According to a trade circular from Kolkata Port Trust, three new Anchorage points have been created to handle large vessels with no requirements for pilotage. The three points are 24 nautical miles north of Sandheads and 18 nautical miles below the present Point ‘X’ Anchorage.
These Anchorages, namely NX1, NX2 and NX3 and collectively called ‘Inner Sandheads Anchorages’, have drafts of 9.5m, 10m and 10.5m respectively and do not have vessel dimensional (length or beam) constraints. These Anchorages are to be exclusively used for midstream cargo lighterage and topping up of large Bulk carriers such as Capesize, Baby Capes and Panamax vessels, and are not for waiting vessels.
The new Anchorages NX1, NX2 and NX3 lies East of Eastern Channel and are sufficiently well clear of the entrance channel, leaving clear passage for inbound and outbound vessels at the following coordinates:
NX1: 21° 18’15” N / 088°13’45” E
NX2: 21° 16’45” N / 088°14’00” E
NX3: 21° 15’30” N / 088°14’00” E
The charges at the new Anchorages at Inner Sandheads are as follow:
