West Sacramento, CA 95691 | | | Deep drafts for specific transits may be decreased depending on navigation factors such as date, time, tidal conditions, soundings, weather conditions, vessel size and type, etc.
During the period from December to April, rapid shoaling may occur on the river. The pilots may be notified by the Army Corps of Engineers or receive other information of depth changes/shoaling requiring maximum drafts to change on very short notice.
All transit drafts refer to fresh water drafts.
All vessels are recommended to have a minimum of 1 foot (30 cm) of trim by the stern, not exceeding maximum fresh water deep draft. If the minimum of 1 foot (30 cm) of trim is not met, the vessel shall be limited to daylight only transit (DLO). Vessels with any trim by the bow (down by the head) shall not transit to and from the Ports of Sacramento and Stockton.
In general, the narrow channel limits the size of vessels above New York Point to the PANAMAX class (750 feet LOA x 106 feet beam).
The air draft limit for an unrestricted transit during an average tidal cycle is 132 feet.
Vessels with an air draft of greater than 132 feet should contact the Operations Pilot for allowable transit time.
All transits to/from Sacramento must consult with the Operations Pilot due to overhead clearance issues near SAC DWSC LT 12. This is in effect until further notice when this office has received proper verification of available clearance
The following vessels will be allowed daylight transits only:
i. 650 feet and above LOA;
ii. 100 feet and above beam;
iii. vessels with severely limited visibility due to design or other factors;
iv. vessels with a deep draft exceeding 31.0’ (9.45 m.)
During the period from December to April, rapid shoaling may occur on the river. The pilot maybe notified by the Army Corps of Engineers or receive other information of depth changes requiring drafts to be changed with very short notice. | | | |

Stockton, CA 95203 | 209-946-0246 | | Deep drafts for specific transits may be decreased depending on navigation factors such as date, time, tidal conditions, soundings, weather conditions, vessel size and type, etc.
During the period from December to April, rapid shoaling may occur on the river. The pilots may be notified by the Army Corps of Engineers or receive other information of depth changes/shoaling requiring maximum drafts to change on very short notice.
All transit drafts refer to fresh water drafts.
All vessels are recommended to have a minimum of 1 foot (30 cm) of trim by the stern, not exceeding maximum fresh water deep draft. If the minimum of 1 foot (30 cm) of trim is not met, the vessel shall be limited to daylight only transit (DLO). Vessels with any trim by the bow (down by the head) shall not transit to and from the Ports of Sacramento and Stockton.
In general, the narrow channel limits the size of vessels above New York Point to the PANAMAX class (750 feet LOA x 106 feet beam).
The air draft limit for an unrestricted transit during an average tidal cycle is 132 feet.
Vessels with an air draft of greater than 132 feet should contact the Operations Pilot for allowable transit time.
All transits to/from Sacramento must consult with the Operations Pilot due to overhead clearance issues near SAC DWSC LT 12. This is in effect until further notice when this office has received proper verification of available clearance
The following vessels will be allowed daylight transits only:
i. 650 feet and above LOA;
ii. 100 feet and above beam;
iii. vessels with severely limited visibility due to design or other factors;
iv. vessels with a deep draft exceeding 31.0’ (9.45 m.)
During the period from December to April, rapid shoaling may occur on the river. The pilot maybe notified by the Army Corps of Engineers or receive other information of depth changes requiring drafts to be changed with very short notice.

a. Tug requirements for vessels arriving and departing Richmond Inner Harbor:
Vessels up to 600’ LOA: AB
Vessels over 600’ LOA: AA
Vessels over 700’ LOA: At A
Vessels over 800’LOA: A+ A+
b. Weather permitting, vessels undocking without turning may eliminate the smaller tug if they have an adequate bow thruster, as set forth in these guidelines.
c. It is recommended that vessels greater than 650’ LOA be turned at Pt. Potrero Turning Basin.
d. Vessels with a draft greater than 33 ft. or LOA greater than 700’ transiting Richmond Inner Harbor shall plan their arrival to pass RLW/Ferry Point with a maximum 1 kt. flood current or 0.5 kt. ebb current & their departure with a maximum 0.5 kt. ebb current; based on the RICHMOND (14d) current station. Deep draft vessels that cannot meet this requirement may require a tractor tug to assist. Consult with the Operations Pilot.
e. Vessels greater than 800’ LOA and requiring a turn will be required to transit Richmond Inner Harbor during daylight hours. Vessels greater than 800’ LOA not requiring a turn, with a draft less than 30 feet, may depart during non-daylight hours. All conditions of paragraph (d) above remain in effect.
f. Present channel configuration limits the size of a vessel able to use RCH20 to a maximum 650 feet in length and 106 feet in beam. Vessels arriving and departing RCH20 will require at least (1)At. Please consult with the Operations Pilot.
g. Barges in the vicinity of RCH20 must be moved well clear before ships can dock or undock.
h. Movements to or from RCH20 are precluded when vessels are berthed at RCH21 or RCH14.
i. Agents representing vessels calling at RCH21, RCH17 or RCH14 are responsible for determining if vessels are occupying RCH22, RCH21, RCH20, or RCH14 and obstructing the channel. If so the Operations Pilot must be consulted. As a general rule, the combined beams of the vessels shall not exceed 200’, the passing shall be set up near high water(4.0’ or more) and (2) tractor tugs will be required.
j. In some situations it may not be possible to arrange a safe transit until the channel is clear. | | 37.913141 | -122.360593 |
