repeated by the signal station, located approx 0.7nm S of Aracaju light. For Carmopolis pilotage is compulsory however no pilots are stationed in Carmopolis. Therefore all manoeuvres will be undertaken by the vessel's master with the help of a Carmopolis mooring master, who will board at the anchorage area and will advise on all operations. By daylight, the Mooring Master boards the vessel 1.0nm SE of the terminal sea buoys. When arriving at night, masters are advised to use the recommended anchorage positions. Vessels are requested to have a pilot ladder long enough to reach the terminal launch, rigged in combination with the accommodation ladder in order that shore personnel may be transferred to it. The vessel's master must notify the mooring master of any defects or fault that may affect the handling of the vessel. Pilots board in the following position; .....

Aracaju Light is exhibited from a concrete tower with black and white horizontal bands, 40m in height, situated approx 0.2nm W of the S entrance point to the Sergipe River. The disused light structure of the old Aracaju Light stands approx 1.3nm of the S entrance point. Propria Light, is exhibited from a red square masonry tower with a white band, 5m in height, situated on Pontal de Propria, the N entrance point of the river Sergipe. For Carmopolis, principal navigational aids include the Aracaju headlights: .....

Incarnate: 21mn A separate navigational aid for Carmopolis is seen as the tanks onshore, including tank 4305, which is conspicuous due to its dimensions and white colour.

For Carmopolis, vessels must take heed of the oil production platform and submarine pipelines. Navigation within 500m of the platforms is not permitted. In the event that winds exceed 35kts then mooring, unmooring and maintenance will be limited. Waves exceeding 2m will also limit mooring. During winter months vessels up to a max 65,000DWT may berth at the terminal due to adverse weather conditions. Vessels are not to use steel wiresteel wires in the mooring of ships to the frame. As a result vessels must provide 6 pairs of 440m floating cables, with the following specifications (as outlined by Petrobras): Braided naval cable 08 legs of prolipopylene or similar, DN 80.0 mm (circular approximately 11”), blade 220 m long, breaking load 58,200 Kgf. There is a possibility of combining steel wiresteel wires with synthetic fiber cables, provided that the first half (220 meters) to be launched is synthetic fibre. Note that, for the safety of the manoeuvre, there is a need for a total of 24 mooring cables of 220 meters (6 pairs of 440m).

MHWN 0.9 and MHWS 1.9m. For Carmopolis the flood tides during the bar pull to the S and during the ebb pull to the N. MHWN 0.6m and MHWS 2.3m. The currents rarely exceeds 2kts.

There are no traffic schemes however sea traffic is managed by the Port Authority of Aracaju.

For Carmopolis, there are two contracted tug vessels to assist with berthing, unberthing and emergencies.

Prevailing winds: NE'ly (summer) and SE'ly (winter). The S'ly winds can send heavy seas and make crossing the bar near on impossible. For Carmopolis, local weather may be considered as fair for tanker operations. Prevailing winds: NE'ly (summer); SE'ly (winter). Rain: Apr, May and Jun is the rainy season. Visibility is considered fair except during squalls. Temperature: Ranges from a low of 18°C in Jun to 30°C in Feb. Weather forecast as notice to mariners are transmitted by 'PZW' and 'PPR' coastal radio stations. Winds: Offshore winds are negligible. Those blowing from 040° to 160° counter-clockwise are insignificant. From Oct - Mar E'ly winds will prevail. Between May and Aug, SE'ly winds prevail (120° - 160°). In April and Sep, winds will blow either from the E or SE. 78% of wind force will be approx 4-16kts. Gales have been observed. Waves: All waves in the Aracaju area are caused by prevailing local winds. Often they may give the impression of a swell, but 60% of recorded waves are between 0.5 and 0.9m high.
