Repairs: No facilities.
Surveyors: None available Our off-hire surveyor arrived from Su-Ao.
Police/Ambulance/Fire: In case of an emergency, call the ships Agent
Vessel: Bulk carrier, 39,000 g.r.t.

Overview: Berth: Berth No. N-2.
Cargo: Coal.
Location: The port is a new artificial port, situated at the mouth of Ho-Ping
River, in position Lat. 24 17.45' N, Long. 121 45.6' E, and is approximately
20 n.m. NNE from Hua-Lien.
Charts: BA Chart No. 3235 (Port Approaches). Currently no port chart
available.
Port Limits: A vessel is considered to be an arrived vessel when arriving
at the pilot station, or if berth is occupied, when anchored at Su-Ao or
Hua-Lien. The vessel will have 2 hours added to its Finished With Engines
time to account for the passage to the port.
Upon arrival at either anchorage, the vessel must register with Su-Ao or
Hua-Lien Port Controls.
Documents: See Keelung.
Prior to arrival, the vessels Master should fax to the ships Agent the
following documents:
Certificate of Registry
Crew List
Ports of Call List
Ships Particulars.
Only the Immigration Officer boarded on arrival and checked all passports
and Seamens Books.
Upon arrival, the ships Agent took all the ships certificates and sent them
to Hua-Lien Harbour Masters office until our vessels departure.
Max. Size: Max. size of vessel is Panamax, with a draft of 13.7 m. at Berth
No. N-2 and 11.2 m. at Berths No. S-1 to S-3. Max. depth in the port is 14.5 m.
(LLW).
Density: Approximately 1023.5.
Restrictions: Vessels may only berth/unberth during daylight hours from
0800 1700 hrs.
Bridges: None.
Approaches: There is a power plant with a 250 m. tall chimney on the north
bank of the port that is visible from a far distance.
Pilotage: The pilot boarding area is approximately 2.0 n.m. south of the port,
in approximate position Lat. 24 16.2' N, Long. 121 44.5' E. The pilot ladder
for berthing is always placed on the port side of the vessel at 2.0 m. above
sea level. For berthing/unberthing Panamax vessels, the Pilot came from
Hua-Lien. While awaiting the Pilot, care should be taken as a very strong
northerly current may run at more than 2 knots.
Due to the port entrance facing south, it is recommended that vessels
approach the pilot station from the south, therefore avoiding a right angle
turn and making a safer approach.
Communications with Pilot is via VHF Channel 14. The Pilot boards the
vessel from a tug. The Pilot was very good and manoeuvring the vessel was
very smooth.
Anchorages: Due to the sea being very deep just off the port ranging from
200 1,000 m., there is no anchorage available at Ho-Ping. When a vessel
has to wait to berth, it is recommended that vessels anchor off Su-Ao or
Hua-Lien, depending on whether arriving from the north or south, incurring
no extra cost.
Pratique: Radio free pratique obtained by radio and should be sent 65 hours
prior to arrival.
Pre-Arrival Information: All communications with the ships Agent were
conducted via Inmarsat radio.
VHF: Ho-Ping Port Control works on Channel 14 and listens on Channel 16.
VTS: New Port Control Vessel Traffic Service station should be completed
by 2003.
Tugs: There are 33,600 h.p. tugs available. Panamax vessels will be
required to use all 3 during berthing/unberthing operations.
Tugs lines used.
Berthing: There are 5 berths available. Berth No. N-2 is used exclusively
for discharging coal for the power station and cement factory (all connected
by long conveyors). Berths No. S-2 and S-3 are used for loading cement.
As per ships Agents advice, 5 vessels berth per month discharging coal
(one for cement factory and 4 for power plant).
Airdraft for Berth No. N-2 is 23 m. and for Berth No. S-2 is 14.4 m.
Bulk Cargo Facilities: The port is designed for discharging coal and
loading cement in bulk. At Berth No. N-2 there are 2 continuous unloaders
with discharging rates of approximately 800 1,000 tonnes/hr. each. During
our call, only one unloader was used so as to avoid overloading of the
conveyor to the cement factory. We discharged cargo over 4 days, but
discharging at the power station takes approximately 2.5 days.

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.
Also see Agents Report dated March 2002.
ANCHORAGES: There is an anchorage area within a trapezoid zone

3 n.m. from the breakwater to the NW of the harbour entrance.
Anchoring is not recommended during the NE monsoon with its strong
onshore winds. Vessels waiting to enter are advised to slow steam off the
port during the winter months.
PRATIQUE: Radio pratique possible, vessel should advise number of
Certificate of Sanitary Inspection. Pratique will be granted when vessel is in
anchorage. Two measures will have to be conducted by ship, these are:

A tug is normally moored aft whilst at the SBM, but is only done if a tug
is available, and weather conditions merit it.
The area is fairly sheltered, but a heavy swell can affect the area when
there is bad weather in the China Sea.
Upon departure, report time to Kaohsiung Port Control.
LPG Transhipment/Lightening Anchorage: Numerous LPG cargo
transfers underway and at anchor outside port limits (with approval of
Taiwanese authorities).

23 m. A further set of unequally spaced large bollards is along line 34 m. in

each end are recommended. We experienced winds of over 30 knots off
berth for short period, nobody seemed at all surprised, so would suggest this

5,500 6,000 tonnes/day.
Discharge: As stated this is a container berth. Panamax vessel with side
opening hatches, port side to. Hatch centre stops and minor hatch fittings

and mobile cranes lifted on board, one per hatch. These use small 4 5 ton
grabs and discharge into lorries. Small bulldozer type vehicle put in each
hold to move cargo to port side. Preparation about one day, discharge nine
days, replacing of pieces, etc. one day.
