Prince Rupert (CAPRR)

Prince Rupert is the second largest port on the W coast of Canada and includes the Ridley Island terminals. The port area is a large, deep, natural harbour with a min depth in the approach channel of 38m, has easy access and is well lit with year round ice free navigation. Prince Rupert is the ocean terminus of the trans continental rail and highway systems. It is the pivotal point for BC and Alaskan Ferries and is the regional focus of fishing, forestry, mining and pulp manufacturing. Exports handled are aluminium ingots, waste paper, scrap steel, chilled fish and poultry, forest products, coal and grain, imports handled are general cargo, containers and oil. The port is soon to have its own marine fuel delivery service, serving larger vessels, operated by Wolverine Terminals. This will mean that larger vessels berthing alongside, or anchoring in the harbour area, will no longer have to bunker at alternative West Coast ports. Several major projects for development of industrial and energy-related port facilities in the area have recently been put on hold, or cancelled altogether, mainly as a result of uncertainty caused by an ever changing situation in global energy and economic developments. However, the Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal is currently being constructed and the planned Pembina LPG Terminal, Watson Island, is still on course for development. There has also been an additional boost with an encouraging increase in cruise liner traffic and passenger visits.

Summer.

Prince Rupert is situated at the N end of the Hecate Strait with Queen Charlotte Island to the W.

LOA 400m, beam 51.2m, draught 20.0m, 250,000DWT.

Approx 23,000,000t of cargo, 740,000TEU, 1,000 vessels and 79,000 passengers handled annually.

The most usual approach is made by way of Brown Passage (54°19'N 130°53'W), then across Chatham Sound using either the N or S Route, the two designated deep water routes. The port should be entered from the S between Digby Island and Kaien Island. The inner harbour entrance is 457m wide, with a least depth at the harbour entrance is 35m.

All vessels requiring a berth at Port Authority berths, should apply for allocation. Lineboats are required at berths located on Ridley Island and at the Westview Terminal. Linesmen are available at all berths through the Agent or Terminal. Vessels may warp without a Pilot provided conditions permit. Main engines should be on standby and ready for immediate use. VHF Ch 71 should be monitored throughout the warp. MCTS should be notified at commencement or completion. Vessels berthing in Prince Rupert Harbour shall always maintain a water column of at least 10% of their draught under the vessel at all states of the tide. No vessel may load on a falling tide beyond a draught equal to 91% of the available water column at the lowest daily tide.

Pilotage is compulsory for every vessel over 350GT and every pleasure craft over 500GT. The Master, Owner or Agent of a vessel - that is to arrive in a compulsory pilotage area - should notify the Pacific Pilotage Authority of the ETA, UTC and local time, at least 48hrs prior to arrival and shall confirm or amend ETA, 10hrs prior to arrival. Pilot Boarding Station is located off Triple Island - 54°19.00'N 130°53.10'W - approx. 22nm from the port. Vessels should prepare a Pilot Ladder on both sides of the vessel (unless otherwise directed) and lower it to one metre above the waterline. A line should also be made available to hoist up the Pilot's bag prior to the Pilot embarking. No vessel may reposition itself within the harbour area, without having a Pilot onboard. There are two pilot boats. either "Pacific Pathfinder", (LOA22m, yellow hull, white wheel house and yellow mast stand) or "Pacific Pilot IV" (LOA20m, yellow hull with white wheel house). Pilot Helicopter: May be used by Pacific Pilotage Authority and requested by Agents. For information on helicopter use, please refer to information on www.ppa.gc.ca Fairview Channel: Normally one deep sea vessel should transit at a time. Timings to be co-ordinated with the Pilot and vessels advised by Prince Rupert Traffic on VHF Ch 71. Porpoise Channel: Transiting in daylight only at slack water. Only one vessel to be underway between Agnew Bank Buoy at any one time. Vessels should be ready to sail one hour before slack water with timing at Pilot's discretion. Whale sightings should be reported to Marine Communication and Traffic Services so that vessels can be advised if a whale, or group of whales, is known to be present in a shipping route.

The harbour limits comprise all waters of Prince Rupert Harbour, Tuck Inlet, Morse Basin, Wainwright Basin, Porpoise Harbour, Venn Passage and the E part of Metlakatla Bay. The limits also extend S to include the Kinahan Islands, Greentop Islet and Holland Rock.

Under Keel Clearance: UKC should not be less than 10% of max draught unless by prior permission of the Harbour Master. Vessels carrying explosives shall not enter or depart the harbour, or move within it, except with the permission of the Prince Rupert Port Corporation. Within Prince Rupert Harbour, vessels should proceed at safe speed, minimising wake, when passing within a minimum of 91m of the shore between Fairview Terminal and Ritchie Point. Additional reduction is required to ensure no wake when passing docks and floats, particularly at Digby Island Floats in Venn Passage and within Porpoise Harbour. Bunkering: Except at a certified fuelling facility, no vessel over LOA 50m is to bunker or refuel within the harbour, unless with prior approval from the Harbour Authority and the Fuel Transfer Safety Checklist is completed. Bunkering is not permitted during cargo operations. Lightering of Cargo: Only to be conducted with prior authorisation from Port Authority. Ridley Terminal - During LPG loading, all operations will cease during adverse weather conditions (lightning/thunder storms, earthquakes or tsunami).

