Mostyn (GBCHE)

Mostyn is a privately owned tidal port covering an area of 28ha with 310m of riverside berths, providing lock free access to all cargo handling areas, a Ro-Ro Terminal and a purpose built berth for unloading aircraft wings. Additionally the port is favourably situated for the transport of offshore wind farm turbines and blades. The port also has its own railway siding linking it directly to the main national rail network. Cargo handled: General cargo, break bulk, freight, steel and project cargo.

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

Mostyn is located in North Wales on the W side of River Dee estuary, 2.75nm SE of Point of Ayr.

Max draught 6.0m, LOA 180m, 7,000DWT.

Approx 4,000t of cargo and 20 vessels handled annually.

North Rhyl Anchorage is centred at 53°23'N 003°33'W, depth 9m, close to Mostyn outer pilot boarding position. This is an open anchorage with only reasonably good holding and where vessels have been known to drag in moderate weather conditions. An alert anchor watch is essential. Anchorage may also be obtained in Wild Road (53°22'N 003°18'W) and Mostyn Deep (53°21'N 003°17'W).

From the pilot boarding area, off Dee Lightbuoy (53°22.0'N 003°18.7'W), to the entrance to Mostyn Docks, the track leads 3nm SE through Wild Road, and Mostyn Deep. The track continues S and SSE through the buoyed channel into the turning basin. The line of bearing of 177.2° in the white sector (176.7° to 177.7°) of the PEL Light (53°19.3'N 003°16.1'W) (orange painted shed) leads through the initial S section of the dredged channel to Mostyn Docks Caution: Mostyn and M2, M3 and M4 Lightbuoys are periodically moved to conform with the movements of the banks, they may not therefore be in the charted positions. M4 Buoy marks the W side of Salisbury Bank.

Compulsory for all vessels over LOA 20m or carrying dangerous cargoes bound for Mostyn or River Dee. Vessels should advise their ETA and draught at the North Rhyl anchorage area at least 24 hours prior to arrival. Mostyn Dock pilots usually board near Dee Light Buoy (53°22.0'N 003°18.7'W) for vessels LOA 20-90m. For vessels greater than LOA 90m and where the master has no previous experience of the approaches to Mostyn, the pilot will board at the outer boarding position off North Rhyl (53°22.5'N 003°33.3'W). Vessels should contact the Harbour Master on arrival at the North Rhyl anchorage confirming vessel's draught. All vessels bound for the Port of Mostyn should wait, or anchor in the North Ryle anchorage area until such time as specified by the Harbour Master to proceed to the pilot boarding position.

The port limits cover a small square area enclosing the approach channel, training walls and new berth.

MHWS 4.0m; MHWN 2.2m; MLWN -4.5m; MLWS -4.5m.

Safety Broadcasts: In addition to the pre-arrival and arrival reports, vessels are also required to transmit safety broadcasts as follows: ..... 1. Inbound: a. Proceeding inbound, 1nm before passing the Middle Patch Spit Lightbuoy, a safety broadcast on VHF Ch 14 notifying other vessels that they are proceeding inbound. b. At the Prestatyn Lightbuoy (53°21.51'N 003°28.50'W), prior to entering the S Hoyle Channel, a safety broadcast on VHF Ch 14. c.
