Compulsory for all vessels 500GT and above and available throughout 24 hours. Vessels should contact pilots on VHF Ch 14, 1 hour and 4nm prior to arrival and maintain a continuous listening watch to receive instructions. Pilot boards in position 36°33.8'N 006°19.0'W. The pilot vessel, 14m with black hull with yellow funnel capable of 14kts, is usually anchored (weather permitting) off Dique de San Felipe on the NW side of the harbour entrance. Vessels are boarded 0.4nm WNW of the Fairway Buoy, about 2nm N of Castillo de San Sebaatian Lighthouse (36°32'N 006°19'W). Under normal circumstances the pilot ladder should be on the port side for entry and the starboard side for departure.

The waters of Cadiz Bay enclosed by a line joining the following positions: From the shore at Castillo de San Sebastian Light (36°32'N 006°19'W) W to: 36°31.7'N 006°24.0'W; then N to: 36°38.1'N 006°24.0'W; then E to the shore at Punta Candor. The limits extend inwards as far as Punta de la Clica in Cano de la Carraca (36° 30'N 006°13'W).

Major Lights: ..... Castillo de San Sebastian Light 36°32'N 006°19'W Cabo Roche Light 36°18'N 006°08'W Brown square tower, 20m Cabo Trafalgar Aeromarine Light as above

Puente Jose Leon de Carranza (36°30'N 006°15'W) is a double bascule bridge which crosses the Bay from the S side of the International Free Zone to Matagorda and which provides a passage 90m wide near its centre. The passage is marked by lights and the bridge span marked by lights (fixed yellow). Passage through the bridge is normally allowed in daylight only, but may be permitted at night in special circumstances. Overhead power cables, both with a vertical clearance of 50m, cross the harbour above and below Puente Jose Leon de Carranza. One is 0.6nm NW of the bridge the other is 0.3nm SE of the bridge. The N cable is suspended between 2 conspicuous pylons. Vessels must ensure a minimum clearance of 3.6m beneath the cable. The S cable is supported on 8 square metal pylons, 2 of which flank the channel; vessels must ensure a minimum clearance of 3m beneath the cable.

Range 2.8m (spring), 1.3m (neap). Strong W winds greatly increase the rise of the tide and delay the time of HW; offshore winds have the opposite effect. In Canal Principal the spring rate is 1.5kts increasing to 2kts off Bajo de la Cabezuela (36°32'N 006°15'W), to more than 3kts in the vicinity of Puente Jose Leon de Carraca. At neaps the stream is weak. The stream set strongly over the shoals in the vicinity of Bajo Las Puercas (36° 33'N 006°18'W).

Vessel Traffic Service is mandatory and encompasses waters of Bahia de Cadiz, bounded by the following positions: Castillo de San Sebastian Lighthouse (36°31.7'N 006°18.9'W). 36°31.8'N 006°23.9'W 36°38.2'N 006°24.0'W. Reporting: Inbound vessels intending to enter the VTS area must report their ETA to Cadiz Trafico on CHF Ch 74 as follows: ..... 1.
