The approach to the port is through a series of channels with leading lines, named sections A, B, C and D. Section A: From Ponta Munduba parallel to Ponta da Praia, 4.85nm in length and min width 150m, dredged to 14.8m. Section B: From Barnabe Island Terminal to Marine Terminal of Santos (Piacaguera Channel) 2nm in length, min width 100m, dredged to depth of 14.8m. Section C: In front of Marine Terminal of Santos to the N of Section B, dredged to a depth of 13.3m. Section D: From the Marine Terminal of Santos to Cisipa Terminal (Piacaguera Channel) 2.4nm in length, min width 100m, dredged to a depth of 12.2m. Current draught restrictions in this channel are 9.16m LW and 10.26m HW (basis 1.1m or more tide). Current information on Recommended Maximum Draught levels can be obtained from the Port Authority. The latest recommended draught level is 13.2m for the approach channel and main channel going up through the port (14.0m draught at Embraport and 15.0m at Tecon Santos Container Terminal), with a draught of 12.7m from Terminal Alamoa area, upwards. Caution: The harbour and entrance channel are subject to silting and continual dredging is required; depths considerably less than those given above may be found at times, especially in areas N and W of Limoes Point, SE of Praia Point and in Conceicaozinha, Alamoa and Piacaguera turning basins. Deep draught vessels should consult the harbour master before fixing a cargo.

The mooring and pulling off manoeuvres of vessels at the Alemoa Pier must be preferably accomplished during the tide rising or at slack water. Mooring Procedures: ..... 1. A crane or derrick rated at a minimum of 5t must be ready to aid in connecting hoses to the vessel's manifold. 2. Windlasses, cranks, bridles and controllers must be in perfect operating order. 3. Towing wires, messenger-lines, guiding ropes and conveying-lines are to be ready on bow and stern. 4. All mooring equipment used at the terminal has to conform to OCIMF guidelines. All mooring and berthing works are performed and controlled by the traffic section. The following procedures have been enforced by the pilot to the master of the vessel. ..... 1. The use of at least 2 bow lines and 3 stern lines, with any size vessel. 2. The terminal requires ships to employ mooring lines of same kind and same elasticity. 3. Whenever it is possible, to use springs. 4. Constant watch on the mooring lines during all transfer operations, never letting them slack, aiming to avoid any motion of the berthed vessel when other vessels are passing by in the Piacaguera Channel.

When entering the Santos Fairway area or Santos Port inner area, pilotage is compulsory for all foreign vessels, all Brazilian vessels over 2,000DWT and all vessels carrying dangerous cargo. Pilotage should also be used for shifting berth or for changing anchorage position at the inner anchorage area. On arrival in the outer roads, or when changing position, vessels must contact Santos Pilot Station service control on VHF Chs 11 or 16 and advise their position and time of anchoring. The pilot must be requested from the Associacao de Practagem de Santos at least 2 hours prior to arrival, by telephone, VHF or any other communication process, sending message to PPS Coastal Station in Santos, stating time of Pilot's embarkation. The Pilots Association maintains permanent watch on VHF Ch 16. Pilot boards in the following positions: ..... 24°00.52'S 46°20.15'W 0.6nm West of Ilha des Palmas Deep draught vessels 0.9nm W of Ponta Grossa or as instructed by the Pilot Station.

The seaward limit of the port of Santos is the latitude of 24°02.07'S.

Ilha da Moela Light (white round masonary tower, height 10m) (24°03.0'S 046° 16.0'W). Three pairs of leading lights indicate the approach and entrance to the harbour. The first set of lights in line bearing 021.5° lead into the entrance to the dredged channel to a position close S of No 2 Lightbuoy (port hand) (0.8nm SSW). The second set of lights in line bearing 057°, indicate the middle leg of the entrance channel and lead to a position about 0.7nm SW of the front leading light. The third set of lights in line bearing 094° indicate the final leg of the entrance channel which passes through the harbour entrance.

