Brass Oil Terminal (4°04'N., 6°17'E.), located about 14 miles SSE of the mouth of the Brass River, consists of a lighted central platform, which is equipped with a racon, and two SPMs. Submarine pipelines, which may best be seen on the chart, extend NNW to the shore and SE to the Agbara Oil Field from the terminal. No. 1 SBM and No. 2 SBM are situated 1 mile E and 1 mile W, respectively, of the central platform, in a depth of 27.4m. Vessels of up to 300,000 dwt and 22.8m draft can be handled, with a minimum length of 220m and a maximum length of 366m. Pilotage is compulsory. Pilots can be contacted by VHF and board in the vicinity of the anchorage. Berthing takes place only during daylight hours. Vessels may depart at any time. A designated anchorage area, with depths of 27 to 29m and fairly good holding ground, lies about 2.8 miles NE of the terminal platform.
