Kota Baru (IDKBU)

The port handles inter island and ocean going passenger traffic. Main exports are coal, logs, rattan, rubber, palm oil and fish products. Coal is handled alongside berth and via lighters at the Tanjung Pemancingan anchorages.

Tropical.

Kota Baru port is located on the N coast of Pulau Laut Island which is situated off the S coast of Kalimantan Selatan.

Harbour: LOA 320m, beam 45m, draught 14.0m, 181,060DWT. Off shore: LOA 320m, beam 47m, draught 10.0m, 150,000DWT.

Approx 66,000,000t of cargo (including 27,000,000t of coal) handled annually. Please note that the traffic figures are combined for the Kota Baru and Batulicin.

There are two deep water anchorages in Kota Baru Roadstead, with good holding ground, which lie off the N coast of Pulau Laut and within the swept channel between positions (3) and (4) mentioned previously. These anchorages are used for clearance of arrival vessels or vessels awaiting a berth at the coal terminal. .....

Vessels may approach Kota Baru from either end of Selat Laut. Heavy traffic may be encountered in the approaches, including fishing vessels and coal barges. For the coal terminal, vessels from NE or SE should, unless informed differently, first proceed to a nominated anchorage to await a pilot. Normally vessel would enter from the NE channel and depart from the SE. However, deep draught vessels may only depart from the port using the latter. When approaching the NE entrance to Selat Laut from the E, Tanjung Pemancingan Lighthouse and Balingkar Lighthouse should not be brought into line bearing less than 257°. This course leads 0.75nm S of a dangerous wreck, with its mast above water, which lies 3nm ENE of Tanjung Pemancingan. Selat Laut is entered through a swept channel at its NE end, the centreline of which is joined by the following positions: ..... 1. 8.7nm x 081° from Tanjung Pemancingan Lighthouse 2. 1.4nm x 077° from the same Lighthouse 3. 1.3nm x 357.5° from the same Lighthouse 4. 1.9nm x 319.5° from the same Lighthouse 5. 2.7nm x 243° from Balingkar Lighthouse 6. 5.9nm x 238.5° from the same Lighthouse. The channel is 1nm wide with a minimum depth of 10.0m. The SE Channel runs 308°-128° and the entrance/exit point is 128° x 1.5nm from the jetty and is marked by 2 buoys (Fl(2)G7s5M and FlR2s5M). A red and white fairway buoy marks the seaward end of the channel and is 128° x 7nm from the jetty (Iso 4s10M Racon). Vessels berth at slack water. Ships should proceed on course 257° in the NE Channel until the SE Channel buoys are abeam to port. Course is then altered to starboard to steer 300° to approach the wharf with a speed of approx 5kts. Departure: Vessels depart 2 hours before slack water. Loaded draught of vessel determines whether this is at HW or LW slack. On clearing the wharf, vessels proceed on a course set to pass between the SE Channel buoys on a course of 128°. This course should be maintained until the fairway buoy is cleared. Care should be taken to maintain the course as mined areas exist either side of the channel. Pilots disembark in the SE Channel. Berthing basin: Has a depth of 18.0m at CD and is 275m in length. Kota Baru Harbour access channel is 120m in width and 7.0m depth LWS. Port basin has a min depth of 7.0m LWS and max depth of 9.0m LWS.

Compulsory for coal terminal but not for Kota Baru. Pilots are available throughout 24 hours and should be ordered through agent. The pilots board a vessel in the anchorage 2nm E of Tanjung Pemancingan and 2 hours before slack water.

Kota Baru is bounded by a line drawn in a 287° direction from the entrance to Tramuan River, 0.6nm SW of the pier, to the Kalimantan coast and a line drawn in a 337° direction from Balingkar Lighthouse, 0.8nm NE of the pier, to the Kalimantan coast.

The water area is influenced by tides of Balikpapan Water. Tidal streams, which runs parallel with the berth, can reach 3kts in both direction at springs and 1.5kts at neap. Current: The speed of the current near the port is 1.6kts. Mean height is 1.4m. MHWS, 2.8m; MHWN, 2.0m. At the berth the direction of flow is 130°-310° with the following velocities: ..... Tide Direction Rate Springs Flood 310° 3.5kts Ebb 130° 3.5kts Neaps Flood 310° 1.5kts Ebb 130° 1.5kts In the NE Channel and SE Channel the tidal direction is 310°-130°.

There are 10 tugs are available: ..... Horsepower Bollard Pull (tonnes) 1. 2 x 1,600 50 2. 2 x 1,710 40 3. 2 x 1,710 40 4. 2 x 1,175 33 5. 2 x 1,175 33 Tug's lines are used at all times. There is also one lines launch.

Temperature: Approx 37°C. Wind: Direction is variant, usually N and S with Aug being the most active time of year. Rainfall: The mornings are usually calm. However, heavy rainfall can occur in the afternoons. This may be for brief period but is the general pattern throughout the year. The rainy season runs from Nov-Mar with the heaviest fall in December.
