TGM TERMINAL

 

This terminal is specialized in grains.

 

Remarks:

1) As per pilot regulation vessel with 12 meters of draft must sail with not less than 1 meter of tide maintained during not less than 3 or 4 hrs.

2) At Montevideo port, due to lack of regular maintenance by port authorities, normally the lowest depth points are always next to the pier due to soft mud accumulation. From sea side the depth is always much more.

3) Considering the above provided information is highly recommendable include the NAABSA clause for vessels calling MVD.

 

- Main channel is dredged at 12 meters to 0 tide level in all is extension.

LA TEJA TERMINAL

 

This terminal is operated by ANCAP (state refinery) and is located at the North part of the Montevideo bay, at the end of La Teja access main channel.

 

Depending on the product to be discharged and/or to be loaded vessels will berth either at North pier or at South pier. Terminal has also pier West but it is not being used.

 

Berthing is allowed any time as there is no restrictions either for berthing or for unberthing maneuverings during night time, so ships will be able to proceed alongside or leave the terminal whenever needed, 24 hours a day subject to availability of shore mooring personnel.

 

Pilot's boarding position as ref only as follow: 35º 00 South / 056º 13 West .

Final embarking position to be coordinated with pilot boat Ederra by VHF channel 11 or 16.

 

Density of water as ref. only:  1005 / 1012 (brakish water) affected by winds’ direction and intensity.

 

North Pier: Location: 34°52'43.98"S / 56°13'55.99"0

Products: to load/discharge oil products in general including luboils.

Vessel's side alongside: usually portside (vessel must be turned at La Teja basin on arrival)

Maximum LOA: abt 180 mts subject to ANCAP approval.

Maximum BEAM: abt 30 mts subject to ANCAP approval.

Connection: shore hoses connections 10 Inches

Rate: to be fixed between Terminal and vessel

Gangway: vessel's gangway to be used

De-ballasting: no special requirements (ballast exchange acc to international regulations)

Draft alongside: Maximum recommendable draft according to pilots either for berthing or for unberthing is 21 feet with tide level not less than 0,70 mts. The tide is affected basically by winds’s direction and intensity. Astronomical tide has a secondary influence. Winds from the South improve the tide level and from the North reduce the same.

 

Remarks:

- Q88 must be sent to Terminal to get the vessel approval.

- The draft of the vessel must be kept constant all times or at least not exceed the admissible draft.

- The crane of the vessel must be 100 % operative to assist in the necessary connections.

 

South Pier: Location: 34°52'49.16"S / 56°1356.70"

Products:  to discharge LPG and to load/discharge oil products.

Vessel's side alongside: usually starboard side (vessel must be turned at La Teja basin on arrival)

Maximum LOA: abt 130 mts subject to ANCAP approval.

Maximum BEAM: abt 30 mts subject to ANCAP approval.

Connection: shore hoses connections, 6 Inches for Gas products, 8 Inches for others.

Rate: to be fixed between Terminal and vessel

Gangway: vessel's gangway to be used

De-ballasting: no special requirements (ballast exchange acc to international regulations)

Draft alongside: Maximum recommendable draft according to pilots either for berthing or for unberthing is 21 feet with tide level not less than 0,70 mts. The tide is affected basically by winds’s direction and intensity. Astronomical tide has a secondary influence. Winds from the South improve the tide level and from the North reduce the same.

 

Remark:

- Q88 must be sent to Terminal to get the vessel approval.

- The draft of the vessel must be kept constant all times or at least not exceed the admissible draft.

- The crane of the vessel must be 100 % operative to assist in the necessary connections.

 

Access channel depth: Please note that according to the information of our advisor pilot the depth of the channel is from 7m to 8m so the draft limitation is not at the channel, it is next to the pier.

 

ISPS information: Terminal complies with ISPS code being its PFSO details as follows:

Services available at La Teja Terminal:

 

De-slopping ops, if needed, is possible. The procedure is to take a sample upon ship's arrival to be sent to laboratory for analysis. Afterward, subject to results of mentioned analysis, de-slopping will be authorized or not.

 

Garbage to be disposed, if needed, only via service boat either before or after cargo operation if it’s finally authorized by Terminal.

 

Fresh water is available at the Terminal to be delivered by means of hoses. Please consider that the loading rate is very low.
