Navigation Direction
Part I First (North) Entrance Approaches
- (a). From the Kaohsiung lighthouse, a two-way traffic lane leads 2.5 miles WNW. The north boundary of the lane extends outward at an angle of 300-degrees from the head of the north breakwater. The south boundaryextends outward at an angle of 270-degrees from the head of the southbreakwater.
- (b). The traffic separation scheme connects with the two-way traffic lane. The north boundary of the scheme extends outward at an angle of 300-degrees from the north boundary of the two-way traffic lane for a length of one mile measured from the end of the two-way traffic lane. The south boundary of the scheme extends outward at an angle of 270-degrees from the south boundary of the two-way traffic lane for a length of one mile measured from the end of the two-way traffic lane. A separation line running at a 285-degree angle for a length of one mile divides the water area between the boundaries into two traffic lanes for inbound and outbound vessels, respectively.
- (c). The north pilot station is located at the meeting-point of the inbound traffic lane and the two-way traffic lane at a distance from the Kaohsiung lighthouse of 2.5 miles.
Part II Second (South) Entrance Approaches
- (a). The separation zone measures a half (0.5) mile wide.
- (b). The southbound traffic lane measures eight cables wide and 1.2 miles long at an angle of 163 degrees.
- (c). The northbound traffic lane measures eight cables wide and 1.2 miles long at an angle of 343 degrees.
Part III West Channel
- (a). The separation zone measures a half (0.5) mile wide.
- (b). The southbound traffic lane measures eight cables wide and 1.2 miles long at an angle of 163 degrees.
- (c). The northbound traffic lane measures eight cables wide and 1.2 miles long at an angle of 343 degrees.
