Risavika (NORIV)

Port facilities exist all around the bay for handling general cargo, the offshore industry and the Shell oil refinery.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Risavika is a bay on the SW coast of Norway, approx 5nm SW of Stavanger.

LOA 265m, beam 44m, draught 15.8m, 134,000DWT.

Risavika provides a good anchorage over a sand and clay bottom. Strong NW'ly winds send in a considerable swell. While anchoring, vessels must take care not to interfere with vessels mooring at the oil refinery in the SW part of the bay. Anchorage can be taken in Tananger, in depths of 6.9m - 9.1m, sand and clay. Mooring buoys are also available.

Risavika is entered between Laksholmbaen (58°55.7'N 005°34.3'E), a rock marked by a metal light column close N of Laksholmen, and Tangen 0.2nm NE.

BA 1427. Admiralty Pilot 57A, NP 286(2).

Use of pilot on vessels to and from Risavika Bay, carrying dangerous or polluting cargo, is compulsory for all non Norwegian (non Norwegian Flag) registered vessels of 50GT and above. The sea pilot, who also acts as a harbour pilot, will board arriving vessels off Feistein Lighthouse in position 58°50'N 005°26'E. A combination of an accommodation ladder and pilot ladder in accordance with Solas regulations must be used for pilot boarding/disembarking. Pilot hoists are not acceptable, and the pilot may refuse to board if one is offered. The pilots require 24, 4 and 2 hours notice before arrival. The pilot cutter is white with orange superstructure and marked "LOS". For vessels departure the pilots require 2 hours notice.

Awaiting berth/daylight navigation: The pilot will give instructions on VHF. Any vessels above 40,000DWT and with a draught exceeding 10m, normally berth and unberth only during daylight hours.

Mean range 0.4m, spring range 0.5m

Tugs are normally available up to 2,700bhp, 35t bollard pull. Tugs must be ordered in advance. If weather conditions are near or above the port's limits, the Master, Pilot and Shell will decide if more tug assistance is needed, or if the berthing operation must be postponed. The following is taken into consideration: Wind force, wind direction, sea and swell, etc.

Prevailing winds: Apr to Oct: NW'ly. Oct to Apr: SW'ly.
