Overview
Al Rayyan Marine Terminal is situated in the Southern part of the Arabian Gulf approximately 35 nautical miles off the Northern coast of Qatar. The approximate geographical location of the Terminal is latitude 26˚ 41’ North and longitude 51˚ 35’ East. The approximate water depth at the Terminal is 29 meters at British Admiralty chart datum (Lowest Astronomical Tide).

Channel Approach/Departure
Safe approach to the Terminal is from the North, then proceeding to the pilot boarding position 3 nautical miles to East of the Terminal.The Terminal is situated near busy shipping lanes and Masters of visiting vessels are cautioned accordingly.

The appropriate British Admiralty chart for the area shall be consulted. The old SBM in position latitude 26° 39’ North and longitude 51° 34’ East, has been removed. The old SBM pipeline and PLEM have been left in position and the area is to be avoided at all times. There is a back down buoy for the Tug to tie up to in position, latitude 26° 39.7’ North and Longitude 51° 33.8’ East. There is a STP ( Sensor Tower Platform) jacket located to the east of Platform in position Latitude 26° 39’04.28 North and Longitude 51° 34’ 55.07East. This has a light and radar. The area 500 meters around this jacket is to be avoided.

Draught and Trim
Maximum vessel draft at the Terminal is restricted to 21 meters. Arriving Vessels shall have their propeller(s) fully submerged and have a reasonable stern trim not exceeding 3 meters. A vessel with an insufficient draft or excessive trim will not be berthed until the draft condition has been corrected to the satisfaction of the Pilot.
It should be noted that the distances and coordinates given are approximate and should not be used for navigational purposes. Reference should therefore be made to the appropriate Hydrographic Office publications, Admiralty publications and official charts for the purposes of obtaining navigational information.

Overview
Halul Island (position 25 40.3’N 052 24.6’E) is 52 miles Northeast of Doha. The Terminal serves as the Export Terminal for Qatar Marine Crude oil, which is produced from the offshore oilfields area. There is a harbour on the southern side of the island, which is only for the use of small craft and offshore support vessels. Halul is part of the State of Qatar and is managed and operated by Qatar Petroleum. (Ref: Emiri Decree No.35 of 1994)

Channel Approach/Departure
To the East of Halul there are two buoys marking a deep-water channel, which is the recommended channel for all tankers approaching or departing from the SBMs.

H-1 – Green conical – Quick flash green
H-2 – Red can – Quick flash red

The offshore oilfields are prohibited for routine navigation because of the numerous production stations, drilling rigs, wellhead jackets and oil/gas pipelines. A 500 meter restricted access zone around the oil/gas platforms, installations, SBM’s is enforced.
