The port is currently closed to commercial shipping. Information is retained should it reopen.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Bantry is located on the SW coast of Ireland.

Entrances: The principal entrance to Bantry Harbour is through a narrow but deep channel leading E of Horse Islet (51°42.0'N 009°28.0'W). There is an alternative entrance W of Horse Islet and also a channel at the S end of the harbour leading from Bantry Bay S of Whiddy Island. This channel is suitable only for shallow draught vessels. Directions from Whiddy Harbour to Bantry Harbour: Channel E of Horse Islet: The E channel, 0.17nm in width with depths of over 20.0m, is preferable to the channel W of Horse Islet. Clearing mark: The line of bearing, 294° astern, of Whiddy Point East passes 0.2nm N of Horse Islet and clear of the shallow flat on which the islet stands. From the anchorage the following line leads through the N part of the channel: The line of bearing 214° of the cliffs at Blue Hill (51°40.5'N 009°29.5'W) seen between the two Chapel Islands (1.0nm NNE). These marks lead through the N part of the E channel passing SE of Horse Lightbuoy (0.25nm ENE of Horse Islet). When Horse Islet bears NW the track leads S through the remainder of the channel passing (with positions relative to Horse Islet): W of Gurteenroe Lightbuoy (0.3nm SE) which marks the W edge of the shoal extending from Gurteenroe Point, then: E of Chapel Lightbuoy (0.4nm S) marking the E edge of the shoal extending from the NE end of Chapel Island East. Then a vessel should proceed as requisite for the anchorage S of Chapel Island West. Depth at harbour entrance is 10.97m.

Pilotage is not compulsory except for the following: ..... 1. Passenger liners manoeuvring N of Garinish Island in Glengariff Harbour. Pilot boards in the following positions: ..... 1. Leahill and Glengariff: 1.5nm SSW of Leahill Jetty. All vessels arriving in Bantry Bay including those in transit to Castle Harbour should contact Bantry Bay Harbour on VHF Ch 16 or 14.

The port is bounded by an imaginary line joining Crow Head and Sheeps Head, except the waters of Berehaven sound from Ardnakinaa Point to the Roancarraigmore Lighthouse and the fisheries harbour at Casteltownbere. The outer bay is the area to seaward of an imaginary line drawn due S from Shot Head to the S shore of Bantry Bay. The inner bay is the area which lies E of an imaginary line drawn due S from Shot Head to the S shore of Bantry Bay.

Buoys: .....

Positions 51°41.5'N 009°30.4'W 51°41.5'N 009°30.4'W Two sets of leading marks to indicate the E and W limits of the pipeline corridor from the shore to the SPM. ..... Their positions and light characteristics are as follows: 51°40.0'N 009°31.6'W F G 51°41.2'N 009°31.8'W F G 51°41.0'N 009°31.7'W F R 51°41.2'N 009°31.8'W F R

Unauthorised navigation is prohibited within an exclusion zone, radius 530m from the buoy, owing to the presence of floating hoses. A restricted area in which activities likely to endanger the SPM and its associated moorings and sub-sea hoses, including anchoring, are prohibited extends 0.11nm NNW from the terminal. Passage is prohibited between Whiddy Island and the island structure owing to the submarine high tension cables and pipelines laid between the jetty and the shore.

Range 3.5m, rate 1-2kts.

None.

One or 2 tugs will escort the tanker, 1 will be made fast to the stern.

Prevailing SW wind. Fog average 3 days per year. Wind velocity can exceed 60kts from the SW during the winter months. Tanker operations shall be on immediate notice to cease, when wind speeds reach 30kts accompanied by current speeds of more than 0.5kt but always subject to the determination of the pilot/mooring master and the harbour master.
