Callao (PECLL)

Callao, the major port of Peru, is enclosed and protected by two breakwaters, with berths handling approx 70% of Peruvian foreign trade cargo. Impala Terminals have built a new Minerals Pier within the port, with a covered, overhead conveyor 3.75m in length, for the export of zinc and lead. Imports: Maize, rice, wheat, fuel, sugar, grain, solid fuel, motor vehicles and spare parts, vegetable oils, cereals, iron and steel, dried chemicals, liquid chemicals, gas and liquefied products, wheat flour. Exports: Zinc, lead, barium sulphate, petroleum products, wood, minerals and metals, fish oil, copper, coffee, fishmeal, textiles and textures.

Tropical.

Callao is approx 15km from the capital Lima.

Harbour: Draught 14.5m, LOA 368.5m, beam 51.2m, 165,977DWT. Offshore: Draught 11.5m, LOA 230.1m, 58,811DWT.

Approx. 52,500,000t of cargo, 2,500,000TEU and 3,500 vessels are handled annually.

An Official anchorage has been established at: ..... Latitude Longitude 12°02.0'S 077°11.6'W 12°02.3'S 077°10.7'W 12°01.1'S 077°11.7'W 12°01.7'S 077°10.5'W Other anchorage areas (with centres referred to the harbour entrance): 1. Merchant vessels and general cargo (3nm NNW). 2. Fishing vessels/dredgers greater than 350GT (2.75nm N). 3. Fishing vessels from 10GT to 350GT (2nm NNE), (two dangerous wrecks lie in the area). 4. Harbour vessels (barges, tugboat's, lightering vessels) (2.5nm NNE). 5. Laid up merchant vessels (3.5nm N). 6. Fishing vessels (4.5nm NNE), (two dangerous wrecks lie in the area). 7. Nuclear powered vessels etc (4.75nm N). 8. Tankers and hazardous cargoes (4nm NNW). 9. Pilot waiting area (2.75nm NNW). 10. Vessels awaiting disposal (3.5nm NNE), (a dangerous wreck lies in the SW of the area. 11. Safety and quarantine (5.25nm NNW) 12. Ships awaiting to be scrapped (4.25nm NE) 13. Emergency (5.75nm NW) 14. Anchorage areas A - C for small craft and local authority vessels. 15. Anchorage Ares D - F used by tugs, freight and passenger vessels. Within port limits, anchorage can be used for the discharge of livestock, scrap and occasionally for general cargo after permission has been obtained from the Port Authority.

The port is approached through a traffic separation scheme, NW of Isla San Lorenzo (12°05.0'S 077°14.0'W) and entered between breakwaters. From the pilot boarding area, the entrance channel, marked by lightbuoys, leads towards the breakwater heads. The entrance is 150m wide, depth 16.0m. The ends of the N and S breakwaters are 150m apart but the passage between them is only 70m wide. (APM Terminal Pier 11 and Pier Area 5D have alongside depths of 15.5m). Inside the harbour entrance there is ample room for manoeuvring in the harbour with depth of 14m in the turning basin. A restricted area, lies SW of the entrance. Leading lights: Front light (red vertical rectangle on building) (12°03.0'S 077°08.6'W). Rear light (similar structure) (245nm from front light). The alignment (099°) of the above lights leads from a position to seaward, about 1.25nm WNW of the breakwater entrance, through the entrance channel marked by lightbuoys (lateral), and between the breakwaters, from which lights (framework tower) are exhibited, to the harbour. The coastal bank, with depths less than 10.0m, lies N and S of the channel and extends from the breakwater entrance to Lightbuoys No 1 and 2, 0.6nm W. Many dangerous wrecks exist in Bahia del Callao N and S of the track. Caution: When approaching Callao from NW, or leaving on the W track, care is necessary to pass at least 2nm from Islotes Hormigas de Afuera (11°57'S 077° 43'W), a group of rocks and reefs; otherwise, a mariner may be taken unaware by the onset of dense fog which is common off the coast of Peru; soundings give no warning. The current, though rather variable in direction, is mainly NW going and can reach a rate up to 1.5kts.

