Approaches The Port of Burnie is situated on the western shore of Emu Bay and has easy access. The Bay is two miles wide and one mile deep facing in a northerly direction. The bottom is sand and clay interspersed with patches of reef and rock particularly in the south eastern sector of the Bay. The principal danger off the Port is Blackman Reef, with shallow water extending one mile seaward from the western shore of the Bay. Vessels approaching the Port from the west should, by day, keep two orange beacons on the shoulder of Round Hill open to the north and then turn onto the main harbour leads which are in transit 224 degrees true. By night, keep in the white sector of Round Hill Point Light until the two lit blue triangles of the main leads come into transit. Vessels approaching from the east should keep well off until clear of Round Hill Point and then turn onto the main leads by day or the lit blue triangles by night. Vessels may anchor on the main leads in the vicinity of the pilot boarding ground. The Port is protected by two breakwaters. The inner, founded at the inner end of Blackman Reef, lies in a 110 degrees direction and is 381 metres long. The other is an island structure and lies in a 130 degrees direction and is 488 metres long. The western end of this breakwater bears 045 degrees true, 213 metres from the eastern end of the inner breakwater. The Port has deep water with 10.0 metres in the approaches to the berths. The Diameter of the swinging basin is 460 metres. The Port is fog free and there is no restriction on night movements. Pilotage is compulsory for vessels over 35 metres in length and vessels requiring the services of a pilot should proceed to a position with the green light on the Eastern end of the Island Breakwater bearing 045 degrees true and distance 2 nautical miles.
