There is an outer light buoy 4.5NM off-shore and the buoyed channel starts 2NM off-shore. Keep to the west side of this channel.
The harbour is well protected by breakwaters.
It is advisable to arrange a berth through an agent prior to arrival. Call the Port Captain on VHF Channel 12 on approach, and there may be a berth available in the Phenisi harbour, although anchoring is prohibited and where you will find many types of working, engine-less sailing craft.
Anchoring is possible just outside the port near the break in the western breakwater. It is also possible to anchor in the western basin near the haul-out facilities. The holding is good here in mud in about 10 meters.
Water and fuel are available here.
The city has all the facilities expected in a major centre.

We visited Semarang so as to be able to visit Borobudur and Prambanan. Both highly recommended. For the tour, we went to the Tourist Information Centre and used Pram as guide +628123627164 pramacer7@gmail.com.
The cost was $150 pp for 4 people which expensive but did include entry fees to both sites, guides, lunch, driver and car. A good but long day 9 am to 9 pm. We had not been able to fix ahead so not able to bargain or shop around.
Semarang is not easy to port for yachties contrary to Andy Scott. Phenicia harbour packed, and no anchoring in the harbour. We called Pilot on ch12 and were told politely we should have fixed in advance with the agent for a berth.
Pram could help in arranging a berth if there is space. We anchored comfortably outside port just near the break in the western breakwater. Charles Manby S/Y Calliope
