Helsinki (FIHEL)

Helsinki is Finland's largest general cargo import port, the second largest export port and the leading container and passenger port. Extensive cargo handling facilities are provided, with substantial shifts in harbour usage over the last few years. The following 4 harbours are the original port areas, West, South, Laajasalo Oil Harbour (closed end 2010) and Vuosaari, approx 16km NE of the city. The former North Harbour has been gradually discontinued for commercial traffic, all services have moved to the new Vuosaari Harbour. West Harbour specialises in container transport and Vuosaari Harbour in container and Ro-Ro transport. Passenger services are mostly concentrated in the South Harbour and partly in the West Harbour. These harbours cover a total area of 164ha and provide over 11,046m of quays. In winter the port is kept clear of ice by large ice breaking vessels. Under the jurisdiction of Helsinki port is Porkkala (Kantvik Harbour), see separate entry. This is a dry bulk port, including coal for local power station.

Summer Zone for ships over 100m in length and Winter Seasonal Area for ships of 100m or less in length, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Helsinki is situated on the S coast of Finland at the mouth of the River Vantaa, in the Gulf of Finland.

LOA 333.33, beam 43.00m, 76,619DWT

Approx 14,000,000t of cargo, 500,000TEU, 7,000 vessels and 9,000,000 passengers handled annually.

A designated outer anchorage area, with depths of 22.0-45m, is centered about 1.4 miles NNW of Helsinki Light (59°57.0'N 024°56.0'E). Anchorage can be taken, in a depth of 22.0m, mud and stones, off the W side of Susisaari, about 0.6 mile SW of Harmaja Rear Range Light (Suomenlinna Church). This is a good temporary anchorage but is open to onshore winds. Kruunuvuorenselka, the E roadstead, affords the best anchorage, in depths of 12.0-16.5m, mud. This anchorage is well protected from all winds. Anchoring is prohibited E of the line of Helsinki Lighthouse, Harmaja Island.

The main approach from seaward to Helsinki is from the Gulf of Finland TSS: the route passes E of Helsinki Lighthouse (59°56.9'N 024°55.8'E) and, 3.75nm farther N, branches to approach the W and E groups of harbours. Approach and Entry: Lansisatama, the basin and berths in the SW part of Helsinki, are approached from Lauttasaarenselka, the W roadstead, which is situated between the mainland and Lauttasaari (60°09'N 024°53'E), an island joined to the mainland by bridges and a causeway. The roadstead is entered from S by the channel, depth 11.0m and can also be reached from SE by the channel passing NE of Pihlajasaari, depth 8.9m. Helsinki Lighthouse - Harmaja - West & South Harbours: The main approach to Helsinki, this channel starts from E of the Helsinki Lighthouse and proceed towards to Harmaja Island. At Harmaja Island fairway continues towards Kustaanmiekka Strait between the islands of Suomenlinna and Vallisaari, to the open area of water beyond, known as Kruunuvuorenselka. To this point the channel is navigable by vessels drawing up to 9.5m. The fairway branching off to the South Harbour 7.9-9.1m depth, to the cruise quay 9.3m depth and to the Laajasalo Oil Terminal of 9.5m depth. The pilot boarding position is 2nm S from Harmaja Island. Distance from Helsinki Lighthouse to the harbours in 13nm. Helsinki Lighthouse - West Harbour (deep water fairway): The 10.8m channel leads from the Helsinki Lighthouse to the E of the Graskarsbadan Light and then between the islands of Pihlajasaari and Melkki to the West Harbour. Pilot boarding position is 4nm N from Helsinki Lighthouse. Distance from Helsinki Lighthouse to the West Harbour is 12nm. Helsinki Lighthouse - Vuosaari Harbour: The 11.0m fairway to the Vuosaari Harbour begins at 3.3nm E from the Helsinki Lighthouse and continues towards Vuosaari Harbour by passing islands, Ita-Toukki, Eestinluoto, Kuiva hevonen, Pikku niinisaari. Pilot boarding position is 2.7nm SSE from Eestinluoto Island, Distance from the Helsinki Lighthouse to the Vuosaari Harbour is 18nm. Porkkala - Helsinki: The winter fairway into Helsinki begins from roughly 8km W of the Porkkala Lighthouse. The channel is 9.0m deep from Sommaro to Ronngrund. The fairway joins the 10.8m channel leading to the West Harbour SW of Katajaluoto, and joins the 9.6m channel leading to Helsinki N of Harmaja. The fairway continues eastwards towards Vuosaari Harbour by passing Isosaari and Villinki Islands and then joins the 11.0m fairway at Kuiva Hevonen. The pilot boarding position is 4nm W from Porkkala Light. The distance from Porkkala to Suomenlinna is 25nm and from Suomenlinna to Vuosaari Harbour is 11m. During the winter months, the passage from the Helsinki Lighthouse to Harmaja may be closed occasionally owing to ice conditions, then all vessel traffic into Helsinki is directed via the route above. Directions for arrival in the port: Vessels using the main approach to the port from Helsinki Lighthouse should keep the Harmaja Lighthouse Beacon in line with the church tower on the island of Suomenlinna. The light from Harmaja is visible at a distance of 20nm, and the approach channel has a bearing of 007°. The islet of Harmaja is left on the western side of the fairway. In the event that the vessel's Master is not very familiar with the fairway and its markings, he is strongly advised not to proceed without the assistance of a pilot any closer than 2nm to Harmaja, where the channel veers to a bearing of 010°.

