Gisborne (NZGIS)

Gisborne is the former name for Eastland Port.

Summer.

Eastland Port is situated on the E coast of New Zealand's North Island in the northern corner of Poverty Bay.

LOA 184.75m, beam 32.2m, draught 10.0m, 42,541DWT.

Approx. 2,410,000t of cargo and 100 vessels handled annually.

Recommended anchorage is at Poverty Bay. The N part of Poverty Bay comprises Gisborne Roads, which is available but no longer used. The roadstead is exposed to SE winds which, even when light, send in a heavy sea. Vessels should remain at immediate notice to shift berth and, if the bay becomes rough, get under way. Deep draught vessels can anchor in a depth of 20.0m, fine sand with Tuaheni Point Light (38°42.1'S 178°03.9'E) bearing 084° distance 3.1nm. This anchorage is available but is not usually used. Prohibited anchorage exist within 1.5nm radius of Easland Harbour Front Leading Light (38°40.5'S 178°59.3'E) and in the vicinity of a submarine pipeline, which extends 0.6nm SW from a position on the shore, 1nm SE of S Breakwater Head Light (38°40.7'S 178°01.1'E).

Voluntary Code: (Refer to "Country Information"). ..... 1. From the N: Proceed to the E of Ariel Bank keeping 5nm off the charted dangers to the SE of the Bank, then to a position 3.4nm due E of Young Nicks Head, then to the Pilot Station. 2. Alternatively: Pass midway between Ariel Bank and Monowai Rocks, then at least 4nm off Tuahini Point and then to the Pilot Station. 3. From the S: Keep at least 5nm off Table Cape and then to the Pilot Station. Directions: The harbour is approached through Poverty Bay and entered by a channel dredged to 10.1m, which passes NW of the foul grounds (38°41.3'S 178° 00.5'E), then into the harbour between the breakwaters. The depth on the bar has been dredged to 10.5m, channel length 1nm with a width of 92.4m. Note: Due to maintenance dredging, the current depth should be obtained from the port authority. Caution: Long period swells can significantly reduce under keel clearance in the approaches, mariners should proceed with caution when such swell conditions are experienced.

Vessels are recommended to berth bows SW. Once in the turning basin, vessels are turned through 180° and moved astern to either Berths No 6, 7 or 8, portside alongside, with tugs assisting. Swell sometimes causes vessels to surge alongside but suitable berthing hawsers are provided by the port authorities. The max wind speed for berthing is basically 15kts depending on direction, the size, configuration and freeboard of the vessel.

The pilotage district is bounded seaward by the arc of a circle, radius 3nm, centred on the S end of Butlers Wall (38°40.6'S 178°01.2'E). Compulsory for vessels over 100GT. A request for a pilot should be made, if possible, 24 hours prior to arrival or before 1600hrs on Fri, in case such ETA should fall between 1700hrs on Fri and 0800hrs on the following Mon, contact should also be made 1 hour prior to boarding time. The pilot boarding position is located 38°43.56’S 178°01.52’E.

All the area of water inside a line drawn from the E most point of Young Nicks Head to Tuahine Point, or anchorage 38°43.8'S 177°58.6'E. Port waters include Turanganui River, but not other rivers.

Tuahene Point: A flashing white light, Fl 8s, with nominal range 15nm, is situated approx 0.45nm NNW of Tuahini Point at an elevation of 128m. A disused light tower is situated near the extremity of the point. Tokomaru Rock: A starboard hand buoy (Fl G 2s) is situated in position 38° 41.2'S 178°00.4'E. This buoy marks the entrance channel to the harbour at the NW end of the foul ground near the Te Moana Rocks. Waihora Rocks Buoy: An isolated danger buoy (pillar buoy black with one red band, topmark 2 black balls), situated in position 38°42.3'S 178°01.6'E. This marks an outcrop of rocks with least depth 2.74m. Te Moana Rocks: A south cardinal buoy (pillar, black with one red band, topmark 2 black cones apex down) situated at the extremity of the foul grounds in position 38°41.6'S 187°00.4'E. The buoy is near the Te Moana Rocks. Outer Harbour leading light and beacons: Front light: A fixed green neon light, nominal range 7nm, visible 242° through N to 062° (arc 180°). This is exhibited at an elevation of 12m, from a steel lattice work tower 10.1m in height, fitted with a triangular daymark, apex up, orange/red with a black vertical stripe, situated approx 278° x 1.5nm from the Breakwater Light. Rear light: A fixed green neon light, nominal range 7nm, visible 242° through N to 062°, is exhibited at an elevation of 21m from a steel lattice work tower 20m in height. It is fitted with a triangular daymark, apex down, orange/red with a black vertical stripe, situated approx 0.2nm to the rear of the front light beacon. These beacons in line bear 332° and lead to the harbour entrance leads. Harbour Navigational Aids: Breakwater Light, Fl 2s, 6.7m in height, nominal range 5nm, is exhibited from a white steel tower situated on the end of the breakwater. The arc of visibility is from 349° through N to 236°. Inner Harbour Leading Lights: Two black steel towers surmounted with triangular daymarks (front daymark apex up, rear daymark apex down), orange/red with a black vertical stripe. The rear beacon exhibits a fixed green neon light. The front light consists of a PEL navigation light which is visible over an arc of 25°, from 044°-069°. This light is divided into sectors, the sector from 044°-050.6° is red and includes the Tokomaru Rocks area. The sector from 050.6°-053° is white. From 053°-056.2° is green and the centre of this sector is the leading lights 054°35'. From 056.2°-064.8° is another red sector and from 064.8°-069° is a white sector.

Vessels with an LOA greater than 180m, are permitted to berth in daylight only, subject to pilot's discretion. Vessels less than 5.6m draught are handled at any stage of the tide. Woodchip vessels berth in daylight only, unless special circumstances apply.

Neaps 1.22m, springs 1.37m. In Poverty Bay the tidal streams are barely perceptible, the S going stream circulates anti clockwise around the bay with an eddy in the reverse direction close of the N shore.

The signal station should be contacted approx 30 minutes prior to pilot boarding time, with instructions regarding pilot ladders, etc.

Two tugs are available, one is equipped for fire fighting. Tugs join outside the breakwaters. ..... Name Gross Tons Power (bhp) Bollard Pull (t) Titirangi 75 1,200 30.0 Turihaua 140 1,250 16.5
