1.4 Approaches From the pilot station at Westereems fairway buoy, vessels bound for Delfzijl sail via Westereems, Ranselgat, Doekegat and Oost Friesche Gaatje to the entrance near Oterdum. Vessels bound for Eemshaven sail via Westereems, Ranselgat and Doekegat to the entrance of Eemshaven. Distance from pilot station to Delfzijl quay: 37 nautical miles. Distance from pilot station to Eemshaven quay: 23 nautical miles. The Zeehavenkanaal in Delfzijl offers vessels an operational draught of about 9.0 metres under mean HW conditions. At present, Eemshaven offers an operational draught of about 10.5 metres under mean HW conditions. With respect to the operational draught for both the ports, a keel clearance of 10 per cent of the draught is applicable. Anchorage at Delfzijl: vessels up to 100 metres long which have to anchor outside the piers can anchor on the Oterdum roads northeast of the harbour entrance. Larger vessels or vessels carrying dangerous cargo should anchor in the Doekegat or Oude Westereems near Eemshaven. Request for anchorage should be applied at the Vessel Traffic Centre Ems, VHF Channel 18 or 20. Anchorage is forbidden in the ports of Delfzijl and Eemshaven. 2 Services 2.1 Vessel traffic services 2.1.1 River Ems An integrated German/Dutch radar chain has been installed along the River Ems comprising the radar stations Borkum (Germany), Oudeschip 1+2 (Netherlands), Knock (Germany) and Wybelsum (Germany). This radar chain is controlled by Vessel Traffic Centre Ems. Radar assistance can be provided when visibility is less than 2,000 metres and/or when the pilot cutter is cruising off Borkum in strong winds. Radar stations operate on a regular basis. Guidance and assistance can be provided according to the table below.

