Barry (GBBAD)

The Port of Barry, a maritime gateway on the southern coast of Wales, is a hub characterised by its three distinct docks and an expansive water area of 46 hectares. This strategically located port is entered between two breakwaters which is then followed by a lock and tidal basin providing protection and ensure safe navigation for vessels entering its waters. The port is owned by Associated British Ports. Within this dock lies Navigator Terminals Windmill, a specialised facility focused on the handling of chemicals. Dock No 1 is set to undergo a transformation as outlined in the ports vision. Plans are in place to develop a 400-berth marina, designed around The Mole, which will enhance the port's recreational offerings.

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

The port of Barry lies on the N shore of the Severn estuary, approx 7nm W of Cardiff.

Max LOA 178m, beam 23.80m, draught 9.1m and 23,000DWT.

Approx 125,000t of cargo and 26 vessels handled annually.

Barry Roads, 1nm E of Nell's Point (51°23'N., 003°16'W) affords good anchorage in moderate weather, there are depths of 10.0m, gravel and clay, 0.5nm SE of the entrance to Barry Docks. An anchorage can also be found in the N part of Barry Roads, out of the strength of the tidal stream, in depths of 7.0m, 0.5nm W of Sully Island. Breaksea Point (51°23'N., 003°24'W). An anchorage for deep draught vessels can be obtained off the point where there is ample room and deep water. Explosive Anchorage Areas lie centred 1.8nm SSW, 3.5nm ESE and 4.0nm SE of the port entrance. All vessels using and intending to load/unload explosives in the aforementioned area must inform the port authority 48hrs in advance.

Barry Docks are approached from Breaksea Lightfloat and are entered from SE between W and E breakwaters with a width of 107m. Approaches: From the vicinity of Breaksea Lightfloat to the harbour entrance, the route lies S and E of Merkur Lightbuoy (port hand) (51°22'N., 003°16'W). Masters should take into account the many wrecks and shoal patches in the approaches and therefore entry will depend mainly on draught of vessel and tidal conditions. Entrance channel: The entrance channel, with a least depth of 2.0m, leads between W breakwater, at the head of which stands a conspicuous lighthouse (white round tower, 9m in height) and E breakwater, which exhibits a light (mast) at the breakwater head. The entrance to the docks are throught the Lady Windsor Lock and No. 3 Dock Basin (primarily used in the event that lock has broken down or a vessel is too large for the lock). Lights (white mast, 13m in height) are exhibited at the head of W Jetty. The entrances are as follows: .....

SE Wales pilotage: Associated British Ports (ABP) provide the pilotage service for Barry. The pilotage district covers those tidal waters within a limit bounded seawards by straight lines joining Hartland Point Light (51°01'N., 004°32'W) to Lundy Island S Light, then Caldey Island Light to the mainland. ..... 1.

Pilots normally board in the vicinity of Breaksea Lightfloat. The following information will need to be provided: ..... 1. ETA 2. Max draught 3. Port of destination Contact should be made with the pilot vessel by VHF at least 2 hours before arrival and maintained until the pilot has embarked. Under certain circumstances, arrangements may be made to board vessels further to the W within the pilotage area provided at least 24 hours notice is given to the Severn VTS office, Cardiff. The pilot vessel, PV Terra Nova is stationed at Barry. There is no cruising or anchored pilot vessel. Outward bound vessels should send their ETD to the pilot office at least 6 hours in advance .....

Wrecks with a least depth of 5.9m and 4.7m lie respectively 0.85nm E and 0.4nm ESE of the point. Detached patches, with a least depth of 3.4m, lie 1.75nm E of the point. An outfall pipeline, marked by a lighted buoy, extends 1.1nm SSE from the W side of Barry Harbour. A seperate outfall pipeline extends 0.5nm SE from a point on the shore, close E of the port entrance. Vessels navigating in Barry Roads are recommended to give the port entrance a wide berth.

Red or green entry traffic signals (fixed lights) are exhibited at night only, from the positions indicated as follows: ..... Signal Meaning West Jetty: G Vessel may enter Lady Windsor Lock from the sea. A hand klaxon is sounded twice in succession at intervals of 30 seconds in restricted visibility. No 3 Dock: Basin entrance G Vessel may enter No 3 Dock Basin from the sea. A hand klaxon is sounded at irregular intervals on West Jetty (basin entrance) in restricted visibility. Within the docks the following night signals exhibited from the W side of Lady Windsor Lock, or from the W side of No 3 Dock Basin entrance, or Junction Cut, control the traffic according to the positions from which the signals are shown. G Vessel may enter Lady Windsor Lock from No 1 Dock or may enter No 3 Dock Basin from No 1 Dock, or may enter Junction Cut from No 1 Dock or No 2 Dock. R Vessel may not enter the above lock or docks from No 1 Dock or enter Junction Cut from either No 1 Dock or No 2 Dock.

Tugs are based at Barry and usually join a vessel in Barry Roads.
