Napier (NZNPE)

Napier is an artificial harbour formed by a 1,500m breakwater on the E and N sides, with a breakwater and reclamation on the western side. The Port of Napier has 8 overseas berths. Direct road and rail links mean that the port of Napier is well placed to handle cargo from the South as well as the North Island. Principal imports: Petroleum products, phosphate, sulphur, fertilisers, steel, cement, motor vehicles, machinery and general cargo. Principal exports: Meat, wool, hides, tallow, timber, woodpulp, woodchips, logs, fruit, vegetables, sulphuric acid and general cargo.

Summer.

Napier is located on the E side of North Island, on the SW coast of Hawke's Bay.

LOA 348m, draught 11.3m, beam 42.8m, 80,454DWT

Approximate 5,400,000t of cargo, 250,000TEU , 500 vessels and 110,000 passengers are handled annually.

Anchor berths: Berth No 01 (39°27.1'S 176°58.9'E), depth 21.0m, fine sand and mud, approx 1.75nm ENE of Breakwater Harbour, on the alignment of Southern Leading Lights. Berth No 02 (39°24.4'S 176°58.3'E), depth 21.0m, fine sand and mud, approx 4.75nm NE of Breakwater Harbour, on the alignment of Northern Leading Lights. Quarantine anchorage is available at Anchor Berth No 01. The anchorages are often affected by swell, which is heavy, even with offshore winds. Napier Roads, situated NW of Breakwater Harbour and N of the Inner Harbour, is unsuitable as an anchorage because the sea breaks heavily there during N and E winds.

From the N and S: Keep at least 5nm off any charted danger and then to the Pilot Station. Vessels with a draught less than 7.3m approach the port S of South Pania Buoy at the southern end of Pania Reef. If draught is over 7.3m or LOA greater than 200m vessels approach N of North Pania Buoy to the N of Pania Reef and then down the W side of Pania Reef to the fairway. This channel is 300m in width increasing to 340m in width at the turn into the harbour. The outer fairway has a depth of 12.0m and the basin has a depth of 11.0m.
