The rear light is exhibited 1nm inland from a white round stone tower with a black top, 40m in height and the front from a red conical tower on a low stone building, 18m in height, 0.6nm NNW. At night, keep in the white sector of Tallinn front light, observing the traffic separation scheme described above. The separation line is marked by No 2 and No 3 Lightbuoys (safe water), moored adjacent to the junctions of the traffic lanes passing SE of Naissaar. Approach from W: From the main fairway through the Gulf of Finland, approach the Traffic Separation Scheme 1.5nm NNW of Ninamaa, passing close S of a lightbuoy (safe water) (59°30.0'N 024°20.0'E) which marks the W limit of the scheme. The traffic lane continues E for 6.5nm. Passing close S of a lightbuoy (safe water) moored 2.5nm NNW of Kakumae Neem, the lane leads 083.6° with No 3 Lightbuoy ahead, at night on the alignment of Viimsi Leading Lights to intersection of Tallinn fairway 159.1°. Caution: The traffic lane passes close S of Vahemadal Light Beacon, with part of the shoal lying within the lane and the buoy marking Riff Paljassaar with part of that shoal also lying within the lane. The traffic lane then joins with the lane for vessels approaching from the N (above) adjacent to No 3 Lightbuoy. Departure to W: Vessels intending to pass S of Naissaar leave the NNW bound traffic lane adjacent to No 2 Lightbuoy, altering course WSW toward the lightbuoy off Kakumae Neem (above), at night on the alignment of Suurupi Leading Lights, Front (59°28.3'N 024°25.1'E) and Rear at Suurupi Light, in line 246.5°.

Vana Sadam is divided into an outer harbour and Basins 1, 2 and 3; an inner basin, known as Admiralty Basin, is entered from the head of Basin 2. Generally, there are depths of 7.0-10.8m throughout the harbour, with lesser depths alongside some of the moles. Tallinn Uus Sadam: Lights are exhibited on the E side of the E entrance to the new harbour from a red tower, 3.0m in height. Lights are also exhibited on either side of the W entrance, on the E side from a white truncated pyramid, 4.0m in height, and on the W side from a red mast, 5.0m in height. Approach to Kopli Bay: The track leads into the centre of the bay between Kakumac nina and Kopli nina and is marked by buoys.
