2.1.5.3 Use of tugs for entry and exit

In accordance with the current Rules for Entry, Exit, Docking and Undocking at the Port of Huelva, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huelva No. 201 on October 23, 2006, the mandatory use of tugs in normal conditions is dependent on the length of the vessel and the nature of the freight, rather than the value of its GT.

Thus, the attendance of tugs will be mandatory when it comes to manoeuvring vessels of more than 90 m in length, carrying hazardous freight classified under classes 1, 2, 3 or 4 of the IMDG Code, those included in Article 15 of Royal Decree 145/89, approving the National Regulations for the Admission, Handling and Storage of Hazardous Freight in Ports, and substances not included in the sections above, which are considered hydrocarbons as defined in Article 1.2 of Royal Decree 253/2004, of February 13, establishing measures to prevent and combat pollution in the loading, unloading and handling of hydrocarbons in the maritime and port environment.
