3 The Legal Background The Port of Sunderland is a municipally-owned undertaking owned by Sunderland City Council (as successor to Sunderland County Borough and Sunderland Borough Councils) and is an independent statutory body. It was established as a Statutory Harbour Authority (SHA) under the Sunderland Corporation Act, 1972, Section 14 of which provides that The Corporation are hereby constituted the harbour undertakers and they and the harbour master shall exercise jurisdiction within the port. The Port of Sunderland is a competent harbour authority (CHA) under the provisions of the Pilotage Act, The Act confers powers upon a harbour authority to provide pilotage services, where that authority has statutory powers in relation to the regulation of shipping and the safety of navigation within its harbour and whose harbour falls wholly or partly within a former pilotage district. Under Section 7 of this Act, the Port of Sunderland as CHA, has made pilotage compulsory for certain vessels. Four statutory instruments available to harbour authorities, which they may use in regulating harbour areas, namely: a) Byelaws b) Special Directions c) General Directions d) Pilotage Directions The Port of Sunderland has the statutory instruments (a), (b) and (d) available. Instrument (c), which is not available at present may be adopted following application for a Harbour Revision Order. 3

4 Port of Sunderland Marine Policy Statement In the Port of Sunderland, we conduct our activities to take the foremost account of the safety of marine and land-based personnel, contractors, neighbours, visiting vessels, fishing community, leisure and other users of the River Wear and to give proper regard to the conservation of the natural environment. In implementing this policy we will not only comply with all relevant national and international legislation but will also promote initiatives, which benefit health and safety, and the environment of all who may be affected by our activities and which safeguard the natural environment. We adopt a systematic approach to health, safety and environmental management and strive for continuous improvement by setting targets against which we measure, appraise and report performance. Safety and environmental performance is included in the appraisal of all our personnel and is awarded accordingly. All our long-term contractors and service providers who participate in marine operations have adopted this policy and they operate fully within our management system. We require other contractors and service providers to manage health, safety and the environment in line with this policy. Safety We believe that the majority of injuries can be prevented; High standards of safety consciousness and discipline will be maintained; We have designed and will maintain our activities to minimise risk to employees, contractors and third parties. Environment We are committed to protecting the natural environment; We will promote environmental awareness and performance throughout the River Wear waterways; We will strive to minimise hazards to the environment and maintain effective protection and recovery measures within the River wear and the Docks system. Excellence in safety and environment management are key objectives at the Port of Sunderland. Improving safety and minimising damage to our environment will undoubtedly lead to enhanced efficiency and business success. The Port of Sunderland s Marine Policy aims to demonstrate its commitment to the safe and responsible operation of our port and harbour by detailing areas of primary concern (which are based on the requirements of the Port Marine Safety Code). Linked to this policy, the Port of Sunderland has prepared plans detailing the precise manner in which this policy is to be implemented. The Marine Policy can also be found on the port s website. 4

10 SECTION 3: CONSERVANCY 3.1 Conservancy The Harbour Authority shall endeavour and has a duty to conserve its harbour to ensure that it is reasonably fit for use as a port, taking reasonable care to ensure that it is in a fit condition for a vessel to resort to it. The conservancy duty covers specific requirements, which are outlined in the Code as follows: to survey (and re-survey as regularly as necessary) and find the best navigable channel or channels; to place and maintain navigation marks where they will be of best advantage to navigation (marked appropriately by day and night); to keep vigilant watch for any changes in the sea or river bed affecting the channel or channels and move or renew navigation marks as appropriate; to keep proper hydrographic and hydrological records; to publish as conspicuously as possible such information as will supplement the guidance given by navigation marks. 3.2 Marine Conservancy The port has an effective programme of Hydrographic Survey designed to establish and confirm the depths of channels, fairways and berths, and to inform the Harbour Master and port users of any shoaling or new obstructions. This function will also ensure that any necessary dredging is carried out safely and in good time, and that new charts are issued upon the completion of dredging works. The Marine conservancy function will also ensure that all physical aids to navigation are correctly positioned and maintained according to the requirements of the appropriate General Lighthouse Authority (GLA), and that all changes in depths, navigation aids, or arising due to development are immediately promulgated, and forwarded to the UKHO for inclusion on official charts. Tidal measurements and accurate predictions will also be an important part of the conservancy function. 3.3 Hydrography The Harbour Authority will use all appropriate means to find, mark and monitor the best navigable channel or channels in its harbour. It will promulgate, as appropriate, relevant hydrographic information associated with its harbour, including information relating to navigational hazards. 3.4 Local Lighthouse Authority Duties The Harbour Authority, in its role as a local lighthouse authority (LLA), will seek to maintain applicable aids to navigation in accordance with the availability criteria laid down by the 10

