Pulau Reusam (W Sumatra)

Pulau Reusam, the largest and highest of the four islands in Rigaih bay, is surrounded by a reef. Two shoals, with depths of 3.7 to 5.5m, lie about 0.1 mile W of Pulau Reusam.
A patch, with a depth of 5.9m, lies about 0.1 mile E of Pulau Reusam.

Vessels making any stay at Teluk Rigaih are recommended to moor W or S of Pulau Reusam, where there are depths of about 15m, sand and mud.

Between Teluk Rigaih and Meulaboh, about 47 miles SE, the coast is low with flat land stretching a great distance inland.
There are no off-lying dangers on this part of the coast.
The depths are regular, but it is recommended not to get inside the 20m curve at night, as within this depth soundings give little warning of being close inshore. This part of the coast is very uniform and without any remarkable features in the foreground.
