Zuara is situated 120km W of Tripoli, close to the Tunisian border.

Floating Jetty (S): Draught 5.0m.

The anchorage area for vessels awaiting a berth is within 1nm of 32°57'N 012° 10.5'E. Anchorage may be obtained in depths from 6.9-9.1m, mud, with the N mole head bearing approx 213°. A vessel anchoring in Libyan roadsteads during the winter season is recommended to leave the anchorage, used by day for working cargo and anchor farther out for the night as at that time of year there are strong winds, and occasionally gales, from NW. All vessels must anchor as instructed by the port authority, and must not shift berth except on the instruction of the port authority.

The port is approached by a channel 1,000m in length which is protected by 2 breakwaters. Approach reporting point: Vessels approaching Zuara must pass through the Approach Reporting Point (33°03'N 012°15'E), as shown on the chart. For details of Approach Reporting Point see Country Marine Information. Entry: From the Approach Reporting Point the track leads SW for about 10nm, passing (with positions from Zuara Main Light (32°55'N 012°07'E): SE of a dangerous wreck (4.5nm N), then: Clear of a lightbuoy (special, spherical) (2nm NE) then: Clear of the Fairway Lightbuoy (safe water) (1nm ENE). A buoyed channel leads SW for about 0.45nm and then WNW for a further 0.35nm to enter the harbour between the end of the N mole, from where a light (metal framework tower on white hut) is exhibited, and the elbow of the S mole from where a light is also exhibited.
