Setubal (PTSET)

A large industrial centre equipped to handle all types of cargoes. Portugal's main Ro-Ro port, handling containerised, break bulk and bulk cargoes, also extensive shipbuilding and repair facilities. There is an important fishing industry based in the port. A large, deep and safe anchorage is available, sheltered from the prevailing N winds by the Arrabida mountains.

Summer.

The port of Setubal is situated in the large estuary of the River Sado, on the Portuguese Atlantic coast, 40km S of Lisbon.

Max draught permitted for entry 12.0m, Vessels up to LOA 250m can be accommodated and around 60,000DWT base on the latest Max draught Audit.

Approx 6,150,000t of cargo, 120,000TEU and 1,520 vessels handled annually.

Inner anchorage: North Bank: Positioned from Doca Pesca Light (38°31.09'N 008° 54.01'W): Military and commercial anchorage (centred 4nm SE). South Bank: Positioned from Troia Naval Quay (38°28.50'N 008°52.22'W): Lay-up anchorage with 6 numbered berths (centred 2nm SE). Quarantine and dangerous cargo anchorage (centred 6nm E). Anchorage outside these areas is possible with prior permission from the Port Authority. Prohibited anchorages: Anchoring is prohibited, due to the presence of submarine cables, in an area 0.3nm wide lying between Forte de Albarquel (38° 30.6'N 008°54.7'W) and Ponta do Adoxe (1nm SSE). Anchoring is also prohibited in the approach to the docks, berths and landing stages on the N bank of the river, and within 300m of Troia Naval Quay, in Canal Sul.

Access to the port is through a 5km, 200m wide and 12.0m CD dredged channel. Upstream the river divides into two fairways, the North fairway with depth of 11.0m CD leading to most terminals and the South fairway with depth of 10.0m CD leading to Terminal Termitrena, Terminal Teporset and the shipyard. The port is approached from SW on the alignment of leading lights (Doca Light and Azeda Light) exhibited from the head of the harbour and is entered over a bar which is further marked by light beacons and lightbuoys. Caution: It is reported that at night Doca Light is often difficult to identify against the background lights, in particular a group of orange lights, in the port area. Care must be taken not to confuse the lights of No 2 Light Beacon and No 1 Lightbuoy with Forte do Outao Light and No 5 Light Beacon; the latter lights normally being visible at a longer range.

Compulsory within the navigable waters of Rio Sado and within an area of radius 5nm centred on Outao Light (38°29.31'N 008°56.05'W), available 24 hours a day. In fair weather conditions the pilot boards on the entrance leading line approx 1nm SW of No 2 Light Beacon. In poor conditions the pilot will board inside the entrance channel, on the leading line, between No 4 Light Beacon and No 3 Lightbuoy. In the case of bad weather from S, approaching vessels should obtain advance information on conditions on the bar and any restrictions to pilotage. Vessels approaching from the NW will experience poor VHF communications until passing Cape Espichel. Vessels in port requiring to shift berth or sail must give 2 hours prior notice to the pilot station, giving name of vessel and type of pilotage required.

The port limits are defined by the lines joining the following co-ordinates: To seaward; from Forte do Outao (38°29'N 008°56'W) SW to: 38°26.7'N 008°59.1'W, then E to; 38°26.7'N 008°54.2'W, then N to; The W extremity of Peninsula de Troia, then: Inward; all the waters enclosed N by the parallel of 38°31.65'N, in Esteiro da Marateca and E by the meridian of 008°41.58'W in Canal Alcacer do Sal.

Forte do Outao Lighthouse (white hexagonal tower, 11m in height) (38°29.0'N 008°56.0'W). Doca Light (red metal structure, white stripes) (38°31.0'N 008°54.0'W). Azeda Light (red hut on piles) (38°32.0'N 008°52.0'W).

The max permitted speed allowed when crossing the bar, or navigating inside the harbour, is 10kts.

Mean Spring Range 2.9m, mean Neap range 1.2m.

The VTS co-ordinates the movement of vessels navigating inside the Sado River estuary and the seaward approach up to a distance of 4nm radius from No 2 Light Beacon. The VTS system is mandatory and applies to the following: ..... 1. Vessels over 300GT 2. Vessel LOA 15m and above, including fishing, tows and yachts. 3. All vessels carrying 12 or more passengers. Reporting procedures: ..... 1. Vessel should report to Setubal Port Control 2 hours prior to arrival 2. Vessel should report to Setubal Port Control 15 minutes before entering the fairway 3. Vessels should report to Setubal Port Control 10 minutes before weighing anchor, leaving or shifting berths 4. Vessels should maintain a continuous watch on VHF Ch 73. Reporting points; ..... 1. Inbound vessels should report the following to Setubal Port Control, 2 hours before arrival; a. Name, callsign or vessels identity (MMSI) b. Position c. True course d. Speed e. ETA f. Dangerous and noxious goods onboard. 2. Vessels must report anything likely to affect safety or may be considered necessary for safety and effective traffic control in the port. 3. The VTS operator may request further information. When required, vessel should report to Setubal Port Control, on passing the following points; ..... Reporting Points Position B Between No 1 Lightbuoy (38°27.00'N 008°58.17'W) and No 2 Light Beacon (38° 27.22'N 008°58.46'W) O Forte do Outa Light (38°29.31'N 008°58.17'W) S Between No 1 CN Lightbuoy (38°30.33'N 008°51.44'W) and No 2 CN Lightbuoy (38° 30.49'N 008°51.40'W) L No 8 Lightbuoy (38°28.10'N 008°49.61'W) ..... Other reports; 1. On berthing 2. Prior to and on clearing a berth 3. Anchoring or weighing anchor 4. Pilot embarkation or disembarkation. Accidents Any of the following incidents must be reported to Setubal Port Control on VHF Ch 73. 1. Fire or accident 2. Any condition that may impair a vessel's ability to navigate and manoeuvre 3. Involvement of a maritime casualty 4. Pollution incident 5. Hazard to navigation 6. Any defect or discrepancy in an aid to navigation 7. Adverse weather or visibility condition 8.

Prevailing winds: N'ly. Although for the most part the bar is navigable all year round instances of strong winds from SW, which occur mainly in the period October to April, create dangerous conditions on the bar and can make it impassable, particularly when they coincide with an outgoing spring tide. Such conditions may also affect vessels within the port necessitating extra precautions at the berths and, in extreme circumstances, forcing them to take shelter in Canal Sul. Strong S winds make manoeuvring difficult at the berths in the E part of the port. In strong winds from any direction high sided vessels of light draught should exercise particular care when crossing the bar in order to maintain the leading line. Fog occurs on average about 15 days per year. During the months of Dec and Jan it forms during the night and usually clears during the morning, whilst in Aug it tends to form at daybreak and clear by the middle of the day.
