It affords good anchorage in summer, with good holding ground of sand and mud. There is good anchorage N of the SBM with ample room for manoeuvring and can accommodate between 10-15 vessels at one time. S of the SBM good holding in summer but not in winter time, due to rocky bottom anchors will drag when N wind is over 25kts. Anchorage may be obtained in any part of the bay marked by 17 alphabetically listed areas on the chart, except the prohibited area as mentioned. Anchorage positions are as follows: Large tankers normally anchor approx 1nm N of the SBM. Approx 0.8nm ESE of Punta Liles in a depth of approx 23m, mud and sand. Roca Estrella and shoal ground lie approx 0.3nm SW of this position. Prohibited anchorage: A prohibited anchorage area encloses the SBM and it's associated pipeline, and the berths on the E side of the bay. Lightering: There is a special anchorage assigned for tanker vessels transferring ship to ship (STS). Rubber fenders are placed in advance alongside the loaded vessel, which normally is the base ship. The receiving vessel comes alongside starboard side of the base. To berth alongside must be done during daytime, unmooring anytime. A superintendent of lightering stays onboard during all operations.

Approach and entry: The port is approached through a Traffic Separation Scheme WNW of Punta Liles, and entered through Bahia Quintero, between Punta Liles and Punta Fraile. A passage, between Punta Horcon (32°42.5'S 071°30.6'W), and Farallones de Quintero 1.25 NW may be used by vessels of suitable draught. The main approach is via the Traffic Separation Scheme as follows: From a position W of Punta Liles (32°46'S 071°32'W), the track leads through the E bound traffic lane of the TSS, passing (with positions relative to Punta Liles): N of Bajo Las Malenas, 0.65nm WNW, then: N of Punta Liles. Then the track leads to the pilot boarding position about 1nm NE of Punta Liles, then to the required berth. Puerto Ventanas: For Berths No 1, 3 and 5 on the N side of the Jetty, there are 2 beacons on a bearing of 090° at a distance of 125m N of the axis of the dock. These provide assistance for berthing both day and night. For Berth No 2 on the South side of the Jetty, there are 2 beacons consisting of yellow circles with a black inner circle, located 160m S of the dock's axis.

GNL Quintero LNG Terminal Dock: To ensure the maximum safety and operational availability of the jetty, a satellite system called NDMO (Navigation Data Maritime Operation) has been installed. This system is the first of its kind in Latin America and uses latest generation technology to process satellite information and provide precise data for safe, efficient berthing operations by LNG ships coming alongside the jetty. In addition, GNL have a model for predicting sea and weather conditions, and a meteorological station that measures and records the real conditions on-line (sea temperature, wave height, wave period, currents, ambient temperature, wind speed and direction). General Information: Mooring and unmooring throughout 24 hours, restricted only in bad weather condition or fog. No wires only soft lines used. Buoy Terminals (CBM): Both bow anchors are used, 7/8 shackles plus two bow (swamp) wires picked up from seabed. Stern is secured with three stern buoys, two placed in each quarter, the third on centre line. Three soft standard length lines to each buoy. Single Buoy Mooring (SBM): Mooring must be done during daytime only. Puerto Ventanas: When mooring, the following minimum recommendations should be observed: Berth No 1: The final mooring must consist of 4 long headlines, 2 forward springs, 4 long stern lines, 2 aft springs and 1 long line to the mooring buoy. The starboard anchor should have 7.5 to 8 shackles in the water. Berth No 3: The final mooring to the berth must consist of 4 long headlines and 2 forward springs, 4 long stern lines and 2 aft springs. The starboard anchor should have 6.5 to 7 shackles in the water. Berth No 5: The final mooring must consist of 4 long head lines, 2 forward springs, 4 long stern lines and 2 aft springs. The starboard anchor should have 7.5 to 8 shackles in the water. At this berth, bulk carriers may have to make some manoeuvres to place holds under the fixed type cranes when unloading. Cargo handling plan should be arranged to keep the number of vessel moves to a minimum. The ship will be initially positioned to enable 3 hatches to be worked from each of the 2 cranes. Oxiquim/Gasmar: Jetty is orientated in EW direction. At W end, in open sea, a separate mooring platform is situated approx 60m from the main pier. All mooring lines should be ropes, outboard anchor is used to 7 or 8 shackles. 4, 2, 2 forward and 4, 2, 2 aft, where 2 breast lines are led to mooring buoy. All shore lines on bollards, no quick release. Only S side of jetty is used by Gasmar and vessels must be starboard side to, facing seaward.

Pilotage is compulsory. Pilot boards in waiting area located 1.2nm NNE of the light on Peninsula Los Molles. Pilots must be ordered via the ship's agent at least 2hrs prior to arrival while advising vessel's position, course and speed. Pilots can be contacted on VHF Chs 08, 13, 16, 68, 69, 74, 75 and 76.

A Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) operates throughout 24hrs. This VTS is in effect for the waters of Bahia Quintero, in an area bounded by the following positions: ..... Position Latitude Longitude a. 32°25.95'S 71°25.63'W b. 32°25.85'S 71°40.53'W c. 32°31.72'S 71°49.50'W d. 32°45.53'S 71°49.65'W e. 32°56.92'S 71°43.33'W f. 33°01.08'S 71°38.35'W ..... 1. All vessels in transit towards Quintero Bay, entering or leaving the bay or anchoring with the port limits must participate in the VTS Scheme. 2. All vessels must keep a listening watch on VHF Ch 16. 3. Vessels should confirm ETA one hour before arrival to Quintero Radio on VHF Ch 16. 4. On entering the VTS area, vessels should establish communication with Quintero Radio giving their name, callsign and ETA at the Pilot Boarding Position. 5. Participating in the VTS is voluntary for vessels transiting the VTS area from the N, S or W. These vessels must keep their AIS systems in operation. Vessels in transit outside port limits should include their vessel name, departure time from previous port, their destination port and an ETA for this.

Two tugs used for all mooring operations. Tugs not on standby but in vicinity within Quintero Bay. Current regulations dictate that vessels 150m and over shall be assisted by 2 tugs for berthing and unberthing. Vessels less than 150m shall use 1 tug of sufficient power.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly. Autumn: Mar-Jun, fog during morning time and clears up at midday. Winter: Jun-Sep, N winds 25-50kts. May be expected together with bad weather conditions and heavy swell inside the bay. Harbour Master may instruct to unberth or unmoor all vessels in the port. Spring: Sep-Dec SW winds 20-30kts from midday to sunset, berthing may be restricted or suspended. Summer: Dec-Mar fog may be expected from early morning to midday, no berthing or docking during fog periods. Bad Weather Warnings: Depending on the approaching speed of the bad weather conditions, at winds of 18kts all vessels at buoy terminals, discharging hoses must be disconnected and vessels get ready for unmooring. Ships docked alongside must close hatch covers, lower down cargo cranes and get ready to undock. Over 25kts no vessel should remain alongside or moored in buoy terminals. As the weather conditions improve, Harbour Master evaluates sea and swell conditions before authorising docking and mooring manoeuvres.Special Swell Warnings: During winter and spring time, due to bad weather in southern Chile, strong wind can develop heavy swell affecting the central coast. Waves entering the bay may cause broken mooring lines and eventually require having to unmoor or undock.Special warnings of bad weather conditions are announced in advance by the Harbour Master through the Agent and Terminal Operators.
