The channel between the mainland and Sao Sebastiao Island is 12.3nm in length. Special attention should be paid by vessels drawing over 18m as there are several depths of 20m and less in the proximity of the limits of the channel. Draughts in the access channel: The South bar channel allows vessels to enter and depart drawing up to 23m. North bar channel allows vessels to enter and depart drawing up to 10m. South entrance: The safest way to approach Sao Sebastiao: Ponta da Sela Lighthouse at the SW end of Sao Sebastiao Island signals the South bar. The exhibited light is white and the tower is painted white with a red stripe. Lage dos Moleques is a levelling rock near the NW channel edge, a green painted quadrilateral masonry tower, showing a green flashing light, marks the rock. Farolete da Pontinha, located on the SE channel edge, displays a fixed red light over a white metal quadrangular structure. The S part of the channel is 300m wide in its narrowest part and is dredged to 25m. It is marked by 4 beacons: Beacons No 1 and 3 are red and are on the SE side. Beacons No 2 and 4 are green and are on the NW side. North entrance: Ponta das Canoas Lighthouse is situated on the N end of Sao Sebastiao Island and marks the North bar. The lighthouse shows a white light and is white with a red stripe. Farolete Sao Sebastiao Lighthouse is located on the western side of the channel. It exhibits a red light and the quadrangular masonry structure is red.

Ships between 80,000 and 130,000DWT: As far as ship mooring arrangements are available, ships must close as the mooring lay-out for ships above 130,000DWT. The following will be considered satisfactory: ..... 3 breast lines Wire hawsers forward and aft 2 spring lines Wire hawsers forward and aft 4 head/stern lines Nylon hawsers forward and aft Total hawsers Wire, 10; nylon 8. Ships less than 80,000DWT: .....
