2.1 Timor-Leste Port of Dili
Key port information can also be found at: Maritime Database information on Timor-Leste Port of Dili
Port Overview
The port in Dili is the main and only international port of
entry to Timor-Leste, the harbor is surrounded by a natural reef
with only one clearly marked access route; the reef provides a
natural protection against severe weather which can occur in the
rainy season (typically November – February).
A single 280m long wharf can handle a maximum of three vessels at
any one time and is nominally divided into three multi –functional
berths with a draft of 5 - 9M.
JICA have undertaken a rehabilitation project to reconstruct the
entire wharf due to structural defects in the original construction
and subsequent dilapidation of the jetty, this is due to be
completed by early 2010.
One ramp facilitating roll-on, roll-off vessels is located past the
East end of the jetty, and one on the West side
Storage facilities are very limited and the port suffers from
congestion, containers where the harbor master indicates a maximum
capacity of 1,000 containers can be stored on the hard
standing.

Berthing Specifications
Dili port has no facilities to handle bulk cargos so shipments
are restricted to containerized and conventional cargos.
There are two fuel jetties close to Dili which are privately owned
by fuel companies and are dealt with in more detail in fuel
section. Any fuel or liquids coming into Dili port itself arrives
in ISO containers.
There are maritime police in Dili who have boats to patrol the
coastline, however they are not based within the port itself, there
are a variety of privately owned boats and speed boats in Dili
which can be rented through direct negotiations with their
owners.

Is the port equipment managed by the government or privately? n/a
There are three stevedoring companies operating in Dili port;
Perkins, Timor Stevedores and Troy Logistics Services, each are
having their own capacities and capabilities for mechanical
handling equipment, the list of forklift trucks below is composite
of their collective assets.
There are additional mechanical handling assets on the market in
Dili (including mobile cranes), these can also be rented and used
within Dili port on attaining permission of the port
authorities.
Timor Stevedores and Troy Logistics Services both have storage
compounds outside of the port which could be referred to as Inland
container depots; Troy Logistics Services are establishing a bonded
cargo facility within his compound in cooperation with the customs
authorities.

Government Website
The Timor-Leste government owns all aerodromes including in the
Oecussi enclave and the Dili Heliport. Aerodromes/heliport
operating hours are restricted to daylight hours as published.
The Civil Aviation Division (CAD) operates Presidente Nicolau
Lobato International Airport and is currently under the umbrella of
the airport directorate, administrative procedures are underway to
create a civil aviation authority that is separate from the Airport
directorate, and is due to be in place by early 2010.
Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport and Baucau/Cakung
aerodromes are designated as international aerodromes. However,
Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport presently is the
only aerodrome authorized by CAD for regular commercial operations
on a charter basis.
Operators intending to operate international flights to Baucau
aerodrome, including flights in support of UNMIT or others, must
obtain prior approval from the CAD, which will consider requests on
a case-by-case basis. Aerodrome operating minima are not
established. Operators shall establish aerodrome operating minima
for each of the aerodromes to which they operate into in accordance
with the provisions of as established by CAD. There are no visual
signals are available at the aerodromes.
Night operations generally are not permitted at the aerodromes;
however, the CAD may permit night operations for emergency purposes
only, such as for urgent medical evacuation or mercy flights and
training flights.
The grounds of Timorese aerodromes are divided into two zones as
follows:
a) Public zone comprising that part of the aerodrome opened to
public;
b) Restricted zone comprising the rest of the aerodrome.
For emergency/mercy flights; access to the restricted zone is
authorized in accordance with aviation regulations and
rules/conditions laid down by the aerodrome authority.
A number of additional airstrips and helicopter landing sites exist throughout Timor-Leste but these have not been assessed by CAD as suitable for civil aircraft operations.
Procedures for Foreign Registered Aircraft
In Timor-Leste., the following requirements need to be applied,
presented and approved before preposition of foreign registered
aircraft:
A formal letter of request for registration of foreign aircraft is
required to be submitted to the Civil Aviation Division (CAD),
approvals are granted pending satisfactory outcome of a physical
inspection of the aircraft. Foreign pilots wanting to operate in
Timor-Leste are required to submit a written request to CAD and
show proof of valid license.

