The passage between Goos and Munde reefs is marked by IALA region “A” buoyed channel. Buoy number TCA, TCB, TCC and TCD mark turning circle. Leading lights are provided to assist navigation from turning circle to Tanker berths. Caution must be exercised when transiting approach channel to prevent accidental release of anchor as the submarine pipelines pass through the approach channel between buoys 5-6 and riser platform. 2 Racons. SPM 1- 22° 34’.3N. 69° 47’.2E. Displaying R SPM 3- 22° 36’.6N. 69° 49’.9E. Displaying O 3 Directions. The track leads NE from the vicinity of 22º 33'N, 69º 45'E towards the SPM’s and SE to the harbour entrance. 4 Entry and berthing. The terminal is approached directly from the east end of deep water route. The approach from fairway buoy 22º 35'.5N, 69º45'.8E is through a buoyed channel between Goos and Munde reefs. 5 Tides (height). Maximum 6.5m 6 Tidal stream information.
