1.0 Chilean Maritime Regulations

1.1 Reports
Masters must report their position, course, speed and ETA next port as soon as they enter Chilean National waters, Chilean waters extend to 200 miles from the coast line. These reports are to be sent by TLX to "DIRECTEMARVALPARAISO" (Chilean Maritime Authority). Derivatives within fifty (50) miles from the coast. In accordance with International Regulations ships navigating in Chilean waters must have the required insurance policy against risk of marine pollution. In the event of any pollution, and without prejudice to any responsibility which may be imposed locally, the rules for civil responsibility for marine pollution, as established by International Regulations, will be applied. TLX nbrs: Fax: E-Mail: 330607/230602 +56-32-2208662 mrcchile@directemar.cl
Thereafter Masters must report their position, course and speed at 0800 and 2000 hrs lt every day for the period they are sailing in Chilean waters. If ships are calling at a Chilean port then the ETA at the port must also be included in these reports.
1.2 Use of Flag

During daylight hours, whilst navigating in Chilean National waters, merchant ships shall have their national flag hoisted. When approaching a warship, lighthouse or watching post, ships must also hoist the Chilean flag at the foremast. Foreign and National flag ships in any Chilean port shall have their corresponding International Call Sign in a halyard at the foremast with the Chilean flag above it. Failure to comply with these regulations will incur fines from the authorities.
1.3 Pollution
It is expressly forbidden to throw overboard any ballast, rubbish or waste, or to spill petroleum or any derivative or residue, contaminated waters from mineral processing plants, or any dangerous or noxious substance of any kind whatsoever, either in Chilean waters or, without prior authorisation from the Port Captain. Standing Regulations stipulate that no tanker may dump hydrocarbons or derivatives within fifty (50) miles from the coast. In accordance with International Regulations ships navigating in Chilean waters must have the required insurance policy against risk of marine pollution. In the event of any pollution, and without prejudice to any responsibility which may be imposed locally, the rules for civil responsibility for marine pollution, as established by International Regulations, will be applied.
1.4 Light Dues

The tariff is fixed at a rate in US Dollars per GRT of the ship. Foreign flag ships can pay in one of 6 ways: A) On an Annual Basis This is valid for any number of calls at Chilean Ports between January 1st and December 31st. B) For one Voyage Only Valid from entry in Chilean waters until departure from same. C) Magellan Strait Crossing This option is only for ships not calling at any Chilean port and when making an ocean to ocean passage. D) Ships Calling at one Chilean Port to load full bulk cargo and immediately sail into international waters. E) Ships Calling at one Chilean Port for Drydock repairs. F) Ships Calling for Bunkers, provisions or fresh water only. Kindly consult our Operations Dept. for tariffs applicable.
1.5 Garbage
It is expressly forbidden by the Chilean Agriculture Regulations to disembark garbage at any Chilean port.
1.6 Ballast Water

On arrival at a Chilean port, the master shall deliver to the Maritime Authority a "Ballast Water Report". All vessels proceeding from abroad with sea water in their tanks and intending to unballast at a Chilean port, must renew all ballast water at least once within 12 miles from shore. In case that the vessel has not changed ballast water or cannot prove that indeed she changed same or the maritime authority detects some abnormalities in the characteristics of the water, she will be ordered to shift and renew ballast 12 miles offshore.
1.7 Miscellaneous
A) All ships must be in possession of up to date nautical charts. B) All ships must be in possession of their respective P&I entry certificate in force. C) All ships must be fully compliant with the ISPS Code in force as from July 1st 2004 D) In the event that ships have to wait for pilots or authorities, this must be done in the designated area according to the port plan.
2.0 Magellan Strait and Southern Channels Pilotage

