Salalah (OMSLL)

Port Raysut (Mina Raysut) is an alternative name for Salalah.

Tropical.

The Port of Salalah is located on the S coast of Oman, approx 20km SW of the city.

Max LOA 399.99m, beam 61.51m, draught 17.5m and 272,373DWT.

Approx 20,500,000t of cargo, 3,800,000TEUs, 3,000 vessels, and 30,000 passengers handled annually.

Vessels should anchor within the area enclosed by the following positions: Area "A" for inbound vessels requiring berth space alongside the port. ..... 16°56.5'N 054°02.0'E 16°56.5'N 054°04.0'E 16°55.5'N 054°04.0'E 16°55.5'N 054°02.0'E Area "B" for vessels requiring offshore services. ..... 16°55.5'N 054°04.0'E 16°55.5'N 054°02.0'E 16°55.0'N 054°02.0'E 16°55.0'N 054°04.0'E Area "C" for bunker/bunkering vessels, hazardous cargo vessels and ship to ship operations. ..... 16°55.0'N 054°02.0'E 16°55.0'N 054°04.0'E 16°54.0'N 054°04.0'E 16°54.0'N 054°02.0'E Area "D" for inbound large vessels waiting to be berthed. ..... 16°56.0'N 054°04.0'E 16°56.0'N 054°05.4'E 16°54.0'N 054°04.0'E 16°54.0'N 054°05.4'E Depths within these anchorage areas vary between approx 23.0m and 42m; the anchorage is reported to have good holding except during the SW monsoon. Generally good anchorage may be obtained, approx 0.8nm off the coast, between Mina Raysut (16°56.0'N., 054°01.0'E) and Ra's Marbat (39nm E) in depths of less than 10.0m and 13.0m. There is usually surf breaking along this beach even in calm weather. A Contingency Anchorage may be used in case of an emergency and the North Anchorage may be used for vessels with an LOA under 150m and a draught of 9.0m or less. Prohibited anchorage: Within two square miles in front of the Royal Palace towards the sea is prohibited either for entry or for anchorage. The area is bounded by the meridians of 054°04.0'E and 054°08.0'E and the parallel of 16° 58.0'N and the foreshore.

Salalah is entered from NE between East Breakwater and the Container Terminal. Vessels approaching from the fairway pass between a pair of lightbuoys (port and starboard) and then between the head of East Breakwater and a lightbuoy 0.2nm NW. The approach channel has a depth of 18.5-20.0m with depth alongside Berth Nos 5 and 6 of 18.0m. The inner part of the harbour basin is dredged to a depth of 16.0m. It is worth noting that deep water may be found, close inshore to the W, however, depths of less than 10.0m may be found 1.3nm off the coast at the E side. The turning basin has a diameter of 800m. Channel Leading Lights: The leading line, bearing, 267°, on the centre of the overlap of the white sector of the N Channel Lead Light (16°56.9'N., 054° 00.6'E), exhibited from the E end of the Container Terminal and the white sector of the S Channel Lead Light (close SSE). This line of bearing leads through the entrance channel. Caution: It is reported that a current sets across the harbour entrance from S to N which should be carefully monitored during the monsoon period.

All vessels calling at Salalah should comply with the minimum mooring arrangements as follows: 3 head lines, 2 breast lines, 2 springs, forward and aft. Vessels shall use adequate mooring ropes to safeguard the ship. Mooring ropes must be in good condition, vessel may be asked to renew any if damaged or unsuitable. Vessels moored at the port should take note of the following: ..... 1. A safe well rigged accommodation ladder to the quay to be provided, adequately lit between sunset and sunrise and attended at all times by a competent quartermaster or watchman who will also watch over persons boarding and disembarking. 2. Careful attention to be given to the adjustment of the mooring lines as necessary. 3. Adequate rat guards are fitted to all mooring ropes, lines, and wires. 4. Lines are rigged overside fore and aft on the outboard side of the ship so that tugs may secure at any time. No vessel shall test their engines when moored alongside at the port premises without first obtaining the permission in writing of the Harbour Master. All vessels moored shall be safely ballasted at all times.