Tides are mixed, mainly semi diurnal as follows: ..... Mean tide Spring tide (m) (m) 4.9 7.7 6.1 7.5 1.2 -0.2

Vessel traffic services operate on VHF Ch 11 and 71. Vessels should establish communications with "Prince Rupert Vessel Traffic" on VHF Ch 11 when 50nm W of Queen Charlotte Islands. A new shore-based radar, monitored by MCTS VTS, provides extensive coverage from the Prince Rupert Harbour and approaches and past the Triple island Pilot station to the West.

All vessels require the use of tugs when arriving or departing berths at Prince Rupert Port. All vessels will also require the use of tugs while underway in Prince Rupert Harbour when it is appropriate for navigational safety or when ordered to by the Port Authority. Tugs are normally ordered through the ship's Agent or in an emergency by calling Prince Rupert Traffic on VHF Ch 71. SAAM SMIT Towage and Wainwright Marine Service Ltd. provide tugs in the Prince Rupert area. Minimum of two ship docking tugs for escort during transit to/from Porpoise Harbour. Tugs to be in escort from Buoy D30 to Porpoise Harbour Dock for inbound transit and from Porpoise Harbour Dock to Buoy D30 for outbound transit.

Prevailing winds: SE'ly. Prince Rupert is subject to violent gusts from the mountain slopes during SE gales, which are prevalent during the autumn and winter months. When these weather conditions are expected all necessary precautions to guard against dragging must be taken. Vessels at anchor must have engines on standby and a second anchor ready to let go in winds of 25kts or more. Remaining in ballast is recommended. The port is a totally ice free harbour all year round.

Prince Rupert is a port of entry and as such has Customs facilities. Canadian Boarder Services Agency (CBSA) require marine carriers to transmit vessel and cargo information electronically in advance of arrival at the first port in Canada. They have also introduced a system of selective boarding in Prince Rupert and vessel clearances are now generally carried out by ships agents. Customs Officers do however, make spot checks. Certain countries and territories now give biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) when applying for a visa. Depending on citizenship, individuals that plan to travel through Canada without stopping or those who are visiting for 48 hours or less may require a transit visa. A transit visa may not be required if travel is from the United States. Vessels lightering crew and passengers from anchorages are requested to give two hours notice to the Port Security Operations Centre. Lightering by life boat is permitted only at the Northland Cruise Ship Terminal, when crew are requested to remain with the lightering vessel.

Details of the latest Rules and Regulations for the operation of Prince Rupert Port can be found in the latest version of the Port Information Guide (www.rupertport.com). Vessels with explosives onboard shall not enter or leave the harbour, except with the permission of the Port Authority. Vessels at anchor must have their engines on standby and a second anchor ready to let go in winds of 25kts or more. Canadian Coast Guard may attend a vessel for port state control inspection. Furthermore, if a vessel is more than 10 years old and loading coal or bulk concentrates then they could attend for the bulk carrier inspection programme for structural deficiencies of cargo bulkheads and inspection of wing tanks. Discharge of dirty ballast is strictly forbidden. Owners must apply for an oil spill response agreement prior to vessel's arrival, through the agent. No vessel entering or leaving the harbour shall proceed, when between Charles Point and Ritchie Point at a speed exceeding 8kts. In the harbour vessels shall not exceed a speed of 4kts when passing vessels with scows (dump barges) alongside, vessels engaged in dredging, diving operations or log loading or any small craft moored at a float (pontoon) or wharf. The length of towing hawsers shall be decreased below 46m on entering harbour to the extent deemed necessary by the Towing Master. A white flag with a diagonal red stripe shall be displayed when log handling or similar operations occur alongside a vessel or wharf. Noise: Exhaust mufflers should be fitted to every vessel using internal combustion engines. No unnecessary use of whistles, sirens or foghorns should take place. Testing of sound alarms should be kept to a minimum and the PSOC informed before any testing. Shore Access: When two or more vessels are alongside eachother, and the outer vessel does not have a gangway of its own stretching to the shore, the outer vessel may have access to shore via the inner vessel. Rodent Guards: Every warp or line used to secure a vessel to shore, should have a suitable device to prevent the passage or rodents between berth and shoreline or vice versa. Watch Alongside: A watch should be kept and maintained at all times when in harbour. Lights: Vessels within port are required to display appropriate lights, and daytime shapes, according to latest Collision Regulations. Unmanned Air Vehicles/Drones: The use of UAVs is not permitted over land or waters within the port without prior permission from the Port Authority.
