Galeota Point (TTPTG)

There are two single buoy mooring terminals within approx 2nm of each other off Galeota Point. One owned by BP Trinidad & Tobago (BPTT), is located 2.5nm off the point, and the other the BHP Calypso are used for loading crude, from an open unsheltered roadstead. Galeota Point Harbour has been extended and handles general cargo and local traffic.

Tropical.

Galeota Point is situated on the SE coast of the island of Trinidad.

BP Amoco SBM: Draught 27.0m, 250,000DWT. Calypso Offshore SBM: Draught 16.7m, 150,000DWT.

Approaching vessels should never anchor to the E or NE of Galeota Point, as submarine lines enter from that direction. Vessels should approach from the SW and never anchor in the vicinity of the SBM or between it and the coast. vessels should anchor at a distance from the SBM of 2nm bearing 045°.

Vessels should approach to within 3.5nm of the Galeota Lighthouse, on a bearing of 220-230° and will be met there by the Mooring Master and a Trinidad and Tobago pilot, if requested, who will advise on the approach to the buoy while the Mooring Master will be on the bow to advise the ship's crew in picking up and making fast the nylon mooring lines. There are a number of drilling platforms in the area and the following route is recommended for arriving and leaving the terminal: .....

Tankers are normally berthed by day only; if arriving at night or if the buoy is occupied, they should anchor at least 1nm SW of the buoy. There are launches for mooring and unmooring included in the mooring charge, which also covers the Mooring Master and linesmen, but not pilotage. Tankers should have ready two nylon or manila messenger lines at least 91.4m in length and not less than 6in circumference. After the tanker is securely moored the floating equipment must be hoisted onboard with ship's gear, the 12in hose lifts weigh about 5t each; they are hoisted individually and may be connected to either port or starboard manifold. The flange connection is for a 12in manifold and the manifold fittings should be available. The Mooring Master and the hose crew will sling and connect the hose; ship's personnel are expected to operate, rig derricks, winches and assist as necessary and the deck officer must be present at all times.