Pilotage is compulsory for vessels over 200GT and is available throughout 24 hours. Pilotage and tugs may be required when the manoeuvring vessel in a ship-to-ship berthing/unberthing operation has a length of 170m or longer and is without bow thrusters. Activation time for the service is approx 30mins. Pilots may board from launch or tug and are available throughout 24 hours. Pilots can be provided at 1 hour notice. Pilot boards in position 16°56.8'N., 54°05.0'E, 3.25nm E of the Breakwater Light or as directed by Salalah Port Control. ETD should be advised 30 minutes prior to departure.

Port of Salalah limits extend from the highest point of the high tide where the point intersects the coast at 054° 04.00' E; the limits then extend S intersecting the line 16° 58' N and then extend E to the point intersecting 054° 05.40’ E; the limits further extend S of the point intersecting 16° 54.00’ N and extend W 053° 58.00’ E; the limits continue to extend N to the point intersecting the coastline and follow the coast to the original start point. The Port Authority operates and is under the administrative control off all the following: wharves, quays, piers, landing places, docks, storage areas, roads and buildings.

A radio mast (17°17.0'N., 054°05.0'E) (152m high; red obstruction lights) stands at an elevation of 1,039m about 21nm NNE of the port. A radio mast (16°59.6'N., 054°01.8'E) (red obstruction lights) stands near the coast W of Khawr Awqad; a radio tower (red obstruction lights) stands just over 1km NNE. A further radio tower (16°56.3'N., 053°58.9'E) (red obstruction lights) stands W of the main port area. Three radio masts (16°59.8'N., 054°04.8'E) (25m high) stand near the foreshore in front of Salalah, W of a group of conspicuous white building. Port Salalah E Breakwater Head Light (16°56.8'N., 054°00.9'E) (red metal mast) is exhibited from the outer end of the main breakwater. Fairway Light Buoy (safe water) 16°56.9'N., 054°04.3E. Container terminal light; green beacon, 16°56.1'N., 054°01.2'E on the E side of quay. Directional lights mark the Main Channel and the Inner Channel.

The maximum speed for vessels within the harbour is 5kts. During monsoon season, operations will be suspended under the following circumstances: ..... 1. Wind speed exceed 25kts. 2. Swell exceeds 1.8m. 3. Visibility less than 500m. Caution must be taken as there are two wrecks, close to the shoreline, which lie 2.6nm and 6.9nm W of the port. It is worth noting that the direct communication must be in clear English or Arabic between the vessel and the port via VHF. In the event that this is not possible, the vessel must remain in anchorage until suitable voice communications are made and rearranged. Wave recorder buoys are moored within 1.3nm SE of the E breakwater head. Further buoys are located within the vicinity of the port and the approaches, in the event of construction work to the port they may be moved or changed. As a result, vessels are required to consult with the local authorities for the latest info anf navigate with caution. Numerous fishing buoys may be located throughout the approach to the port and as a result caution must be taken and will have to manoeuvre around them. There are also numerous dhows and small recreational vessels that may be anchored N of the approach as well as the approach channel to the port. A prohibited area lies NE of Mina Raysut, on the N side of Bandar Raysut. Vessels are prohibited to enter the zone. Depths vary throughout the harbour basin including ones as little as 8.0m which extend to approx 275 yards NW from the oil pier to the Lighted Buoy No. 2.

Range averages 1.0 - 2.0m; MHWN 0.3m. During the monsoon season (Jun-Aug) waves rise to 4.0m at max.

Vessels leaving the port shall have the right of way over vessels entering.

There are 4 x 55t bollard pull tugs available. Two tugs are compulsory for berthing/unberthing vessels of LOA 70.0m and above carrying hazardous cargo in bulk.

Prevailing winds: Monsoon wind blows SW'ly from mid Jun through to about mid Oct, direction 230°, speed max 5-20kts. Waves can reach 4m. Temperatures: Nov - Mar: Winter, temperatures approx 24°-34°C (cool evenings); Mar - May: Spring, temperatures approx high 20°C's to high 30°C's; Jun - Aug: Summer, very hot, up to 50°C and very humid. It is reported that dense fog prevails in the outer port area during the SW monsoon. The monsoon creates a swell both within and outside the harbour, in the latter case, making working difficult.
