Fecamp (FRFEC)

The port consists 5 basins, handles general cargo, dry bulk and liquid cargo.

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

Fecamp is situated on the N coast of France, in a valley close S of Pointe Fagnet.

LOA 105m, draught 7.0m.

The coast in the vicinity of Fecamp is exposed and anchoring is not recommended. There is a waiting anchorage, centred 1.2nm W of Jetee Nord Light, in depths from 10.0-16.0m, sand and shell, bad holding ground. The anchorage is exposed to winds from the SW through N to NE. The sea rises rapidly and vessels should only anchor in fine weather. The best anchorage is the ESE edge of the waiting area in depths of 10.0m, adjacent to the Casino (49°46.5'N 000°21.6'E).

Channel: The channel, which lies between 2 jetties, N and S, is 220m in length and 70m in width. It has been dredged to a depth of 1.5m CD. Entry is only recommended at the end of the ingoing stream, approx 30 minutes before HW when the NNE-going stream is weak, especially for large vessels, heavy vessels and during bad weather conditions. Approach and entry: The port is approached directly from seaward through a dredged channel which lies between two jetties which project from the shore. Leading lights: Head of Jetee Sud (grey tower, green top, 10m in height) (49° 45.9'N 000°21.9'E). Root of Jetee Nord (red circle on white mast, 7m in height) (230m E of front light). The alignment (082°) of these lights, which may be difficult to distinguish against the town lights at night, leads from the W to a position several hundred metres from Jetee Sud, when course should be adjusted towards ENE to pass close N to the head of Jetee Sud noting the NNE-going stream across the harbour entrance. This approach allows for the yaw as the bows enter slack water, while the stern is still in the current, which aligns the vessel with the entrance channel. The entrance channel leads to both Avant-port and Arriere-port from where direct approach can be made to the bridge and lock gates of Freycinet commercial non tidal basin or from the Avant port direct to the lock gates of Berigny non tidal Basin.

2451 Map (SH) No 7 207. BA 1354, 2148, 2451. Admiralty Pilot NP28, NP286(1).

The port has a coastguard station (SNSM). Rescue services are under the control of Fecamp Signal Station.

Compulsory for vessels over 45m in length moving within the harbour and the pilotage area, which extends 2.0nm from the harbour entrance. Pilots normally board 1nm WNW of the entrance from approx 2 hours before HW. The pilot launches "Rollon" and "Wanning" have red hulls and white trim and can also assist vessels berthing.

The port limits extend 2nm from the piers.

Major light: Jetee Nord Light (grey tower, red top, 14m in height) (49°46.0'N 000°21.9'E). Leading lights: Head of Jetee Sud (grey tower, green top, 10m in height) (49° 45.9'N 000°21.9'E). Root of Jetee Nord (red circle on white mast, 7m in height) (230m E of front light).

The lock is opened 2 hours before HW until HW.

Range 4.5m. Flow NNE from 4 hours before HW, speed 1.5 to 2.9kts. Ebb tide, flowing SSW, is less significant.

Available. Two pilot boats are also available.

Prevailing winds: S to NW entrance is difficult with WNW wind. Local weather: When the wind is strong from SW through N to NE and especially during the out-going stream, a dangerous bar is formed between the two jetties at the harbour entrance, which at times makes entry impossible. With a swell from the W, steering in the approaches to the entrance is difficult and it may not be possible to enter the harbour. There can also be a strong scend in the entrance channel but this reduces progressively in Avant Port and then Arriere Port. Winds from the ENE through S to WSW may result in reduced visibility, particularly in cold weather.
