Teignmouth (GBTNM)

The Port of Teignmouth, operated by Associated British Ports, is a crucial maritime facility serving South West England. With a rich history dating back to the 14th century, the harbour has long been a significant player in regional trade and commerce. Its strategic location along the coastline has allowed it to thrive as a key port for centuries. Teignmouth's berths are classified as NAABSA (Not Always Afloat But Safely Aground), which provides flexibility in operations, particularly in relation to tidal variations. This classification enables the port to accommodate a diverse range of vessels and cargo types, ensuring efficient handling and logistics. The port is a vital hub for several industries, notably construction, agriculture, and the ball clay market. It plays an essential role in the exportation of clay and the importation of animal feeds. Beyond clay and animal feeds, the port handles a diverse range of cargoes, including grain, agribulks, stone chippings, salt, forest products, slag, and aggregates. This wide array of handled materials underscores the port's importance in sustaining regional economic activities and contributing to the broader supply chain.

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

Teignmouth is located on the SW coast of England at the mouth of the River Teign.

Max LOA 124m, beam unrestricted, draught 5.7m and 5,246DWT.

Approx 270,000t of cargo and 99 vessels handled annually.

Anchorage may be obtained in good holding ground of silt over clay, approx 1nm E or SE of The Ness. Vessels should avoid anchoring near an obstruction 0.6nm ENE of The Ness.

Since the depths over the sandbanks fronting the entrance to the River Teign and their positions are subject to constant change, local knowledge is essential and directions for anything but local craft or small visiting vessels is misleading. Vessels will be advised of the best channel when the pilot boards. Lights in line bearing 334° on the S end of The Den, indicate the approx E limit of Pole Sand. They should not be used as leading marks. The front light is exhibited from a grey round stone tower, 6.0m in height and the rear light from a black column 6.0m in height. Numerous drying banks are located in the vicinity of the entrance channel which dry up to 0.6m, as a result local knowledge is required. Having found the best channel to the river entrance, vessels should alter course W for the entrance keeping approx 0.025nm N of Philip Lucette Light Beacon, then the track leads round The Point and NNE through the channel marked by lightbuoys (port and starboard hand). Lights in line (022°) on New Quay can be used by mariners with local knowledge but they do not lead in the channel. Deeper water lies W of this leading line and pilots will advise of the best route to take to their berth.

Pilotage is compulsory for vessels of LOA 30.0m or more. Vessels send their ETA and request for pilots at least 12hrs in advance via vessel's agent or by VHF to Teignmouth Pilots. Vessel's length and precise draught must be stated. Vessels under LOA 30m should consult the Harbour Master for information and advice. It is recommended that vessels without local knowledge should not enter the estuary without advising their presences or seeking advice. Pilots board from a vessel with a black hull and white superstructure 1nm off the port, 1 hour before HW to 1 hour after HW.

A speed limit of 6kts is in force in the port. It is known that an outfall pipeline extends approx 1.2nm ESE from The Ness. Diffusers are also located at the seaward end and are marked by a lighted buoy.
