Bonny Inshore Terminal (NGBON)

The Bonny Inshore Terminal, located on Bonny Island, is used as a bulk liquid facility for condensate, LNG and LPG products. The port is made up of two terminals including the NLNG Plant. The plant is a benchmark around the world and currently operates six trains with plans for a seventh. The plant, operational from 1999, currently has an LNG production capacity of 22mtpa and a LPG production capacity of 5mtpa. As a result of the limitations within the Bonny River, ship to ship transfers are regularly carried out in the Bonny inner anchorage to enable vessels to sail up to Onne Port and Port Harcourt.

Tropical.

Bonny Inshore Terminals are situated on the E bank of the Bonny River, Bonny Island, S of Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

Max LOA 300.00m, beam 52.0m, draught 13.40m and 120,000DWT.

Anchorage may be obtained in depths in 17-19m, centred approx 4nm W of the outer fairway lighted buoy. Once anchored, vessels are required to report their date and time of arrival to the port authority via VHF. Anchorage may also be obtained off the old entrance of Cawthorne Channel; there is generally a refreshing sea breeze here but vessels should not anchor close to the entrance. Anchorage for discharging oil products into coastal tankers may be obtained off Allan Point N of Lat 04°30'N, under supervision of Bonny River pilots. Prohibited anchorage areas are established: Across the channel near the tanker moorings. Within 0.25nm of the submarine oil pipeline laid across the river 1nm N of Bonny Town. Near the pipeline extending 10nm NE from the tanker moorings to Opobo Creek.

Having made the Fairway Buoy (04°12'N., 007°00'E), which is 2nm NE of the pilot boarding position for vessels handling LNG and condensates, and 0.7nm SW of the boarding position for other vessels, the normal track leads NNE to enter the buoyed channel between Nos 1 and 2 Lightbuoys, then through the buoyed channel to cross the bar. There is a dredged channel, 15km in length with a width of 215m in the seaward channel, which then opens to 296m at No 21 and 22 Buoys, 389m at No 23 and 24 Buoys and 482m at No 25 and 26 Buoys. The channel is dredged to a depth of 12.5m. The channel is liable to silting. On clearing the NE end of the buoyed channel between Nos 19 and 20 Lightbuoys a small course alteration to port is required to continue up the channel to No 25 and 26 Buoys. Upon clearing these buoys the vessel may then proceed to the berth or anchorage.

BA 3287, 3286. Admiralty Pilot NP1, NP286(8).

1015-1020.

Vessels may berth on either the flood or ebb tide. The tide must be stemmed whilst berthing. Vessels may berth from 40 mins before HW and LW, to 40 minutes after HW and LW. It is generally preferred to berth portside to.

Compulsory from Bonny Fairway Buoy and available throughout 24hrs. Pilotage is necessary for both inbound and outbound vessels for Bonny Inshore Terminal. ..... Pilots board in the following positions: 1.5nm SW of Fairway Lightbuoy LNG and Condensates 0.5nm SW of No 1 Lightbuoy Other Vessels Pilots should be requested via the vessel's agent for both inbound and outbound passages from Bonny Inshore Oil Terminal Maritime Operations. ETA should be advised 12 hours prior to arrival and any amendments no later than 4 hours prior to arrival.

Port limits are bounded by the parallels of 04°23'N and 04°30'N and by the meridians of 007°00'E and 007°15'E.

Fairway and lighted buoys are located through the channel.

The max depth within Bonny River of which a vessel can load is governed by the datum depth in the channel, the height of tide and the UKC allowed. A Restricted Entry Zone surrounds the berths associated with the port, prior permission must be granted. Caution must be taken as a stranded wreck is located in close proximity to the BRT Berth. It is reported that the wreck is located at the NE extremity of the dolphin berth. Further caution is needed as the depth changes to 8.5m and silting is evident to the SW of the berth. Extreme depth variation and silting is consistent throughout the Niger Delta, Bonny River and its various tributaries, basins, and dredged channels. Master must be aware that the actual depths may significantly differ from the chart and as a result are advised to contact local authorities for the latest information.

Range 2.0m average and tide is variable. The UKC is dependant on the time of the year and is linked to the height of the swell expected to be encountered in the river channel. MHWS 2.9m and MHWN 1.9.

All vessels transiting the Bonny River should report to Bonny Signal Station on VHF as follows: ..... Vessels Inbound: 1. Prior to entering the channel at the Fairway Buoy. 2. On leaving the narrow channel at Lighted Buoy No 22. Vessels Outbound: 1. Intended ETD should be reported at least 2 hours before departing the berth. 2. Before entering the narrow channel at Lighted Buoy No 22. 3. On leaving the channel at the Fairway Lightbuoy.

Available and used to assist with berthing.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly. Rain: The rainy season lasts from May-Oct and during such time the max vessels allowed will be reviewed.
