Miyazu (JPMIY)

A small port infrequently visited by large vessels which are required to anchor or use the buoy mooring.

Summer.

Miyazu is situated on the Sea of Japan coast of Honshu on the southern side of Wakasa Wan.

Max LOA 100m, draught 5.0m.

Approx 730,000t of cargo & 100 vessels handled annually.

Outer anchorage: Apart from the few charted shoals, Miyazu Wan is clear of dangers in the fairway and safe anchorage with good holding ground can be obtained by all vessels. Inner anchorage: Good anchorage is available in most parts of the port. The area S of a line drawn E and W through Shishisaki Hana (35°33'N 135°12'E) has a mud bottom and gives good holding ground. It provides a secure anchorage for large vessels. Vessels carrying dangerous cargo must anchor in No 1 Area.

The central part of the port has a depth of 15m or more, with no obstructions for the movement of vessels within the port. The port is entered between Hami Saki (35°37'N 135°15'E) and Kuro Saki, 1.25nm SSE. From a position 0.7nm NNW of Kuro Saki, the recommended track leads SE, passing (with positions from Katashima Hana 35°35'N 135°14'E): SE of Hioki Saki (1nm N), then, NW of Katashima Hana, a point terminating in a cliff. Then, SE of a lightbuoy (starboard hand) 0.5nm WNW, then, SE of the S pier of Ejiri (1.25nm WSW). The track leads SSW to a point WNW of Shishisaki Hana (2.25nm SSW). Okino Guri, 0.2nm SW of Shishisaki Hana, has a least depth over it of 14.0m, and is marked by a lightbuoy (port hand). The track then leads S, clear of No 1 Mooring Buoy, to the entrance of the port. Draught limitation in the harbour approach is approx 10.0m.
