Also see General before first port

OVERVIEW: The Port of New York/New Jersey is the largest port complex on the East Coast of North America. The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey is a bi-state

agency formed in 1921 to promote trade and commerce in the New York-New Jersey region.

MAX. SIZE: Restricted only by berth depth and location.

RESTRICTIONS: Ambrose Channel, 10 miles long, maintained to a width of 2,000 ft. and a depth of 45 ft. (MLW). APPROACHES: Ambrose Channel, 2,000 ft. wide, is the

principal entrance from the sea to the Lower Bay and onward to The Narrows between Staten Island and Brooklyn, which is 15 miles from Ambrose Tower. The project depth of

this channel is 45 ft. (MLW). Vessels proceeding up Sandy Hook Channel are limited by a project depth of 35 ft. (MLW) and an 800 ft. wide channel. Vessels arriving at the Port of

New York normally utilise General Anchorages No. 23 and No. 24 which are north of the Verrazano Bridge and adjacent to the Stapleton Quarantine Station or Anchorage No. 21

off Bay Ridge. However, at times it may be necessary to direct inbound tonnage to the Gravesend Anchorage, No. 25, south of the Verrazano Bridge. Occasionally, due to

congested conditions at the above locations, vessels may be directed to anchor at the newly established anchorage adjacent and NW of Ambrose Tower. Vessels instructed to use

the anchorage off Ambrose Tower must pick up a Pilot for proper selection of an anchorage location. For limits of anchorages generally used in the Port of New York see Plan.

Use of NOAA Charts No. 12349 and 12334 is strongly recommended. Specific operating and safety procedures have been agreed upon with the Pilots Association, as follows:

Flood Tide Procedure: Vessels with an LOA in excess of 800 ft. or a draft of more than 40 ft. (salt water) will not be brought in from sea to the General Anchorages offStapleton, Staten Island (southern part of No. 23 and entire area of No. 24) on the flood tide. This will avoid the need to turn around in order to anchor at a location which may be

congested with traffic and ships at anchor.

Transit Restrictions: Ambrose Channel: Guideline for starting in from Ambrose Tower during normal weather conditions. Vessels with Drafts of 46 ft. 06 in.: Thirty minutes

after high water Sandy Hook. Vessel with Drafts of 46 ft.: Thirty minutes to one hour after high water Sandy Hook. Vessel with Drafts of 45 ft. 06 in.: From thirty minutes after high

water Sandy Hook to one hour and thirty minutes after high water Sandy Hook. Vessels with Drafts of 44 ft. 06 in.: From thirty minutes after high water Sandy Hook to two hours

and thirty minutes after high water Sandy Hook. Vessels with Drafts of 43 ft. 06 in.: From thirty minutes after high water Sandy Hook to three hours and thirty minutes after high

water Sandy Hook. Vessels with Drafts of 42 ft. 06 in.: From thirty minutes after high water Sandy Hook to five hours after high water Sandy Hook. Vessels with Drafts over 40 ft. 00

in.: From 30 minutes after high water Sandy Hook to 5 hours after high water Sandy Hook. All vessels in the above categories should pass through the Narrows before low water

slack at the Narrows. The procedures outlined above are guidelines only. Weather conditions, tides, currents and ship capabilities should, of course, be taken into consideration.

Anchoring Procedures: The Pilot Association has notified the Pilots to stay aboard all arriving ships at anchorage until the following procedures are carried out:

a) The anchor chain is to be brought up and ship is to be stationary.

b) The Pilot will point out landmarks so proper bearings may be obtained and plotted on the charts.

c) Pilots will inform the Master of conditions that he may encounter at the anchorage.

d) The Master will be briefed on currents and time of tide change.


7/16

F-IMS 10-11

Fleet Reg 8.6


e) All pilots must record the ships bearings on the back of their Pilot Orders.

In order to assist the attending Pilot, the Master should inform him on boarding of any special characteristics of his vessel, such as port manoeuvring speeds, turning circle,

compass error and exact draft.

Anchor Watch: Due to usually congested anchorages, strong tidal current, occasional fresh winds and traffic, all Masters are cautioned to maintain a continuous bridge anchor

watch by a deck officer with engine on stand-by. Anchor bearings should be taken frequently and plotted to ensure proper anchor holding. During change of tides, the anchor

windlass should be in readiness with a deck officer standing by. If an anchorage becomes dangerously congested after a ship has been anchored, the ships Master may request

Agent to (a) send a Pilot to relocate vessel to a safer anchorage, or (b) send a tug to assist vessel in turning during a change in tide, or to stand by during fresh wind conditions.

