Berthing and Vessel Handling

LADOL is registered as an ISPS-certified port facility with IMO, and receives local and international vessels. Featuring a 200m quay, 8.5m draft, 25-ton/m2 high load bearing area and additional 30-ton bollards at either end, LADOL’s quay can accommodate up to six supply vessels and three Heavy Lift Vessels simultaneously.

The berthing crew works 24 hours a day and, since products are piped directly through ducts in the quay, vessel turnaround time can be less than 8 hours.

Due to market demand the quay is being extended by an additional 450m in 2012/13.
