La Coruna (ESLCG)

La Coruna, situated on the W side of the Ria de La Coruna inlet, equipped to handle general cargo and bulk solid and liquid cargos and is a major fishing industry base. It has a total quay length 8,458m, with usage divided among commercial, fishing and marina operations. Outer Port (43°21.0'N 008°30.5'W) a deep water port, is still under construction with some quay already active for general and dry bulk cargo. The new port area will gradually replace the city port.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

La Coruna is S of the 3 major inlets which lie between Punta Priorino Grande (43°28'N 008°21'W) and Punta Herminio (5nm SW) in Galicia, NW Spain.

Draught 20.00m, LOA 340m, Beam 50m, 176,000DWT.

Approx 13,000,000 of cargo, 6TEU, 1,200 vessels and 160,000 passengers handled annually.

Three main anchorages exist, well charted, close E of the breakwater: Area 'A' is for vessels with draught less than 8.5m. Area 'B' is for vessels with draught less than 7.0m. Area 'C' is for vessels with draught less than 5.0m. Vessels occasionally anchor within the shelter of the breakwater (43°22.0'N 008°22.0'W), as directed by the pilot. Temporary anchorage for any vessels may be obtained in Ria De Ares anchorage. Vessels carrying explosives or dangerous cargoes must anchor E of a line running S from Castillo de San Anton (43°22.0'N 008°23.0'W).

La Coruna is entered between Punta del Seijo Blanco (43°24.0'N 008°21.0'W) and Punta Herminio 2.25nm W, passing on the alignment of leading lights, either E or SW of Banco Yacentes, an extensive rocky bank lying in the approaches centered about 1nm NE of Punta Herminio. Vessels entering from the N in settled weather with draughts not exceeding 9.0m may pass through the channel to the E of Banco Yacentes. Extreme caution should be exercised when using this channel which should not be attempted in heavy weather. Vessels with a draught not exceeding 16.0m and vessels unable to use the N approach in heavy weather, enter from the W through the channel passing SW of Banco Yacentes.
