Tanjung Pandan (IDTJQ)

The port serves an inland area that includes 80,000ha of oil palm estates, kaolin, granite and quartz sand. Passenger facilities: The wooden dock has been upgraded to a concrete, passenger waiting room has been built and the roads around the terminal have been repaired.

Tropical.

Tanjung Pandan is situated on the N side of the mouth of Sungai Cerucup, on the W coast of the island of Belitung in Bangka-Belitung province, in the Java Sea between Sumatera and Borneo.

LOA 62.5m, draught 4.0m, beam 16m, 2250DWT.

Approx 850,000t of cargo, 2,000TEU, 600 vessels and 100,000 passengers handled annually.

Outer anchorage (02°43.0'S 107°33.0'E): For large vessels of deep draught may be obtained in a depth of 15.0m, sand, 0.6nm E of the starboard hand buoy moored 3.25nm WNW of the light structure and on the S side of the channel. Vessels of moderate size may obtain anchorage approx 1.25nm WNW of the light structure, in a depth of 12.0m, sand. This anchorage, however, is unsafe during the NW monsoon, when vessels may anchor near Pulau Sebongkok, in the N part of Selat Mendanau. Swept areas enclose this anchorage and its approach; the anchorage has been swept to a depth of 8.0m and its approach to 10.0m depth. The narrow channel along the N side of Batu Kijang, which leads to the inner anchorage, is marked by lightbuoys and on the N side by three beacons (red; two cylinders topmark) situated 0.25nm NW, 0.2nm NE and 0.5nm E of the light structure and two light beacons situated 1nm WNW and 0.3nm NW of the same structure. The S side is marked by a beacon (green; cone, point up, topmark) situated 300m W of the light structure. Inner Anchorage (02°44.2'S 107°36.0'E): A fairly wide basin with a least depth of 5.5m, mud and sand, close E of the light structure. This anchorage is unsafe during the NW monsoon and vessels should then anchor at Selat Mendanau. It is comfortable for two vessels of 120m in length and of less than 5.8m draught and affords good shelter in SE monsoon. Due to the very limited room, extreme caution is necessary when anchoring and the use of both anchors is recommended. Prohibited anchorage: Anchorage is prohibited in an area NE of the fairway extending WNW from Tanjung Pandan.

The channel is approx 2.6nm in length with width 25m and min depth of 3.0m LWS. A fairway lightbuoy (red and white stripes; light flashing white every 5 seconds; radar reflector) is moored close W of a 8.5m shoal situated 4.75nm WNW of the light structure. Lightbuoys (starboard hand) are moored 1nm and 0.45nm WNW of the light structure, a lightbuoy (port hand) moored 0.2nm NW of the same structure. Directions: From the vicinity of the fairway lightbuoy (safe water) the track leads ESE through the buoyed channel to the anchorage areas, passing, from Tanjung Pandan Light (white beacon, 02°44.9'S 103°37.6'E), SSW of a shoal, marked by a buoy, NNE of a buoy (starboard hand), 5nm WNW moored 0.5nm NNW of Karang Tengah. SSW of a buoy (port hand), 3.3nm WNW, moored 3nm S of Mangkok Besdar. Between a lightbuoy (port hand), 3nm WNW and a lightbuoy (starboard hand),1.5nm SSW, then between the reefs marked by light beacons and lightbuoys (port and starboard hand) into the inner anchorage area for small vessels. Across the entrance to the channel from the Inner Anchorage to the river is a bar of hard sand and stones with a least depth of 0.3m which extends 0.5nm NW from Pulau Kelemmoa. A buoy (starboard hand) is moored 0.3nm NW of the bar and 0.6nm NW of Pulau Kelemmoa.The port basin has an area of 33,900mІ and depths from 3.0m to 5.5m LWS.