Air-bridge Charges
An agreement between UNMIT, CAD and Australian armed forces has been made with the government of Timor-Leste to facilitate the evacuation of UN and ISF personnel in the event of civil unrest / conflict. However any special fees levied for such operations have not been formally established, CAD director indicated that usual landing fees would apply.
Security
Bad
There is a fence surrounding the airport and several security
providers maintaining a presence in the airport, this includes: a
UNPOL patrol, approximately 20 BPU (Timorese Border Patrol Unit)
personnel, and approximately 20 airport security officers.
The access fence at the start of runway 26 (East-Northeast of the
airport grounds) is closed with a locked gate, and not guarded.
However, during unrest this access point is a good alternative if
the public area of the main terminal building is volatile.
The Airport directorate has procured a container x-ray scanner
which should be established and operational in early 2010.
Companies Available
Information on some aviation service providers can be found at: AZ Freight information on Timor-Leste
2.2.2 Timor-Leste Baucau National Airport
Baucau or Cakung airport is located 6.5Km west of Baucau town
and has the status of an international airport as it has the
capability of receiving international flights, however it is
currently unattended.
The airport is available for use between sunrise and sunset;
operators intending to operate into Baucau must contact CAD at +670
3317 110 ext 101 or 102. Fax No. +670 3317 111
The runway is in very good condition (better than Dili airport) and
can serve Ilyushin Il-76 (Max takeoff weight: 157,000 kg) or
Antonov 124s.
There is an apron with asphalt surface 100m x 108m connected to the
runway by a 37 m stretch of asphalt taxiway.
The control tower is still in place, but is dysfunctional although
Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts are available through the Darwin MET
office. The terminal buildings are currently used as a barracks and
operations canter for UNPOL border patrol units.
However, as there is no traffic control, fire fighting equipment or
ground handling facilities, an advance team would be needed to set
up communications and security for emergency operations.

2.2.3 Timor-Leste Suai National Airport
Suai airfield is a domestic and unattended aerodrome located 4km
east of Suai town. The runway is asphalt and in reasonable
condition, however the area is frequented by people and livestock
so caution is due for taking off and landing.
The facility can be used between sunrise and sunset; for
administrative purposes contact CAD, Dili Tel No. +670 3317 110.
Fax. No +670 3317 111
There is a 40 x 40m asphalt apron on the side of the runway which
is now used as a helipad.
Obstacles include seasonal kite flying and an unlit, 130ft,
Telecommunications mast; position: S09 15.0 E125 00.2
There is no traffic control, fire fighting equipment or ground
handling facilities, so an advance team would be needed to set up
communications and security for emergency operations.

For information on Timor-Leste Road Network contact details, please see the following link:
4.1 Timor-Leste Government Contact List
According to the ADB national road network master plan; almost the entire core road network needs rehabilitation as road conditions demonstrate premature deterioration due to lack of routine and preventative maintenance which is compounded by intense rainfall and unstable geotechnical conditions. Areas of high elevation are suffering from landslides and erosive degradation whereas low lying areas are prone to seasonal flooding. The rural road networks are of serious concern as substantial portions of the population are inaccessible for significant periods in the rainy season, creating severe challenges for organizations attempting to implement humanitarian programs within the rural areas.
Distance Matrix
Travel times in Timor-Leste vary significantly between the wet and dry seasons, in the rainy season use of local intelligence is highly advisable whe transports or visiting districts.
Road Security
At present there are no significant security issues to contend with for road travel in Timor-Leste as there are very low levels of road banditry etc. Pending any large scale outbreak of civil unrest and alike.
Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
Road Class and Surface Conditions
The Directorate of Roads, Bridges and Flood Control (DRBFC) readily admit that the road classifications do not always reflect the physical condition of the road itself, national roads can sometimes be little more than dirt tracks, in general they are better than district roads etc.

2.4 Timor-Leste Railway Assessment
Timor-Leste Railway Assessment
There are no railways in Timor-Leste, or rail links to Timor-Leste.
2.5 Timor-Leste Waterways Assessment
Timor-Leste Waterways Assessment
There are no lakes with any kind of shipping transportation capability, the rivers in Timor-Leste are dry for most of the year and it is beyond the scope of the LCA to assess the international shipping lines serving Timor-Leste. However there are two features of Ocean transportation based in Dili that are worthy of note.

2.6 Timor-Leste Storage Assessment
Timor-Leste Storage Assessment
There is a current shortage of available storage facilities in Dili. Many humanitarian organizations make do with containers located within their compound, or through arrangements with suppliers.
However, there are various plots of unused land, some of which are already fenced off, which could be easily converted into open storage compounds for containerized storage.

Cold Chain
The only operator with cold chain logistics capacity in Timor-Leste is the Central Pharmacy Warehouse, located in Kampung Alor SAMES. Constructed by international engineers, with Australian aid, the warehouse is in excellent condition. However, excess storage availability is limited, and planned increases in health and vaccination programs are likely to put pressure on capacity.
In the courtyard of the warehouse there is ample space for reefer containers, and power supply is available.
2.7 Timor-Leste Milling Assessment
Timor-Leste Milling Assessment
Currently the only commercially operating mills in Timor-Leste are those used by the coffee growing cooperatives. Some small scale rice mills can be found, however they have a very limited production capacity serving family requirements at a village level.
