Puerto Ventanas (CLVNT)

Puerto Ventanas is a sub-port of Quintero.

Port limits: The Quintero port area is restricted to the interior sector of a connecting line between Punta Liles and Ventanilla. Sea buoys, fairways and channels: The main approach is via a Traffic Separation Scheme as follows: From the vicinity of 32°45'S 071°37'W the inbound traffic lane leads (with reference to Punta Liles): N of Bajo Las Malenas, 0.5nm WNW, then to the pilot boarding place N of Punta Liles, then as requisite for anchoring or berthing. The outbound traffic lane passes S of Roca Chandler (3nm N of Punta Liles). There are leading lights alignment 090° for the approach to the N side of the pier and leading lights alignment 088° for the approach to the S side of the pier. Pilot: The pilots based in Puerto Ventanas have powers granted by Chilean law to operate in Bahia Quintero. The pilot waiting zone and boarding area is within a circle of 500m radius centred on a position 329° x 1,800m from ENAP Pier Lighthouse. The ship will be advised a course to steer by the pilot prior to his boarding. Anchorages: Bahia Quintero is spacious and sheltered from S winds, but is open NW. It affords good anchorage in the summer, but the holding ground is not good and anchors will drag when the cable works. Anchorage may be obtained in any part of the bay clear of the prohibited areas enclosing the SBM and associated pipelines. Anchorage positions are as follows: In depths of 15m to 20m mud and sand, 0.8nm ESE of Punta Liles, noting Rocas Estrella, lying on a reef 0.25nm SW of this position. It is stated that small vessels can anchor off Caleta Ventana, 32°45'S 071° 30'W, where there are depths from 3.7m to 9.0m, sand, this position however is within the prohibited anchorage area. Tidal range and flow: Bay tides are semidiurnal most of the time. Highest level is 1.99m, lowest level is 0.35m, max tide amplitude is 1.64m and mean tide amplitude is 0.91m. With new moon and rising tide conditions, fairly intense S currents have been reported. Dock density: 1025. Weather: Due to the constant heavy swell in the bay, surging and ranging are commonly experienced, when vessels may find it difficult to remain close alongside. Moorings should be tended frequently. Winds: The prevailing winds in Quintero Bay are SW'ly approx 26% of the time; S'ly winds, 14%; N'ly winds, 10%. Winds blowing at less than 10kts occur 77% of the time. Winds blowing at less than 21kts will occur 96% of the time. More powerful winds (over 36kts) are usually N'ly winds in the autumn and winter. Temperature: The temperature in Ventanas is fairly stable. Mean temperature is 15.3°C in summer down to 10.1°C in winter. Highest temperature is approx 29°C and min is approx -2°C. Temperatures below freezing are a rare occurrence. Rainfall: Annual mean rainfall is 250mm (max being 530mm and min being 110mm), Jul and Aug being the wettest months. Relative humidity: Is high and fairly uniform with an annual average of 86%. Fog: Most frequent during Apr and May. Principal navigation aids: Peninsula Los Molles Light, 32°46'S 071°32'W. Directional light on the pier between No 3 and 5 berths for berthing on the S side. Traffic schemes: There is an IMO adopted traffic separation scheme in the approaches to Quintero Bay leading to the pilot boarding area. Tugs: 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. Coastguard: Available throughout 24 hours. Mooring information: For Berths No 1, 3 and 5 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 there are 2 beacons consisting of yellow circles with a black inner circle, located 160m S of the dock's axis. Moorings: 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.
