Rimouski (CARIM)

The port is situated 2.4km from the town of Rimouski. The harbour is used to tranship softwood destined for local saw mills and for handling bulk salt and sand. There is a small amount of container traffic. It is also a departure point for general cargo for the Lower North Shore. There is year round navigation. Occasionally the assistance of icebreakers may be required. Berths 1 to 5 are operated by the Port of Rimouski for Quebec Port Terminals Inc. Many fishing boats use the inner spur wharf to land their catches and load supplies.

Rimouski is situated on the S bank of the St Lawrence River opposite Matane (on the N bank).

Draught 7.3m.

Anchorage can be taken in Rimouski Roads N of the piers. The best anchorage, is a depth of 8m, lies with Rimouski light, situated on the outer end of the East Pier, hearing 177°, distant 1 mile. To obtain better shelter from W winds, small vessels can anchor, in depths of less than 5m, with Rimouski Light baring 129°, distant 0.75 mile

A dredged channel, from the NW, with a depth of 5.2m, width 60m and length of 1,500m marked by flashing lights and buoys leads in from deep water to the wharves. The directions for entering Rimouski harbour are as follows: The initial position is 2.0nm W of Pointe au Pere Light. Leading lights: Stand near the shore, S of the berths. Front light (orange trapezium daymark, black stripe, on a square framework tower, 11m in height; Racon), 48°28'N 068°31'W. Rear light (similar daymark, inverted and tower, 18m in height), 731m S of the front light. The lights are visible on the leading line only. The alignment (178.5°) of these lights leads through Rade de Rimouski, then through the buoyed and dredged channel to the berths. Entering the harbour: Leading Lights stand near the shore, S of the berths. Front light (orange trapezium, black stripe on square framework tower 11m in height), Racon (48°28'N 068°31'W) Rear light (similar construction, inverted and tower, 18m in height) 701m from the front light. The lights are visible on the leading line only. From a position approx 1.8nm W of Pointe au Pere Light the alignment (178.5°) of these lights lead through Rade de Rimouski, then through the buoyed and dredged channel to the berths. The entrance channel has a least depth of 4.3m. Care should be exercised in the approach as these depths may be less than charted. Approach from the West: Round the NE end of the Ile Saint-Barnabe when the head of the NE jetty is in line with the inner end. At night it is advisable to bring the rear leading light E of the front light before shaping course for the dredged channel. Caution: Master should be aware that several red and white lights are shown during operations at Rimouski airport. These lights are visible from the river and should not be confused with navigational aids on the waterway.
