The channel is divided into 2 sections. The first section is connected elliptically to the turning basin (520m in diameter) which is SW of the Coal Wharf. It is 2,400m in length and width, dredged to 15.0m in depth and can accept fully loaded 50,000DWT vessels anytime and 100,000DWT vessels at HW. There is a 500m wide ancillary channel on either side of this section. The second section starts where the dredged section ends and runs to the anchorage. It is a natural waterway, 4,300m in length and 3,000m wide, mud bottom and 15.0-18.0m in depth.
