Puerto Ventanas terminal: This jetty is 725m long and lies due east to west from the shore. It has 3 conveyor belt systems and there are 4 berths. Pier 1: It is used for discharging chemical products and for loading bunkers. The maximum displacement for tankers is 12.000 tons, drawing not more than 26,8 . A tug assists in mooring, port side to; the starboard anchor must be down with 10 shackles out; 4 head and 4 stern lines; 2 spring forward and 2 aft; 2 ropes from bow and aft for warping and 2 lines to the mooring buoy on the starboard quarter. These ropes are necessary because the prevailing southerly wind, which can blow strongly, holds the vessel off the quay. Pier 2: It is used for loading copper concentrates and pipes for bunkers and sulphur acid. The belt here is used for loading copper concentrates. The loading tower is fixed, and the ship must shift to accommodate successive hatches for loading. The loading rate is 750 tons per hour. The berth at the head of the pier is extended by 4 mooring dolphins and can take a ship of up to 200m loa (maximum); the sailing draught must not exceed 9.30m. Air draft is 12m. The ship, aided by 2 tugs, berth port/starboard side with 10 shackles out; 4 heads and 4 stern lines, 2 spring forward and 2 aft, a warping rope from the poop and a line to a buoy on the port quarter. At this berth, the wind keeps the ship against the quay, but the fenders are good concertina-type made of solid rubber. Trimming or sweeping out holds is done with bulldozers which are hoisted on board by a mobile crane on the pier. Pier 3: It is used for loading and discharging general cargo, bulk and bunkering asphalt. Only vessels of a maximum displacement of 45.000 tons drawing not more than 11.5m are allowed. The final mooring to this site must consist of 4 long warps and 2 spring on the bow, 4 long warps and 2 springs on the stern. The starboard anchor should be 6 ? to 7 shackles of chain in the water. Mooring/unmooring is carried out with 2 tugs. Pier 5: It is used for the discharge of coal, grain, clinker, and bauxite in bulk. There are connections to unload bunkering and asphalt. Only vessels of a maximum displacement of 70.000 tons are allowed-Panamax size; drawing 14m. There are 2 cranes with capacity for 30 tons. The discharge capacity is 1.500 ton/hour bulk and range 40m. Two belts are used to discharge coal and grain (same belt) and clinker (new belt). The final mooring to this pier must consist of 4 long warps and 2 springs on the bow, 4 long warps and 2 springs on the stern. The starboard anchor should be 7 ? to 8 shackles of chain in the water. Mooring/unmooring is done with 2 tugs. There is a constant southwesterly swell at this terminal. In all berths a rigger gang is placed on board to assist the crew in shifting. On the wharf linesmen are permanently on duty to attend to the lines ashore. Berthing is by day and night in piers 5 and 3. Piers 1 and 2 can only be used in the daylight. Sailing may be at nighttime too. There is a hydrant for water on the Chilectra pier that delivers at about 30 tons per hour. There are sulfuric acid shipping facilities, which are 540m long operating on carbon steel with a diametre of 16 - they allow for the shipment of 800 tons per hour on piers 1 and 2. North berth: Chilectra operates this berth which has a tower that travels on rails along the pier to 88m. It is fitted with a grab on an overhead rail that extends 13.5m from the quayside. It discharges coal to a hopper on the endless belt and so to the stockpiles ashore. Bulk grain is also discharged in the same way. The discharge rate of both coal and grain is 300 tons per hour. The maximum length permitted for a ship is 160m; a tug assists in mooring, port side to; the starboard anchor must be down with 10 shackles out; 4 head and 4 stern lines; 2 springs forward and 2 aft; 2 ropes from bow and poop for warping and 2 lines to the mooring buoy on the starboard quarter. These ropes are necessary not only for shifting the ship to present hatches for discharge but, principally, because the prevailing southerly wind, which can blow strongly, holds the vessel off the quay. In the winter months (April to September) even more lines must be put out, according to Port safety regulations. The maximum draught at this berth is 28 for sailing. South berth: Andina operates this berth. The belt here is used for loading copper concentrates. The loading tower is fixed, and the ship must shift to accommodate successive hatches for loading. The loading rate is 1.000 tons per hour. The berth at the head of the pier has been extended by 4 mooring dolphins and can take a ship of up to 200m loa (maximum); the sailing draught must not exceed 30 . The ship, aided by a tug, berths starboard side to, both anchors down with 10 shackles out; 4 head and 4 stern lines, 2 springs forward and 2 aft, a warping rope from the poop and a line to a buoy on the port quarter. At this berth, the wind keeps the ship against the quay, but the fenders are good concertina-type of solid rubber. There is a constant southwesterly swell at these berths. At both berths a rigger gang is placed on board to assist the crew in shifting. On the wharf linesmen are permanently on duty to attend to the lines ashore. Berthing is in daylight only, and the best hours are early morning or late afternoon, when the wind drops. Sailing may be at nighttime too. Trimming or sweeping out holds at these berths is done with bulldozers, hoisted on board by a mobile crane on the pier. There is a hydrant for water on the Chilectra pier that delivers at about 30 tons per hour. Bad weather precautions: The Port Captain will take all measures to get ships away from the wharfs and terminals and out to sea, in the event of sudden bad weather. If the official pilot cannot come in time from Valparaiso, the master is authorized to take his vessel out, but must make every endeavour to get a pilot on board. The master and agents must keep in close communication regarding the movements of the ship. Ships at the anchorages must also put out to sea, if necessary, having previously advised the Port Captain. (Refer to Valparaiso Precautionary measures for bad weather for further information, as the security arrangements there are similar). The tug must be ordered by agents and should be requested in good time. Bunkers are supplied by barges anchor at roads and Puerto Ventanas jetties. Repairs: Floating repairs can be handled. Supplies are obtainable from Quintero. Medical attention/hospital: Doctors are available, but the general hospital is at Vina del Mar/Valparaiso. Consuls: Refer to Valparaiso .
