Nauru port is situated on an island of the same name, which is one of the Micronesian Islands of the central Pacific.

Approx 38,000DWT, 50,000t displacement. Max LOA 192m, beam 28.3m. There are no draught restrictions, however the max hatch height at the phosphate berth is 12.7m.

There are no anchorages available.

Vessels must not approach the port unless requested to do so. Caution: Close off the W side of the island, a current is usually experienced setting either N or S at a rate of up to 2kts. During W winds and for some time afterwards, a strong onshore set has been experienced and great caution is needed when manoeuvring close in, to avoid being set down on the buoys.

Vessels moored to the outer mooring buoys use ship's lines. Vessels may not be demobilised when secured to the mooring system as they may be required to depart, should adverse weather conditions become imminent.

Pilotage is compulsory and available in daylight hours only. When advised by radio, a vessel should close to 0.5nm W of the cantilever loading berths, where a pilot will board to supervise securing to the mooring system. The pilot boards the vessel with a mooring gang and mooring tackle. No ship's moorings are used. The pilot and mooring gang remain onboard during loading. The weather is very unpredictable and the vessel may be required to slip and sail at very short notice.

The port limits extend 0.5nm W of the island.

None.

A deep sea mooring system exists off the W side of the island, all vessels must keep well clear.

Range (springs) 2.1m, (neaps) 0.5m.

None.

Not available.

Prevailing winds: E'ly. Dec-Mar, W'ly winds may possibly cause delays. If the wind blows onshore with a force greater than a breeze, it is advised for vessels to leave the port.