An overhead cable (23°57.2'S 046°18.5'W) crosses the channel, with a vertical clearance of 81m. It is suspended between two pylons (red obstruction lights) 84m in height. Vessels with a draught of 11m or more should only use the channel at HW. The maximum speed permitted in the channel is 8kts and within the harbour limits 6kts. Marine Terminal of Santos: Up to draught 10.97m, no channel restrictions; draught from 10.97m to 11.28m tidal restrictions. Vessels over LOA 200m with departure draught The following restrictions apply: ..... 1. Only one vessel at a time can navigate in the Piacaguera Channel 2. In the section Saboo/Cosipa, vessels with draught greater than 10.3m must be assisted by 3 tugs, 1 going in front of the ship when entering the Piacaguera Fairway, in order to head off other vessels operating in Alemao, if necessary. 3. Vessels are restricted to mooring when other vessels are sailing in the Piacaguera Canal, mostly at the Pier 1. 4. Night navigation in the Piacaguera Channel for vessels of LOA greater than 228m must be previously submitted to the pilot association. 5. Night navigation in the Piacaguera Channel for vessels of draught greater than 10.3m must be previously submitted to the pilot association. 6. Night manoeuvring in Alemoa is limited to LOA 200m for tankers. 7. Berthing and unberthing manoeuvres at the Alemoa Pier during springs must be done with half flood or at slack water. Interruption of Discharge: Operations may be temporarily halted during heavy squalls, lightning storms, or strong gales (from 47-54kts). This may halt operations at the discretion of the terminal. Turning Basin and Channel: Max 14.2m on HT of 1.0m.

Mean spring range 1.3m; mean neap range 0.3m. Tidal streams are strong, especially the outgoing stream, the rate of which sometimes exceeds 3kts. The height of tide is increased by SW winds and decreased by N winds.

A mandatory reporting system is in operation for vessels of 20GT and over. Vessels must report as follows (Call "PWS 88", VHF Ch 16): ..... a. On anchoring b. On leaving anchorage c. Abreast of Palmas Island (inbound) d. Immediately before leaving berth Reporting must include the following information: ..... a. Vessel's name b. Callsign c. Flag d.

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. Berths at the Alemoa Tanker Terminal belonging to Vopak do not provide any radio communication before berthing. Any information needed from the terminal will need to be addressed by e-mail or telephone. At first contact, Vopak will send vessel's Agency their "Port Information Booklet."

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 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. Vessels 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 the maintenance and other expenses until repatriation. In the event of non existence of a compulsory deposit as 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, works alongside the old paper system. Several ports are now using PSP, including Santos. It is planned to introduce this system to 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 varying in the number of copies required and the nature, depending on the type of vessel and the peculiarities of the port, should be ascertained by the master, through the agent, prior to the vessel's arrival: .....

All vessels, while in Brazilian ports, must fly the Brazilian national flag from 0800hrs to sunset.

Alemoa Terminal: The terminal may refuse to moor any vessel deemed unsuitable or which does not meet safety or mooring conditions or which in any way may endanger port assets, including personnel, equipment and the environment. All vessels fitted with an Inert Gas System (IGS) shall ensure that the oxygen content of all cargo tanks (including those containing clean or dirty water ballast) has been reduced to 8% or less by volume prior to discharge, loading, ballasting, or deballasting.Degassing or Inerting: No degassing of tanks or inerting may be performed while a vessel is berthed at the petroleum pier. Dangerous cargo: explosives, inflammables or noxious substances. Brazil has adopted the recommendations of the International Convention on Safety of life at Sea , 1960 and IMO Classifications and regulations for the inspection, control and transport of dangerous cargoes are in general applied. Below are some of the general rules for vessels with dangerous cargoes as applied at Santos and Rio de Janeiro, that will serve as a guide to other Brazilian ports. The maximum tonnage of any IMO Class of goods permitted to be handled at an ordinary general cargo berth is as follow: ..... Type IMO Class Quantity (t) Explosives Class 1.1 1 Class 1.2 and 1.3 10 Class 1.4 and 1.5 50 Inflammables Class 3.1 flash point below 18°C 10 Class 3.2 flash point 18°C below 23°C 25 Class 3.3 1 flash point 23°C below 61°C 100 Class 3.3 2 flash point 61°C below 70°C 200 Class 2 LPG in bottles 10 When the above mentioned dangerous goods are placed in containers, twice the maximum permissible tonnage may be loaded. The maximum total tonnage of dangerous goods allowed onboard at an ordinary berth is 250 tonnes, even when in containers. The following explosives are strictly forbidden: Azides, diethylenglycol dinitrate, fulminate and nitro-glycerine. Dangerous IMO goods permitted with no restrictions on berth or quantity: ..... Class 4 Solid inflammables Class 5 Oxidants and peroxides Class 6 Poisons and infectious substances Class 8 Corrosives. Note: It is recommended that agents be consulted when contemplating loading explosives or inflammables whether for discharge or in transit so they may confirm current port regulations. Vessels carrying dangerous cargoes of any class are required to compulsorily provide the following: ..... 1. Document of compliance to load/discharge dangerous cargo , based on regulations 53 and 54 of chapter II - 2 of SOLAS Convention 2. Manifest or special list, based on rule 5(5) of chapter VII of SOLAS convention and rule 4(3) annex III of MARPOL convention 73/78. Such document could be replaced by detailed stowage plan. 3. Certificate or Declaration of dangerous cargo to be loaded, based on rule 5(2) of chapter VII of SOLAS convention and rule 4(2) of annex III of MARPOL 73/79 4. Notification to Port Captaincy 24 hours before any discharge / load of dangerous cargo. 5. Immediately the above regulations are not being followed, a vessels command will be subjected to Port State Control inspection.

