Port Regulations

Pre-Arrival Notification

Vessels arriving at Terminal Bula must provide ETA, ship data (from the current tonnage certificate), current draught, and required assistance no later than 24 hours prior to arrival or upon departure from the last port.

Berthing Limitations

Pilots and the harbour master determine the feasibility of berthing based on current weather conditions; berthing will not proceed if conditions may compromise the safety of the tanker, tugs, support craft, or their crews.

Maximum Berthing Speed

Berthing speed must be minimized to reduce forces on the jetty and fenders.

Communications

Primary communication uses portable VHF radio on Channel 16 during pre-transfer conference and cargo transfer; a secondary means is verbal communication via the jetty operator.

Smoking Regulation

Smoking is strictly prohibited on the jetties, in the shore terminal area, and onboard vessels alongside the berths, except in designated smoking areas approved jointly by the master and terminal representative.

Drug & Alcohol Policy

Operations will cease if personnel involved are considered not under proper control due to alcohol, drugs, or fatigue; operations will not resume until the matter is resolved.
