Porto Torres (ITPTO)

The port is protected by two breakwaters, Molo di Levante and Molo di Ponente, and consists of two areas; Porto Commerciale, a complex of basins lying to the E of Molo di Ponente, and Porto Industriale, a much larger area protected by Diga Foranea, to the W of Molo di Ponente. The port can accommodate the following vessels in the port: bulk liquids and solids, Ro-Ro and passenger ferries, fishing boats and coasters.

Summer Zone for ships over 100m in length and Winter Seasonal Area for ships 100m or less in length, Winter Dec 16 to Mar 15, Summer Mar 16 to Dec 15.

Porto Torres is located facing the Golfo Dell' Asinara in NW Sardinia.

LOA 235m, beam 38m, draught 14m, 95,444DWT.

Approx 2,800,000t of cargo (including 1,400,000t of coal) and 800,000 passengers handled annually.

Arriving vessels may wait or anchor in two designated areas in the NE approaches to the port, with positions relative to the head of Moli di Ponente (40°50.9'N 008°24.0'E): ..... Balai 1 Centred 2nm NE. Vessels under controls imposed by the port authority, awaiting a berth for loading or unloading Balai 2 Centred 2.5nm NE. Vessels awaiting the outcome of examinations. Anchorage in these areas may be insecure, especially in winter and with winds from NW to NE. Anchorage may be obtained in depths of approx 20m sand, 0.5nm NE of Molo di Levante. The anchorage becomes untenable with onshore winds and vessels should shift berth to Isola Asinara. Prohibited anchorages: A restricted area within which navigation is regulated and within which anchoring and fishing are prohibited is established in the port approaches, centred 1.5nm N of Molo di Ponente. Except for authorised vessels, navigation, anchoring and fishing is also prohibited in a second restricted area extending WNW from the head of Molo di Ponente and passing N of Diga Foranea, then WSW to the shore.

The port is approached from the N through Golfo dell'Asinara. Porto Industriale, the W part of the port, is entered between the head of Diga Forenea (40°51.1'N 008°23.1'E) and Molo di Ponente, 0.7nm ESE. Porto Commerciale forms the E part of the port; Avamporto, the main basin of this area, is entered between the heads of Molo di Ponente and Molo di Lavante, 0.2nm S. No sea buoys.

At anchorage point "Balai 1".

Porto Torres Main Light is exhibited from a white tower on a white dwelling, 20m in height, 0.2nm S of the harbour, the light may not be visible against the bright lights of the industrial area when approaching from the E. The harbour master's office, a red coloured building in the SE part of the harbour, may also be identified as may the two 40t loading gantries on the Molo di Levante. Two chimneys associated with the ENEL power station, situated W of the port are conspicuous.

Berthing and unberthing of tankers is restricted to daylight hours only, possible exceptions in favourable weather at the harbour master's discretion. Navigation and anchoring are prohibited, except for authorised vessels, in the area, extending 2nm N of the entrances to the port.

Mean spring range is approx 0.3m.

Three tugs are available. Tugs work from 0700-2000hrs. Tugs are compulsory for vessels carrying dangerous cargoes, vessels over 20 years old and when wind speed exceeds 25kts.
