Then N of Pedra de Santa Tereza (0.3nm NW), two under water rocks, marked NE by a lightbuoy (isolated danger). Then S of the shoal, extending 0.35nm E from No 5 Light Beacon (1.0nm NW) and marked at its SE extremity by No 3 Lightbuoy. Then between the heads of the breakwaters (0.6nm NE), the S marked by No 2 Light Beacon (white metal column, height 12m) and the N by No 5 Light Beacon (white square concrete tower, height 5m. Then following the dredged channel, leading between the training wall on the S bank and several groynes extending from the N bank. The training wall is marked by numbered light beacons (port hand), the heads of two of the groynes by light beacons (starboard hand). A ferry crosses the channel (1.25nm NW).

Mean density: River 0.999, Sea 1.016. During low tide the port is influenced by fresh water from the River Itajai-Acu with the situation changing at high tide when the density is variable.

Vessels should always berth port side to, the port captain should be consulted if starboard side berthing is required for any reason. Unberthing must always be carried out by passing a doubled line from the stern to the wharf which should not be let go until the turning of the vessel is complete. During spring tides vessels must use doubled moorings and will only be moved at the pilot's discretion.

Pilot service provided by Practical Services of Itajai Pilotage SC. VHF channels 16 and 14. Pilot is compulsory. To await or to receive pilot, anchor 0.5nm to 5nm E of South Breakwater. Pilot boards in position 26°54.8'S 048°34.8'W. The distance from the pilot boarding point to the nearest berth is 1.6nm and the distance to the farthest berth is 2.2nm. At least 6 hours notice should be given by the vessel's agent to the port authority prior to the vessel's arrival. On arrival call "Itajai Pilots", via VHF Ch 14/16, Callsign: "ZXB23" Pilot station has 2 red launches with a "P" on side and funnel. Launches always anchor inside the port. In case of bad weather, vessel must wait for instructions in Porto Bello Bay, S of this port. In case of bad weather on sailing, if the pilot is unable to disembark at the entrance to the bar, this must be done in Porto Bello Bay, Tel: +55 47 348 3592.

The E limits of the port are a line joining No 2 Light Beacon, on the head of the S breakwater, to No 5 Light Beacon, at the head of the N breakwater. The W limit is 15km upstream from the bar.

Ponta das Cabecudas Light (white metal column, height 11m) (26°56.0'S 048° 37.0'W). Cabecudas Light (radio mast) (26°55.0'S 048°39.0'W).

Vessels can enter or sail at any tide with a maximum draught of 10m. Vessels with LOA over 210m can enter and sail in daylight only. Depths: Depth at bar 10m. Access channel: Width 100m, depth 10m. Manoeuvring basin: Width 330m, Depth 10m.

MHWS, 1.05m; MLWS 0.1m. MHWN, 0.8m; MLWN, 0.3m. When approaching the entrance care should be taken as both the in going and out going streams set the vessel towards the N; it is advisable to approach the entrance with No 2 Light Beacon ahead on a course of 270°. Between No 2 and No 5 Light Beacons the current sets S, increasing in strength as the vessel comes abeam of the latter beacon, after which the current follows the axis of the channel. Pilots report that the port is subject to the tide on all the berths. The current flows following the axis of the channel, this being modified by shallow water areas and following along the commercial berths. Depending on meteorological conditions, winds from the N depress the tidal height and winds from the S increase the tidal height. Speeds average 2kts, (ebb) max 5-6kts, after heavy rains upriver, speed 1kt, flood max 2kts.

There is no VTMS in operation.

Prevailing winds: NE'ly. Local weather: In strong winds from N to E the sea breaks on the bar and entrance is impracticable. After long periods of rain the out-going stream can reach rates of 5kts; under these conditions floating islands composed of vegetation and earth from the river banks may be encountered.
