Summer.

Kaohsiung is the principal port. It is situated on the SW coast of Chinese Taipei.

Harbour: LOA 400m, beam 61.5m, draught 17.6m, 250,993DWT. Offshore: LOA 339.86m, draught 27.4m, 323,183DWT.

Approx 100,000,000t of cargo, 9,000,000TEU, 30,000 vessels and 250,000 passengers handled annually.

The following anchorages are designated the various types of vessel: ..... No Position Max Depth (m) Notes 1. 22°38.36'N 120°14.59'E 7.0 Small vessels 2. 22°37.04'N 120°15.07'E 34 Medium general cargo vessels 3. 22°34.18'N 120°15.47'E 34 Medium container vessels 4. 22°32.51'N 12017.56'E 26 Large container vessels Dangerous 22°34.54'N 120°12.53'E 41 Dangerous cargo vessels Bunkering anchorage: Lies S of the SBM's offshore from Ta-Lin-Pu (22°32'N 120° 20'E). Several areas have foul ground SW of the First Entrance. Small vessels can obtain anchorage in Outer Harbour, the area seaward of First Entrance enclosed by the breakwaters, clear of the fairway in depths from 3.7 to 7.6m. Prohibited area: Between the First and Second Entrance breakwater a submerged pipeline extends 1.5nm SW from the shore at Ta-shan-t'ou. Anchoring is prohibited within 185m either side of the pipeline. Six lightbuoys are moored around the head of the pipeline.

The First Entrance: (22°37'N 120°01'E) lies between the heads of breakwaters extending 1nm SW and NW from shore. The fairway narrows to 122m, 0.5nm within the breakwaters, where it passes between the shore and the N tip of the narrow strip of sand fronting the harbour, to enter the inner harbour. The area between the narrows and the breakwater is known as the outer harbour.Several fixed red and green lights are exhibited on each shore at the narrowest part of the fairway. To obtain the deepest water of 11.0m, approach First Entrance from position 1.5nm WNW steering to pass midway between the breakwater heads and then follow a mid channel course through the entrance to the inner harbour. The best time to enter is at the end of the flood stream. Max vessel size 30,000t. The Second Entrance: (22°33'N 120°18'E) is situated 5nm SE of the First Entrance and is the deep water man made entrance through the narrow sandy strip fronting the harbour. It has a width of 250m and depth of 16.0m. The entrance is protected to seaward by 2 curved breakwaters extending 0.75-1nm WSW. Max vessel size 100,000t. Leading lights bearing 079.5°, lead through the dredged channel of the Second Entrance. The front light is exhibited from a light beacon with a conical topmark point up; the rear light is exhibited from a similar structure, point down. The dredged channel has a width of about 180m. Three fixed green lights are exhibited on the N side, and three fixed red lights on the S side, of the entrance to the inner harbour.

Yun-An LPG Terminal is included in the entry for Kaohsiung.

Compulsory and available throughout 24 hours on VHF Ch 13. Vessels should contact port radio 2 hours before arrival in the roads. Pilot boards at No 1 Pilot Station (22°37.45'N 120°12.80'E), or No 2 Pilot Station (22°32.47'N 120° 15.40'E). Tankers to arrange a position agreed with the pilot.2 pilots are boarded for berthing cape size vessels and tankers over 40,000GT.

Harbour limits extend to 2nm off breakwater, vessels are considered 'arrived' at this position.

Wan-shou Shan 358m high and situated 1.5nm NNE of the N entrance, is the best landmark in the locality. It is composed of coral with a crater like summit; on N bearings it appears like a truncated cone, and there is a large white patch on its seaward side. In clear weather it can be seen from a distance of 35nm, when it appears like an island.

Container ships may enter at any time, other vessels up to midnight. Vessels carrying dangerous cargo, during daylight hours only. Vessels with a max draught of 10.4m can use First Entrance only at HW. Tankers too large to enter harbour use SPM buoys, 3nm S of the Second Entrance. There is a 50m security zone surrounding the LNG berth and terminal. Overtaking: A merchant vessel overtaking in the fairway must obtain consent to overtake from the other vessel. Vessels shall not cross an anchorage area without permission from the VTS.

Spring range 0.6m, Neap range 0.1m.

The VTS area is an area of radius 20m centred on position 22°35'N 120°17'E. The administration traffic area is divided into the 1st Entrance (N sector) and the 2nd Entrance (S sector). Contact VTS Ch 11 (VTS Area), Ch 12 (S sector) and Ch 14 (N sector), callsign "Kaohsiung Port Control". The reporting system is mandatory for the following vessels: ..... 1. Power driven vessels of 500GT or more 2. Power driven vessels of LOA 50m or more 3.

When pilot onboard, or at the No 1 Pilot Station (applies to vessels which have not engaged a pilot. 6. When pilot onboard, or at the No 2 Pilot Station (applies to vessels which have not engaged a pilot). 7. Before or after vessel anchors. 8. Before or after vessel arises anchor. 9. On passing the Chien Chen River mouth. 10. Before or after an approach to or departure from a wharf (including pontoons). 11. Prior to a vessel leaving port, entering the precautionary area at the 1st Entrance, and when dropping the outbound pilot. 12. Prior to a vessel leaving port, entering the precautionary area at the Second Entrance, and when dropping the outbound pilot. 13. In case of emergency. Traffic Separation Schemes: (TSS) are established in the approaches to the port at First and Second Entrances.

There are 21 large and medium class tugs from 1,800-4,000hp available. There are 4 x 3,400hp Voith Schneider tugs available at the Yung-An LNG Port.

During the typhoon season, during August and September, the sea in the approaches to Kaohsiung can be rough in the wake of a typhoon. At such times deep draught vessels may experience difficulty entering harbour due to the swell. Kaohsiung is not recommended as a safe haven during typhoons.
