Vessels moving in opposite directions may not use the dredged channel at the same time. Outbound vessels have priority over inbound vessels in the entrance channel. Should an inbound vessel be waiting to use the entrance channel, then it must maintain a distance of at least 800m from the most seaward buoys marking the channel, and to the S of the axis of the channel, until the outbound vessel is seaward of the channel.Vessels must establish and maintain radio contact from a distance of 1nm WSW of the entrance channel.

Sea level increases by 0.5m during S winds and 0.4m during N winds.

Vessels must inform the VTS of Igoumenitsa (VHF Ch 14) prior to all movements for further instructions. Igoumenitsa VTS co-ordinates sea traffic in Ormos Igoumenitsas through a narrow dredged channel with the W limit being a line drawn between the entrance of Thiamis Potamoi (Kalamas) (39°32'N 020°08'E) and Vrakhos Xeronisi (39°27'N 020°12'E). This area is sector 2 of Kerkira VTS.
