M280-25 Port of Burnie – Declared Depths and Sectors

Following the recent hydrographic survey in the Port, the following declared depths are now applicable.

Vessels will be required to meet the Under Keel Clearance requirements relevant to the areas being transited.

To assist with the identification of declared depth areas within Burnie Harbour, and referencing the attached diagram, sectors have been described as follows:

• General Berth Pockets
• Berth Pockets segmented for larger vessels are noted by way of Additional Areas extending the Berth Pockets.
• New Berth – “Tug Breakwater Berth” has been added to the list.
• The Burnie ‘Turning Circle’ centre has been determined as Latitude 41° 3.117’S Longitude 145° 55.008’E, which gives a radius of 180m and a diameter of 360m, with a least depth of 10.0m.
• Sea corridor is from open water to the Inner Turning Circle.
• Passages connecting Berth Pockets to the Inner Turning Circle are referred to as corridors; refer to the attached diagram.
• This information will be uploaded to the AHO and subsequently defined on the nautical charts.
