PORT FITZROY – Standard Port 45°37’.66N 005°53’.03W
Southern Peninsula CHARTS RYA 3, 4. Standard Port PORT FITZROY ( )
DESCRIPTION. Port Fitzroy is a busy harbour that handles both general cargo and ferry traffic. The port does not openly encourage pleasure craft. The harbour does, however, provide reasonable shelter at Old Town anchorage and limited AB on the Town Quay. The southern section of the quay is reserved exclusively for local FV but the northern section of the quay is available to visiting craft. Good holding at anchorage in Old Town Bay but expect wash from passing FV.
APPROACH WAYPOINT. 45°40’.19N 005°50’.17W.
PILOTAGE NOTES. Small Craft intending to enter Fitzroy Bay through Fiddler’s Race are strongly advised to plan the passage thoroughly. The tidal stream attains spring rates of up to 6kn; during wind over tide conditions severe overfalls in the race make this passage untenable. Therefore good timing is of the essence. See page 69 for passage information through the race. All vessels must contact Port Fitzroy VTS on Ch 74 and request permission to enter the harbour. Vessels < 20m must enter the main channel between No 7 and No 9 SHM or if approaching from the E between No 8 and No 10 PHM. Vessels intending to leave Old Town must receive permission before slipping and once clear of
the heads must exit the main chan between PHM No 10 and No 8. Seal I. is unlit but covered by the F.R. light of Grumlin Head Lt Ho. Shipping channel is well marked with buoyage and ldg lts. Port Authorities request that Small Craft do not use the SWM as a waypoint.
TIDAL STREAMS AND HEIGHTS. For tidal-stream information appertaining to Fiddler’s Race refer to tidal stream atlas and passage notes. The tidal stream in Fitzroy Bay generally follows the sweep of the bay, becoming weak inside the 10m contour line.
LIGHTS AND MARKS. IPTS are displayed from the VTS SS. The F.R. light of Grumlin Head Lt Ho
[Fl.3s30m12M&F.R.27m10M] covers Seal Island and surrounding rocks. Generally a well-buoyed and well-lit channel up to the SCM at the ro-ro terminal. Beyond this point the channel is unlit.
VHF RADIO. VHF Ch 74, 13, 16. Vessels < 20m must contact Port Fitzroy VTS on Ch 74 and request permission before entering the main buoyed channel.
