| Maximum dead-weight 6,000 tonnes. | |
| Maximum draught 5.5m (18ft) | |
| Maximum length of vessel accommodated 122m (400ft) |

All depths are at low tideThe South Cargo Pier is 440 feet long with the water depth at 12 feet at the inner end and 26 feet at the outer end. At 100 feet from the inner most end of the South Cargo Pier, the water is 21 feet deep, which in effect gives you 340 feet of pier with a water depth of between 20 and 26 feet. |
|
| The North Cargo Pier is 200 feet in length, with the water depth at the innermost end at 19 feet and at the outer end at 26 feet. | |
| The West West Wall is 525 feet long from RO/RO at 19 feet to Royal Watler fence line at 11 feet. | |
| The Harbour is in a designated Marine Park area and therefore discharge of grey or black water (sewage) is not permitted into our waters. Unless the vessel is berthed alongside one of our piers, there are no receiving vessels or tanker available to accept the discharge of grey water, or black water and so you will be required to go at least 4 miles offshore for the discharge of grey water. Any discharge of black water must be in compliance with Annex 4, Regulation 8 of Marpol Convention on Marine Pollution; 4 miles from land for treated sewage, 12 miles for un-treated sewage. |

| Ballast water regulations not implemented yet, but coming soon. |

Public moorings are located around each of the islands to reduce anchor damage to coral. These 18 and 30 inch white buoys may be identified by their blue stripe and yellow pick-up line and may be used free of charge. The smaller buoys are designed to hold vessels up to 60 feet long and the larger buoys are for vessels up to 100 feet. Public moorings should not be used when wind speeds reach or exceed 20 knots. Please limit your use of the mooring to 3 hours or less. It is the responsibility of the boat operator to ensure that the mooring is in safe condition – do not leave the boat unattended while on the mooring.

| 24 hours prior to arrival in the Cayman Islands, all vessels over 500 GRT are required to file a Pre-Arrival Notice; this form contains sections for the vessel’s details and the passenger and crew data. This one form has the information required by the Port for ISPS purposes and also for Immigration for Pre-Clearance purposes. Pre-Clearance allows a cruise ship to commence disembarkation of their guests and crew immediately on arrival, eliminating the need to wait for formal clearance. However, the purser is required to be on the first tender to present the usual paperwork to Customs and Border Control (but again note that it does not impede the disembarkation of passengers). In the event pre-clearance is not granted to your ship, passengers must remain on the ship while the purser proceeds via tender to the terminal assigned to present the documents for clearance to Customs and Border Control. Once clearance has been granted, disembarkation of passengers may commence. | |
| When your purser completes the form, please email it to the Port Facility Security Officer at pfso@caymanport.com and CBC at icm@gov.ky and your agent Bodship@candw.ky The form should be submitted 24 hrs in advance, but it is most likely that you will be in another port at that time and may have crew and passenger movement whilst there, so we ask that you submit an updated form immediately as you depart from the port immediately preceding the call to the Cayman Islands if there are any changes to the previously submitted data. CBC is usually at the Port until 1900 hrs local time each day to process the data and issue pre-clearance. If for some reason, you are unable to meet that deadline, please let us know by email or cell phone (345) 925 6183 (PFSO cell) and (345) 926 0341 (CBC cell). | |
| With the introduction of Pre-Clearance, Customs and Border Control no longer board your cruise vessels for clearance purposes, unless there is some reason requiring them to. | |
| All formal clearance is done ashore at the cruise terminal assigned to the vessel that day, except that ships assigned to the South Terminal will clear at the North Terminal. The purser is required to be on the first tender ashore to present the usual paperwork to Customs and Border Control (but note that it does not impede the disembarkation of passengers who will be returning to the ship at the end of the day to continue their cruise). Any changes will be communicated directly to the ships . | |
| Any Passengers or Crew disembarking the vessel and not returning to the vessel prior to its departure from the Cayman Islands to continue their journey must be escorted by a Purser to the Customs and Border Control Office at the cruise terminal with the relevant documents e.g. Passports, Airline Tickets, LOE or Letter explaining reason of travel/disembarkation etc. |
