There is equipment available for cargo handling with up to 100t capacity. Transportation links by road and rail are available both within the country and transhipments between Bolivia, Argentina and Peru by road, also by rail to Brazil. Cargo loaded: Bulk minerals, metals and oil from Bolivia, fishmeal, olives and other cargoes from Chile. Discharged cargo: Grains, fertilisers, flour, machinery and other goods.

Arica is Chile's most N'ly port, lying on the S side of Rada de Arica.

Harbour: LOA 328.46m, beam 48.2m, draught 12.50m, 128,688DWT. Offshore: LOA 186.07m, BCM 32.25m, draught 16.10m, 51,408DWT.

Approx. 3,000,000t of cargo and 170,000TEUs handled annually.

Six designated anchorage areas are located outside the breakwaters with their centre positions as follows: Area A - 18° 28.240'S 70° 30.360'W. Area B - 18° 28.570'S 70° 20.540'W. Area C - 18° 29.300'S 70° 21.090'W. Area D - 18° 29.000'S 70° 21.300'W. Area E - 18° 27.010'S 70° 20.210'W. Area F - 18° 26.460'S 70° 20.580'W. The quarantine anchorage is situated 1nm x 345° from Mole de Abrigo Light where vessel carrying explosives anchor. Vessels using the above anchorages should note the area in which anchoring and fishing is prohibited, due to a sewer extending 1.25nm WNW from a position 1.75nm NE of Molo de Abrigo Light.

The harbour should be entered from W of Peninsula Alacran, following TSS, noting Bajo Condell, consisting of sand and stones.

At the two CBM moorings there are three stern buoys fitted with open hooks. Use of wire ropes is forbidden.

Pilotage is compulsory. Pilot boarding ground is located about 0.69nm NNW of the head of Muelle de Abrigo. Pilotage is available from "Armada Nacional." Vessels over LOA 220m will require two pilots. Pilots can be contacted on VHF Ch08.

The port limits are from Isla Alacran Light, 18°29'S 070°23'W, 336° for 1.5nm, then, 060° for 1nm then, 156° to the coast.

Molo de Abrigo Light, (grey round, concrete tower, 12m in height), 18° 28.113'S 70° 19.658'W. Muelle Notre Light (green GRP tower, 4m in height), head of Muelle Norte.

Mooring is by daylight only for tankers berthing on CBM's but unmooring is possible at any time. Only 1 vessel permitted to manoeuvre at a time inside the TPA basin and between TPA basin, Enapu and Sica-Sica.

Range 1.4m. Due to prevailing SW winds there is a continuous NE going current of 1 to 2 kts in the roads.

A TSS has been established in the approach to Arica. All vessels are required to participate. The scheme is IMO adopted and Rule 10 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea applies. From a position W of Peninsula Alacran the track leads through the ENE bound lane of the TSS for about 6 miles then NE for about 1.2 miles to the pilot boarding area. There is also an AIS station. A listening watch should be maintained at all times on VHF Ch 16. When entering the Arica VTS Area of Responsibility, vessels must provide the following information: ..... (a) Vessel's name (b) Vessel's callsign. (c) ETA at the Pilot Station. When departing from the port limits, vessels must provide the following information to Arica Radio: ..... (a) Vessel's name. (b) Time of departure. (c) Port of destination. (d) ETA. All vessels transiting the VTS area should participate in the VTS. When in the Bay and port area, all vessels should check that their AIS equipment is working. Any problems should be reported to VTS office.

Four tugs are available via agents Ultramar. The use of at least one tug for berthing is compulsory. For vessels over LOA 140m berthing at COMAP, 2 tugs are required.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly. The prevailing W swell causes problems which may close the port at times in June to August. Tankers must disconnect cargo hoses at the tanker berths on these occasions and berthing may be affected. Fog is most frequent between May and September.
