Madre de Deus (BRMDD)

The piers at the terminal allow five vessels to berth simultaneously. All berths are illuminated with beacons and are rated as main and secondary. The main berths are identified by the letters PP, followed by numbers. The secondary berths are identified by the letters PS, and are also followed by numbers. The port handles crude, CPP, aviation fuel, DPP and LPG.

Tropical zone.

The port is located on the Todos os Santos Bay on the island of the same name, approx. 13.46nm from the anchorage area, to the SE of Banco de Panela in the Port of Salvador.

LOA 280m, beam 50m, draught 14.0m, 165,000DWT.

Approx. 16,600,000t of cargo and 500 vessels handled annually.

Vessels carrying fuel must anchor in the area delimited by a circle centred at position 12° 57.100'S 38° 33.500'W, with a radius of 0.2nm, depths ranging from 16.0 - 46.0m, sandy and shelly seabed, not sheltered against winds and swells proceeding from the S. Vessels proceeding from other countries will be visited by maritime authorities whilst anchored in the area delimited above. Occasionally, where the ETA matches the pilot's working hours, the visit may occur at the terminal.

Approach and entry: The terminal is approached from SE through a marked channel, 6nm long with a minimum width of 500m and controlling depth of 14.5m in the dredged portion of the channel.

Brazilian Charts 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106, 1107, 1108, 1110. BA 545, 540. Admiralty Pilot NP5, NP286(7).

Pilotage is compulsory for vessels heading to the terminal from the anchorage area in Salvador. Pilot services at the Todos os Santos Bay are on call 24hrs a day. Request for a pilot must be made by the vessel's Agent at least 3hrs prior to leaving the anchorage, and 4hrs before berthing/unberthing at the terminal commences. Contact must be made on VHF Ch16, telephone (55 71) 3241-8984, 3327-1786 or fax (55 71) 3241-6058, 3242-5901. Pilot will board in the specific anchorage area or other locations previously agreed between both parties. Pilots generally board in the anchorage position at 12° 58.100'S 38° 32.220'W. Usually the pilot disembarks at the same point where he embarked when berthing. There will be a pilotage boat from the port awaiting him.

The port is limited at the N by the Maria Guarda Island, at S by Frade Island, at E by Mare Island and at W by the Vacas Island.

Restricted area, situated about 0.2nm on each side of a submarine pipeline, which is laid from Ponta Mirim to Ilha das Vacas,. Anchoring and fishing are prohibited 1nm W.

Mean spring range 2.6m, mean neap range 1.2m.

The ports of Salvador and Madre de Deus do not provide special traffic and navigation control services. Maritime traffic in the ports at Todos os Santos Bay is managed by the Harbour Master of Salvador.

The terminal has two tugs of its own that assist the berthing, unberthing and towing operations. The use of tugs is mandatory. When more than two tugs are required, the vessel's Agent must formally designate them to the Terminal Supervisor. Tugs are equipped with VHF radio for ongoing communication with vessels during berthing/unberthing procedures. Watch is kept 24hrs a day on Ch16. In case of radio communication failure between tugs and vessels, standardised whistle signs must be used.

Winds - Prevailing winds are E'ly during January, February, March, May, September, November and December, and ESE'ly during April, June, July, August and October. S'ly winds blow during new and full moon periods, rippling bay waters. Occasionally in August and September, winds blow at speeds over 2.4m/sec.
