LA GOULETTE AND TUNIS

Sidi Daoud 7.52

1 Description. Sidi Daoud harbour lies on the N side of Baie d’ Oumcetren (37°01′N 10°54′E). Approach. Sidi Daoud is surrounded by shoal water and with onshore winds the sea builds up. Local knowledge is absolutely essential. 2 Harbour. The harbour is protected on the E and S by Jetée Sud extending S from the shore for about 1½ cables, thence WNW and N for about 2 cables. Jetée Nord extends S from the shore on the W side of the harbour, for about ¾ cable, to a position about 60 m W of the head of Jetée Sud to form the entrance facing S. The bottom is covered with thick weed and shoals quickly towards Jetée Sud. 3 Dredged depths in the channel are reported to be 5 m and depths within the harbour are generally reported to be between 2 and 3 m, although there are shallower patches and a dangerous wreck is said to lie close within the entrance. 4 Directions. The harbour must be approached from the NW and in the tunny season care should be taken to avoid tunny nets which extend WNW from the coast in the vicinity; the extremity of these nets is marked by the light-buoy (N cardinal) (7.48). 5 A dredged channel, marked by light-beacons (port and starboard hand) is reported to exist, although the existence of these cannot be relied upon. Useful marks: Light, standing on the head of Jetée Sud. Light, standing on the head of Jetée Nord.

1 La Goulette (36°48′N 10°18′E) lies on a spit of sand on the W side of Baie de Tunis, at the entrance to Lac de Tunis a large shallow lagoon, on the W side of which lies the city of Tunis (36°48′N 10°12′E), the capital of Tunisia and the seat of Government. A dredged channel connects La Goulette to Tunis, 5 miles W.

1 La Goulette, together with the new harbour at Radès, close W, is a modern well equipped port handling most types of vessel, including general cargo, bulk ore, cereals, phosphates, tankers, container and Ro-Ro. 2 Tunis is a medium sized commercial harbour handling various types of vessel. Principal exports include phosphates, iron ore, dates, olive oil and cereals. Imports include general cargo foodstuffs, iron and steel. The population of La Goulette is about 40 000. In 2001 the population of Tunis was estimated to be 690 900.

1 The port is approached from Baie de Tunis through a dredged channel and entered between Dique Sud and Jetée Nord, as shown on the chart. Tunis is approached and entered through Canal de Tunis (7.113), a dredged channel through Lac de Tunis (7.89), leading from the W part of La Goulette. The N side of the canal is bordered by a causeway, carrying a road, which links Tunis to La Goulette.