By taking advantage of the geography and entering the channels, vessels can avoid the worst of the weather and treacherous waters, thus increasing safety, protecting cargo, saving time and, therefore, costs. However, pilotage is compulsory for all Foreign and National flag ships navigating inland waterways and channels south of Puerto Montt, and in the Magellan Strait. An application for pilotage must be made via a Chilean ship agents office. There are two main pilotage options:
A ) The "Ocean to Ocean" option is only available to ships that are not calling at a
Chilean Port. A local pilot from Punta Arenas boards at Posesion Bay for Westbound ships and disembarks at Punta Arenas, or vice versa for Eastbound ships. The Master must sail without pilots from/to Cape Pilar (5243'South-7440'West). The disadvantage of this option is that the Master does not have the alternative to continue through the Patagonian Channels up to Golfo de Penas when weather conditions outside the Channels are severe. Applications for pilots must be received by the agents at least two working days in advance.
B ) Full Pilotage is compulsory for all ships calling at any Chilean port except Punta
Arenas. Two pilots are embarked at Posesion Bay and disembarked at Ancud or Laitec pilot station or at the first port of call if it is Valpararso, or a port south of Valparaso. The pilots are also embarked alternatively at Ancud or Laitec, and they disembark at Posesion Bay. This allows ships to sail via inland waters avoiding bad weather. Applications for pilots must be received by the Agent at least three working days in advance. The track of pilotage is previously established by a contract between the pilots' office and the agent. The agent must be kept informed of any delay to the ship's ETA at port of embarkation as otherwise surcharges will be appleid Notes: 1.The pilots are all highly qualified and experienced retired Chilean Navy or Merchant Marine senior officers. Therefore, they should be treated as such and given suitable single cabins that are fully equipped and clean. 2.The pilotage can only be cancelled or changed in the 24 hours after the pilots have been nominated.
3.-
After the pilots have been nominated, the agent has 24 hours in which to cancel or amend the contract. After this time has elapsed, the informed ETA is fixed. A 12 hour leeway is allowed for the initiation of the pilotage, once the pilot has arrived at the embarkation port. After this period id exceeded, a per hour surcharge is applied on all time delayed until the pilotage is commenced. The track of pilotage is previously established by a contract between the pilots' office and the Agent. The complete pilotage is considered to take five days starting from the hour of the pilots embarkation. Should the vessel take more than five days, an extra per hour charge will be levied on all time in excess. If a small vessel, such as a fishing vessel, cannot provide two cabins, or if the pilots Authority cannot provide two pilots, the Authority will nominate just one pilot.

For information only, we have included the experiences of one captain transiting the Magellan Straits in Section 10.
3.0 Port Regulations

3.1 Working Hours
The ports work on a 3 shift basis as follows:
1st Shift 2nd Shift 3rd Shift
0800-1530 1530-2300 2300-0630
3.2 Safety Regulations

During a port call, as stipulated by the Port Authorities, ships must comply with the following safety measures: A) The use of: Rat Guards Safety Nets Gangway Railings
B) If any repairs are required the Agent should be advised as only authorised contractors are permitted to enter the port / terminal. C) IMO Rules are in force and must be adhered to. D) ISPS Code is in force and must be adhered to. Fines are levied against the ship if the above are not complied with.
3.3 Visitors
In order to allow visitors, or other personnel not related to the port operations, on board, they will require written authority from the Master and the Agents.
3.4 Ships Stores, Bunkers etc.

Due to the Central Bank foreign exchange regulations all payments to ship chandlers, laundry and/or other suppliers of whatever nature, must be made via the registered ship agent. This allows the Agent to comply with the required reporting to the Central Bank. Ships' Masters are able to negotiate and place orders with the various suppliers if they wish.
3.5 Watchman
A gangway watchman is compulsory at all times. This must be arranged by the Agent.
3.6 Repairs/Painting
If repairs or hull painting are required permission has to be requested from the Port Captain via the Agent.

4.0 Documents Required by the Port Authorities

4.1 All declarations are to be made on ship's standard forms or blank paper duly signed and stamped by the master. Manifests covering all cargo in transit to other non Chilean ports are to be presented at the first port of call only. On the arrival at the first port of call authorities will require copies of, or to check, the documents listed below: Maritime Health: Copy -Maritime Health Declaration -Crew List and Store List -Voyage Itinerary -Last port clerance -De-Rat Certificate

4.4
At subsequent Chilean ports of call health authorities will board to check the validity of the De-Rat Certificate and Passenger Lists and Passports. The Clearance Certificate from the previous port must be presented at these ports. When a vessel calls at a port only to embark or disembark Magellan Straits pilots, no regular formalities/documentation are necessary; such a call is known as "recalada forzosa" RF. The agent will provide a launch to transport the pilots to the vessel at the pilot station. Under RF status no other person is allowed to embark/disembark and no cargo or provision loaded/unloaded. Failure to comply can lead to RF status being withdrawn and full regular clearance enforced.
4.5
12
5.0 Use of Tugs and Harbour Pilots in Chilean Waters

5.1 The use of tugs must be considered compulsory at all Chilean Ports; only pilots may waive this regulation. As a general rule one tug will be employed for berthing and unberthing ships with a minimum LOA of 140 metres, and two or more tugs will be used for ships over 140 metres. This may be modified and additional tugs employed depending on prevailing weather conditions, the ships particulars and the manouevring area. The Maritime Authority, represented by the pilot on board, will determinate the number of tugs required for each manouevre. Chilean Navigation Law stipulates that all foreign flag ships must use a pilot when entering or leaving harbour. The pilots act as advisers/counsellors to the Master during manoeuvres. In accordance with Chilean Pilotage Rules and Regulations, the technical assistance of the pilot to the Master commences upon boarding the ship when entering or leaving harbour and terminates once the pilot disembarks after completing the corresponding manoeuvre.

