ISPS COMPLIANCE: Port is compliant.
MAX. SIZE: Max. possible overall length less than 900 ft. Vessels or
Agents shall declare ETA to Harbour Bureau 24 hours prior to their arrival.
DENSITY: 1002 1023.
RESTRICTIONS: Keelung Harbour Bureau Vessel Traffic Control Centre
(VTCC) consists of Keelung Port Radio Station. Any ship shall apply in
advance of her actual entry/exit by light signal or via VHF to Keelung Port
Radio Station, and shall not leave dock nor weigh anchor nor sail, and remain
close to harbour entrance before obtaining from Harbour Bureau VTCC the
signal permit to enter or leave.
Pilots berth vessels 0700 2300 hrs. Unberthing at any time.
APPROACHES: Leading lights mark a passage for clearing Hsin Lai Reef
(depth 6.0 m.) on 201(T). This course should be maintained until a position
2 miles north of the entrance is reached. The ships head should then be
adjusted as necessary to transit the breakwaters or to a course of 165(T).
Strong cross currents often exist in the vicinity of the harbour entrance and
bold alterations of course may be necessary to maintain line.
The fairway is dredged to depths of 10.5 12.0 m. (MLWS). There is no
limit on vessels LOA, but manoeuvring problems arise for vessels over
250 m. in length due to the limited turning circle.
PILOTAGE: Compulsory for vessels of more than 500 g.r.t. Arriving
vessels should advise Keelung Port Control on VHF Channel 14 of their ETA
as soon as contact is established. The vessel should then slow steam off
the entrance, approaching to within 2 miles north of the entrance when
advised by the Pilot on VHF Channel 12 that he is on his way. Quarantine,
customs, immigration and foreign affairs police officers all board inside the
harbour entrance, and formalities are usually completed by the time the vessel
berths.
Container vessels (if LOA more than 200 m.) require 2 Pilots, except at
wharves No. E11, W18 W24. Car carriers (if over 15,000 g.r.t.) require two
Pilots.
General cargo: Passenger vessels and tankers require two Pilots if over
LOA 200 m.
