PORT KEMBLA – EARLY HISTORY
The earliest written record of the area known today as Port Kembla was in April 1770, on Captain James Cook’s east coast voyage.
HMB Endeavour’s logbook reads ‘There lies a point which I called Red Point, and a little way inland stands a round hill, the top of which looks like the crown of a hat’. The hill Captain Cook notes is now known as Mount Kembla. Red Point, however, has retained its original name.
Later came explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders in their boat “Tom Thumb”. The lagoon to the North of Red Point was named Tom Thumb Lagoon, after the explorers’ vessel, and is now the site of Port Kembla’s Inner Harbour.
In 1883 the Mount Kembla Coal and Oil Company built a railway from Mount Kembla mine to the coast and with no natural harbour available constructed a jetty just north of Red Point and named it Port Kembla.
By the 1890’s plans for a deepwater port evolved, which ultimately required the construction of the two large breakwaters which form the Outer Harbour as we know it today. The Port Kembla Harbour Act was passed on 23rd December 1898, thereby formally proclaiming the area as a port and setting aside an initial £200,000 for breakwater construction.
With the advent of the Hoskins Steelworks in the late 1920’s the growth of Port Kembla continued and a number of jetties were constructed in the Harbour to facilitate the growing trade through the port.
PORT KEMBLA TODAY
Historically the port of Port Kembla has serviced the needs of regional industries, predominantly coal (export) and steel (import of raw materials and export of steel products).
Having recently undergone a major expansion in the period 2007-2012, the port has seen a major diversification of its trade base to include general and break bulk cargoes, containers and motor vehicle imports.
This development, which included the construction of 3 new berths and the development of 53 hectares of land, has allowed the port to become the largest vehicle importing hub in Australia. It is also the principal grain export port for producers in Southern and South-Western NSW.
The port is recognised as one of the Illawarra’s key assets, supporting the employment of many local people. It directly and indirectly sustains over 3860 jobs and contributes $839 million to the regional economy each year.

VESSEL REQUIREMENTS
PORT KEMBLA – CHART AUS 195 & 194
Positions in this notice are referenced to WGS84 datum.
The port limits to Port Kembla Harbour are as follows:
a) The port limit for Port Kembla is to an arc of circle radius 2.5M centered on the north eastern breakwater light (34 27’.91 S 150 54’.81 E).
There is a “no anchorage area” boundary as shown on AUS 195 extending to the inward reporting limit (34 20’.50 S 151 00’.47 E)
b) Any movements of vessels greater than 30m in length must have permission to undertake their planned movement within the port limits from the Harbour Master and will be required to embark a Marine Pilot.
The holding ground off the Illawarra coast is considered poor and the Port Authority of New South Wales - Port Kembla does not recommend anchoring in proximity to the Port or Illawarra coast.
If, however, Masters choose to anchor outside the designated port limits, they must:
Not anchor within 3nm of the coast or islands, or within 1 nm of another ship; Not anchor on, or West of the entrance leads; Inform Port Kembla VTIC on VHF Channel 11 of their anchorage position relative to Wollongong lighthouse; Ensure adequate watch is kept on the bridge, ensure engines are available for manoeuver, set continuous listening watch on VHF Channel 11 and take heed of weather forecasts; Monitor ship’s position and if any doubt exists or if foul weather/ high swell is expected (especially from the East), Masters should immediately proceed to sea without waiting for instructions from the VTIC or the Port Kembla Harbour Master. Refer to Admiralty Sailing directions for areas of known foul ground.
3. Vessels at Anchor Masters are advised that Port Kembla VTIC is an Information Centre only.
Weather broadcasts are made at regular intervals on VHF Ch11, but the decision to remain at (or leave) the anchorage during unfavourable weather is solely up to the Master.
Masters of vessels should not wait for instructions from Port Kembla VTIC before deciding to proceed to sea.

Port of Port Kembla Port Instructions: Version dated 4 September 2015 Page 9 of 21
Commercial vessels that do not require a Pilot are only to be operated in Port Kembla Harbour if the Master is a holder of a Pilotage Exemption Certificate (PEC)
or a Certificate of Local Knowledge (COLK) in accordance with applicable NSW Legislation (the NSW Marine Safety Act 1998).
Recreational vessels are not permitted to be operated in the Port Kembla Inner Harbour without the express permission of the Harbour Master.
Certificate of Capacity (port induction)
A Certificate of Capacity is a local procedure authorised by the Harbour Master to ensure appropriate on water inductions have been completed & port procedures and risks communicated.
If permission is granted to the Master of a recreational vessel to enter or operate in the Inner Harbour, the Harbour Master will issue a Certificate of Capacity to the Master of the vessel.
A Certificate of Capacity may also be issued to the Master of a Commercial Vessel (that does not require a Pilot) if the nature of the business within the Harbour is of such a nature that a PEC or COLK is not warranted, at the discretion of the Harbour
Master.
8. Pilot Ladders
A pilot ladder MUST be rigged in accordance with the recognised international practice before a pilot will be embarked, or disembarked from or to Port Kembla.
Pilot ladders should be rigged 1.5m above the water and comply with SOLAS
Regulations and IMO Standards. On departure ladders should be rigged on the port side 1.5m above the water. Exceptions to these requirements may be advised by VTIC or the embarking Pilot on VHF radio.
If the Pilot climb is more than nine metres a combination ladder must be used. If using combination ladder the gangway and the rope ladder must be secured to the ship's side in line with IMO guidelines. If your vessel has no fitting to effect such lashings, hull magnets or similar devices must be used.
As a workplace health and safety issue, the Port Authority of NSW reserves the right to delay vessel embarkation of a Marine Pilot until these procedures are fulfilled. Further, all instances of non-compliance will be reported to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority as a Port State Control matter.
The latest Local Notice to Mariners (on the Port Authorities website) provides more detail and should be read in conjunction with this notice.
