Iquique (CLIQQ)

The artificial port of Iquique is comprised of a connecting breakwater, 480m in length, that links Serrano Island with the mainland. A main breakwater, 846m in length, lies N-S in a 028° direction. The port comprises numerous berths and 2 offshore oil terminals. Berth No. 01 is administered by Empresa Portuaria Iquique under multi-operator modality and Berth Nos. 3 and 4 are leased under a mono operator modality at Iquique's International Terminal. Iquique mainly handles containers; principle imports being machinery, iron, oil, explosives, paper, sacks and general cargo. Other cargoes handled include copper concentrates, slag or ores, vegetable and soya oils and petroleum products. It is also a fishing port, with local factories producing fish meal, frozen and canned fish.

Tropical.

The port of Iquique lies at the S end of the bay, between Peninsula Serrano and Punta Negra (1.5nm NE).

Harbour: LOA 347m, draught 11.4m,beam 51.0m, 142,411DWT. Offshore: LOA 195.22m, draught 11.34m, 53,714DWT.

Approx 2,450,000t of cargo, 280,000TEU and 450 vessels handled annually.

Anchorage may be obtained NW of Peninsula Serrano. These consist of a general area plus designated quarantine and explosives anchorage. Anchorage for fishing vessels is established to the S and E of Roca Patilliguaje. Prohibited Anchorage: An area at the E end of the NW-bound traffic lane of the TSS and an area seaward of and surrounding Muelle Naval. Esmeralda Light Buoy (20°11.00'S 70°09.00'W), marking a wreck, lies in the E part of the area.

The port is approached through a Traffic Separation Scheme, and entered between the W extremity of Peninsula Serrano (20°12.5'S 070°09.5'W), and Punta Piedra 3.0nm N. From the E end of the inward traffic lane, 20°11.6'S 070°10.0'W, the route leads ENE to the pilot boarding place. It should be noted that the 12.7m patch situated 0.6nm WNW of Molo de Abrigo Light, lies on the centre of the inward traffic lane.

BA 4218, 3076. Chilean 104, IQQ 1211. Admiralty Pilot NP7, NP286(7).

Search and Rescue area covered by the port is between 18°21.0'S and 26°03.3'S to 120°00.0'W.

Two offshore CBM oil terminals are situated off Playa del Colorado beach (20° 12.00'S 70°08.00'W). Owing to the close proximity of these berths, only one vessel can be handled at a time: Copec Terminal, LOA 229m, maximum draught 11.34m. Esso Terminal, with mooring buoys, LOA 228m, maximum draught 10.65m. Submarine pipelines extend ESE to the shore. Berthing procedures by tankers must be carried out in daylight hours only. Vessels are permitted to leave at any time.

Pilotage is compulsory for vessels entering the port, anchoring within port limits, or when docking at the oil terminals and is available throughout 24 hours. Vessels should send ETA and request for pilotage 72, 48, 24 and 6 hours in advance. Pilot boards in position at: 20°11.51'S 70°09.45'W (in the pilotage area, 0.5nm N of Molo de Abrigo).

N from shore (20°12.30'S 70°09.60'W) to 20°11.40'S 70°09.60'W, E to shore (20° 11.40'S 70°08.30'W).

Peninsula Serrano Lighthouse (20°12.4'S 070°09.6'W). Molo de Abrigo Lighthouse, (red triangle on prominent white conical tower 13m in height), 20°12.0'S 070°09.4'W.

With prior authority from the maritime governor, explosives are unloaded at the berths and removed immediately under special security conditions. Berthing at the tanker terminal is carried out in daylight hours only. Extreme vigilance is advised in the approach to Iquique, due to the constant fishing vessel traffic.

Mean spring range 0.9m; mean neap range 0.5m. The normal direction of flow is from South to North, and runs at a speed that fluctuates between 0.5kt and 3.0kts, following the contours of the coast.

All vessels approaching the Iquique, entering or leaving the Bay, and /or anchoring within port limits, are required to use the VTS while maintaining a continuing Listening Watch on VHF Ch 16. All transiting vessels within the Bay must also participate in the VTS. All vessels must ensure that their AIS equipment is operational.

Two tugs are required for mooring and unmooring except for vessels less than LOA 100m when one tug is sufficient. ..... All tugs have fire fighting capacity. Tug HP Bollard pull Ram Choshuenco 2,840 41.0t Ram Tupahue 2,800 41.2t Ram Gaviota 2,800 48.0t Ram Pelicano 2,000 30.0t Ram Aguila 1,200 14.8t

Prevailing winds: SSW'ly to SSE'ly. The predominant winds are from the SW with an average speed of 10kts. Low fog can be experienced, usually December-March. Storms from the S generate swells for 3 or 4 days later. When a swell is running Berths No 3 and 4 are untenable.
