Vessels awaiting a Pilot or Customs, Health, Immigration and Police Officers, should anchor in the Quarantine Anchorage, 1.25nm NE of Ilha Fiscal (22°54'S 43°10'W). Vessels are not permitted to berth alongside until they have received these visits, and they must not remain this anchorage for more than three hours after the last official has left. Vessels intending to remain at anchor for long periods should use the anchorage, 0.15nm to 0.75nm NW of Ilha das Enxadas. There are also anchorages N of the bridge on each side of the channel. The Naval anchorage lies E of Santos Airport and NE of Ilha Fiscal. There is an explosives anchorage 5nm NNE of Ilha Fiscal anchorages for LASH vessels and their lighters lie 0.7nm ENE and 0.3nm W respectively of Ilha das Enxadas. There are 2 anchorages for tankers: Quarantine Anchorage: 22°52.75'S 043°08.54'W, min depth 13.3m. Waiting Anchorage: 22°48.48'S 043°08.30'W, min depth 13.7m.

The commercial harbour of Rio de Janeiro is located around the shoreline of a bay extending 2.0nm WNW from Ilha da Cobras (22°54'S 43°10'W). There is an extensive bank in the centre the bay and a channel has been dredged giving access to the quays which line the shores of the bay. Another channel has been dredged across the mouth of the bay giving access to the container terminal at the NW entrance point of the bay. The approach channel to the port has a least width of 200m and a total length of 18.5km, with depths of 20-37m. Due to the channel buoys being unlit the max draught permitted is 11.5m. The turning basin has diameter of 1,150m with depths of 10.0m to 37m. Channels leading to the various port facilities have the following depths: .....

Contraband: Brazilian laws are very strict with respect to smuggling and Masters are requested to instruct their crews not to take more than 2 packets of cigarettes and other articles ashore. Cigarettes in cartons, tobacco, alcoholic beverages, narcotics, souvenirs, explosives, firearms, etc should be collected prior to arrival in port and listed with the items in the Crew's Personal Effects List and placed in the custody of the Master. Immigration: All passengers and/or crew members may enter the national territory only after their documents have been inspected by the Federal Police Department, the Revenue Authorities and the Port Health Authorities. Vessel owners are responsible for the disembarkation and the embarkation of transit passengers as well as crew members who fail to join a vessel before it sails. Such responsibility includes maintenance and other expenses until repatriation. In the event of non existence of a compulsory deposit as a guarantee to cover such expenses, owners will sign, at the Federal Police Department, a form of responsibility inherent to such obligations as therein expressed.

Port without paper programme: The Brazilian Federal Ports Bureau's Porto Sem Papel - PSP (Port Without Paper) programme was implemented at Santos Port in 2011. Initially, this will work alongside the old paper system. Several ports are now using PSP, including Rio de Janeiro. It is planned to introduce this system at all 34 public ports of Brazil. See Country Section for additional information. The following documents must be ready for visiting authorities on arrival at Brazilian ports. Such documents will vary in the number of copies required depending on the type of vessel and the peculiarities of the port.
