Waingapu is the principal port of the island and consists of two commercial port areas open to foreign trade, Nusantara wharf and Pelra Wharf. There is also anew Ro-Ro ferry jetty at Pelni.

Tropical.

Waingapu is located on the NE corner of Sumba Island.

Max draught 10.0m, LOA 120m, 20,000DWT.

Approx 407 vessels, 204,741t of cargo, and 54,056 passengers handled annually.

The channel length is approx 1nm leading to the outer roadstead anchorage (09° 37.7'S 120°15.7'E), 0.6nm E, in the swept channel, in a depth of 35m close W of the leading line, 0.6nm E of Tanjung Tai Manuk. Care must be taken to avoid the 7.5m reef off the point. The best anchorage is just within the entrance to the inlet in a depth of 28m, mud and sand, 0.35nm WNW of Tanjung Atu. Small vessels can anchor closer in at the entrance to either arm of the inlet in a depth of 22.0m. The W arm is more spacious, but the bottom is hard, that of the E arm is of stiff mud. An anchor is embedded in the N extremity of the reef between the two arms, and may be used as a bollard.

The position of the sea buoy is 09°38.22'S 120°15.25'E. The approach is through the deep open waters of Teluk Nangamesi. A projecting point divides the inner harbour into two inlets. The entrance to a swept channel, 500m in width, lies 2.5nm N of the flagstaff at Waingapu. Leading marks: Front light (white metal framework tower, 9.0m in height) A beacon (N cardinal) 50m NE of the light marks the outer end of the reef between the entrances to the two inlets of the inner harbour. Centre mark: White stone pyramid (beacon) 0.12nm S of front mark. Rear mark: White stone pyramid (beacon) 0.2nm S of centre mark. From the open waters of Teluk Nangamesi N of the former mined area, the alignment 186.5°of the above mark leads S through a swept channel 0.3nm in width passing, E of a reef over which there is a depth of 7.5m (0.975nm N). A reef, depth 2.4, marked by a beacon lies 0.2nm farther WSW. Another reef (depth 1.3m) lies 0.1nm NW of the beacon. (these dangers lie within 0.6nm E of Tanjung Taimanuk), then W of a dangerous detached reef (0.55nm NNE) marked by a light (tower) standing 01.25nm SE of the NW extremity of the reef, then E of a light (beacon, 0.3nm N) which extends up to 0.3nm of the W shore of the bay, then W of a light beacon (0.25nm NNE) marking the W extremity of the reef extending N from Tanjung Atu. There is a least width of 300m in the fairway between the light beacons marking these coastal reefs. Then course may be set to pass either E or W of the front leading marks. The port basin has min depths of 5.0m and max depth of 15.0m LWS.
