Approach and clearance
Heading and depth
The arrival sheet gives the position as 5 deg 58.05 min N, 116 deg 03.40 min E. The sheet says to come in on a heading of 090 degrees true, keeping Tanjung Wakong half a mile to port, then turn towards the resort on 128 degrees true at Tanjung Wakong. It bases this on Admiralty Chart 3626. Average depth at lowest astronomical tide is 5 m inside the basin and 7 m outside the breakwater. The sheet says the most recent chart does not show the resort and that the channel was dredged and widened. Not for navigation. Use current charts and call the marina.
Arrival steps
The marina arrival sheet (December 2022) says all visiting vessels must do immigration and port clearance on arrival. It lists a ship registration certificate, valid insurance, a crew list, a passenger list if any, and the last port clearance certificate. This is the marina's sheet, not a government page. Its clearance offices are the Marine Department Sabah office at Teluk Salut, Sepanggar, and the Likas port office of Jabatan Pelabuhan dan Dermaga Sabah. Confirm the current rules with those offices.
Kota Kinabalu Port
Sabah Ports Sdn Bhd runs the commercial cargo port. It is not the clearance office named on the marina sheet. Sabah Ports lists Kota Kinabalu Port for general cargo, cruise vessels and roll-on roll-off services. Its ports work three shifts a day all year: 0800 to 1600, 1600 to 2400 and 0000 to 0800. Port office phone +6 088-652 852.
