Dublin (IEDUB)

The largest port in Ireland for cargo handled, freight and passenger services. High volumes of Ro-Ro traffic and six ferry companies operating 17 daily services to the UK. The channel across the bar has a depth of 7.8m at MLWS. There are facilities to handle Ro-Ro, break bulk, liquid/dry bulk and transit cargoes. Exports include ores, agricultural products, food preparations, peat moss, whiskey and industrial products. Imports include fuel oil, coal, grain, machinery capital goods, chemicals, paper, animal feed, iron and steel.

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

The port of Dublin is situated at the mouth of the River Liffey, in Dublin Bay on the E coast of Ireland.

LOA 288.63m, draught 9.6m, beam 37.2m, 83,375DWT

Approx 38,000,000t of cargo, 774,000TEU, 8,000 vessels and 1,828,000 passengers are handled annually.

An anchorage area in the form of a circle with 1nm diameter is centred 1nm SSW of the Dublin Bay Buoy, with depths at LW from 13.0m-20.0m.

The approach to Dublin is well lit and has easy access. There is a depth across the bar at MLWS of 7.8m LAT. Vessels drawing up to 10.2m can enter the port at HW of normal tides. Vessels drawing up to 7.0m can enter at any state of tide. Vessels proceeding to the Dublin Bay Buoy, which is a roundabout buoy to be passed on the vessel's port side, should proceed through the Traffic Separation Scheme. There are two approaches to the Dublin Bay Buoy, an inward and outward lane at North Burford and the same at South Burford. For larger craft the South Burford routes should be used. Deep draught vessels unable to pass to the N of Dublin Bay Lightbuoy may pass to the S, but should notify Dublin Port radio of their intentions. The inner channel/fairway of the harbour, formed by the straight channel of the River Liffey from the entrance at Poolbeg Lighthouse to Alexandra Basin is 215m wide for the greater part of its length and is maintained at a depth of 7.8m at LAT. The river is quayed for a distance of 5.4km.

BA 1447,1415. Admiralty Pilot NP40, NP286(1).

The master of any vessel shall provide his vessel with fenders or other suitable appliances for the protection of the quay wall and/or his own or another vessel.

Dublin port is the pilotage authority for the Dublin Pilotage District. Pilotage is compulsory for all vessels (except for exempted vessels) including: ..... a. Vessels over LOA 24m with a Passenger Certificate. b. Vessels carrying hazardous cargoes in bulk, ie in tanks which are an integral part of the vessel's structure or such vessels which are not gas free. Pilotage is not compulsory for the following exempted vessels: a. Vessels owned by the State. b. Pleasure craft and sail training vessels. c. Fishing vessels not more than LOA 70m. d. Vessels of not more than LOA 70m. e. Vessels of not more than LOA 95m on departing to sea. f. Vessels the property of, or engaged by the Commissioners of Irish Lights while engaged in carrying out their duties. g. Vessels the property of, or engaged by the company. h. Vessels which are moving from one berth within the port to another berth within the port but subject to the prior approval of the harbour master. i. Tugs, dredgers, hoppers, barges and other similar vessels subject to the prior approval of the harbour master. j. Vessels navigating within pilotage district but outside the seaward limit of the fairway or Dun Laoghaire Harbour, subject to the prior approval of the harbour master. Call Dublin Pilots on VHF Ch 12. The limits of the compulsory pilotage district are the waters of the River Liffey below Matt Talbot Memorial Bridge and so much of the sea westward of the sixth meridian W longitude as lies between the parallels of latitude passing through the Baily Lighthouse on the N and through Sorrento Point on the S, including all bays, creeks and harbours and all tidal and enclosed docks within such area. Pilotage should be ordered between 0900-1700hrs (Mon-Fri) as early as possible through the harbour office by telephone, fax or email. Outside these times, orders should be made via email or telephone through the pilot desk stating the vessel's name, draught and time of arrival or departure. The pilotage service is based on a pilot shore station situated on the Eastern breakwater. The pilot boards in the following positions: (a) Eastern Approach: 53°20.3'N 006°03.3'E (b) South Eastern Approach: 53°19.0'N 006°03.3'E.