11 General Lighthouse Authorities (GLAs). There are procedures in place for inspecting, maintaining and reporting the availability of Aids to Navigation (A to N) 3.5 Admiralty Charts The Harbour Authority will seek to work closely with the Hydrographic Office to ensure that relevant information required for inclusion within Admiralty Charts and publications is made widely available. 3.6 Wrecks The Harbour Authority will ensure that its marine safety management systems require a risk assessment to be undertaken of any wreck in, or in the approaches to the harbour which may cause a danger to navigation. 3.7 Prevailing Conditions The Harbour Authority will ensure, so far as practicable, that information is made available regarding prevailing and forecast meteorological conditions and, where necessary, their affect on the operation of the harbour. A reduced visibility procedure for the port is in place. 3.8 Anchorages The Harbour Authority will ensure that appropriate provision is made for designating safe anchorages in its harbour and, where necessary, the approaches to the harbour. 11

12 SECTION 4: MANAGEMENT OF NAVIGATION 4.1 Port Control The Harbour Authority has established and operates a Local Port Services (LPS) Port Control, the call sign of which is Sunderland Harbour Radio. Radio Distress, safety and calling: Channel 16 Port Operations (Primary): Channel 14 Port Operations (Secondary): Channel 11 (In-port pilotage, berthing, mooring and towage) Telephone FAX +44 (0) (0) (0) (0) sunderlandharbourradio@portofsunderland.com Local Port Services (LPS) Local Port Services (LPS) is an organisation ashore that only provides information to the bridge team and does not interact with traffic. LPS is designed to improve port safety and co-ordination of port services by dissemination of port information with vessels and berth or terminal operators. It is mainly concerned with the management of the port, by the supply of information on berth and port conditions. LPS can also provide liaison between vessels and allied services. Examples of LPS may include: Shipping schedules; Meteorological and Hydrological data; Berthing information; Availability of port services. 4.2 Directions and Passage Plans The Harbour Authority utilises and promotes the use of appropriately detailed passage plans within its harbour. 4.3 Passage Record Keeping The Harbour Authority has suitable arrangements in place to assist in securing access to vessel passage plans in the event that they may be needed for incident investigation purposes. 12

13 4.4 Surveillance The Port of Sunderland maintains surveillance facilities to ensure byelaw compliance and enforce navigational safety polices by way of remote surveillance with CCTV cameras, Radar and Automatic Identification System (AIS). These systems are supported by documentation and procedures. 13

14 SECTION 5: PILOTAGE In accordance with current legislation and guidance, there will be a continual process of review and risk assessment to determine the level and type of service to be provided and to identify the safe boarding and landing areas associated with the service. The Port of Sunderland has operational procedures, guidelines and Directions. 5.1 Pilotage statement The Harbour Authority will keep under consideration whether any and, if so, what pilotage services need to be provided to secure the safety of ships navigating in, or in the approaches to, its harbour. It will also consider whether, in the interests of safety, pilotage should be compulsory for ships navigating in any part of that harbour or its approaches. If compulsory pilotage is deemed necessary, the authority will consider which ships this should be applied and in what circumstances. It will also consider the pilotage service to be provided for those ships. Should the use of the harbour change, pilotage services will be reviewed to ensure that the service provided continues to meet requirements. Having considered the above, the Port of Sunderland Harbour Authority ensures that the appropriate level of pilotage service is provided. 5.2 Pilotage Directions The Harbour Authority ensures that its pilotage directions define the circumstances in which pilotage is to be compulsory, how, and to which vessels they apply, and in what circumstances. In providing a pilotage service, the Harbour Authority has considered the possibility that the master of a vessel may ask for a pilot even when not required to take one by Pilotage Directions. The Harbour Authority will make allowances for such requests and refer to them when reviewing whether in any circumstances pilotage should become compulsory. 5.3 Excepted Vessels The Harbour Authority ensures that the risks associated with vessels to which the requirements of pilotage directions may not apply are adequately managed. 5.4 Limits of Jurisdiction In the event that the Harbour Authority considers that pilotage should be compulsory for ships navigating in any area outside its harbour, it will, if appropriate, apply for a harbour revision order to be made to extend its limits for the purposes of pilotage to include that area. 14