Finnish coastguard Suomenlinna and Rescue Centre, Helsinki. Coastguard can be contacted on MF and VHF emergency channels. There are several coastguard vessels in the Gulf of Finland.

1000-1006.

A vessel must be moored or anchored in the place indicated by the harbour authorities and may not be moved to another location without their consent. The main principle in allocating berths shall be that vessels are entitled to obtain berths in the same order as they arrive in the harbour area. However, this may be deviated from by resolution of the harbour authorities or by special agreement. The Master of the vessel must know the water depth at each berth. When mooring a vessel alongside a quay, due caution must be observed to prevent damage to the quay or to cranes on it. If necessary the assistance of a tug may be required. The assistance of the port's personnel must be used when mooring or unmooring a vessel, unless otherwise agreed with the harbour authorities. Personnel needed for the unmooring of a vessel must be ordered at least two hours before departure, unless otherwise agreed with the harbour authorities. At those quays or sections of quays whose foundations are not capable of withstanding the currents caused by a vessel's screw, the harbour authorities may prohibit the use of screws and require the use of a tug. The use of an anchor alongside a quay must be avoided. While alongside the quay, the vessel must use adequate fenders. Gangways and ship's ladders must be fitted with handrails and protective nets and must be kept lit during the hours of darkness. Gangways and ship's ladders shall be secured so as not to cause a nuisance or damage. Equipment projecting beyond the sides of a vessel must be so placed that they do not obstruct activities on the quay nor on the seaward side of the vessel. Should a vessel while alongside the quay, carry out operations which may cause harm or damage, the permission of the harbour authorities should be sought. A vessel must be moved to another berth if so ordered by the harbour authorities. A vessel, which is not laid up, should have an adequate crew onboard to permit its being moved, should the need to do so arise. An exception to this requirement may be granted by the harbour authorities. To provide for towing in an emergency, a tanker transporting a dangerous substance, and if the Harbour Master so orders any other vessel, must put out two lines after it has made fast, one from the stern and one from the bow; these lines must hang from the seaward side of the vessel in such a way that their eyes are close to the surface of the water. A vessel may be laid up and moored in the harbour only with the harbour authorities permission and on conditions set by them. The owner or occupant of the vessel must ensure that its mooring equipment is always in good condition. A vessel used as an accommodation facility, restaurant or for some other comparable purpose may be located at a quay only with the Managing Director's permission. The owner or occupant of a vessel which has been located without authorisation, must remove it when ordered to do so by the harbour authorities.

