Wadi Feiran Terminal (EGWAF)

The facilities consist of two CBMs connected to shore storage tanks by submarine pipelines.

Tropical.

Wadi Feiran is a tanker loading terminal situated on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Suez, approx 150km SSE of Suez.

LOA 274m, draught 16.1m.

Anchorage can be obtained in area approx 2nm W to SW of the terminal, in a depth of 31m.

Vessels should keep at least 3nm offshore until W of the oil tanks on the shore. The approach to the berths should then be made with the tanks bearing not more than 090° to avoid the shoal depths of 10.0m or less which lie NW of the terminal. Vessels approach the berths from the W, never from the N because of shallows. Vessels should follow the same track for departure to be clear of shoals. Two spar buoys (position approximate) are moored close NW of berth No 1 and No 2.

BA 2132, 2373, 2374. Admiralty Pilot NP64, NP286(8).

1032.

Vessels berth with their anchors down and secured to mooring buoys aft.

Compulsory. Pilot boards in the anchorage approx 1nm SW of berth No 1.

Berthing usually takes place during daylight only. Vessels must have a min of 330m of anchor chain on each anchor.

Range 0.2m.

Two tugs available for berthing/unberthing.

Prevailing winds: NNW'ly.
