THE PORT OF MARSDEN POINT The location of this port make it the northern most multi-purpose port in New Zealand and the closest port to the majority of New Zealand's international markets. Northport Limited owns a three berth port facility at Marsden Point together with considerable backup land. Although primarily for the export of forest products, the terminal is a flexible facility catering for large multi-purpose vessels. Marsden Point is a deep water port served by a good road connection. Northland as a province, has much to offer international markets particularly in Forestry, Processed Timber Products, Agricultural, Horticultural Products and Cement which are all exported through these ports. A wide variety of cargoes can be handled at both ports. These include: coal, bagged cement, bulk fertiliser, gypsum, kiwifruit, logs, meat, veneer, triboard, and woodchip.

PILOTAGE With the exception of the bulk cement vessel trading to Portland, all vessels 100 GRT or over have compulsory pilotage. Pilotage and tug services to Marsden Point cargo berths are arranged through Northport Limited. For NZRCo jetty berths they are ordered through the ship’s agent after consultation with the refinery’s marine operations. Pilotage is available on a 24 hour basis. ETA’s should be given with as much notice as possible but at least 24 hours in advance of arrival at the pilot boarding ground. A minimum of 4 hours notice must be given when making changes to an existing order for tugs and pilot. The pilot boarding ground is beyond the Fairway Buoy and marked on charts NZ5214 and NZ521 in position 35° 54.9´S, 174°, 34.6´E. The pilotage from the boarding ground to Marsden Point it is 6 nautical miles

GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR ARRIVAL Vessels call up Whangarei Harbour Radio on VHF Channel 16 and 19 and will be instructed to either anchor or to standby for a pilot up 1 mile ESE of the Fairway Buoy. The pilot boards by pilot boat at the pilot boarding ground. The vessel proceeds in under pilot instructions. The pilot is in radio contact with Northport staff through Whangarei Harbour Radio on VHF Channel 19. The tugs will meet vessels at either No. 3 or No 7 buoys depending on their size. Vessels will invariably berth to the tide. Northport Limited has a requirement that vessels berth bows towards the centre of the wharf and this will be taken into account when scheduling a vessel’s call at the Port.

WEATHER The prevailing wind is south westerly. Occasional strong north easterlies occur near the end of the summer. Fog effecting shipping operations is limited to 2 – 3 days per annum.

DESCRIPTION OF APPROACH CHANNELS The approach to the refinery jetties has a shallowest depth of 14.7m at chart datum between the Fairway Buoy and No 1 buoy. The least width of 190m is between No 3 and No. 6 buoys. Tidal streams are strongest in the area of No. 7 buoy where rates up to 3 knots may be experienced. For vessels proceeding to Northport’s Marsden Point cargo berths the controlling depth is 13m at chart datum. The swinging basin has a maximum width of 420m. For vessels proceeding to the Northport Limited Marsden Point Jetty berth the controlling depth is 7.8m at chart datum. From One Tree Point up to Whangarei the channel is shallower and narrower with a charted channel least depth at chart datum of 7.0m. The minimum width for most of its length is 90m. The least charted depth to Portland is 4.6m. Tidal streams at Marsden Point can be up to 3 knots on a spring tide. WAVE RIDER BUOY: There is a wave rider buoy situated on the starboard side of the channel midway between the Fairway buoy and No 1 buoy. It is marked with an orange flashing light. Vessels should not attempt to navigate between the Fairway Buoy and No. 1 buoy.

NAVIGATIONAL AIDS The port is well lit with beacons and leading lights. Vessels may enter by day or by night. There is no shore based radar control of vessels. Radio control is through Whangarei Harbour Radio and local pilots.

TIDAL DATA

MHWS MHWN MLWN MLWS Marsden Point 2.6 2.3 0.7 0.4 Levels given are above chart datum.

DESCRIPTION OF TIDE REGIME WHANGAREI HARBOUR

The range in tide increases the further up the harbour a vessel progresses. High water at Whangarei is approx. 33 minutes after high water at Marsden Point and low water Whangarei is approx. 14 minutes after low water Marsden Point, i.e. the tide is always lagging behind Marsden Point at Whangarei.

