Gibraltar (GIGIB)

Gibraltar is a free port and comprises a commercial port area, a naval base and a ship repair complex including dry docks. It is also a major bunkering and off port supply centre. It is an important centre for transhipment cargo and tourism, with cruise vessels making frequent visits to the port. The main harbour is enclosed by three moles. Transcoma runs a catamaran ferry service.

Summer.

The port is situated on the western side of the Rock of Gibraltar in the Strait of Gibraltar.

Unlimited length and beam, draught 9.6m. Deeper draught vessels can be accommodated according to tide. Draught is unlimited in the anchorage. Largest vessel handled: "Triton", LOA 369m, 14,000TEU container ship.

Approx 733,000t of cargo, 1,500TEU, 9,000 vessels and 400,000 passengers handled annually.

Vessels can anchor in the bay in depths of up to 90m, the only danger in entering being the Pearl Rock on the Spanish coast with 2.4m depth. Vessels can anchor on the E side of Gibraltar while waiting for a berth or anchorage position in the Bay of Gibraltar to become available. Anchorage off the harbour: Anchorage may be obtained W of the North, Detached and South Moles but clear of the prohibited area. The anchorage is exposed to SW winds, which cause a heavy sea, and vessels should be prepared to move to alternative anchorages on the NW side of the bay, or off the E coast of Gibraltar. Warning of a change in wind direction is often short and a second anchor should be kept ready for letting go, particularly in the winter months when SW gales may be expected. Caution: Areas of foul ground, which contain debris from old port defence systems, lie close W of Detached Mole (36°08.5'N 005°21.9'W) and to the SW of South Mole (36°07.8'N 005°21.5'W). In addition to the marked areas scattered debris is known to exist within this area extending up to 1nm SW of South Mole. Anchorage in these areas should be avoided wherever possible. Prohibited anchorage: Anchoring is prohibited N and W of the North Mole within an area approx 0.4nm in width, extending 1.1nm W from the extremity of Gibraltar Airport runway (36°09'N 005°21'W) and a short distance on either side of it. A lightbuoy (special aero light), marking the approach to the runway, is moored within the area 0.75nm W of the extremity of the runway. The area close N of the runway is marked by 4 buoys (special). The area close N of the runway and between Western Beach and Windsock Island is also prohibited for anchorage. Anchoring is prohibited within an area extending generally SW to the 100m depth contour from the coast between Europa Point (36°07'N 005°21'W) and Rosia Bay (0.9nm NNW). Restricted entry area: An area, 140m in width extends 800m W from the centre line of the runway; within the area navigation is prohibited during aircraft movements. Imminent aircraft activity is indicated by amber flashing lights and loudspeaker announcements from the end of the runway. Submarine cable area: Abandoned submarine cables extend NE and SE from Sandy Bay. Anchorage E of Gibraltar: Large vessels, many awaiting orders, anchor off the E side of Gibraltar up to 5nm offshore. During periods of predominantly W winds good anchorage may be obtained approx 0.5nm offshore between passage Point (36° 06.9'N 005°20.5'W) and Sandy Bay (1nm N) in depths of approx 20.0m, sand. Caution: Wrecks lie inside the 20.0m depth contour up to 0.5nm E of Passage Point and up to 0.5nm E and ENE of the extremity of the runway. Three lightbuoys (yellow, aero lights) are moored 0.5nm, 1nm and 1.5nm respectively, E of the extremity of the airport runway, marking the runway approach. Gibraltar East Anchorage: ..... 1. The use of East Anchorage is chargeable by Gibraltar Port Authority and all vessels wishing to use the anchorage must have a nominated agent in Gibraltar before permission will be granted to anchor. Vessels should request permission from Gibraltar VTS at least 2 hours prior to arrival 2. Vessels must anchor at least 1.5nm from the shore 3. Engines to be kept at 1 hour notice of readiness 4. No repairs should be undertaken without permission from Gibraltar VTS 5. At times of severe congestion vessels are advised not to anchor and to drift more than 5nm from the shore until a suitable space becomes available

Directions for entering harbour: Vessels other than large vessels, proceeding into the harbour with the intention of securing alongside South Mole should enter by the S entrance, approaching well from the N. Vessels bound for Detached Mole and North Mole, and large vessels proceeding to South Mole should, if possible, enter the harbour by the N entrance; the best approach is made by standing N and turning SE when about 0.5nm NW of "E" Head. Caution: Care must be taken when entering through the S entrance on account of the flow setting across it in the bay. Some idea of the direction of the flow may be formed by observing how vessels at anchor outside the harbour are lying. In strong winds a large vessel should not enter the harbour until tug assistance is available.

Pilotage is compulsory on arrival for berthing, unberthing, anchoring and shifting anchorage. Pilotage is available throughout 24 hours. Bay Pilots berth vessels in the Mercantile port and Admiralty Pilots at HM Naval Base. Vessels at anchor may leave without pilot's assistance. There are 7 pilots who are responsible to the Captain of the Port. Pilots board vessels proceeding to a safe anchorage or to an alongside berth when they are off Camp Bay. Pilots remain onboard vessels making provisioning or crew transfer calls while slow steaming in the sheltered waters of the bay. Pilot boards in position 36°06.7'N 005°21.9'W (in bad weather off Rosia Bay position 36°07.4'N 005°22.0'W).