12 2.1.2 Delfzijl and Eemshaven A modern VTS centre has been constructed in both Delfzijl and Eemshaven. Uptodate traffic information, guidance and radar assistance are provided on a 24 hour basis using three radar installations, twenty three CCTV cameras and two hydro/ meteorological units. Traffic information Area Regular port Delfzijl/Eemshaven 66 operations Oosterhornhaven, Farmsumerhaven VTS Delfzijl radar (callsign) 03 Eemshaven radar (callsign) 01 General Delfzijl/Eemshaven 66 information Oosterhornhaven, Farmsumerhaven Provincial sea locks 26 including Weiwerderbridge 84 and Heemkesbridge VHF Channel 2.1.3 Harbourmaster The Harbourmaster of Groningen Seaports is responsible for the day to day running of the Nautical Service Centre. The Harbourmaster is appointed by the managing director of Groningen Seaports and his specific task is to ensure that the handling of the traffic and cargo in the port of Delfzijl and the Eemshaven is coordinated safe, efficient, and environmentally sustainable. He also advises the management of Groningen Seaports regarding nautical affairs and is responsible to the Mayors of the Municipalities of the ports, regarding ISPS issues and safety issues when these can affect the surrounding population. When safety issues involve more than one Municipality the Province of Groningen is also consulted. The Harbourmaster liaises closely with Rijkswaterstaat and the Wasser und Shifffahrtsamt when special transports are planned or in case of incidents involving ships that will transit the Eems. 2.1.4 Nautical Service Centre (NSC) The NSC is responsible for planning and coordination of shipping movements in and around the port of Delfzijl and Eemshaven and is manned on a 24 hour basis. The VTS authorities of the River Ems (Rijkswaterstaat) and Groningen Seaports work closely together in the NSC, which forms the hub of a network keeping in contact with vessels and organizations active in the port area and providing ship related services. Groningen Seaports operates a vessel traffic management system (VTMS) which consists of a vessel traffic service (VTS) and a vessel information system (IVS). The IVS allows instantaneous and fast interchange of data not only between similar national networks but also between local facility services, ship agents, government services, port state control, etc. The VTS monitors shipping movements constantly, covering the roads of, and approaches to, Delfzijl and Eemshaven, as well as main fairways and adjacent harbour basins. A primary communications system is available for the Ems Traffic radar chain along the River Ems, with a direct line to the central VTS station at Knock (Germany). All VTS related work is performed at a fully equipped console desk. Communication procedures Information Being at the centre of activity, VTS operators are able to pass on a lot of key information to users of the VTS network. Although a great deal of information is available at the NSC, only required information will be passed on in accordance with VTS communications procedures. Responsibility The shipmaster is responsible for safe navigation in all circumstances. The VTS operator only gives information that can help the shipmaster in making his own decisions. Existing traffic regulations will always prevail. Listen carefully Ship masters must listen carefully to the VHF channel of the sector they are passing through. The sector s VHF channels are displayed on signs along the fairway. In this way, vessels can stay informed about the traffic situation in the sector where they are navigating. Traffic information VTS operators will contact vessels when necessary for example, when vessels are close to each other but cannot see one another. Ship masters can also contact VTS operators, but only if they need essential traffic information and the relevant information is not at hand. Navigation assistance More detailed information can be provided, including position data, where visibility is down to 2,000 metres or less. Navigation assistance can be provided in Delfzijl only within the range of the VTS. In special circumstances, navigation assistance can be provided when visibility is good. In this case, when navigation aids on board are not working correctly, assistance should be requested via the sector VHF channel. Traffic directions These are issued in the form of instructions by the competent authorities and can be given by them or on their behalf by the VTS operator on the relevant sector s VHF channel. General information/shipping broadcast General information not directly concerning nautical traffic information can be given on VHF Channel 66. A general shipping message is broadcast on VHF Channel 66 every 10 minutes past even hours. These uptodate messages report on meteorological conditions, tidal levels, horizontal visibility, the fairway, the sea locks, berth occupation, dredging and other work in progress, special transports, etc. They are followed by a weather forecast. Vessels may switch over to this channel when instructed to do so by the VTS operator. When switching over to this channel on their own initiative, vessels should first report this proposed action on the sector s VHF channel. Always keep a listening watch to the relevant sector s VHF channel. Radio discipline Correct radio discipline means that communications should be brief. Arrangements with other vessels concerning shipping regulations can also be made directly on the sector s VHF channel or via the VTS operator. The VTS operator may disconnect direct contact between vessels in the interest of safety. He will, of course, report this immediately to shipping in the sector. Official languages English and Dutch are the official languages for communication between vessels and the traffic centre. This rule may be deviated from only when safety is at risk.

2.2 Pilotage 2.2.1 Compulsory pilotage area Regulations for maritime traffic and pilotage in Dutch waters are laid down by the Loodsplichtwet (Pilotage Act) and the Scheepvaartverkeerswet (Maritime Traffic Act). The Scheepvaartverkeerswet states that masters of seagoing vessels must use the services of a pilot when navigating on a fairway mentioned in this Act. The River Ems, except the area south of Geisedam, but including the Port of Delfzijl, the fairway from the locks at Delfzijl into the Oosterhornhaven, the Port of Eemshaven and a part of the territorial sea bordered by a line from position: 53 34.7 N, 06 21.9 E to 53 34.9 N, 06 13.7 E to 53 37.1 N, 06 19.5 E to 53 39.0 N, 06 27.1 E and to 53 37.5 N, 06 31.2 E, which are mentioned as compulsory pilotage areas. Vessels obliged to use pilot services on these fairways Seagoing vessels longer than 90.00 metres. Vessels built for or adjusted to and used for transport of oil, gas or chemicals in bulk and fully or partially loaded. Even when these are empty but not yet degassed or when dangerous residue has not yet been removed, they are subject to general compulsory pilotage. Vessels carrying such quantities of dangerous cargo as established by the Ministry of Transport and Public Works. Pilotage exemptions There is a possibility to obtain exemption (please see map below).

