St George's (GDSTG)

The port handles general cargo, dry bulk, container, Ro-Ro, passenger, LPG and liquid cargo.

Tropical.

St George's is located at the SW end of Grenada, the most southerly of the Windward Islands in the E Caribbean.

Melville Street Cruise Terminal: LOA 325m, draught 10.0m.

The best anchorage for a vessel with a deep draught is in a depth of 14.6 to 18.3m with Fort George flagstaff in line with the S extremity of the high wall at Fort Frederick, about 1.0nm E bearing 095°, and approx 0.5nm offshore. Another good anchorage is with the light structure on Fort George bearing 110°, distance 0.5nm. Good anchorage can be obtained on either side of a deep area in the central part of Grand Mal Bay, position 12°02.0'N 061°46.0'W.

Depths and dangers: The N basin or the Carenage has depths of 9.0-20.0m. The S basin or the Lagoon has depths of 4.9-8.2m. An entrance channel to the Lagoon from the Carenage has a depth of 6.0m. The Fathom Banks, with a depth of 5.2m, lie approx 0.5nm WSW of Fort George Point. On the same bank lies the Annas Shoal with a depth of 5.5m over it. The entrance channel is 110m in width with a depth of 13.5m. The Carenage forms the N inlet; it is approached through the main channel, contains the major berths and is the only part of the harbour available for anchorage. The turning basin in The Carenage is approx 278m by 185m, which provides little room for the sharp turn prior to berthing at the Deep Water Berth. Directions for entering harbour: Approach to entrance channel: Initial position, in the vicinity of 12°03.0'N 061°47.0'W (approx 1.0nm WNW of Fort George Point). Leading marks: Front mark, Fort George Point, a bluff headland, rising to an elevation of between 35 and 55m, forming the SW extremity of a promontory. Rear mark, the S extremity of the prison (0.8nm E of the front mark) situated on a summit. The alignment (098°) of these marks leads into the entrance channel, in a least depth of 16.0m, passing (with positions from Fort George Point): Over the S end of a bar (0.8nm WNW), 278m S of the least depth (14.6m), then N of Annas Shoal, (0.55nm W) and the bank on which it lies, then S of the bank extending 0.35nm WNW from Fort George Point, with a depth of 9.7m at its W end. Entrance channel: Initial position 0.35nm W of Fort George Point. Leading Lights (visible at 3.0nm): Front light (red rectangle, white stripe, on framework tower, elevation 14m) (0.5nm SSE of Fort George Point). Rear light (red rectangle, white stripe, on framework tower, elevation 28m) (0.05nm SE of the front light). The alignment (132°) of these lights, lead along the entrance channel passing (with positions from Fort George Point): Close NE of the Outer Lightbuoy (starboard hand) (0.3nm W). This lightbuoy is moored close W of the NE extremity of a bank with depths of less than 11.0m extending 0.8nm from the shore. The Leading Line passes over the edge of the bank, shortly after passing the lightbuoy, then SW of a lightbuoy (port hand) (278m WSW) marking the SW extremity of the bank, with depths of 4.5m extending 278m SSW from Fort George Point. These lightbuoys may be whitened by guano. Initial position 370m SW of Fort George Point: Leading Lights (visible when clear of Fort George Point): Front light (red rectangle, white stripe, on framework tower, elevation 31m) (0.6nm ENE of Fort George Point) situated on the slope at the head of the harbour. Rear light (red rectangle, white stripe, on framework tower, elevation 91m) (520m ENE of the front light). The alignment (068.5°) of these lights, lead into the harbour passing (with positions from Fort George Point): Close SE of the bank extending S and SE from Fort George Point, then NW of a lightbuoy (starboard hand) (370m SE), marking the edge of the bank extending NW from the SE entrance point of the harbour. This point, under development, is fronted by a small rock, then SE of a lightbuoy (port hand) (240m E) marking the edge of the bank, then NW of a buoy (starboard hand) (460m E) moored close W of the entrance to The Lagoon.

Equipment: For the hire or use of any of the ports equipment including forklifts and container handling equipment, a requisition is to be made to the Equipment Supervisor at least 24 hours before the time of required use. Laid up status: Vessels anchored or moored in any port that are not being used for commercial or residential purposes may submit an application to the Port Manager to be classed as "Laid up" prior to such vessel being laid up. Applications or requisition forms are available from the Marine Unit of the Authority or through ship's agents. Berths: An application is required for the use of any berth from the Port Authority. This is usually submitted through the agent and must reach the Marine Unit at least 48 hours prior to vessel's arrival. The application for berth must also indicate whether the vessel is carrying dangerous/hazardous goods, and also indicate what services are required, eg, pilots, equipment, overtime, etc. Cargo: The following apply in respect of the receipt, storage and delivery of cargo: Bulk: Bulk cargo such as asphalt in drums, fertiliser and similar compounds, sugar and grains are usually delivered direct ship to truck.

A Container Interchange Form must be completed to facilitate the movement of containers from the port to an inland destination and upon return.Computerised information: The authority has installed and maintains a Computerised Information System relating to the receipt and delivery of cargo.
