Talara (PETYL)

The port is principally used by the refinery for handling crude from offshore fields, petroleum products and LPG, solid products and general cargo. The nearby port of Negritos is an offshore oil terminal at Punta Parinas for vessels up to 24,000DWT loading crude oil.

Tropical.

Talara is a lighterage port for the discharge of general cargo, with two piers for handling tankers, and is situated in the extreme northern part of Peru in Talara Bay.

MU2: Max LOA 250m; draught 10.3m; 52,000DWT. Offshore MBM Terminal: Max LOA 230m (min LOA 138m); draught 10.6m; 55,000DWT.

Outer anchorages: Anchorage may be obtained, for tankers or other vessels in designated anchorages as follows (with positions relative to Punta Talara): ..... Position Use Depth No 1 1nm WNW Tankers 12m No 2 0.5nm WNW Gas Tankers 9.0m No 3 2.5nm WSW Quarantine - No 4 2nm N Quarantine - No 5 0.4nm N Other vessels - Anchorages will be assigned by the Harbour Master prior to arrival.

Approach and entry: The port is approached through a traffic separation scheme and entered on the alignment of leading lights (Bearing 143°), between Punta Rocallosa (04°34.1'S 081°16.8'W) and Punta Macara approx 1.5nm N. The depths and edges of the channel change owing to movement of sediment, but the changes are not considered significant to navigation. Nevertheless, care is required in the places, where the leading line passes close to the edges of the channel.

BA 3089. Admiralty Pilot NP7, NP286(7).

1025.

Compulsory and available 24 hours. Pilot boards approx 1nm NW of Punta Talara and 1.5nm WNW of Punta Talara for MBM and vessels proceeding to Negritos. Tankers should have a pilot ladder ready on the port side for the pilot to board without delay, if mooring. Then the gangway must be lowered on the starboard side for the authorities or on the port side, if not mooring. Cargo vessels lower the gangway for the pilot.

Punta Talara Light (04°34.2'S 081°16.9'W) exhibited from black six sided tower, white band and 8m in height. Leading Lights: Front light (green metal tripod, grey top) 04°34.3'S 081° 16.5'W. Rear light (green tripod, grey top, 9m in height) stands 540m from front light.

Vessels are required, for their own safety, to have enough ballast onboard to be able to navigate safely. In normal conditions, large tankers require a draught of 2.7m forward and 6.7m aft. Ballast can be discharged at the port. Berthing at Muelle No 1 can be carried out by day or night. Offshore oil terminal berthing is undertaken during daylight only. Vessels are not permitted to pass between the berth and the shore.

Range 1.5m.

Traffic separation scheme: A traffic separation scheme is established in the approaches to Talara. The scheme is IMO adopted and Rule 10 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea applies. From a position W of Punta Talara, the track leads through the ENE/E bound lane of the TSS passing (with positions relative to Punta Talara (04°34.2'S 081° 17.0'W)): N of Bajo Ewo (3.5nm SW), then N of the oilfield area (2.5nm WSW) and then to either the pilot boarding areas or the anchorages.

Tugs up to 1,350bhp and 3 motor launches available to tow lighters.

Prevailing winds: W'ly. Owing to the heavy swell and strong undercurrent vessels lie about 6m off the berth by the use of hawsers, large vessels require up to 12 strong hawsers, which are handled by small tugs.
