Imperia (ITIMP)

Imperia is divided into the ports of Oneglia and Maurizio some 1.7km apart, of which the former offers the deepest accommodation. Wet and dry goods are handled such as general cargo, olive oil and cereal based foodstuffs. There are no specialised facilities for containers, these being worked with vessel's gear.

Summer.

Imperia is situated in N Italy, close to the border with Monaco.

Draught 8.5m.

Anchorages A, B and C may be obtained in depths of 12.0-24.0m. Anchorage A lies 0.9nm ENE, B lies 1nm S and C lies 0.4nm SW of Porto Maurizio S breakwater head. Anchorage A is restricted for vessels exceeding 10,000GT. Prohibited area: Between mid-April and the end of October, an area N of a line joining the heads of the inner moles at Bacino di Ponente and Bacino di Levante is reserved for water-skiing in daylight hours. The area is marked by buoys (white, red bands); navigation, anchorage and fishing are prohibited. Restricted areas: Vessels carrying, or which have carried, petroleum gas or chemical products are prohibited from navigating within the immediate area of the combined port. In addition anchoring and fishing is prohibited within 0.15nm of the outfall pipe extending 1nm offshore from the mouth of Torrente Impero.

The port is approached from the S altering course WNW or ENE as necessary. Access to Porto Maurizio is not difficult with depths of 7.0-10.0m at the entrance. From SW, pass not less than 300m clear of the head of the S mole, and alter course for the entrance as soon as it is well open. The N mole and Molo Baburro should not be approached within a distance of 40m. Directions for Oneglia with depths of 7.0-9.6m at the entrance: Keep slightly towards the SE side of the entrance, as the depths SW of the W mole are liable to decrease on account of the deposit brought down by Torrente Impero.

The S mole is marked at its head by a light structure (red column on pedestal) 5m in height, and by a light structure (white tower) 11m in height, standing 150m within the mole head. A mole, from the head of which a light is exhibited, projects 80m NNE from a point 0.15nm within the head of the S mole. Molo Baburro projects 25m NNE from the elbow of the S mole, and is marked at its head by a light structure (red mast) 4m in height. Bancono di Levante is protected by 2 moles. The head of the W mole is marked by a light structure (red truncated conical tower) 6m in height. The E mole head has on it a similar light structure (black bands).