NORTHPORT LIMITED - PORT INFORMATION Port of Marsden Point, New Zealand

Northport Limited - Port Information Rev:08 Page 8 Ref: TG:CW May 2007

MAXIMUM DRAFTS The Whangarei Harbour ports are tidal, with the following max draft criteria at any state of the tide applying to vessels bound for or leaving from: M.P – No 1,2 & 3 cargo berths Max Draft @ HW 11.80m (Port/Starboard side to berth) Max Draft @ LW 11.80m Refer to draft criteria below for draft restrictions Marsden Jetty Berth Max Draft 7.8m

DOCKWATER DENSITY At Marsden Point it is sea water - 1025

SHIP MANOEUVRING CRITERIA

UNDER KEEL CLEARANCE

The ports work on a minimum 10% under keel clearance for manoeuvring purposes.

TIMING FOR MARSDEN POINT

Boarding times for Northport’s Marsden Point wharves are subject to whether the vessel is required to berth port or starboard side to the berth (Northport Limited has a requirement that vessels, with the exception of fertiliser and chip ships, are berthed with bows towards the centre of the wharves). Some larger vessels will only be handled near slack water. For information on the day refer to Northport. Berthing at the Marsden Point Cargo wharves is dependent on tidal streams not under keel clearance with the maximum draft of 11.8m being applicable for all states of the tide. For vessels with greater arrival and departure draft conditions, tide restrictions apply.

DRAFT CRITERIA FOR MARSDEN POINT

Arrival Drafts: < 11.8m – Any state of the tide Arrival Drafts: > 11.8m to 13m - Tide restricted from 1 hr before HW to 1 hr before LW. Departure Drafts: < 11.8m – Any state of the tide Departure Drafts: V/ls > 180m or Draft > 11.8m – Slack water or at pilot’s discretion and are

dependent on weather, tidal stream and positions of other ships at the terminal.

Northport Limited - Port Information Rev:08 Page 9 Ref: TG:CW May 2007

WEATHER CRITERIA

The figures given are for guidance purposes only. Depending on wind gust strength and direction, the pilot may make a judgement call on a ship by ship basis to increase or decrease the weather criteria. • Indicative maximum wind strength for normal ship handling at Marsden Point

Cargo Wharves should be 30 knots mean wind speed. • For high sided vessel such as car carriers and chip ships, the indicative

maximum wind speed should be 20 knots mean wind speed.

DETAILS OF WHARVES

WHANGAREI WHARVES

These wharves are privately owned. The owners need to be contacted directly to arrange berthing requirements.

MARSDEN POINT WHARVES

Wharf Length Max Length

above C.D Remarks

No 1,2&3 570m 240m 13.0m 5.0m General/Bulk Cargo MP Wharf 134.1m 110m 7.8m 5.0m The No 1, 2 & 3 berths are designed as a 3 berth facility to accommodate a combination of various length vessels with an aggregate of 480m. Various lengths can be accommodated .

ARR/DEP CRITERIA FOR MARSDEN POINT BERTHS Subject to the pilot’s discretion, the following conditions apply:

a) Length of ships at the berth. Under normal circumstances the maximum aggregate length of the three ships should not exceed 480m. This allows for an absolute minimum spacing of 20m between ships and 5m at either end for the lines to be squared off.

b) Where a vessel has to be berthed between 2 already berthed vessels, the minimum space required will be the ship’s length plus 80m (This is required because it is a new operation and will be reviewed after some experience is gained)

c) Vessels will normally arrive and depart at any time during the tidal cycle as required by the ships agent subject to Draft and DUKC criteria.

NORTHPORT LIMITED - PORT INFORMATION Port of Marsden Point, New Zealand

Northport Limited - Port Information Rev:08 Page 10 Ref: TG:CW May 2007

d) The pilot or Northport may delay any vessel on account of high winds or exceptional swell.

e) Vessels of greater than 180m LOA and/or greater than 11.8m draft (10.5m whilst dredging continues) may be restricted to an appropriate tidal window for departures. This is particularly so in the case of the western and centre berths (No. 2 berth) when there is a ship at the eastern No. 3 berth.

f) When two vessels working logs are at adjacent berths or planned to be, then berthing may be delayed to allow for ships to berth bow to bow to allow for HSE requirements on the wharf.

CARGO HANDLING
