The following are the types of procedures the vessel's master and mooring master may apply when berthing to No 3 and No 4 berths. These procedures will vary according to vessel size, weather and sea conditions, and any restrictions. A vessel, assisted by a tug, will approach the mooring heading due W passing approx 66m W of No 7 mooring buoy. Both starboard and port anchors are dropped and positioned in approx 24m of water at No 4 berth and 22m at No 3 berth. The vessel is then moored to 7 mooring buoys. The order in which the mooring ropes are attached depend on prevailing conditions. These procedures will be reversed when leaving the berth. There will be a mooring launch in attendance at all times. All vessels, unless otherwise legally exempt, will have a tug standing by to assist at all times. Max draught: Max operating draughts are 15.5m for berth No 3 and 17.0m for berth No 4. Under Keel Clearance: At all times while at the terminal, vessels are required to have a UKC of at least 1.8m.

Pilotage is compulsory. Call "El Segundo Pilot" 1 hour before arrival on VHF Ch 10.
