Lisbon (PTLIS)

The port of Lisbon covers over 32,500ha with over 16,000m of berthage. All cruise ship handling and a large proportion of total cargo handling, including, containers, break bulk, dry bulk and Ro-Ro, is on the North Bank, while the South Bank has specialised dry and liquid bulk terminals.

Summer.

The port of Lisbon is situated at the estuary of the River Tagus, which is 25km long and between 2km and 14km wide.

LOA 315m, beam 43m, draught 14.5m, 120,566DWT.

Approx 9,300,000t of cargo, 300,000TEU, 52,000 passengers and 1,700 vessels handled annually.

Outer anchorages: There are two designated anchorage areas in Baia de Cascais (38°41'N 009°24'W) which are utilised by vessels awaiting entry to Rio Tejo: Vessels drawing more than 5.0m in an area, situated 1.5nm SE of Sant Marta Lighthouse (38°41'N 009°25'W). Attention is drawn to a wreck with a depth of 22.0m over it lying close inside the S boundary of the area. Vessels drawing less than 5.0m anchor in an area, situated 1.0nm E of Santa Marta Lighthouse. For anchoring purposes the port is divided into two zones, E and W, with the boundary between them being the line joining Torre de Belem pilot station with the old Lazareto basin (1nm S). These zones are further divided into designated areas, details of which are given below. In general the bottom is sand and mud and the holding ground is good, however the tidal streams are strong and W winds on the out going stream cause vessels to range considerably with the possibility of dragging. Large vessels are not so likely to drag if anchored near the S shore, E winds cause the most sea in the port. W Zone: The four designated areas, are as follows (positioned from Torre de Belem); ..... 1. "W1" (Praia de Caxias) (2.24nm W). 2. "W2N" (Sao Jose Norte) (1.25nm W). Caution: A sewer outfall extends 0.37nm S from the shore on the boundary between the above two anchorages. 3. "W2S" (Sao Jose Sul) (1.5nm WSW). 4. "W3" (Pedroucos) (0.6nm SW), includes 3 numbered berths in depths of 34m reserved for vessels, including tankers, over 120m in length. E Zone: The seven designated areas, are as follows (positioned from Pontal de Cacilhas) (38°41'N 009°09'W): 1. "E1" (2nm W), includes 3 numbered berths in depths of 25.0m to 29.0m reserved for vessels, including tankers, over 120m in length. Smaller vessels, up to 2,000DWT and which are not carrying dangerous cargo, may anchor 0.2nm offshore in the N part of this anchorage. 2. "E2" (0.75nm W), short stay anchorage whilst awaiting a berth or port officials to board for clearance, etc. 3. "E3" (1.5nm NNE), warship anchorage. 4. "E4" (2.25nm NE), includes 4 numbered berths in depths of 8.0m to 16.5m reserved for vessels, including tankers over 120m in length. 5. "E5" (Mar da Palha) (1.75nm E); dangerous cargo anchorage; includes 7 numbered berths reserved for vessels, including tankers over 120m in length. Extending NE from E5 into Cala de Samora there are two areas where vessels may, after inspection by the Port Authorities and subject to certain conditions, be permitted to lay up for an agreed length of time. Several mooring buoys are established in the S part of this anchorage. An obstruction with a depth of 8.0m over it lies in the S part of "E5" 1.5nm E of Ponta de Cacilhas. 6. "E6" (Lisnave) (0.5nm SE), reserved for vessels undergoing repairs. 7. "E7" (Alfeite) (1.25nm SSE), reserved for Naval base traffic. Prohibited anchorage areas: In addition to local prohibitions which are detailed in the relevant parts of the text the main areas where anchoring is prohibited are centred in the following positions: Entrance protection area, 40°38.5'N 009°17.5'W. Belem-Trafaria and Belem-Porto Brandao ferry safety and protection area, 40° 41.0'N 009°12.5'W. Passing area E of Ponte 25 de Abril and ferry safety and protection area Lisboa to Cacilhas and Barreiro, 40°41.5'N 009°09.0'W. Under certain circumstances this area may be used providing the visibility is more than 2nm, there is a pilot onboard and the stay is less than 6 hours.

The port's main access channel has a depth of 15.5m LST. Approach from west: Between Cabo Raso (38°42'N 009°29'W) and Ponta do Salmondo (3.25nm E) all charted dangers are contained within the 20m depth contour which runs parallel to the coast at a distance of about 0.05nm. In bad weather condition it is prudent to remain at least 1nm offshore to avoid breakers which extend up to 0.5nm from the coast when a sea is running. The port is entered by two channels defined by leading marks. Barra Norte, the shallower with depth 5.2m, is entered from W and Barra Sul the deeper channel, also known as Barra Grande, which is maintained to a depth of 14.0m and width of 250m by dredging, is entered from SW. Both channels merge at the entrance to the river which is 1.5nm wide between Forte de Sao Juliao and Forte Bugio. Caution. Fishing nets may be laid up to 0.5nm off this coastline during the period from Mar to Nov. Approach from South. From a position NW of Cabo Espichel (38°25'N 009°13'W) the clearing bearing (the line of bearing more than 336° of Cabo Roca (38°47'N 009°30'W)) may be found useful in approaching the mouth of Rio Tejo. By night the line of bearing, more than 334°, of the white sector of Santa Marta Light passes WSW of the dangers at the mouth of Rio Tejo. Caution: Tidal streams set strongly in and out of the entrance to Rio Tejo; mariners should guard against being set NE on the ingoing stream. The outgoing stream is often felt up to 3nm outside the bar.