Pilotage is compulsory and should be requested 24 hours in advance, confirmed 6 hours and re-confirmed 3 hours before arrival at the pilot boarding position using www.finnpilot.fi. Vessels departing from port or shifting in the port must request a pilot 6 hours prior to departure, and re-confirm 3 hours prior to departure, using VHF Ch 13 or Tel: +358 2 0754 6151. Pilotage is compulsory for: ..... 1. A vessel or a vessel combination with a maximum length of more than 70m or a maximum width of more than 14m or whose greatest summer load draught in salt water is more than 4.5m. 2. Vessel carrying a bulk cargo of hazardous substances that can pollute the sea. 3. A vessel carrying Irradiated Nuclear Fuel (INF) cargo. Pilot boards in position: 1. Porkkala: 2.5nm SW of Sommaro (59°53.60'N 024°11.68'E). Provides pilotage for Inkoo and Kantvik. 2. Harmaja: 2nm or 6nm SSW of Harmaja Light (60°04.31'N 024°57.74'E). Provides pilotage for Helsinki and Kalkkiranta. 3. Graskarsbadan:Harmaja: Provides pilotage for Helsinki and Kalkkiranta (60° 00.37'N 024°56.46'E) 4. Vuosaari: 60°04.96'N 025°09.79'E. Provides pilotage for Vuosaari. 5. Emasalo: Provides pilotage for Provoo Oil Habour (Skoldvik) Tolkkinen and Kalkkiranta. Emasalo S: 60°00.0'N 025°32.62'E. Emasalo N: 60°02.60'N 025° 33.80'E Pilot Stations are located close to the following lighthouses: Harmaja, Porkkala and Soderskar. Pilots use Finnish, Swedish and English languages. The pilot normally boards 2nm S of Harmaja Fairway, 3nm N of Helsinki Lighthouse. The distances from the boarding point are as follows: 1. To anchorage 6nm 2. To nearest berth 6nm 3. To farthest berth 8nm Deep Sea Pilots: A deep sea pilot may be ordered via the vessel's agents or via all coastal pilot stations. Deep sea pilot should be ordered 24 hours in advance. Deep sea pilotage is performed by duly licensed government pilots during their off duty time but under supervision. When ordering a deep sea pilot, the usual information of the port of destination, ship's size, speed, specific behaviour or unusual characteristics should be given in advance by the agent, see http://www.finnpilot.fi. Pilotage limitations for large vessels: Pilotage limitations for large vessels through Kustaanmiekka Sound (60°08.3'N 024°59.7'E); which are decreed by the Department of Navigation, are as follows: If the vessel draws more than 9.0m, or its length is more than 160m, or its registered tonnage exceeds 18,000t, it can be piloted through the Sound during daylight only, and, if the Master or pilot considers it necessary, with the aid of a strong tug. If the length of the vessel is over 201m, or the registered tonnage is over 25,000t, it cannot be piloted through the Sound, even though the vessel draws less than 9.5m; in these circumstances the vessel must anchor off.

