There is an offshore waiting anchorage near to Rajang. Tanjung Port Area: A restricted area, which is an anchorage for vessels loading timber from the barges in STS operation, extends across the fairway in the approaches to Tanjung Manis. Prior approval must be obtained before entry into the area; for merchant vessels this is normally obtained by the ship's agent. The anchorage has a minimum depth of 9.1m and capacity for 10 ships.

The approach to the port is via the Rajang River, 30km from the Fairway Buoy. Vessels up to 9.0m draught have crossed the bar at Kuala Rajang, but this draught will only permit access to the deep water anchorage at Tanjung Manis. The position of the buoys including the Fairway Lightbuoy in the vicinity of the Kuala bar are subject to movement due to changes in the depths and it is recommended that the advise of the Pilotage Authority is sought before entering.
