Anchorage Area

Gibraltar’s Eastern Anchorage is reserved for vessels
awaiting orders or in lay-up.

The Bay has an anchorage for vessels requiring maritime services. This anchorage can be exposed to south-westerly winds, so vessels should be prepared to move to alternative points on the north-west side of the Bay.

For off-limits operations, three rendezvous points
have been set aside:

• Area 1 (or Zone A): 1 nautical mile north of a line
drawn east of Europa Point.

• Area 2 (or Zone B): within a radius of 2.5 nautical
miles of position 36°02’N, 5°15’W (about 7 miles
SE of Europa Point).

• Area 3 (or Zone C): Gibraltar’s Eastern Anchorage


Pilot boarding

The pilot normally boards inbound vessels at a point 1 mile south-west of Europa Point.

In bad weather, vessels may be required to proceed west of Europa Point to safely embark the pilot. Communication between the pilot boat and the vessel will be made on VHF Channel 12.

A pilot ladder should be rigged on the lee side or as instructed by the pilot not more than 1 metre above sea level.

Pilots will also board vessels making provisioning or crew transfer calls while slow steaming in the sheltered waters of the Bay.
