Dili : Profile

Clearance

Entry permits are issued on arrival. The police (Immigration) and Customs can be contected through the Port Authority. A copy of the boat's papers and a crew list is all that is required.

Docking

Dili is on the North coast of Timor Leste (formally East Timor). Lat. 08° 33S Long. 125° 34E. Its harbour is very protected from southeasterlies but slightly exposed to the northwesterlies during the monsoon season (November - late March).

Beware of a poorly marked drying patch and an unmarked wreck in the harbour. The holding is good in the soft mud once the anchor is dug in. The inadequate ground tackle and long floating lines of some local boats can also cause a hazard in bad weather.
