The TSS extends about 3.5nm SW of the Approach Light Buoy, the separation zone widening from 2nm at its NE end to 6nm at its SW end as charted. Inbound traffic should keep to the SE side of the separation zone and follow a general direction of 040°. Outbound traffic, on the NW side of the separation zone, follows a general direction of 240°.

Tugs are available and are compulsory for berthing alongside.

Rainy season begins in June and ends in November. Dry season typically lasts from December to May.
