This means that once a new edition is published it will be continuously revised by its Editor for a period

of approximately 3 years using information received in the UKHO, and then republished During the

life of the book, it is updated as necessary by notices published weekly at Section IV of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners These updates will normally be restricted to those critical to the safety of

navigation, and information required to be published as a result of changes to national legislation affecting shipping, and to port regulations.

It is recommended that updates are kept in a file with the latest list of updates in force on top The list should then be consulted when using the parent book to see if any changes, affecting the area under consideration, are in force Mariners may also annotate the parent book with the relevant week number at affected paragraphs to indicate the presence of an update It is not recommended that changes be pasted into the parent book.

Promulgation of Section IV and VII Notices to Mariners

Section IV and VII Notices to Mariners are published weekly in ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners.

A check list of all extant Notices, but not the text, is published quarterly at the end of Sections IV and

VII respectively of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners.

This volume, published annually, contains the full text of all extant Section IV and VII Notices.

1 Bahía Cook (551000S 701000W), bounded SE

by Islas Christmas and Isla Hoste, and NW by Isla

Londonderry, is an extensive arm of the sea forming

probably the best approach from SW to the W part of

Canal Beagle (5.243) and Canal O’Brien (5.283)

Though the bay has not been fully surveyed it is free

of dangers in the fairway

Port Authority Puerto Sara is a satellite port of

Punta Arenas, see 7.162

Limiting conditions 7.77

1 Density of water is 1025 g/cm3

Maximum size of vessel handled:

Offshore terminal; length 250 m, draught 149 m,

75 000 dwt

Clean oil quay; length 120m draught 70 m,

2 Local weather Winds from E create a swell which

affects both the offshore terminal and the clean oilquay The prevailing winds are from W and WNW withthe most frequent gales from NW and N; see 7.12

Arrival information 7.78

1 Port operations Berthing and unberthing from the

offshore terminal are undertaken in daylight only at

HW slack which usually occurs about 33 minutesbefore HW Puerto Montt (412891S 725704W).Mariners are advised to anchor off the terminal about

1 hour before the predicted time of slack water;observation of the small buoys marking the flexiblepipelines will give a good indication of the time ofcommencement of slack water, a time which may beadvanced or delayed by the prevailing wind

2 Maximum permitted wind speed during berthing andunberthing operations is 10 m/second (19 kn); duringperiods of winds with an E component the maximumpermitted wind speed is reduced to 5 m/second(10 kn)

3 Berthing is undertaken with the assistance of two tugswhich take ship’s lines to mooring buoys and provide twowires, one on each quarter, laid from permanent moorings

On close approach to the berth the port anchor is let go,good holding ground of mud and shell; the starboardanchor is then let go, over poorer holding ground of rockand pebbles taking care to avoid dragging, and the stern isswung to starboard to make secure at the berth on aheading of 230 As prevailing winds are from W extra linesshould be passed to the appropriate buoys

4 Berthing at San Gregorio Clean Oil Quay is carriedout during daylight at slack water; maximum permittedwind 10 m/second (19 kn), with an E component then