The BVD/E provides mooring and unmooring services to seagoing vessels calling at Delfzijl and Eemshaven. The main service to shipping in this area is assistance with mooring, unmooring and shifting. Other services rendered operating bridges, providing fresh water and supervising mooring. In addition, boatmen may be asked to assist with placing vessels in dry dock. The BVD/E has two motor tenders, one in Delfzijl and one in Eemshaven, equipped with VHF transceivers to maintain communications with the vessel in question. These tenders can be used on request in the mooring and unmooring or shifting procedure. They can also assist in underwater surveys and for bringing stores or people to vessels at anchor off Delfzijl and Eemshaven. On request, the BVD/E can provide mooring masters who will assist the ship s crew in mooring, unmooring or shifting. They will also stay in contact with boatmen on shore so that mooring and unmooring procedure can be carried out quickly, easily and safely. For vessels navigating inland waterways, the BVD/E provides canal pilots who bring vessels to berths in the Eemskanaal, Winschoterdiep and Farmsumerhaven. A canal pilot can also be provided for vessels sailing to Groningen through the Eemskanaal. The Nautical Service Centre (NSC) of Groningen Seaports coordinates all activities of the BVD/E. The Boatmen stay in contact with the NSC at all times using modern communication equipment and also have contact with vessels via their mobile VHF transceivers. The ship master and/or pilot must apply for assistance of boatmen for mooring or unmooring at least one hour before arrival at the berth or before departure. 2.5 Border control The Koninklijke Marechaussee (Military Police) generally performs border control duties in the ports of Delfzijl and Eemshaven. All ships with destination Groningen Seaports will be checked. The ship master is obliged to cooperate during border control duties.

In brief, the Dutch Customs Administration Inspects goods that are about to enter, leave or cross Dutch territory. Levies and collects taxes and domestic excise. Contributes to the regulation of the Dutch and European market. Performs tasks to help protect the quality of life. 2.7 Port reception facilities For the disposal and collection of waste, the Port Waste Plan is applicable in the ports of Delfzijl and Eemshaven. This plan details the collection of waste and the reception facilities available. Waste disposal at Groningen Seaports requires completing a form, to be downloaded via www.groningenseaports.com. Actual and detailed information regarding the disposal of waste can be obtained via the Nautical Service Centre of Groningen Seaports. Disposing and paying In accordance with the law, seagoing vessels must pay an indirect contribution for the collection and processing of shipgenerated waste. Vessels entering a port thus pay a charge; even if they do not dispose any waste. After payment of the fee, vessels receive a right to dispose. This right is measured according to an amount which depends on the vessel s gross tonnage (gt)(see table below).

3 Description of the ports Groningen Seaports comprises the ports of Delfzijl and Eemshaven. The port of Delfzijl offers general cargo transhipment facilities and hosts in its near surroundings a chemical cluster (base chemicals) and (light) metallurgic industry, and various SME business parks. Eemshaven contains a park dedicated to the production of energy. Moreover a huge recycling industry developed in this port which basically structures cargo transhipment and storage facilities for bulk, RoRo, and general cargo. The sections below detail the inferior parts of the ports. 3.1.1.2 Zeehavenkanaal Vessels proceeding through the harbour entrance arrive directly in the Zeehavenkanaal. Going westwards, the Zeehavenkanaal gradually narrows. Navigable width is 100 metres throughout in a westerly direction, with the exception of a small part near to the Akzo Nobel salt jetty where the width is 80 metres. All vessels navigating Zeehavenkanaal have right of way over vessels coming from the access channel to the sea locks. Established industries have private mooring facilities in the Zeehavenkanaal area. These jetties and berths are located along the Zeehavenkanaal in such a way that the channel width of 100 metres, except near the Akzo jetty, is not affected. Private mooring facilities along the Zeehavenkanaal 3.1 Port of Delfzijl The Port of Delfzijl consists of an outer harbour and inner harbour. The outer harbour is divided into three sections Zeehavenkanaal Handelshaven Damsterhaven The inner harbour is divided into three sections Farmsumerhaven Eemskanaal Oosterhornhaven The outer and inner harbours are linked by sea locks. 3.1.1 Outer harbour sections 3.1.1.1 Entrance The entrance is near the deep water of the Oostfriesche Gaatje and lies opposite radar station Knock on the German mainland.
