Zueitina (LYZUE)

Zueitina consists of offshore loading berths for oil tankers and LPG carriers. The main cargoes handled are crude oil, naphtha, butane and propane. The LPG berth, because of its location, experiences different weather conditions and may be closed due to swell conditions when the crude berths are open.

Summer.

Zueitina is situated approx 130km S of Benghazi.

Alongside: LPG carriers LOA 160m, draught 8.7m. SBM: Oil tankers up to draught 20.0m, 275,000DWT.

As advised by the Marine Office. Vessels awaiting a berth, anchor approx 1nm SE of the Fairway Buoy in depths of approx 30m. Holding ground is moderate to poor. During the winter strong NW'ly gales may set up heavy seas and swells, which may make the berths untenable. Prohibited anchorage is in the approaches to the oil loading berths and vessels should not anchor S of Lat 30°54'N.

Approach and entry: From the Approach Reporting Point (32°43'N, 019°06'E) the direct track leads SSE for about 117nm to the pilot boarding place near Fairway Lightbuoy or the large vessel anchorage. However, vessels must keep clear of the Firing Danger Area, shown on the chart, centred 50nm NW of Zueitina. The chart is sufficient guide. From a position in the vicinity of the Fairway Lightbuoy the approach to the LPG Berth is made on the alignment (135°) of the leading lights.
