Yingkou: Vessels must receive a berth allocation from the harbour authorities before entering; and berths must not be shifted without permission, except due to adverse weather conditions or for the safety of the vessel. The following procedure is adopted by Yingkou pilots: The berth is approached with slight headway against the stream, on a converging course of about 10° to the wharf. The offside anchor is let go when exactly abeam the berthing position and nearly 100m from the wharf. Cable is veered rapidly to about 82m; the vessel is then approximately in her berthing position and wire hawsers are passed ashore. A wire hawser attached to a mooring laid well out in the river, is then bought to the stern by a sampan, hauled taut and secured. In some cases the positions of the hawser moorings, which are laid opposite to the main wharves, are indicated by a large white anchor painted on the wall of a building abeam the mooring.

Compulsory. Pilot service is available throughout 24 hours. Yingkou Pilot boards vessels at the Pilot anchorage. (40°31.5'N 122°00.0'E). Bayuquan Pilot boards at Buoy No 1 in position 40°17.8'N 121°59.0'E.

Yingkou: Port limits extend to 1.5nm E of the W extremity of the E Training Wall (40°32.0'N 122°01.0'E). Bayuquan: Port area limits extend to 10.4nm E of Taiza Shan Light (40°18.0'N 122°06.0'E).

The main lightbuoys to Yingkou are as follows: ..... Name Latitude Longitude No 1 Lightbuoy 40°17.7'N 121°58.8'E No 2 Lightbuoy 40°17.8'N 121°58.8'E No 5 Lightbuoy 40°17.5'N 122°01.8'E No 6 Lightbuoy 40°17.6'N 122°21.8'E No 9 Lightbuoy 40°17.2'N 122°04.7'E No 10 Lightbuoy 40°17.3'N 122°04.7'E Front Light 40°17.1'N 122°06.2'E Rear Light 40°17.0'N 122°07.3'E

It is possible to enter/leave the port after sunset. Yingkou Port may be closed due to ice in the winter period, between Nov 20 and Apr 20. Entry is prohibited into a restricted area bounded by lines joining the following positions: 1. 40°37'18"N, 122°00'18"E 2. 40°35'00"N, 122°00'18"E 3. 40°35'00"N, 121°59'12"E 4. 40°37'18"N. 121°59'12"E

Max rise, 4.6m; min rise 0.3m; average rise 2.5m. The ebb stream generally commences when the water level on the bar has fallen from 0.3 to 0.6m, and the flood stream after a corresponding rise in the tide. Outside the bar the stream sets NNW at the commencement of the flood and, passing through N, ends setting NNE. On the bar the tidal stream sets obliquely across it, the flood stream setting N, the ebb stream S, with a maximum rate of 2 to 4kts. Tidal streams off Yingkou run up river for 4 to 5 hours; they may attain a rate of 6kts. It is reported that with strong S to SW winds HW occurs earlier, and with strong N to NE winds there may be practically no HW.

Vessel Traffic Service VHF Ch 69, 09, 65, callsign "Yingkou VTS" operates throughout 24 hours. Reporting lines are as follows: ..... 1. Reporting Line No 1: An arc of radius 25nm from Taiza Shan Light (40°18.0'N 122°06.0'E). 2. Reporting Line No 2: An arc of radius 12nm from Taiza Shan Light. Vessels should request permission to use the fairway 30 mins in advance. Vessels arriving/departing from anchorage, mooring or buoys should report to Yingkou VTS 30 mins in advance to request permission to proceed.

There are 7 tugs available in Yangkou and 5 in Bayuquan, max 4,800hp together with several working boats.

Ice: From the end of Nov to approx mid Apr, Yingkou Port is liable to be iced over and consequently closed. If not blocked by the end of Nov, the river becomes dangerous for navigation due to drifting ice. It is recommended that vessels wishing to leave the port safely during ice formation do so before 20th Nov. Vessels may enter the river 2 days after the thaw but must keep a close watch for drifting ice over the next 20 days.
