diameter of the swing circle and the area requirements per vessel,
see Table 5-17 and Table 5-18. For size of berth for floating

Tankers. Anchorages for tankers and similar vessels should be at
least 152.4 m (500 ft) from adjacent berths, and located so that
prevailing winds and currents carry spillage away from general
anchorage and berthing areas.
Explosives. Anchorages for vessels carrying explosives should be
separated in accordance with quantity-distance relationships
established in DOD 5154.45 (DOD, 1978), which has since been
superceded by DOD 6055.9 (DOD, 1997), and NAVSEA OP 5
(NAVSEA, 1999).
