WARNING FOR ALL SMALL CRAFT NEAR SHIP NAVIGATION AREASThere is a large amount of interaction between small craft and large ships in Queensland waters.Gladstone Ports Corporation are continuallyexpanding the Port of Gladstone with increased shipping activities as a result.Where possible, keep clear of shipnavigation areas (major shipping routes,pilot boarding grounds, anchorages,channels, swing basins and berths). Use a recommended small craft course, if provided, as a safer alternate route.

Large ships at maximum draft have minimalunder keel clearance and can onlymanoeuvre within the designated shippingchannel.When in a swing basin or along side a berth, ships are accompanied by tugs and other vessels. Keep well clear.

Large ships with the bridge at the sternwill have a large blind spot for severalhundred metres in front of the bow. Thisblind spot extends much further forwardif deck cargo or containers are carried.Ships can approach quickly and silently. At night, judgement of distance over wateris more difficult. Ships do not have brakesand can take up to 2 nautical miles orlonger to come to a complete stop.

Report your intention to travel along anychannel prior to commencing. If you mustnavigate in a shipping channel, you mustkeep to the outer edge of that channeland must maintain an all round visual watchincluding monitoring the VHF radio channelfor local traffic movement information.

For Gladstone, the masterof a vessel 10m in lengthor greater must report toGladstone HarbourControl (VTS) on VHF

channel 13 and maintain a listening watchon that frequency when entering, leaving ormoving within the Gladstone Pilotage Area.

Sailing vessels are required to utilise the safe navigable waterway extending from the recommended small craft course for theSouth Channel and the waters to the souththereof; and after making the crossing of the shipping channel at aids to navigation G1 and G2 as indicated, to then proceed ina similar manner on the northern side of therecommended small craft course to travel to The Narrows or the North Channel, oruntil the crossing of the shipping channeltowards the entrance of Auckland Inlet andthe Gladstone Marina as indicated.

At nominated locations, unauthorisedvessels are prohibited from mooring,anchoring or manoeuvring within a restricted operational area. Notice to Mariners bulletins (www.msq.qld.gov.au) will provide up to date information regarding navigation in shipping channels.Always transit directly across a channelbehind a large ship, and only when it is clear and safe to travel.Between sunset and sunrise, as well as periods of restricted daytime visibility, always show correct navigation lightswhen at anchor or under way.KEEP SAFE by conducting all boatingactivity well clear of ship navigation areas.MAINTAIN a proper lookout at all times.KNOW your responsibility.
