Tarragona (ESTAR)

The harbour, which is protected by breakwaters, has facilities for handling most types of cargo. An offshore SBM berth is provided for large tankers discharging crude oil.

Summer.

Tarragona is situated on the Costa Daurada approx 100km SW of Barcelona.

Harbour: LOA 336.70m, beam 45.6m, draught 18m, 180,960DWT. Offshore: LOA 333.08m, draught 42.8m, 321,300DWT

Approx 32,400,000t of cargo, 34,000TEU, 2,400 vessels and 115,000 passengers handled annually.

Anchorage can be found from 0.75nm to 4.5nm E to ENE of the head of the breakwater, taking care to avoid the charted foul ground area. An additional anchorage can be found 1.75nm to 3.25nm SE of the same point, outside the charted Anchoring Prohibited Area. Larger vessels are allowed to anchor approx 1.5nm ENE of the head of the breakwater, in depths of 31m to 32m. This berth should have good holding ground but there may be a heavy ground swell in winter.

From a position SE of CAbo de Salou (41°03'32N 1°10'31E) a course should be taken for about 2.5nm, passing clear of the tanker mooring buoy (SBM) located 1.0nm SSE of the lead of Pantalan REPSOL at least 0.5nm. The entrance channel is approx 2,400m in length and 450m wide with a depth of 26.0m. Caution should be exercised as there may be strong eddies off the mole heads. Entry should not be attempted in heavy seas.

A vessel should experience no difficulty in making the port. However, when entering and berthing, caution is necessary, for at times a considerable current and strong eddies are experienced off the mole heads, and there is little room for manoeuvring. Entry should not be attempted if a heavy sea is running.
