Pantelleria (ITPNL)

The port consists of two areas, Porto Vecchio, the E part and Porto Nuovo, the W part, divided by a central breakwater, Molo di Ponente. Porto Vecchio is protected from the N by Molo Nord; Porto Nuovo is protected from the W by an "L" shaped breakwater projecting from Punta della Croce. Cargoes exported include wine, dried fish and agricultural products. Daily overnight and hydrofoil ferry services to Trapani, Sicily.

Pantelleria is situated on the NW coast of an island of the same name, off the SW coast of Sicily.

Draught 7.0m.

A good berth is on a line joining the outermost above water rocks off Punta San Leonardo and the head of Molo Cidonio, with the flagstaff on Castello Relegati in line with the head of Molo di Ponente. The bottom is sand and rock. In calm weather, the bottom is visible, and a sandy spot should be selected. Anchorage in the harbour is dangerous with winds between W and NE. Vessels waiting to enter the port must anchor in one of the designated anchorages. Anchorages, radius of 0.4nm, are scattered around the island as follows: ..... A1 36°50.3'N 011°55.4'E A2 36°50.4'N 011°55.9'E A3 36°49.9'N 011°59.1'E A4 36°47.2'N 012°03.5'E A5 36°44.8'N 012°02.8'E A6 36°47.3'N 012°56.4'E

The port is entered between Punta San Leonardo and Punta della Croce, 0.55nm SW, controlling depth is 6.0m in the entrance. The entrance to Porto Vecchio is approx 45m wide and lies between a framework structure which marks the remains of an ancient breakwater and Molo Nord. A wreck lies off the head of Molo Cidonio and rocks lie in the entrance to Porto Nuovo. Passage into Porto Nuovo is dangerous due to shoals and obstructions.
