Torre Annunziata (ITTOA)

The port is sheltered within two breakwaters from all but SE'ly winds which may cause a build up of surf inside the harbour. The port handles general cargo, dry bulk and liquid cargo. Larger vessels can discharge at anchor in the roads, lighters are available from Naples. Vessels' services generally arrive via Naples where there are also a number of agencies.

Summer.

Torre Annunziata is situated approx 16km SE of Naples.

Draught 8.7m

Anchorage is obtainable off Torre Annunziata in depths of more than 10.0m, sand, good holding ground. Vessels berthed stern-on to Molo di Ponente are advised to drop 2 anchors well apart and to use plenty of cable, as SSE and SW winds raise a sea, and the holding ground is not good. Sterns must be secured at least 20m clear of the quay.

Torre Annunziata is approached from the S through Rada di Castellammare di Stabia and entered NE of Molo Ponente Head. The entrance to the harbour between the mole heads is narrowed by a bank with depths of less than 5.5m over it which extends 150m SW of the head of Molo di Levante, and is marked by a light beacon (starboard hand; radar reflector). A shellfish bed is situated close SW of the elbow on Molo di Ponente. Its outer corners are marked by a buoy and a lightbuoy (both special). Entry into this area is prohibited. Mooring buoys are situated 300m WNW and 240m N, of the light structure on Molo di Levante. Darsena di Ponente is situated in the N part of the harbour and is protected by a mole extending E from the NW shore. A light is exhibited from a red post on the mole head.

Compulsory for vessels over 500GT. Pilotage is available from 0700-1900hrs. Pilot boards 0.5nm S of the entrance breakwater (vessels required to anchor should call the harbour master on VHF Ch 16 for permission).

Molo di Ponente projects 370m SSE from the coast near the W end of the town. At its head stands a light structure (red metal column on a pedestal) 6m in height. Molo di Levante extends 280m SW from the NE side of the harbour.

Vessels over 80m in length are not permitted to enter port at night.

Range 0.3m. Current: A NW or W current sets along this part of the coast and normally has a maximum rate of 1.5kts. A strong E wind will increase the rate appreciably. Sea breezes set up an E current which causes the costal current to set towards Castellammare di Stabia at a rate of approx 1kt. Strong W or SW winds will increase the rate.

Available from Naples through local agent or harbour master.

Prevailing winds: NW'ly. With a strong SSE or SW wind Molo di Levante is subject to heavy swell. In SW gales waves may break over Molo di Ponente. With a strong NW wind berthing or unberthing becomes dangerous. The harbour waters are sometimes noticeably disturbed approx 2 hours before the onset of strong SE winds.
