New port facilities are being constructed East of the Main Harbour area, in deeper water at Cat Hai. Vessels are asked to check for new navigation markers, before making approach to these locations, and be aware of extra tug and barge traffic crossing approach channels. Haiphong (Main Harbour area) is approached from seaward from Gulf of Tonkin by Cua Nam Trieu (20°45'N 106°52'E), a mouth of Song Thai Binh, and entered from E through Cua Cam Trieu by Dinh Vu (20°51'N 106°46'E), a total distance of 23.7nm. The channel dimensions as follows: ..... Channel Length (nm) Width (m) Depth CD (m) Lach Huyen 9.7 100 7.8 Ha Nam 3.5 70 5.7 Bach Dang 5.1 70 6.1 Cam River 5.4 70 6.1 The channel depth from the pilot boarding position to Dinh Vu Port area is min 7.3m, from Dihn Vu to the main port area is min 5.5m. Tan Cang: Has a turning basin with a diameter of 200m. Haiphong International Container Terminal (new): Located approx 14km South East of Haiphong Main Harbour at Cat Hai island. Has a turning basin, 660m in diameter, 14m deep and a new access Channel starts approximately at red and white Safe Water Mark HPO (position 20°40.95N 106°59.10E) [Light sequence Mo(A).W.6s]. This course is followed using 343°(163°) for approx 2nm to between Red Passage Marker HP4 [Fl(1).R.3s] and Green Passage Marker HP3 [Fl(1).G.3s]. Here the channel turns North East on a bearing of 324°(144°) for approx 6nm.

When navigating in the channel leading through Cua Nam Trieu and to Haiphong the following regulations apply: During poor visibility the captain of the port should be notified of the time of departure from No 0 Lightbuoy, and the vessel's speed. Vessels entering with the flood have priority in the channel. In Dinh Vu (Canal Maritime), when two vessels are approaching one another in opposite directions, the one from seaward must wait and if necessary anchor until the one from Haiphong has passed through.Vessels with a draught of 3.0m or less must navigate outside the channel, NE of the line of starboard hand lightbuoys. Vessels must not cross ahead of one another between No 8 and No 12 Lightbuoys. When dredgers are at work, a vessel's whistle must be sounded when approaching. A dredger must not be passed until she has displayed the signal "Not Under Control" at half mast, indicating that the channel is clear.

Range 3.9m. Off the entrance to Cua Nam Trieu tidal streams set NE on a rising tide and SSW on a falling tide.

There are 9 tugs available, 305hp-3,200hp. Compulsory for vessels >=80.0m LOA.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly and N'ly monsoons from Sep to Nov. Max 30 knots during monsoon.

If stowaways are onboard the Master must inform the Port Authority and vessel's agent 72, 36 and 24 hours prior to arrival with full details.

Initial ETA should be sent to the vessel's appointed agent on departure from last port. This message will be passed to the Harbour Master by the agent. Additional ETA's should be sent each 48 hours after departure from the last port and then 72, 36, 24, 12, 6 and 4 hours prior to arrival. The ETA message should contain: ..... 1. Vessel's name, port of registry, nationality, callsign, vessel type 2. Ship's particulars (DWT, GT, NT, etc) 3. Crew/passengers onboard and stowaways onboard, if any (this is very important) 4.

Owners or charters should also advise other relevant cargo related information to the vessel's nominated agent before arrival.

Vietnam regulations require vessels entering a Vietnamese port to display the Vietnamese flag. If the vessel does not possess a Vietnamese flag, the Master can request the local agent to supply it on arrival at the pilot station. Penalty for non compliance is approx US$100-200.

The main/emergency radio transmitter and direction finder will be sealed when the vessel is in port. No direct communications are therefore possible so all messages must be routed through the vessel's agent. When vessels are loading/discharging flammable or explosive cargo, a fire fighting vehicle should be on standby. The Master is liable for costs. Oil tankers of 500GT or more are strictly prohibited from carrying out repairs to their main engine or anchoring/steering gear while waiting at berths for cargo handling.

Pratique cannot be applied for by radio. It is normally applied for after the Quarantine delegation have viewed all the vessel's documents related to health (such as Health Declaration, Vaccination Books, Ship Sanitation Control Certificate) and granted. Ship Sanitation Control Certificates and Exemption Certificates may be renewed. At the request of Owner/Agent, the Department of Health will provide "provisional pratique'', for vessels calling directly from abroad to any Indonesian port which is not classified as a quarantine port, provided that health conditions on board comply with the required health conditions. This "provisional pratique'' however does not relieve the vessel from quarantine measures, and it is not to be construed as "free pratique''. Accordingly vessels enjoying "provisional pratique'' are still required to fly the quarantine flag.

The NOR should be tendered when the vessel arrives at the pilot station.