(2) When navigating in the VTS area, vessels are required to maintain a continuous listening watch on VHF Ch 71 (Sector 1) or VHF Ch 09 (Sector 2). (3) Vessels navigating in the VTS area, which are not obliged to participate in the VTS, are recommended to maintain a listening watch on VHF Ch 71 (Sector 1) or VHF Ch 09 (Sector 2). (4) Vessels with a Pilot Exemption Certificate or exemption from compulsory pilotage are required upon entry into the VTS area to report the number of the exemption to the VTS centre. This report can also be submitted in advance. An advance notice can be made for several voyages at the same time. Upon entry into a VTS area, the vessel shall report to the VTS centre, whether the exemption is being implemented according to the advance notice. (5) Vessels are obliged to obey the rules relevant to the traffic in the VTS area. (6) The master must notify the VTS of the following events taking place in the VTS area or its vicinity: (a) Any incidents or accidents affecting the vessel’s safety (b) Any incidents or accidents endangering the safety of navigation (c) Any circumstances that may cause pollution of waters or the coast (d) Any pollutant spills and containers or packages drifting in the sea (7) When vessels agree on matters concerning traffic situation, they shall discuss it on the VTS channel. NOTICE OF CHANNEL USE: For details, see GENERAL NOTES. REPORTING: (1) Vessels are required to report: (a) Upon entry into the VTS area (b) Before anchoring (c) Before leaving an anchorage (d) After berthing (e) Before leaving port (f) Before departure from Port of Helsinki, vessels shall submit a departure report in order to be given permission to depart: (i) Helsinki South Harbour and West Harbour, vessels must submit a departure report 5 mins prior to departure (ii) When leaving Vuosaari Harbour, the permission to depart is in force for 15 mins, during which time the vessel must get underway. The vessel is required to give a report when underway. The procedure regarding permission to depart also concerns vessels moving from one berth to another in the harbour area. (g) At the reporting points in the area: (i) Vessels must report 15 mins before arriving at the Kustaanmiekka or Sдrkдnsalmi Straits (ii) Northbound vessels must report when passing Itдtoukki (iii) Vessels must report 15 mins before passing Kuiva Hevonen in the coastal fairway (iv) 15 mins before entering Barцsund (h) Preliminary notice of departure for vessels departing from Port of Helsinki: All vessels, except those in liner traffic sailing according to a published timetable, must give a preliminary notice of departure after berthing. Any changes to the time of departure indicated in the notice of departure or in the published liner traffic timetable must be reported to the VTS as soon as possible. If a vessel departs later than the time reported in the notice of departure, the vessel must immediately report this to the VTS. The VTS uses the data in the notice of departure for advance planning of the use of the fairway and icebreaking in the harbour area. The procedure of giving a notice of departure does not apply to piloted vessels. (i) Ferries must report only in restricted visibility (2) Reports should include the following information: (a) Vessel's name (b) Name of reporting point (c) Destination (d) Intended route. If an alternative route is selected, this must be reported. PROCEDURES IN THE VUOSAARI CHANNEL: (1) The organization of vessel traffic departing from Vuosaari Harbour includes a procedure regarding permission to depart. When a vessel that is ready to leave port submits a departure report, the VTS grants or denies permission to depart from the port depending on the traffic situation. A granted permission to depart is in force for 15 mins. The VTS does not grant permission to depart if there is a vessel in the channel entering the harbour, and that vessel has passed Itдtoukki, reported 15 mins to Kuiva Hevonen or entered the area from the east from another sector. If the vessel is not ready to depart within 15 mins and there are other vessels waiting for their turn to enter the area where meeting and overtaking is prohibited, the vessel misses its turn to depart. In that case the vessel must give a new departure report to the VTS before being granted permission to depart. The procedure regarding permission to depart also concerns vessels moving from one berth to another in the harbour area. (2) Vessels reporting at Itдtoukki, entering the Sector 1 area from the E or reporting 15 mins prior to passing Kuiva Hevonen, will be given information by the VTS about meeting traffic and other information relevant to the safe passage of the ship. (3) During strong winds (mean wind 13 m/s or more) the VTS authority recommends that vessels in Vuosaari channel only meet south of Цstra Rцdhдllen. The VTS does not organize the traffic of meeting vessels outside the area where meeting and overtaking is prohibited, but vessels are requested to agree among themselves on how to meet safely. (4) When the use of the channel is restricted due to the wind situation and vessels have to wait for entrance into the channel, they have the option to reduce speed in order to ensure a safe meeting south of Цstra Rцdhдllen. When organizing the traffic, the VTS makes sure that the vessel does not lose its turn to enter the channel because of its reduced speed, by taking into account the original speed at which the vessel would have arrived at Itдtoukki. PROCEDURES IN THE APPROACH CHANNEL TO HELSINKI WEST HARBOUR: (1) Helsinki VTS organises inward-bound and outward-bound vessels to the West Harbour according to the schedules submitted by the vessels in advance. (2) Vessels leaving the West Harbour in Helsinki must submit a departure report in order to be granted permission to depart by the VTS. The departure report shall be submitted when the vessel is ready to depart within 5 mins. During strong winds (maximum wind speed 15 m/s) the vessel will not be granted permission to depart if another vessel, with a length over 215m, is already in or about to enter the manoeuvring basin. (3) Inward-bound vessels are advised well in advance on the order in which to enter the channel. The order is based on the agreed berthing times obtained by the Port of Helsinki. PASSING AND OVERTAKING IN EMДSALO FAIRWAY: (1) Vessels should avoid passing and overtaking in the harbour area north of latitude 60°17·80N (quay 8). This prohibition does not apply to passing and overtaking situations in which at least one of the vessels is a tug or a vessel, the size of which is comparable to a tug. (2) Vessels navigating in the Emдsalo fairway should avoid passing and overtaking in the following areas: (a) Between Estamsudden and Varlaxudden (b) Between Kцllhдllan and Neste C (c) In the 9·0m fairway marked with lateral buoys in Stenцren (3) Vessels are obligated to agree, well in advance, on passing and overtaking so that they meet outside these areas. (4) When necessary, Helsinki VTS determines a place for passing or overtaking. (5) These prohibitions do not apply to icebreakers or tugs without a tow. AREAS WITH MEETING AND OVERTAKING PROHIBITIONS: Meeting and overtaking is permanently prohibited in the following areas covered by Helsinki VTS sector 1: (1) In Sдrkдnsalmi strait between latitudes 60°08·80N and 60°09·10N in the 7·9m fairway. (2) In the Kustaanmiekka strait between latitudes 60°08·10N and 60°08·60N in the 9·6m fairway. (3) In the 11·0m fairway in the northern part of the Vuosaari fairway, between latitudes 60°11·10N and 60°12·50N. This prohibition does not apply to meeting and overtaking situations in which at least one of the parties is a tug or a vessel whose size is comparable to a tug.
