10.0 Transiting the Magellan Straits - A Master's Report 2010

General Information

When Sailing through the straits the Master should always be on the bridge even if there is a pilot on board. Watches must be maintained on automaticships.

The following notes are taken from one master´s report. For more detailed information you must refer to the Guide to Port Entry.

Approach from The Atlantic

1. When approaching Magellan the ships particulars should be given to Cabo Virgenes Control. When abeam Cabo Virgenes and at a distance of 10NM,and when abeam Punta Dungenes, the ship's particulars should be given toPunta Dungenes Control via VHF CH16. There is the possibility that theArgentine Navy will also request ships particulars on the same frequency.

2. In good weather the Posesion Bay pilot will board after the ship has passed between the two Racon M + T. In adverse conditions the pilot will request thatthe ship pass close to Punta Delgada. Note: Caution is required due to strongcurrents in the channel of Primera Angostura.

3. From Punta Arenas to Cabo Gallant ships must sail closer to the coast onthe starboard side to give space to ships approaching in the opposite direction.The same rule applies whilst sailing in channel Paso Inglés to Cohorn LTpoint. Due to strong currents extreme caution is required when changingcourse to pass Paso Tortuoso. At the turning point there are strong currentsfrom Channel (canal) Jerónimo which may drift the ship towards Isla CarlosIII. After passing Cabo Crosstide and buoy R. Anson the currents changedirection and head from Canal David pushing the ship to the starboard sideof Paso Tortuoso to Cabo Quod point.
