Manaus (BRMAO)

Containerised, liquid/dry bulk and general cargo can all be handled by shore facilities. General cargo accounts for most of the port's tonnage with 1 ore and bulk cargo terminal, 4 tanker terminals, 1 liquefied gas terminal and 2 Ro-Ro offloading points available for specialised cargo. The major exports are rubber, nuts, potatoes, timber, hides, fibre, guarama, vegetable oils and oil bearing seeds.

Tropical.

Manaus is situated on the left bank of the Rio Negro in the State of Amazonas, approx 925nm from Belem.

LOA 225m, draught 33m, 50,000DWT. North Bar Channel: Max draught 11.45m HW, all seasons. General Cargo Stages: Up to LOA 175m, draught 8.8m or up to LOA 210m, draught 7.3m. Petrobras Reman: LOA 225m, beam 33m, draught 11.5m, displacement 66,000.

Approx 600 vessels and 500,000TEU handled annually.

Anchorage may be obtained SW of the city, clear of the mooring buoys in depths of 28-34m, mud and sand. The current in this vicinity averages 2kts. The area is bounded by following positions: ..... 1. 03°08.4'S 060°02.5'W 2. 03°08.6'S 060°02.6'W 3. 03°09.1'S 060°01.7'W 4. 03°08.9'S 060°01.7'W Tankers waiting to berth at the oil terminal should anchor in mid-river a short way below the refinery in 20 to 40m, sand. Anchorage for vessels over 3,000GT at position 03°09.00'S 060°01.48'W and for vessels of less than 3,000GT at position 03°09.00'S 060°02.12'W. Vessels in quarantine anchor in position 03°08.8'S 59°55.8'W. It is strictly prohibited for any vessel to anchor in the approaches to the port or the manoeuvring basin.

Entrance to the Amazon River by North Channel should only be attempted at HW. The max depth of water there is 11.5m FW. Via Belem the depth varies from 7.3m to 8.7m. At Manaus, along the length of the docks the depth of water is 35m. Owing to the exceptionally good navigable conditions on the Rio Negro, no approach channel to Manaus has been marked. The manoeuvring basin is located between Lat 03°08.5'S and the Roadway/Towers docks and Long 006°02.5'W.

Lower river pilots: APBAM (Associacao de Praticagem da Bacia Amazonica, Belem) who cover navigation of the river from Belem and Santana to Itacoatiara, including Santarem (River Tapajos) Porto Trombetas (River Trombetas) and Munguba (Jari River), are compulsory. Pilots board at either Belem, or in case of vessels entering the river by the North Channel, at Fazendinha (Santana) at 00°40.65'S 051°06.45'W. Pilotage from the sea buoy to Fazendinha is not compulsory. The Amazon North Channel between North Bar and Fazendinha (approx 182nm) has been declared safe for navigation without pilot assistance. The fairway is well marked by lights, racons and buoys. The channel is well defined and navigation is safe at all hours of the day and night. Vessels of up to LOA 245m with a draught of 11.2m FW are continuously navigating the channel. There are no means available to supply charts for the North Channel so it is most important that vessels have up-to-date charts before proceeding to the Amazon. The nearest alternative to pick up charts for the Amazon North Channel is Salinopolis pilot station. Upper river pilots: PROA (Associacao de Praticagem dos Rios Ocidentais de Amazonia, Manaus) covers navigation of the river from Itacoatiara to Tabatinga (frontier with Peru and Colombia) including Manaus (River Negro). Pilotage is compulsory and pilots board at Itacoataria or Manaus. River pilots boarding to assist navigation must be provided with officer standard accommodation near to the wheelhouse, hospital quarters will not be accepted. Pilotage costs on the Amazon are extremely high. Vessels calling at Manaus are served by the pilots of the Amazon Basin, 2 pilots embarking at Belem for the round voyage. Vessels entering via the North Bar take on the pilot off Santana. There is no local pilotage service at Manaus.

As vessels receive pratique in Belem or Santana, they are normally received when alongside, however if in transit only, they must anchor off the port, or in the case of tankers, off the refinery pier, 8km downstream. Petrobras: There are tug number requirements and night berthing length restrictions at Reman berths.

The port is non-tidal. There is a great variation in the level of Rio Negro during the year with regular periods of high and low river. The highest levels occur in Jun and Jul and the lowest in Nov and Dec. The mean range of the river level is 11.5m.

There are 2 tugs of 1 x 210hp and 1 x 1,680hp available.

Prevailing winds: NE'ly. The mean local temperature varies between 25°C and 28°C.

Radio: National Coastal Radio Stations Network (RENEC): The National Coastal Stations Network offers free communication facilities for messages concerning the safety of human life at sea such as: Distress calls, urgent medical advice, notices to mariners, meteorological messages, etc. The network comprises of 39 stations along the coast of Brazil and in the Amazon River, distributed as follows: ..... 1. One main station at Rio de Janeiro (PPR), with facilities available for communication via radio telegraphy (WT) and radio telephony (RT), with vessels sailing in almost every sea and ocean. 2. Three regional stations located at Belem (PPL), Olinda (PPO) and Rio Grande (PPJ), able to communicate via WT and RT with vessels up to approx 600nm distant. 3. Three local stations at Manaus (PPM), Santarem (PPT) and Itajai (PPC) responsible for communications via RT with vessels approx 200nm distant. 4. Seven restricted local stations at Santos (PPS), Paranagua (PPG), Porto Alegre (PPP), Vitoria (PPV), Natal (PPN), Fortaleza (PPF) and Salvador (PPA) able to communicate via RT with vessels sailing in the immediate vicinity. 5. The remaining 25 stations handle local RT communications. VHF: Via "Salinopolis Radio". Pilot services: Tel: +55 92 3624 2164, Fax: +55 92 3629 6208, must be made via agent at least 24 hours prior to arrival.

Immigration: All a vessel's passengers and/or crew members may only enter the national territory after their documents have been inspected by the federal police department, the revenue authorities and the port health authorities.

Free pratique: Vessels which are not proceeding from infected ports may be granted free pratique, by radio, which does not exempt the vessel owner or his agent from the delivery, to the port health authority, of the Advice of Arrival. A vessel with free pratique is permitted to proceed directly to berth. A vessel coming from an infected port which has obtained free pratique at a Brazilian port, is exempted from further inspection for mosquitoes at other Brazilian ports of call, unless it has called en route to another infected port. The free pratique does not exempt the vessel from being visited by the port health authority when the latter considers this to be necessary, but such visits will always be carried out subsequent to berthing without jeopardising vessel operations. When there is a sick passenger or crew member to be landed, the vessel must fly Interco flag "Q". For granting free pratique the following documentation is required: ..... 1. Vessel details: a.