BA 87, 3221, 3222, 3635. Admiralty Pilot NP67, NP286(1).

No coastguard available.

1023-1025. Alhandra terminals have water densities of approx 1002.

Pilotage is available 24 hours a day, weather permitting, VHF Ch 14. Pilots must be requested a minimum of 2 hours in advanced. Pilotage is compulsory for all vessels proceeding E of Torre de Belem and for all berthing movements within the port, and is compulsory between Cascais and Torre de Belem only for certain sizes and classes of vessel; however good local knowledge and prior permission is required if proceeding to Torre de Belem before taking a pilot. Pilotage is compulsory for the following vessels navigating W of Torre de Belem: ..... 1. Vessels with a draught of 10.5m or over. 2. Vessels of 25,000GT or over (except passenger vessels). 3. Vessels with any malfunction or damage affecting engines, helm, or stability. 4. Towing vessels. 5. Vessels carrying LPG/LNG, Nitrogen Cyanide or radioactive cargo. Main pilot station: The pilot vessel is usually on station 1nm SE of Cascais or cruising off the entrance to Barra Sul, 4nm farther S. If the pilot vessel is withdrawn, vessels will be notified by radio of the revised availability of pilots. In the event that weather conditions preclude the boarding of the pilot outside the bar, vessels will be given the necessary advice by radio to proceed inward to the vicinity of Forte de Sao Juliao, at the NW entrance to the river, where the pilot will board. Vessels whose freeboard exceeds 9m should provide an accommodation ladder combined with a pilot ladder to facilitate boarding. Whilst lying in the bay awaiting a pilot vessels should remain in a depth of water equal to not less than 1.5 times their draught. ETA should be advised at Cascais or Belem to the Pilot Station by telephone, fax or VHF at least 2 hours prior to arrival. Departing vessels should contact the pilot Station by telephone, fax via their agent (between 0800-2000 weekdays or 0800-1230 weekends and holidays) at least 2 hours in advance. The pilot boards in the following positions: ..... 1. Bar Pilot: 38°40.84'N 009°24.34'W (Exact position by agreement with the pilots) 2. Harbour Pilot: 0.3nm S of Torre de Belem. 3. 38°41.42'N 009°14.08'W

The port limits are bounded at the river entrance by a line leading SE from Forte de Sao Juliao (38°40'N 009°19'W) to Forte Bugio (1.5nm SE) (a line traditionally known as Linha de Entre-Torres), then E to Ponta da Calha (38° 40'N 009°16'W). Upriver the limits are bounded by the bridge which crosses Rio Tejo at the town of Vila Franca de Xira (38°57'N 008°59'W).

Forte de Sao Juliao Lighthouse, (white square tower, 24m in height), (38°40'N 009°19'W). Forte Bugio Lighthouse, (round tower on the centre of the fortress, 14m in height), (38°40'N 009°18'W). Major Light: Guia Light, (white octagonal tower and dwelling, 28m in height), (38°42'N 009°27'W). Santa Marta Light, (white square tower, blue bands, 20m in height), (38°41'N 009°25'W). Chibata Light, (occasional), (lantern on water tower), (38°39'N 009°13'W).

Draught: Entry for vessels with draughts between 11.0m and 14.0m depends on the sea state. Vertical clearance: Ponte 25 de Abril, a road suspension bridge, spans the river 6.5nm above the entrance. The bridge is supported on two main pillars, 190m in height spaced approx 1,000m apart, which provide a vertical clearance of 70m under the central span at HW. Navigation is forbidden less than 150m from the banks.

Mean spring range 3.2m, mean neap range 1.5m off the city of Lisboa the outgoing stream is very strong and may attain a rate of between 6-7kts during freshets; under these conditions the stream is usually less strong on the S side of the river.

The Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Centre controls navigation within the Lisbon Harbour limits, and provides information and advice to vessels navigating inside the Tagus river estuary and the seaward approaches up to a distance of 16.5nm radius from the VTS Centre. Procedure: Participation in the VTS is mandatory for all vessels equipped with VHF radio equipment. Participation is not mandatory for the following: ..... 1. Local fishing traffic 2. Local harbour traffic 3. Leisure craft less than LOA 20m. Reporting: Vessels should report to Lisboa Port Control 2 hours before arrival, stating IMO Standard Ship Reporting System (SRS) Items: A, C, G, O, P and Q. Vessels should again report as follows: ..... 1. When entering the VTS area (16.5nm radius from the VTS Centre). 2. When crossing the line joining Cabo Espichel Light (38°25.05'N 009°12.94'W) and Cabo Raso Light (38°42.66'N 009°29.09'W). 3. When crossing the line joining S Juliao Light (38°40.53'N 009°19.43'W) and Bugio Light (38°39.63'N 009°17.93'W). 4. When first rope ashore. 5. When unmoored. 6. When anchoring or weighing anchor. Vessels must send a Departure Report 15 minutes prior to departure from any berth or anchorage, stating IMO SRS items: I and P. Vessels must report anything likely to affect safety or may be considered necessary for safe and effective traffic control in the port of Lisboa. The VTS Operator may request further information. An Incident Report (IR) must be sent to Lisboa Port Control on VHF Ch 74. Accident procedures: Any of the following must be immediately reported to Lisboa Port Control on VHF Ch 74: ..... 1. Fire or an explosion. 2. Any condition that may impair a vessels visibility to safely navigate and manoeuvre. 3. Involvement in a marine casualty. 4. Any pollution incident. 5. Any hazard to navigation. 6. Any defect or discrepancy in an Aid to Navigation. 7. Adverse weather and visibility conditions. 8. Another vessel in apparent difficulty. 9. Security incidents. Radar surveillance: Radar surveillance is maintained within the Lisboa VTS area for the provision of Vessel Traffic Services. Information broadcasts: Lisboa Port Control broadcasts navigational, meteorological and traffic information on VHF Ch 74 when appropriate. The following information is available on request: ..... 1. Traffic information. 2. Local weather. 3. Weather forecast. 4. Tide height. 5. Aids to navigation data. 6. Information on local harbour operations such as dredging, ferry routes, regatta's etc.

There are 20 tugs of 200-3,300hp available. Private tugs available on a 24 hour basis if required, equipped with fire fighting equipment.

Prevailing winds: N'ly. Fog is frequent in calm periods between Oct and Feb, forming in the early morning and generally dissipating during the afternoon. Gales from between S and W can cause heavy rollers to break across the channels, particularly on the outgoing tide, though Barra Norte is usually less affected than Barra Sul; in winter, or when precipitation is strong, such conditions may persist for several days but the bar is seldom impassable.

No vessel will be cleared from the port without all documents being in good order. Cargo documents: Import, export and transit documents are to be presented at Customs 24 hours (maximum) after the vessel is granted free pratique.

Initial ETA is to be sent as soon as possible to the vessel's agent enabling him to arrange a pier with the port administration co-ordinator. In cases of congestion the port will decide in favour of the vessel arriving first. The ETA message must include the max draught on arrival and quantities of IMO cargo to be discharged or in transit. Confirmation of ETA should be advised to the agent at least 24 hours prior to arrival. Final ETA confirmation is to be made by VHF Ch 14 to Lisbon pilots at 4 and 2 hours prior to arrival at the pilot station. Pilot will advise the Master about berthing instructions.

Hazardous cargo: IMO cargo must be authorised by the port administration and Harbour Master 24 hours before arrival. Agent must be presented with a detailed list which shows: Quantity, IMO class and UN number and page. Regulations concerning entry: Entrance channels: Vessels or craft proceeding in opposite directions are not permitted to pass one another in Barra Norte, in the approach to the narrows, from a position on the leading line 0.7nm W of Ponta da Laje (38°40'N 009°19'W) up to Ponta da Laje itself. When two vessels are approaching from opposite directions the vessel farthest from the entrance to the channel should wait until the other vessel has passed through it. If in doubt as to which vessel is nearest to the entrance, the one proceeding with the tidal stream has priority. A vessel entering through Barra Norte must give way to a vessel leaving through Barra Sul and must keep NW of the alignment (050°) of the Caxais and Mama Sul Beacons until it is clear to proceed up river. The vessel leaving by Barra Sul should keep to the Gibalta-Esteiro leading line and on no account get NW of the alignment mentioned above. Fishing is strictly prohibited in the entrance channels. Speeds and distances: Within the port when E of the meridian of Alges (009° 14'W) any speed in excess of 10kts are forbidden except where the minimum manoeuvering speed of the vessel is above this speed. Vessels without a pilot onboard are restricted to a speed of 5kts when E of the meridian of Torre de Belem (009°13'W) and within 150m of the shore. Navigation within 150m of dock entrances, wharves, piers, terminals and river walls is prohibited and Pontal de Cacilhas (38°41'N 009°07.8'W) must be given a clearance of 500m. Above Doca da Marinha (38°42.3'N 009°07.8'W), in the approach to Canal de Cabo Ruivo, the N bank of the river should be given a clearance of 1,000m.

Free pratique can be obtained by the agent on arrival at the health department. The clearance depends upon a "negative" International Health Declaration. Ship Sanitation Control Certificates or Exemption Certificates can be issued/renewed by the official health department (inspection and issuance on same day).

Depends on Charter Party but is normally tendered at the place where the pilot boarded (at Cascais pilot station (entrance buoy) or Belem pilot station (inside harbour). Note: A vessel is considered "inside Lisbon harbour" after passing a line joining Sao Juliao tower and Bugio Light.

Navigational warnings are transmitted on VHF Ch 16 by the Maritime Police in Portuguese and English. These are also transmitted on 2182kHz and 500kHz. Official announcements, such as port closed or restricted navigation, are also passed to the vessel's agent through the Shipping Association.