15 SECTION 6: PRE-ARRIVAL PROCEDURE FOR PEC 6.1 Port Control will assist in the co-ordination of all Marine functions and port services 6.2 Vessels wishing to obtain information should call Port Control on VHF Ch 14. Masters or agents of vessels INWARD BOUND for any berth within the Port of Sunderland requiring the services of an authorised pilot must give at least 12 hours advance notice to Port Control with an ETA at the seaward limit of the Port of Sunderland Pilotage Area, stating at least the following information: (pre-arrival checklist form annexed) a) Vessel s name b) Call sign c) LOA d) GT / GRT and NT / NRT e) Air Draft (if appropriate) f) Actual Deepest Draft and DWT g) Summer Draft h) Destination i) ETA at pilot boarding position j) Last Port of call k) Berthing orders, if known l) Cargo details m) If pilot required. n) PEC number and name, if appropriate o) Any known defects p) Any other relevant information. q) Current vessel security level, as per ISPS Code r) Amount and type of fuel on board 6.3 ETA must be confirmed by VHF not later than 2 hours prior to arrival at the seaward limit of the area. The 2 hour confirmation notice is required in all cases. 6.4 Masters or agents of vessels OUTWARD BOUND from any berth within the Port of requiring the services of an authorised pilot to proceed to sea or to move a vessel between berths in the Port of Sunderland Pilotage area must give advance notice to Port Control as follows: a) 2 hours notice required. b) Vessels must provide information as listed in section (6.2) as a minimum and (see Pre-arrival checklist ). 15

16 SECTION 7: VESSELS USING PORT OF SUNDERLAND 7.1 Reporting Points (see Chart indexed) Vessels should call Sunderland Harbour Radio when approaching the harbour limits and a continuous listening watch should then be maintained on VHF channel 14. The pilot should call Port Control: To confirm that he is present on the bridge of the vessel. At the Bar (pilot should request a tide gauge reading from Port Control and an update on status of vessel traffic, locks and bridges). At this point VHF Channel 11 will be used VHF 11 for in-port pilotage, berthing, mooring and towage operations. When leaving the turning basin inwards to the berth. When securely moored alongside. 7.2 Vessels Outward Bound Outbound vessels are required to give 2 hours notice for a pilot. A pilot should endeavour to be on board slightly before the designated boarding time. The agent will designate boarding time for upriver berths after discussion with Port Control. In the enclosed docks, boarding time is normally a minimum of 15 minutes before departure time (sometimes more) and foyboatmen and any tugs will be ordered to attend at the same time. On first boarding, the pilot should make his way to the bridge and introduce himself to the master. The master/pilot exchange should be conducted and the passage plan discussed. It should be ascertained that the vessel is ready to sail in all respects (this includes hatch lids being in position and secured). 7.4 Enclosed Docks The dock gatemen will work to a predetermined programme. When first boarding the pilot should contact Port Control on VHF channel 11 to confirm the vessel is ready to leave the berth. The pilot will report when leaving the berth and when passing through the cut from Hendon Dock into Hudson Dock (Hendon Junction). Once in the half tide basin and running down, contact should be made with Port Control and a traffic report requested. When the dock gates and bridge are fully opened, the vessel should only proceed when the master and pilot agree that it is safe to do so. Once clear of the dock, Port Control should be informed. 16

17 7.5 River Berths Port Control should be contacted when the pilot boards and/or local traffic movement information sought. Port Control should also be informed as the vessel begins singling up and is about to leave the berth. This information can then be broadcast to other vessels. (see Chart indexed) 7.6 Reporting Points/VHF Watch Vessels outward bound must maintain a continuous listening watch on VHF channel 11 and report when passing the breakwaters. Vessels should also report: a) When clear of the berth or lock b) At the Bar c) When the pilot has disembarked d) If anchoring and not proceeding to sea e) When leaving the Port of Sunderland District. 7.7 Information Broadcasts A Marine and Safety Information Broadcast, comprising weather reports, tidal information and navigational warnings should be made by Port Control on VHF Ch 14 when deemed necessary by the Port Control officer. In addition, in reduced visibility, frequent visibility reports should be broadcast. Additional information regarding safety of navigation and movement of shipping can be obtained on request. 7.8 Mooring Guidelines When determining the number and disposition of mooring lines to be used for the securing of vessels alongside, the following information is only to be used as a guideline in all cases: Dwt to Head/stern lines Back springs ,500 7, ,000 15, ,000 20, ,000 45, The above table represents the minimum number of lines recommended. The Master of the vessel may increase the number and disposition of mooring lines at his discretion. 17
