Limboh Oil Terminal (4°00'N., 9°08'E.), located at Pointe Limboh, consists of an offshore SBM and a jetty. The SBM is moored in a depth of 21m about 1 mile S of the point. It can handle vessels up to 150,000 dwt, 243m in length, and 18m draft.

The jetty extends 915m seward from the point and has a depth of 10m alongside. It can handle vessels up to 130m in length. A light is shown from the head of this jetty. Pilotage is compulsory. Pilots can be contacted by VHF and board about 1 mile S of the SBM. Vessels should send an ETA 72 hours, 48 hours, and 24 hours in advance. Berthing at the SBM is carried out only during daylight but vessels can depart anytime. There are no restrictions at the jetty berth.

A restricted area, which may best be seen on the chart, surround the terminal and extends up to 2 miles S from Limboh Point. Only vessels proceeding to the terminal may navigate within this area.

Caution.—A submerged rock is reported to lie close to the jetty and is marked by a lighted buoy.