Inwards of Europa Point and eastern half of Algeciras Bay.

The harbour is enclosed by three moles from which lights are exhibited: North Mole (36°09.0'N 005°21.7'W), from the W extremity of which Western Arm projects S. A light (square tower) is exhibited from "E" head at the junction of North Mole and Western Arm, and a light (round tower, 17m in height) is exhibited from "D" Head at the S extremity of Western Arm. Detached Mole (36°08.5'N 005°21.9'W) from the N and S extremities of which, "C" head and "B" Head respectively, lights (metal supports, 1.5m in height on top of low concrete buildings) are exhibited. South Mole (36°07.8'N 005°21.5'W) from the N extremity of which, "A" Head, a light is exhibited.

For the most part, depths within the harbour exceed 9.0m. Maximum permitted draught alongside berths is 9.6m. Vessels of deeper draughts can be accommodated on a half tide basis according to the rise of tide. There is no restriction at the anchorage. Fishing reef: A shallow concrete block fishing reef has been laid to the NW of the runway leading line.

Mean spring range about 0.9m; mean neap range about 0.4m. The N going flow runs into the harbour through the S entrance and out through the N entrance; the S going flow runs in through the N entrance and out through the S entrance. Its rate is uncertain, but may, in unsettled weather, be considerable. In and close outside the S entrance the flow is approx in the direction of the line joining the mole heads. As there is little or no flow inside the harbour, the stern of a vessel entering, or the bow of a vessel leaving, will probably be swung towards the Detached Mole with the N going flow, or more strongly towards South Mole with the S going flow. In the N entrance the direction of flow is more or less at right angles to a line joining the mole heads and a vessel, entering or leaving on that line will be assisted or retarded by the flow. However, if a vessel enters or leaves obliquely, a strong set may be experienced. All these effects may be modified by eddies which form off the mole heads and by unsettled weather conditions, which can dangerously increase them. In general, the flow is weak and irregular, with a general tendency N or S according to the flow outside. At times there may be an anti clockwise flow round either the N or S half of the harbour. Caution: Following the blocking of the N mole viaduct and the completion of a large reclamation project in the NE part of the harbour (1994) all information regarding tidal streams and flow within the harbour should be monitored with care.

Gibraltar Vessel Traffic Service (Gibraltar VTS) operates in the approaches to Gibraltar. Participation in the VTS is mandatory for all vessels over 8m in length. Notice of ETA should be sent 24 hours in advance. Vessels bound for Gibraltar should report to Gibraltar VTS on VHF channel 12 two hours prior to arrival. Further instructions to report again when 5 miles from Europa Point Light are given after this initial report. When 5 miles from Europa Point Light the following information should be forwarded to Gibraltar VTS: ..... A Vessel's name B Port of registry C IMO Number D Callsing E GT F NT G Master's surname H Number of crew/passengers onboard (including master) I Cargo onboard J Last port of call K Next port of call L Cargo onboard M Health status of crew/passengers N Any vessel deficiencies of defacts O MARPOL waste or slop to dispose of in Gibraltar When the vessel crosses the 3nm territorial sea limit, a report should be sent to Gibraltar VTS on VHF Ch12 providing the vessel's name and position (defined as the distance from the pilot boarding area). Vessels over 100GT, anchored or alongside a berth, and once the pilot has disembarked, must advise Gibraltar VTS of their anchoring time and position or berth number. A continuous listening watch must be kept on VHF channels 12, 16, and 71. Departing Vessels: ..... 1. Pilotage is not compulsory for vessels departing from the W anchorage 2. At berth, vessels are required to provide at least 1 hours notice of departure to Gibraltar VTS. 3. At anchor, prior to heaving anchor, vessels must request permission from Gibraltar VTS 4. Vessels licensed to carry up to 12 passengers are required to report to Gibraltar VTS on VHF Ch 12 prior to transiting British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW) while carrying passengers. The Gibraltar Port Authority has declared an exclusion zone with a radius of 1nm centred on Europa Point Light from position 36°07.34'N 005°20.24'W to the boundary between Europa Point Sector Lights at position 36°05.49'N 005°21.31'W. Entry into or transit through the exclusion zone is limited to vessels of less than LOA 24m. Once the vessel leaves Gibraltar Bay, a report should be made to Tarifa Traffic on VHF Ch 10.

Voith Schneider tugs, 1 each of 15t, 16t, 18t and 45t bollard pull available. Two conventional tugs of 17t and 40t also available.

Prevailing winds: Winter SW'ly, summer E'ly. With winds from between NE and SE, the harbour and adjoining parts of the bay are affected by severe squalls or eddies. This turbulence extends for at least 2nm to leeward of the Rock. During a "Levante" of gale force the squalls are particularly violent and unpredictable within the harbour and up to a mile outside it; the extent of the turbulent area is usually shown by the squall lines on the water. With W winds cold front squalls may be severe; heavy, squally, thundery showers often develop after the passage of a cold front. Intense down currents occur E of the Rock during a strong W flow. Gusts of over 70kts have been recorded on Windmill Hill (36°07.0'N 005°20.7'W) in a W gale and gusts of 60kts during strong E winds.