Jetty is privately owned by Enap (Empresa Nacional del Petrleo) who uses it for skid operations onto their flat barges. Enap owns 3 barges (76.20 x 22.86 x 4.88 mtrs. depth) of which two are flat barges with skid-rails mounted on deck and 1 crane barge with 400 mts lifting capacity. The Jetty front is 24 mts. long and 120 mts. in total length and the skid rails are 14 mtrs apart from each other and 90 cm high. The problem is that receiving trailers can only be positioned in transverse direction to the vessel. Depth in front of the Jetty is 6.60 and vessels must keep center of the jetty at the midships. Facilities for mooring ropes are sufficient, springs can be placed on jetty and adjacent pillars with bollards, on shore, about 200 mtrs. distance from the vessel, there are bollards for vessels head and stern ropes. Jetty is sheltered from winds blowing from the westerly sector NNW to SSW, and in case of earsterly gales, it could be necessary for the vessel to leave the jetty thus it us recommendable to drop anchor about 150 mtrs. from the jetty when approaching same on arrival, in order to pull her away from same. Maximum permissible Drafts : upto 70 mtrs. LOA 6 mtrs. between 70 and 100 mtrs. LOA 5.6 mtrs. between 100 and 130 mtrs. LOA 4.0 mtrs. : 130 mtrs.
Maximum permissible LOA
Berthing/unberthing during daylight hours only.

10.0 Transiting the Magellan Straits - A Master's Report 2010

General Information
When Sailing through the straits the Master should always be on the bridge even if there is a pilot on board. Watches must be maintained on automatic ships. The following notes are taken from one masters report. For more detailed information you must refer to the Guide to Port Entry.
Approach from The Atlantic

1. When approaching Magellan the ships particulars should be given to Cabo Virgenes Control. When abeam Cabo Virgenes and at a distance of 10NM, and when abeam Punta Dungenes, the ship's particulars should be given to Punta Dungenes Control via VHF CH16. There is the possibility that the Argentine Navy will also request ships particulars on the same frequency. In good weather the Posesion Bay pilot will board after the ship has passed between the two Racon M + T. In adverse conditions the pilot will request that the ship pass close to Punta Delgada. Note: Caution is required due to strong currents in the channel of Primera Angostura. From Punta Arenas to Cabo Gallant ships must sail closer to the coast on the starboard side to give space to ships approaching in the opposite direction. The same rule applies whilst sailing in channel Paso Ingls to Cohorn LT point. Due to strong currents extreme caution is required when changing course to pass Paso Tortuoso. At the turning point there are strong currents from Channel (canal) Jernimo which may drift the ship towards Isla Carlos III. After passing Cabo Crosstide and buoy R. Anson the currents change direction and head from Canal David pushing the ship to the starboard side of Paso Tortuoso to Cabo Quod point. When abeam Cabo Gallant, and when sailing through Paso Ingls, it is wise for the Master to broadcast, to all ships in the area on VHF CH16, the name and DWT of this ship, and ETA passing the Cap Crosstide passage and R. Anson buoy.

From Cabo Quod point until leaving the Strait the ship can sail mid channel between Canales Paso Largo an Paso Del Mar. When abeam Punta Felix the ship's particulars and destination must be given on VHF CH16 to Punta Felix Control and Grupo Evangelista Control. When sailing through the Strait, due to the very deep water, there are no safe anchorages for ships of 150LOA. In an emergency there is a suitable place called Baha Borsta between Punta Jernimo and Cabo Quod. There is also the anchorage point Baha Swallow between Isla Spider and Isla Carteret.
6.
Approach from the Pacific

A) When abeam Grupo Evangelist and Punta Felix the ship's particulars and destination must be given to the respective Controls on VHF CH16. When passing the Canales to Cabo Quod point a mid-channel course is advisable. At Cabo Hunter the ETA at Paso Tortuoso must be given on VHF CH16. Extreme caution is required because of strong currents at Canal David and Canal Jernimo. The pilot boards the ship at Punta Arenas and, in good weather, disembarks at Banco Orange Beacon; in adverse conditions the pilot disembarks at Punta Delgada. Note: there are strong currents at both locations. When abeam Punta Dungenes and Cabo Vrgenes the ship's particulars must be given to the respective Controls on VHF CH16. Ships with large draughts should approach Banco Sarmiento, in the entrance to the Strait, with caution; in adverse weather conditions it is safer to sail to the south of it.
