Genoa (ITGOA)

The port offers a sheltered harbour protected by three breakwaters running parallel to the coast. The port handles containers, raw materials, bulk cargoes, including oil (crude and products), chemicals, frozen foods, perishable goods, manufactured goods, Ro-Ro and general cargoes. In addition it is a major cruise ship and ferry port. Facilities provided by the port include a computerised merchandise sorting and consolidation centre, as well as all cargo facilities and three container terminals. A 2,000km overland oil pipeline connects the terminal to the most important European and N Italian refineries.

Summer.

Genoa is situated on the coast of the Ligurian Sea, approx 130km E of the French border.

LOA 399.0m, draught 14.10m, beam 56.4m,186,650DWT

Approx 68,000,000t of cargo, 3,000,000TEU (merged TEU figure with Savona-Vado), 13,000 vessels and 4,500,000 passengers handled annually.

Anchorage areas established in Genova roads: ..... Anchorage area Type of vessel/limitation Alfa Vessels to/from Porto di Voltri Bravo Small tankers to/from Multedo Oil Terminal Charlie Vessels to/from Porto Veccchio/Grazie/Sampierdarena Delta Vessels to/from Porto Vecchio/Sampierdarena Echo Vessels greater than 40,000GT Foxtrot Vessels greater than 40,000GT Golf Vessels greater than 40,000GT Hotel Vessels 20,000-40,000GT Lima Vessels 20,000-40,000GT Caution: Owing to the formation of the mountains backing Voltri, N winds are very violent in this vicinity. Tankers and vessels carrying dangerous cargoes: These vessels are permitted to anchor within Area Bravo or one of the lettered anchor berths for 48 hours only. Normally a vessel within this category, unable to reach a working berth within the period, will be required to depart the anchorage and await instructions outside Italian territorial waters. However in exceptional circumstances the port authority may permit an extension to the period at anchor. Mariners should note the arrival report for each vessel, required by the port captain, is subsequently used to plan vessel movements. Vessels carrying hydrocarbons or other dangerous cargoes are not permitted to conduct transfer or transhipment at anchor. Prohibited anchorage: Anchorage is prohibited in the approaches to Multedo Oil Terminal. Stopping in this area is also prohibited except in normal circumstances when approaching the revolving platform (SBM) or the harbour entrance. Tankers of more than 90,000t or more than 300m in length are prohibited from anchoring within an area enclosed by Diga Aeroporto, 44°23.5'N 008°49.3'E and Long 008°50'E. Anchoring is prohibited, due to the existence of submarine cables, within an area, extending S from Punt Vagno. The landing places of the cables are marked by the alignment of two pairs of beacons (yellow and black ball topmark with letter "T") bearing 012° and 330°. Several submarine pipelines extend up to 0.5nm seaward between Punta Vagno and a point approx 5nm E.

All entrances are approached from the S through a traffic separation scheme; the lanes lead through the outer anchorage area and berths. Controlling depths: Porto di Voltri. The Container Port entrance has a least depth of 20.8m. Porto Petroli. The approach channel to the oil basin has a least depth of 15.0m, with height restrictions for airport. Bocca de Levante (East entrance), the main entrance, has a least depth of 15.8m. Bocca de Ponente (West entrance) has a least depth of 14.7m, maximum draught accepted 10.0m, with height restrictions for airport. Multedo Isola SPM and SBM. The Isola SPM platform stands in a depth of 50m. The SBM is moored in a depth of 64.2m.

Airport airdraught restrictions: Access to channels, basins and berths adjacent to the Cristoforo Colombo Airport is subject to maximum masthead height restrictions as follows: Canale di Calma: 10m. Bacino Polcevera W side: 26m, E side: 31m. Ponte Ronco West: 37m, East: 52m. Ponte Canepa & Ponte Libia: 52m. There is also a traffic Air Obstruction Zone in operation with limits; ..... 44°25.6'N 008°45.2'E 44°22.8'N 008°43.7'E 44°20.6'N 008°55.0'E Red light at end of Mole Duca de Galliera There are two waypoints in positions: E T1 44°25.1'N 008°49.5'E F T2 44°24.7'N 008°48.2'E Within this zone vessels which are entering port take precedence over aircraft whilst vessels which are leaving port give way. Vessels with an airdraught exceeding 48m, oil or chemical tankers or any vessel with an airdraught over 14m transiting the approach channel to the oil berth; intending to enter the zone or before letting go mooring prior to departure must report on VHF Ch 12 or 16 to harbour pilots and port operations room. Tankers: Tankers are only permitted to berth or depart during the hours of daylight. Submarine cables: The following submarine power cables are laid in the harbour area: Between the light on the head of the inner E mole and the light on the spur 700m from the E head of the Molo Duca di Galliera; Between the light on the Calata Olii Mierali and the light on the Molo Duca di Galliera opposite; Between the light at the W end of Diga Aeroporto and the centre of the W end of the airport runway; Between No 36, 38, 39 and 40 Light Beacons (starboard hand) of the Porto Petoli approach channel and the N side of the airport reclamation.

Range 0.3m (spring), 0.1m (neap). A W'ly current exists outside the port. This current is also present in the Outer harbour, Lanterna and Sampierdarena basins. This current increases in strength during the Scirocco wind.

There is a Traffic Reporting Scheme in operation. Vessels should report to Genoa Radio on VHF Ch 16 or Ch 70 when passing positions: ..... A 44°22.7'N 008°35.0'E B 44°04.0'N 008°50.0'E C 44°03.0'N 009°19.0'E D 44°10.0'N 009°26.0'E E 44°19.0'N 009°09.0'E

There are 32 tugs available up to 16,000hp. Towage is not compulsory (at master's discretion). Service is available throughout 24 hours. Normally 0800-1700hrs, then overtime.

Prevailing winds: Winter N'ly, spring-autumn SE-SW'ly. During winter, the Tramontana (from N) often blows with violence, making it necessary for vessels to add to their moorings. The Scirocco (from SE) and Libeccio (from SW) cause a slight sea in the port.

NOTE: Special requirements for vessels entering and exiting Porto Petroli Di Genova Multedo exist. Contact the port for further information. ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ AIR OBSTRUCTION ZONE AREA: (1) An Air Obstruction Zone has been established bounded by the following positions: (a) 44°25.67N 8°45.22E (b) 44°22.88N 8°43.72E (c) 44°20.60N 8°55.00E (d) The red light at the E end of Molo Duca di Galliera (2) In addition, two waypoints (T1 and T2) have been established as follows: (a) T1: 44°25.17N 8°49.50E (b) T2: 44°24.72N 8°48.25E (3) The water area between T1 and T2 is the approach channel to Porto Petroli. PROCEDURE: (1) Within the Obstruction Zone vessels which are entering take precedence over air traffic, and vessels leaving port give precedence to air traffic, whether this traffic is landing or taking off, other than when such departing vessels have already passed point T1, in which case they have already entered the approach channel and therefore maintain the gained priority. (2) Masters intending to pass along the Obstruction Zone and which have an air draught exceeding 48m above sea level must, before entering the Zone or before beginning to let go their moorings in readiness for departure from the Port of Genova, report via VHF Ch 12 or 16 to the Harbour Pilots and to the operations room of the Hr Mr's Office.
