LOA 299.5m, beam 35m, draught 7.9m, 9,480DWT.

There is safe anchorage in Garitsa Bay, but depths in the harbour itself are restricted to 7.9m and anchoring in the roadstead during NW'ly winds is less secure. Quarantine anchorage: The quarantine anchorage lies approx 0.3nm S of the island in a depth of 24.0m. Outer anchorage: Situated in an open roadstead about 2nm long by 0.75nm wide which lies in front of the port.

The port may be approached from Stena Kerkiras by passing either side of Nisida Vidho. If passing N or W of the island care is necessary in avoiding: Vrachos Kondilonisia, above water rocks 0.1nm NW of the N point of the islet. Vrachonisis Navsika (0.7nm W of the N point of the islet), 9m high, and shoals which extend about 0.3nm NE, SE and NW of the rock. Entrance into the commercial harbours lies between the W head of the E breakwater and the E head of the W breakwater. The entrance W of the W breakwater should only be used by vessels of less than 6.0m draught.
