Manila (PHMNL)

The port of Manila is the Philippines' premier cargo terminal. It is divided up into the South Harbour, the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), North Harbour and the Harbour Centre Port. It has a shoreline of 2km and is protected by some 3,048m of rock breakwater barriers, enclosing approx 600ha of anchorage.

China Sea Seasonal Tropical Area, Tropical 21 Jan to Apr 30, Summer May 1 to Jan 20.

Manila Harbour is situated at the E end of Manila Bay, 7nm NNE of Cavite and off the mouth of Pasig River (14°36'N 120°57'E).

LOA 347.11m, draught 12.0m, beam 44.01m, 87,673DWT.

Approx 103,000,000t of cargo, 7,500,000TEU, 20,000 of vessels and 500,000 passengers handled annually.

All vessels entering Manila Bay are prohibited from stopping or anchoring at any place between the entrance to Manila Bay and the anchorages off Manila Harbour without having previously obtained the permission of the Commissioner of Customs. The same applies to vessels leaving Manila Harbour. Vessel not intending to immediately enter the harbour may anchor in the designated anchorage outside the breakwaters.

Vessels may not anchor or lie in the approaches to a port or principal fairway, nor obstruct the way to the designated anchorage berths in areas which will adversely affect another vessel anchored nearby. All deep draught vessels intending to use any designated anchorage for the sole purpose of lightering of cargoes have to secure the necessary clearance from the Port Manager. Quarantine anchorage: The quarantine anchorage is situated 2nm SW of South Breakwater. Several obstructions lie close W of the W limit of this anchorage. A second quarantine anchorage, mainly for the use of vessels entering the International Port Basin, is located in (14°36.3'N 120°52.6'E) W of the entrance to the International Port Basin, can accommodate 3 vessels has a depth of 11.0m. A vessel should display her official number or letters when approaching the quarantine anchorage in daylight. A vessel arriving at night must display her letters in addition to "Q" flag; if the vessel is carrying mail, "Y" flag should be displayed until delivery is effected. The quarantine station for Manila is Mariveles. All vessels must await the Immigration Authorities representative in the Quarantine Anchorage, with the exception of vessels arriving from China (mainland) during the summer months, the latter may be instructed by these authorities to proceed to Mariveles Harbour where they will be boarded by Immigration Officials. The quarantine station is at Mariveles Harbour. Explosives anchorage: With a radius of 0.5nm, is situated 3nm WNW of West Breakwater head.

Extensive developments have taken place in Manila Bay. Depths may be up to 3.0m less than charted. Numerous changes to lights, buoys and beacons have been made. It is advisable to check the latest information with the Port Authorities before approaching and entering the harbours. Manila Harbour is approached from Manila Bay. Harbour Centre, North Harbour, International Port Basin, the Pasig River and South Harbour are all entered from the W. Development projects continue in the area, with Manila International Container Terminal being extended out into the harbour on reclaimed land and new breakwaters built or extended. Least depth in the harbour approach channels: ..... Harbour Centre 10.2m - mid channel, 7.0m towards sides. International Port Basin 12.0m dredged depth (2010) N Harbour 10.0m (6.5m or less off berths) S Harbour 10.0m (except for 2 obstructions of 7.3m and 8.2m, 0.2 and 0.7nm SW of harbour entrance). Pasig River 2.7m in main channel, however channel and river are subject to constant shoaling. Mariners are advised to consult the Port Authority for confirmation of depths. Note: It is reported that there is a new controlling draught of 12.8m MLLW at the entrance channel to the South Harbour. This draught covers a width of 200m and 2.2nm channel length. Harbour Centre (North Port): The new harbour is entered from the W, off the deep water approach channel, into a buoyed and dredged access channel 6,000m long, 100m wide, with least depth of 11.5m towards mid channel and approx 7.0m closer to the channel side. The channel is equipped with 3 navigation guides and 4 lighted buoys. International Port Basin: The approaches to the basin has least charted depth of 10.6m. North Harbour: The North Harbour entrance channel is approx 1.5nm long with least depth of 10.0m in the approach to the harbour with depths of 6.5m, or less, off the berths. The harbour is entered from the W, passing (with positions from the North Breakwater Light (14°37.2'N 120°56.6'E)): Clear of stranded wreck, the position of which is approximate (2nm W), then: Clear of a wreck with 0.9m of water over it (2nm W), then: Close N of a lightbuoy (starboard hand) (0.2nm NNW). Then the track leads SE into North Harbour, passing: Clear of a shoal patch (0.2nm N), with 4.9m of water over it; and NE of a buoy (starboard hand) (200m NNW) marking the shoal ground extending NW from North Breakwater. Then NE of North Breakwater Light, then as necessary for berthing. International Port Basin: International Port Basin is entered from W via the deep channel, passing (with positions from North Breakwater Light (14°37.2'N 120°56.6'E): N of a buoy (isolated danger) (2nm WSW), then: S of an obstruction (1.5nm WSW) with a swept depth of 7.6m, then N of ''C'' Buoy (1.75nm SW), then: Through the entrance (1nm SW), 350m wide, between the breakwaters, and into the basin. A light is exhibited from the head of the breakwaters on either side of the entrance. A bank with depths of less than 5.0m extends 0.5nm S from the N breakwater head. Then direct to a berth. South Harbour: The South Harbour navigation channel is approx 0.5nm long, 200m wide with a least charted depth of 10.0m or deeper along the full length except for a dangerous wreck 0.375nm SW of the entrance. The entrance to South Harbour is via the dredged channel leading NE from the E corner of the S quarantine anchorage (14°33'N 120°56'E), passing (with positions from the head of West Breakwater (14°34.4'N 120°57.3'E)): SE of Anchorage C (centred 1nm WNW), and NW of Anchorage B (centred 0.7nm S), then through the entrance to South Harbour between the head of West Breakwater and the N head of South Breakwater. A light is exhibited from the head of West Breakwater (white round metal tower, black bands, concrete base, 10m in height), and from the N head of South Breakwater (white metal column, 11m in height). It is reported that the breakwater lights are difficult to identify against the lights of manila, Then direct to a berth, keeping clear of a dangerous wreck (0.25nm ESE), the position of which is approximate. Within South Harbour, in the SE corner, lights are exhibited from the Yacht Basin breakwaters (1.75nm ESE). Caution: In all areas, whether within Manila Harbour limits or in the anchorage, are to be found shoals, obstructions or wrecks, some of which may not be charted. Within the harbour limits the least affected areas are International Port Basins and North Harbour. In South Harbour are many wrecks and obstructions, most of which have been swept by wire. In NW and SE of South Harbour there are mooring buoys and many parts of the bottom in South harbour are foul.
