When approaching from the W, vessels should proceed to the pilot boarding station situated SW of Batu Berhanti Light. When proceeding from the E vessels should pass N of this light then proceed to the pilot boarding station. From the pilot boarding station the channel is at least 0.2nm wide, passing NE of Belakangpadang Light beacon (green structure, 10m in height, 01°10'N 103°53'E) situated on a detached reef extending N from Pulau Lengkana, then NE of a beacon (starboard hand), 1.5nm SE of the light beacon marking the NW edge of the same reef extending N from Pulau Lengkana, then as required towards the berths. Approaching from Selat Bulan: The route lying on the N side of Pulau Mariam passes between a beacon (starboard hand), which stands on the S extremity of the reef extending from Pulau Mariam.
