With its efficient infrastructure and vital role in cross-Channel trade, Calais Port remains a crucial gateway for commerce between the UK and mainland Europe.

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

Calais is located on the N coast of France, on the SE side of the Dover Straits.

Max LOA 245m, beam 43.0m, draught 11.5m and 80,000DWT.

Approx 37,000,000t of cargo and 7,000,000 passengers handled annually.

Anchorage bottom is sand and shells, providing good holding for anchoring in depths of 15.0-19.0m, sheltered from winds from SE to WSW. Ships (except for tankers) of less than LOA 100m may anchor between Buoys "CA2" and "CA4", in fine weather and wind from the S. Other ships anchor 1.6nm to the NNE of Buoy "CA4". Tankers and vessels carrying dangerous cargoes waiting to enter Calais are required to anchor in the S part of the waiting area, which is 4nm NW of Calais and shared with Dunkerque. This anchorage is recommended for other large vessels also. Tankers anchorage for ships loaded with oil is to the N of the 'Ridens de Calais'. Prohibited Anchorage: Anchoring is prohibited in the buoyed fairway extending 1nm W of the harbour entrance and turning area. ..... Lat Long Notes Anchorages: 51°13'N 001°13'E Anchorage given in The Downs during strong N'ly winds. Prohibited Anchorage: 50°59'N 001°45'E Remains of numerous wrecks and obstructions. For vessels waiting to enter Calais an anchorage may be given between Ridens de Calais and Ridens de la Rade, and between the meridians of 1°47'E and 1°48'E. A designated Waiting Area is lies centred 5nm NNW of the port entrance. This anchorage area has depths of 17 to 28m and is shared with the port of Dunkerque. Vessels waiting to enter Calais may anchor in the S part of the aforementioned area.

Regulations concerning entry: The approach channel is recommended for all vessels, but is mandatory for tankers and vessels carrying dangerous cargoes, approaching: From W, along an approach channel running 4nm E, almost parallel to the coast, to the entry channel, which lies between breakwaters or From N, of the Ridens de Calais. Vessels without pilots must request permission to proceed in the buoyed fairway when passing Calais Approach Buoy, or, in the case of ferries, on passing "CA2" Lightbuoy. Tankers within the channel are regarded as vessels restricted in their ability to manoeuvre and should show the appropriate shapes and lights. All vessels are prohibited from anchoring or stopping in the approach channel. The approach channel: Extends 4nm W to the entrance of Calais (depth greater than 10.0m) virtually parallel to the coast. The N limit of the fairway is delimited by the E breakwater head, "CA6", "CA4" and "CA2" Buoy. Calais Harbour entrance: From a position close NW of the harbour entrance (50° 58.4'N., 001°50.5'E) the route leads SE through the harbour entrance, lying between the heads of Jetee Est and Jetee Ouest, converging jetties 230m apart at the entrance, depth 9.0m low tide and 16m at high tide. Ships with a deep draught may only use it at slack water. From Avant-port there is direct access to Bassin Henri Ravisse to the E, the ferry berths grouped around the Quai de la Maritime to the S and to Arriere-port. The line of bearing 142° of Calais Main Light and seen between the light towers at the heads of the jetties, leads through the entrance to Arriere-port, which is dredged to 7.2m. For access to the Carnot wet basin, ships may enter from 3 hours before until 2 hours after high water according to their draught. Ships greater than LOA 115m may only enter (lock gates opened) from 1 hour 30 minutes before until 1 hour after high tide. The basin is maintained at a depth of 7.6m and vessels with beams between 16m and 19.5m may enter with draughts up to 5.9m. Note: The most favourable time to enter harbour is at slack water. When entering the channel between the jetties, allowance should be made for the cross tidal stream so that when the bows are in the shelter of the jetties, the influence of the tidal stream on the stern of the vessel will align the vessel with the axis of the channel. The Carnot wet dock: Capacity: Lock dimensions length 113.5 m, width 21 m and depth 1.8m over the sill..

Ferry terminals operate throughout 24hrs.

