Pilotage
The use of tugs and their numbers will be as directed by the Harbour Master.
Prior to arrival, vessels should ensure that heaving lines of adequate length and breaking strain are readily available to assist in securing tugs.
Tugs will normally meet incoming vessels at a position close south of Outer Skerry for the North Entrance and close south of Samphrey for the SE Entrance. Officers and crew should be standing by to receive lines, and all necessary tugs must be secured before the vessel’s ability to manoeuvre becomes restricted.
Normally 4 tugs are required for inward movements and 2 for outward.
When a vessel is berthing, tugs will be secured to the bow and stern of the vessel with towing lines and alongside in a push pull mode. Their mode of operation and disposition will be fully explained by the pilot on arrival. Tug lines will normally be used throughout, either from a towing winch or occasionally a towing hook.

Tankers can load to a maximum draft of 16.8 metres at Jetty 1, 22.1 metres at Jetty 2; 24 metres at Jetty 3 and 22.6 metres at Jetty 4.
In addition to liquid bulk cargo the port can handle quarried rock and general, dry, bulk, ro-ro and containerised cargo in relatively small vessels of up to 120 metres working at shallow draft jetties