There is a possibility of the transmission by mosquito carriers of yellow fever and certain types of malaria non-existent in Brazil. Vessels having Santos as the first Brazilian port of call, and having called during the voyage at the ports mentioned below, will be contacted prior to entering the Santos Estuary, in order that an inspection may be carried out at an opportune moment to eliminate such mosquito carriers if they should be found onboard. The characteristics of the port area of Santos (in the interior of an estuary reached through a narrow channel, where mosquitoes may easily reach land on either side) makes such inspection necessary before the entrance of vessels. An official detailed to carry out this job will therefore accompany the pilot when he boards the vessel at the bar. Vessels arriving from such ports will no longer be granted free pratique requested by radio. This will be given on the occasion of the regular Sanitary Visit against presentation by the Captain of the document supplied by the official proving that the inspection was carried out. Non-compliance with these regulations will be considered as infraction of the law and subject to legal penalties. Vessels arriving from the following ports will be subject to the above-mentioned inspection at the bar: 1. Ports of Mexico and the United States situated in the Gulf of Mexico. 2. Ports of the Antilles. 3. Ports of Central America. 4. Ports of Colombia, Venezuela, and the Guianas. 5. Ports of intertropical Africa. Free pratique: Vessels which are not proceeding from infected ports may be granted free pratique, by radio which does not exempt the ship 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. Name, class and flag. b. Name of port and country (or Brazilian state) where voyage started and date of departure. c. Port(s) of call, country(ies) (or Brazilian state(s)) with respective dates. Mention the last 5 ports. 2. Sanitary conditions onboard: a. The occurrence of a death onboard. b. The occurrence of any sickness. c. The occurrence of any sickness with one of the following symptoms: Fever (temperature over 37.5°C) during a period in excess of 48 hours accompanied by skin eruption, jaundice, or ganglia inflammation; acute moderate to serious diarrhoea. d. The occurrence of great morality of rodents. e. The occurrence of medicine consumption during the voyage, indicate the name and quantity supplied per person. f. Amount of fresh water available onboard. Indicate where the last supply of fresh water took place. g. In case of a vessel in ballast, advise where the ballast water intake took place and the quantity. 3. Operational conditions of the systems of ejection and used water: a. Is there a possibility that faecal objects which had not been treated could be expelled in to the waters of the port. b. Description of drainage system and sanitary treatment. c. The cubic capacity of the ejecting/used water tank and its capacity in number of days of retention. d. The stock of disinfectant material, if this is the case. A Letter of Guarantee to comply with the following: 1. Confirmation of exact time of arrival of the vessel, one hour ahead of arrival. 2. Definition of vessel berthing position. 3. Deballasting of ejection/used water tank 12nm from the coast and its immediate sealing. 4. Not to jettison waste collected onboard during the vessel's stay in port. 5. Absence of infestation by vermin (mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats) in vessel compartments. 6. Absence of cargo accidents with risk to public health and the environment. To present, on berthing, the following documents: 1. Maritime Health Declaration 2. Crew List 3. Passenger List 4. List of psychotropic and other drugs 5. List of cargo to be discharged and loaded 6. List of yellow fever International Vaccination Certificates of crew members and passengers. 7. Ship Sanitation Control Certificate 8. Free pratique document issued by sanitary authority in another Brazilian port.

Notice of readiness to Petrobras must be issued from the anchorage zone appointed by the pilot, when anchored and ready for cargo operations. The acceptance for operations is done on berth by inspection based upon the ISGOTT check list (from International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers & Terminals). Vopak, Alemoa Tanker Terminal - The terminal will accept NOR when the last mooring cable has been passed on shore, the gangway safely installed and access granted to terminal staff. If the ship fails the safety inspection, the time accepted for NOR purposes will be the time when the ship solves the listed items.
