Nanao (JPNNO)

The port is protected by the Funchu breakwater, which is 305m in length and is ideally positioned for trade with countries facing the Sea of Japan. The port is divided into three sections: Area No 1 contains most of the commercial berths. Area No 2 contains the approaches to the port and a LPG berth. Area No 3 is for small fishing vessels. Main commodities handled include coal, timber, and liquefied gas.

Approx 3,100,000t of cargo and 1,200 vessels handled annually.

Quarantine anchorage: A quarantine anchorage in Area No 2 is situated 0.6nm SW of Tera Shima. Large vessels may anchor in depths of approx 17m, sand. Dangerous Cargo: Vessels with dangerous cargo are permitted to anchor in Areas 2 or 3 of the port. When anchoring in Area No 3 of the port, caution is required due to the presence of submarine cables and marine farms. Tankers with flammable or dangerous cargoes are required to exhibit a notice to this effect, illuminated at night, whilst at anchor in the port. Small vessels: Anchorage can be obtained S of Waka Dashi. A good berth for vessels up to 2,000t is with Osugi Saki bearing 310° distance 0.7nm, in depths of approx 8m, mud and sand, good holding ground. Strong winds blowing through Koguchi raise some sea. There are depths of 6.0m between this berth and the piers in the harbour. Prohibited anchorage: Two areas, one within a circle of radius 600m centred on No 13 Lightbuoy and the other within a circle of radius 350m centred on O Se Lightbuoy are reserved for large vessels to alter course.