PILOTAGE: Compulsory for foreign flag ships, and US ships bound to and from foreign ports. 24 hours notice of ETA required. NY NJ Sandy Hook Pilot boat should be contacted

on VHF Channel 16, call Ambrose Pilot, pilot vessel also on Channels 13, 8 and 73 or ship-to-ship Channel 2638 or 2738. Vessels requiring Pilot should hoist signal letter G in

daytime. In foggy weather the letter X should be sounded on whistle. Pilot boat is generally found about 1.5 miles west of Ambrose Light Tower. In bad weather, pilot tries to stay

windward of normal pilot station. In poor visibility an inbound ship should make Ambrose Tower and then proceed at slow speed to the Ambrose Channel Sea Buoy while blowing

the letter X on her whistle. If no Pilot is obtained by the time she is in the vicinity of the sea buoy she should then anchor about 0.5 mile to 1 mile north of the line from Ambrose

Tower to the sea buoy and await pilot.

ANCHORAGES: For ships entering from Sandy Hook, there are anchorages in Lower New York Bay, Gravesend Bay, Raritan Bay, and Arthur Kill off Perth Amboy. In the Upper

Bay, anchorages available off Bay Ridge for 30 days and off Stapleton for 48 hours. For vessels entering via Long Island Sound, there are anchorages in the western end of the

Sound and in the East River. Vessels must notify the Captain of the Port when it anchors, of the vessels name, length and draft and its position in the anchorage. Regulations for

anchorages may be found in the 33 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 110.155. Vessels entering New York Harbour are required to have two working anchors, by USCG

Regulations. Also see Approaches.

VHF: All vessels over 100 tons gross are required to keep continuous watch on Channel 13 when in areas where US Inland Water Regulations apply.

VTS became operational in December 1990. Channels to be used are 16, 13, 11, 12 and 14. (Channel 14 for vessels calling).

TUGS: Over 50 private towing and transportation companies registered in the port.

McAllister Brothers. Tel: +1 (212) 269 3200.

Moran Towing. Tel: +1 (203) 625 7800.

TANKER FACILITIES: There is a history of repeated breakouts in the New York area due to sudden wind gusts of up to 60 knots, particularly associated with squalls. Moorings

should, therefore, be kept tight and winch brakes tightened up after moorings have been adjusted.

Arthur Kill:

Perth Amboy: Chevron Oil Co, tanker berth, depth 26 ft. Hess Oil Co, tanker berth, depth 30 ft. Cities Service, tanker berth, depth 34 ft.

Elizabeth, New Jersey:

Chevron Oil Co, one tanker berth, depth 26 ft. Crown Central, one tanker berth, depth 30 ft.

The US Coast Guard has established regulations for oil transfer operations in US waters as a means to avoid oil pollution. These regulations are enforced. The principal items

covered by the new regulations are as follows:

a) designation of person(s) in charge

b) qualifications of person(s) in charge

c) oil transfer procedures

d) emergency shutdown

e) records

f) requirements for oil transfer

g) connections, drip pans

h) Declaration of Inspection

i) supervision by person in charge.

In most instances, an oil Company employed Oil Pollution Prevention

Inspector will board vessel at anchorage to assist with the USCG requirements. In any case, the lighter officer must contact vessel for a joint inspection and completion of a

Declaration of Inspection before oil transfer can be started.

Docking and Mooring: All vessels dock starboard-side-to with the assistance of two tugs. Vessels approach the terminal at time of HW slack with minimal headway. Due to

the shape of the dredged basin all vessels are normally spotted off the berth and then moved broadside into position alongside the breasting islands. Tugs hold vessel in position

while a small line boat runs head and stern lines to pile clusters. Note that the head line cluster is placed well inshore resulting in long (460 ft.) head lines leads. Head and stern

lines cannot be wire due to the inadequacy of the small line boat. See Plan. Due to heavy passing vessel traffic, all mariners are advise to run extra lines to ensure that the vessel

will remain safely in berth at all times. The minimum suggested mooring arrangement is as follows:

Carteret: American Oil Co, tanker Berth M, depth 25 ft.

Bunkers and Fresh Water: no bunkers are available through the pier
