ANCHORAGE

For loading timber:

A black and white conical buoy situated 1.2 miles south west from Government Wharf indicated the anchorages. It is important that vessels should anchor as close to this buoy as possible, when anchored further from the shore it may take up to an hour or longer for launches towing rafts of timber to reach ship and in addition there is less shelter from the wind and weather.

For discharging:

Unless it is intended to come alongside the wharf, vessels discharging should anchor 4 cables due South of wharf. Wharf is 750ft long with dolphins placed 100ft from each and giving a total length of 950ft. If discharging into lighters and loading timber simultaneously, vessels should proceed to Timber Anchorage.
