Entry is via a channel 4.4km in length, 285m in width dredged to 25.3m and marked with four pairs of lightbuoys. The max draught in the channel is 23.3m. There is a 100m wide exclusion zone each side of the access channel to protect vessels navigating in the channel from other small and large craft impeding their transit. The turning basin lies at the head of the dredged channel, to the W of the breakwater with a radius of 300m and depth of 15.5m plus tide. There is an area dredged to 16m at the western side which is used only for arriving vessels manoeuvres.
