Pescara (ITPSR)

It is a small port for general, bulk cargo and passenger. The entrance is protected by a curved detached breakwater, 750m in length, lying almost E-W approx 0.2nm N of the mole heads at the entrance. The inner side of moles are quayed and the main cargo area lies on the S side, close within the river mouth. The N side is reserved for the fishing fleet and further upstream both river banks are quayed and used by fishing boats, yachts and small military craft.

Summer.

Pescara is situated on the Adriatic coast of Italy, approx 76nm S of Ancona.

LOA 150m, draught 5.0m.

There are two designated anchorage areas established off the port, centred, with positions from the head of Molo Nord (42°28.2'N 014°13.8'E): Dangerous cargoes (Area B) 2nm NE and mixed cargoes 2nm NNE.

From a position to seaward approx 1nm ENE of the entrance, the track leads WSW, passing (with positions from the monument (42°27.4'N 014°14.0'E): NNW of a light beacon (special) (0.9nm NE), then: SSE of the head of the detached breakwater (0.9nm N), from which a light (green column, 6m in height) is exhibited. Then, due to the narrow entrance, vessels should align with the axis (228°) of the entrance channel as soon as possible, bearing in mind the effect of the current in the vicinity. Caution: The harbour is subject to sudden and unexpected silting caused by debris brought down by the river. Dredging is regularly in progress. A road bridge spans the river approx 0.7nm WSW of the mole heads.