The port limits include all the waters of the River Liffey below the Matt Talbot Memorial Bridge and as much of the sea westward of the sixth meridian as lies between the parallels of latitude passing through the Baily Lighthouse on the N and through Sorrento Point on the S including all bays, creeks, harbours and all tidal docks within such area.

Landmarks: Poolbeg Light (red round tower, 20m in height) standing on the S side of the entrance at the head (53°20.5'N 006°09.9'W) of Great South Wall. A fog signal (horn) is sounded from the light. North Bull Light (black round tower 15m in height) standing on the N side of the entrance at the outer end of the submerged part of Bull Wall. A fog signal (bell) is sounded from the light. Other landmarks (positioned relative to Poolbeg Light) are: North Bank Light (black square tower on concrete piles 11m in height) (0.9nm WNW) which marks the N side of the fairway. A fog signal (bell) sounds from the light. Two chimneys close together (1.4nm W), 210m in height, at the electricity generating station on the S bank, are conspicuous both by day and at night. They are marked by red aero lights at the summit and at a height of 85m, and also by fixed red lights at intermediate heights. Two shorter chimneys (1.9nm W), 78m in height, at the power station S of South Bank Quay are conspicuous.

Ringsend Toll Bridge spans the River Liffey approx 2.75nm within the harbour entrance. It is a road bridge having a central lifting span, 30m in length, with a vertical clearance of 2.2m when closed; when open there is no vertical limit. Lifting Bridge: Located in position 53°20.7'N 006°13.6'W. Call East-Link on VHF Ch 12, 13. Arrangement for opening must be made in advance at times pre-arranged with the harbour master's office or through port radio station. At least 20 minutes notice is required as the bridge is not permanently manned. The following times should be observed when bridge opening should be avoided: Between 0700-0930hrs (0630hrs if tugs are being used) and 1600-1900hrs. Vessels in port intending to navigate stern foremost should inform the harbour office (and adjacent vessels) on VHF Ch 12. and navigate on the right hand side of the channel in the direction they are moving. Gas tankers navigating in the channel are not to proceed against traffic proceeding in the opposite direction. A 0.5nm separation shall be maintained ahead and astern of vessels proceeding in the same direction.

Range 3.4m (springs), 1.9m (neaps), rate variable. All depths are referred to the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT). This level is defined as "the lowest level which can be expected to occur under average meteorological conditions and under any combination of astronomical conditions". This datum is referred to as LAT and is 2.52m below Ordnance Datum Malin Head.

A Vessel Traffic Service Scheme is in operation: Vessel Traffic Service: Call Dublin Port Radio on VHF Ch 12 throughout 24 hours. All traffic arriving/departing Dublin port should proceed around Dublin Bay Lightbuoy in a counter clockwise direction. Vessels must report to Dublin Port Radio on VHF Ch 12 on passing the following Reporting Points: ..... Vessels Inbound: Reporting Point Position Remarks A 53°17.8'N 006°01.2'W SE end of Traffic Lane for NW-bound vessels. C 53°21.1'N 006°01.2W E end of Traffic Lane for W-bound vessels I 53°20.3'N 006°06.0'W Vessels Outbound: B 53°17.6'N 006°01.8'W SE end of Traffic Lane for SE-bound vessels D 53°20.7'N 006°01.0'W E end of Traffic Lane of E-bound vessels I 53°20.3'N 006°06.0'W An Automatic Identification System (AIS) is installed.

Three available. Two fitted with twin Voith Schneider propellers, 35t bollard pull each. Also one conventional tug, 16t bollard pull, fitted with Kort nozzles. These are equipped with VHF Ch 16, 12 13 and 09 and have modern fire pumps.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly.