1025.

Compulsory. Pilots are available 24 hours a day, from Captain of the Port. Request for pilot must be made at least 24 hours in advance, to the Port Captain. Pilot boat has a red hull with white superstructure. Pilot boards in the Pilot Waiting Area bounded by lines joining the following positions: ..... a) 12° 01.833'S 77° 11.667'W b) 12° 02.117'S 77° 11.717'W c) 12° 02.150'S 77° 11.433'W d) 12° 01.883'S 77° 11.400'W

Lights on the breakwater heads: Rompeolas Norte Light (red metal framework tower, 2m in height). Rompeolas Sur Light (black metal framework tower, 2m in height). Muelle de Guerra Light (white and blue round metal clock tower, 12m in height) at root of South breakwater. Major Lights: La Marina Light (12°07.4'S 077°02.4'W). Las Palmas Airfield Aero Light (12°09.7'S 077°00.1'W). Lima Airport Aero Light (12°01.4'S 077°13.6'W). Racon: Bahia del Callao Traffic Separation Scheme Lightbuoy (superbuoy, red and white) (12°02.2'S 077°13.6'W).

Explosives IMO 1, 1.2 and 1.3 cannot be discharged or loaded. Vessels of up to 9.8m draught may enter at any time. Vessels of more than 9.7m draught must enter at high water. There are various wrecks in the area, which are noted on the navigation charts. There is a period discolouration of sea water in the area, known as "Callao Painter". A thick, dark slime may be found on the hulls of vessels which is caused by gases rising from the bottom of the bay, which emit a nasty smell. Large jelly fish may be a problem in the outer harbour from April to July. These have been known to block vessel intakes.

Mean spring range about 0.7m; mean neap range about 0.3m.

TRAMAR Reporting System: All vessels over 300GT should report to TRAMAR on Ch 16 (working Ch 13) when 20nm, 10nm and 4nm from Isla San Lorenzo Light (12° 03.63'S 077°14.67'W). Vessels are also requested to report to TRAMAR when passing the Outer Fairway Lightbuoy (12°02.00'S 077°13.50'W). On no account should any vessel enter, leave or transit the area within 2nm W of entrance lightbuoys without authorisation from the 'Control de Bahia', heavy fines may be imposed if this regulation is not followed. The scheme features a circular precautionary area to the N of San Lorenzo Island. Three routes, each consisting of an inbound and outbound lane, radiate from the precautionary area to the NW, W and SW, with a fourth route, marked at its outer end by a lightbuoy, leading eastwards to Callao. The traffic separation scheme can be entered from WSW or NW of Isla San Lorenzo (12°05.0'S 077°14.0'W). From the WSW the track leads through the NE bound traffic lane, passing NW of Islote Mal Nombre, (12°04.0'S 077°15.0'W); from the NW the track leads through the SE bound traffic lane. Then both tracks lead anti clockwise around the precautionary area circulatory system. Then the track continues either into the E bound traffic lane passing S of the Traffic Separation Scheme Lightbuoy to Callao harbour and the pilot boarding position in Anchorage No 9, or direct to the appropriate anchorage.

Four tugs are available, 2 at 175hp, 1 at 500hp and 1 at 800hp. The use of 2 tugs is compulsory for entering, sailing and moving in the port, additional tugs may be requested by pilot and/or Port Operations Office depending on nature of vessel and/or cargo and berth assigned. Port Authority tugs join vessels once inside the mole, number as required, using vessel's lines, later passed to pier for moorings. Vessels should contact ENAPU SA, http://www.enapu.com.pe for any further details.

Prevailing winds: S'ly. Sea and swell: Conditions are favourable owing to the excellent protection afforded by Isla San Lorenzo. However, occasionally heavy rollers run into the anchorage without apparent cause, breaking violently on the beach.