Compulsory within 3nm of the port entrance for vessels over 60.0m in length, both inbound and outbound. Request for pilotage should be sent on VHF Ch 17, 2 hours in advance and confirm 1 hour in advance of arrival. Vessels carrying hydrocarbons or dangerous substances should not enter the channel E of the meridian passing through Calais Approach lighted buoy (1° 45.08'E) without a pilot onboard. Pilotage remains compulsory for any dredging or service vessel with an LOA exceeding 60.0m, where the master is making a first visit to Calais. Pilots board approx 0.5nm S of Calais Approach Lighted Buoy (formerly designated CA4). In the event of bad weather, small vessels embark the pilot on passing CA2 Lighted Buoy (formerly designated CA6) (50°58'N., 1°46'E). Pilot boards 0.75nm N of Calais Approach Lightbuoy. Pilotage is not compulsory for any vessels changing quay (berth), manoeuvring in the Carnot Basin (prior agreement with the harbour master), warping along a quay and for vessels passing through the Carnot Lock (prior agreement with the harbour master). Pilotage may also not be required for state patrol and lifeboats with an LOA below 60.0m and those below 50.0m provided they are equipped with VHF radio. Notice for pilotage must be made 12hrs prior, giving ETA at Calais Approach Lighted Buoy (50°59'N., 1°45'E). Additional message given should include LOA, beam, draught, and last port of call. Vessels are then required to contact the pilot station 2hrs prior to arrival on VHF Ch 17 and finally 1hrs prior to confirm ETA.

Light shown from a prominent structure located at the head of the W jetty and 12m high. Pyramid-shaped building located approx 0.4nm SE of the W jetty head at Quai de la. Numerous hotel buildings (radar prominent) are located close W of the root of the W jetty. Notre Dame Church located approx 0.2nm S of the Calais Light. Signal tower stands of the E jetty approx 30m high and located 250m from the light at the head. Radar tower is located on the E jetty.

Vessels carrying hydrocarbons or dangerous substances should not enter the channel to the E of the meridian through Calais Approach Lightbuoy (50°58.9'N,. 001°45.2'E). ..... Location Speed Limit Avant-port and Bassin Est 10kts Arriere-port 8kts Other basins 5kts It is reported that following recent French surveys, depths are generally less than charted on the N side of the port approach channel (on Ridens de la Rade). As a result, vessels are advised not to sail closely along the N edge of the Approach Channel. It is also advised that vessels proceeding in the channel between the jetties at the port entrance must allow for the strong cross tidal current. Fishing and anchoring is strictly prohibited in an area which extends up to 1nm W of the port. Whilst an explosives dumping area lies approx 1.4nm N of the port entrance, at the N side of Ridens de la Rade. A spoil ground and additional dumping area lies approx 1.2 miles NW of the port entrance, at the N side of Ridens de la Rade.

At vicinity of the jetty heads, the in going stream runs ENE end the out going stream runs WSW. At springs, the maximum rate is 3kts on the in going stream and 2kts on the out going stream. Within range of the jetty heads the slack water periods, occurs 2hrs and 30mins after HW at the port and 3hrs 30mins before HW. It is worth noting that these times may be advanced by as much as 30mins during strong W'ly winds and subsequently delay by 30mins during E'ly winds. The current is rectilinear with little or no current between the jetties or within the harbour. ..... Tidal Ranges HAT 7.8m MHWS 7.3m MHWN 6.0m MSL 4.03m MLWN 2.1m MLWS 0.8m LAT 0.2m

Inbound vessels to send their ETA to the harbour master at the roadstead 48hrs prior. The information required must include the nature and quantity of dangerous goods onboard. Vessels are to then confirm their ETA 12hrs prior to the harbour master providing their ETA at Calais Approach Lighted Buoy. The following information must be provided: LOA, beam, draught, last port of call, whether fitted with bow or stern thrusters or other manoeuvring aids, and whether a pilot is required. Notice must be made 2hrs prior to arrival on VHF Ch 17 confirming their ETA, this will allow the vessel to be given their advised berth, time of entry and anchorage (if required). All vessels must maintain a continuous listening watch on VHF Ch 17. It is worth noting that vessels without the use of pilots must request permission to enter the Approach Channel when passing Calais Approach Lighted Buoy. All vessels over 1,600GT carrying hydrocarbons or dangerous substances should call Calais Port Traffic on VHF Ch 17 before entering the access channel and then maintain a listening watch on Ch 17. The aforementioned vessels are advised to consider the Approach Channel leading SE from the Dover Strait TSS and E toward the port entrance to be a Mandatory Access Channel. The same vessels may not enter the channel to the E of the meridian of Calais Approach Lighted Buoy without a pilot and must show appropriate lights and shapes. They are then required to use the designated Waiting Area (anchorage).

Not compulsory. Two tugs are available, one with twin Voith Schneider (2,250hp) and the other with Schottel (3,100hp) twin engine and equipped for firefighting.

Prevailing winds: WSW'ly. In the event of prevailing WSW'ly winds, through N'ly to ENE'ly a heavy sea may be created within the harbour entrance. As a result of the heavy swell, entry may become impossible.
