Port Overview
Ras Selata, identified by UN/LOCODE LBRSE, is a private industrial seaport in northern Lebanon serving the nearby Selaata chemical plant. The supplied port particulars describe the complex as under construction rather than as a conventional container hub. The port is positioned at 34.266667° N, 35.650000° E, north of Beirut, and is primarily relevant to project, industrial and bulk-oriented cargo requiring direct access to the plant area. The approach crosses sand bars with a stated least depth of 15.0 m. The main commercial quay is reported at 14 m alongside and can accommodate vessels up to approximately 70,000 DWT, 230 m length and 13 m draft, subject to current confirmation by the terminal and local pilot. Our service team treats Ras Selata as a port-call-specific facility: vessel acceptance, cargo handling scope, documentation and inland arrangements must be reconfirmed before booking.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
- Commercial quay: One main commercial quay is identified in the supplied particulars, with a reported depth of 14 m alongside.
- Vessel access: The approach is described as crossing sand bars with a least depth of 15.0 m. Under-keel clearance, tidal conditions and the latest sailing information must be checked for every call.
- Pilot and communications: Harbor contact is reported on VHF channel 16, with a local pilot available to board approximately 0.5 nautical mile north of the entrance.
- Cargo handling: The available record supports an industrial and bulk/project profile, but does not establish public container-yard, LCL consolidation, reefer, rail or universal warehouse services.
- Terminal status: The port complex is described as privately owned and under construction in the supplied data. Our service team therefore obtains written confirmation of berth, equipment, shore labor and cargo-handling capability before fixing a vessel.
Routes & Transit Times
- Trade direction: Ras Selata is most logically evaluated for Mediterranean and regional industrial cargo movements. Actual port rotation, vessel availability and acceptance depend on the nominated owner, charterer and terminal.
- Connection model: Breakbulk, bulk or project cargo may be planned as a direct vessel call when the cargo and ship fit the confirmed quay limits. Containerized cargo should be assessed through a suitable Lebanese container gateway if LBRSE cannot accept the required equipment or service.
- Transit-time control: We do not publish a fixed transit promise for LBRSE. Total lead time is affected by vessel nomination, port construction status, pilotage, weather, berth availability, cargo readiness, customs release and inland delivery permissions.
- Weather and navigation: Sudden strong southwesterly winds may affect approach or berthing. Arrival windows should include operational contingency and be reconfirmed with the local agent.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary hinterland: The immediate logistics role is the Selaata industrial and chemical-plant area in northern Lebanon. Inland routing beyond the plant should be checked for road suitability, permits and delivery-site constraints.
- Likely cargo profile: Plant feedstock, industrial chemicals, dry bulk, heavy machinery, replacement parts, construction materials and project cargo may be relevant, subject to the terminal’s current handling authorization.
- Containerized shipments: The port record lists zero FCL and LCL service entries. Our team does not assume regular container handling, empty-equipment availability or consolidation service at LBRSE.
- Heavy and regulated cargo: Chemical products, oversized machinery and industrial equipment require early review of SDS, packing, lifting points, road weight limits and consignee-site readiness.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-off: No fixed public cut-off or terminal operating window should be assumed. Our service team obtains the vessel nomination, cargo acceptance, documentation deadline, berth window and port-agent instructions in writing.
- Dangerous goods: Chemical and hazardous cargo must be declared before booking with the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, SDS and applicable transport mode documentation. Acceptance remains subject to the carrier, terminal, port and competent authorities.
- Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading instructions, certificates and any cargo-specific permits should be prepared before arrival. Customs release, documentary review and physical inspection timing must be confirmed locally and should not be treated as automatic.
- Inland delivery: For heavy, wide or hazardous cargo, our team checks route geometry, bridge and axle limits, escort or permit requirements, truck availability and the receiving plant’s unloading equipment before dispatch.
Shipping Tips
- Send cargo dimensions, gross weight, center of gravity, lifting points, SDS and cargo photographs to our service team before vessel selection, especially for plant equipment and chemical cargo.
- Request written confirmation of maximum permitted draft, current approach depth, berth availability, pilot boarding instructions and weather limitations close to the intended call.
- Use seaworthy export packing with corrosion protection, moisture barriers and clearly marked lifting and center-of-gravity points; confirm whether wooden packaging requires treatment and marking under the destination rules.
- Keep an alternative plan through another Lebanese gateway for containerized or time-critical cargo if LBRSE’s private industrial facilities, equipment scope or construction status do not match the shipment.
