Lunenburg (CALUN)

This port handles small fishing and sailing vessels. Seafood cargo services are also operated by this port. The town of Lunenburg lies along the N shore of the harbour and is an important fishing centre, providing good shelter. The harbour is open throughout the year.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Area. For ships over 100m in length, Winter Dec 16 to Feb 15, Summer Feb 16 to Dec 15. For ships of 100m or less in length, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Lunenburg is located NW of Battery Point at the NW head of Lunenburg Bay, S coast of Nova Scotia.

There is anchorage with good shelter in 4.0-5.2m, as convenient, in Lunenburg Harbour. A good berth in 5.2m lies 0.25nm N of Head Rock. Anchorage is forbidden within the limits of the harbour, in such positions that would permit vessels to swing closer than 150m to any pier except when manoeuvring alongside a pier or when permitted to do so by the Harbour Master.

The entrance channel is dredged to a depth of 5.8m. From the harbour entrance the dredged channel leads to a public pier (0.9nm NNW of Battery Point), situated near the end of the Lunenburg waterfront which extends for approx 0.65nm along the N shore of the harbour. A dredged channel then continues W affording access to various port installations including a number of piers which project from the waterfront into the harbour and shipyards. On the E side of the head of the entrance channel a dredged area gives access to more piers and shipyards. Close within the seaward end and on the E side of the entrance channel a dredged area leads to another public pier and to a large fish processing plant, (0.3nm N of Battery Point) with 2 piers, operated by High Liner Foods Inc. The W side of the harbour consists of a shallow bay. Caution: If navigating in the W part of the harbour outside the limits of the dredged channels care is necessary to avoid a 3.4m shoal, (approx 0.5nm W of a conspicuous water tower), marked close E by "EE" Buoy, (preferred channel to starboard).

Prevailing winds: SW'ly (summer), N'ly (winter). Halifax is an all weather port, free of ice in the winter season. Fog is common in the late spring and summer, so, although the leading lights are conspicuous and sensitive, they may not be seen in conditions of low visibility because of the distance. Consideration should be given to making an early afternoon arrival/departure and taking local advice to minimise this risk.
