Pohang (KRKPO)

Pohang consists of two harbours, Pohang Old Harbour (Guhang) and Pohang New Harbour (Shinhang). The old harbour consists of an outer basin, protected by breakwaters, and an inner narrow dock. This harbour contains a ferry terminal and provides berths for small passenger vessels, coastal cargo vessels and fishing boats. Main exports are fish, fish products and steel, imports include iron ore, coal and petroleum. The new harbour, for commercial vessels, is built on reclaimed land E of the entrance to Hyongsan Gang and consists of a large and almost fully enclosed basin. It is protected on its N and W sides by reclaimed land faced with a breakwater, and on its E side by a breakwater extending N for 0.7nm from the entrance to a stream. The private new port of Pohang Youngil is operational and lies 6nm NE of Pohang, consisting of container and general cargo berths, see under separate entry.

Summer.

Pohang is situated on the E coast of South Korea.

LOA 340m, beam 60m, 3262,932DWT.

Approx 52,000,000t of cargo and 4,000 passengers are handled annually.

Designated anchorages, Nos 1-18, lie within the harbour limits E and SE of Pohang. Anchorage is prohibited in the vicinity of the submerged oil pipeline berths, 1.5nm E of the harbour entrance and in the approach to Pohang New Harbour. Both areas are marked by buoys. Although the holding ground is good, the anchorage is open to heavy swell from the NE in winter and the berths E of the New Harbour may be dangerous in heavy weather. There is an outer anchorage area which contains a designated quarantine anchorage, with a radius of 0.45nm, 3.5nm ENE of Talman Gap (36°07.0'N 129° 26.0'E).

Entrance to Pohang Bay is approx 5.6km wide in depths of 23.0m. Although open to the NNE, there is good shelter from prevailing winds. The port is an open roadstead with no approach hazards and no channel. The Pohang harbour consists of an outer basin with an inner harbour S of the basin, both are protected on the N side by the main breakwater, 1nm in length and on the E side by another breakwater, 0.3nm in length, extending N from an area reclaimed for harbour development. A large reclamation project is underway immediately N of the N breakwater. Two detached breakwaters have been constructed near the middle of the harbour to protect the inner basin. Lights are exhibited from the ends of these breakwaters, another light is exhibited from a tower off the foreshore in position, 36°00.0'N 129°25.4'E. Lightbuoys, in accordance with IALA Maritime Buoyage System "B", mark the approaches to the harbour. Leading beacons, 36°01.0'N 129°26.0'E, (triangular topmarks), the front standing on the E Breakwater and the rear, 0.7nm SW in line bearing 240°, lead through the buoyed approach channel. A direction light, 36°01.0'N 129°24.0'E is exhibited on the W side of the harbour, the white sector bearing between 262° and 265.3°, indicates the inner fairway through the harbour entrance.

BA 898, 3666. Admiralty Pilot NP43, NP286(6).

Pilotage is compulsory and available throughout 24 hours, but may be restricted depending on size of vessels. There are 6 pilots available. Advance notice of ETA is necessary as pilots come from Seoul. Pilots boards in position 36°06.18'N 129°29.86'E (No 1). Pilotage area comprises the waters within a line joining the following positions: ..... 1. 36°04.42'N 129°29.36'E 2. 36°04.30'N 129°29.33'E 3. 36°01.22'N 129°29.88'E

The outer limit of the port is defined by a line drawn from a position 1nm NW of Talman Gap (36°07.0'N 129°26.0'E) E for 3.75nm, and then S to the shore at Sul Mi.

Major lights: Changgigot Light (36°05.0'N 129°34.0'E). Pohang New Harbour N Breakwater Light (red octagonal column, 15m in height) (36° 01.6'N 129°25.9'E). Pohang New Harbour E Breakwater Light (white round concrete structure, 13m in height) (36°01.3'N 129°25.4'E).

Range 0.3m.

Participation in the VTS is mandatory for all foreign vessels, Korean vessels over 300gt (except coastal fishing vessels), Korean vessels carrying dangerous cargo and Korean towing vessels over LOA200m. The VTS is operated for the purpose of providing navigational information to vessels navigating within the Pohang Port limit. The VTS area covers the inner harbour limit and a radius of 6.0nm from Homigot Light (36°04.50'N 129°34.30'E). There are 2 radar stations located at the N Breakwater and Janggigab. Both stations are operated by the port control and work as navigational aids. To obtain information vessels should call Pohang Port Control, via VHF Ch 16 or Ch 12. Port Traffic Management System (PTMS) is operated for the purpose of providing navigational information to vessels navigating within the Pohang Port limit. The PTMS covers an area with a 6.0nm radius from Changgigot (Homigot) Lighthouse (36°04.5'N 129°34.3'E). Vessels entering the port or passing through the VTS service area are obliged to give their position 10nm from Janggigab. Participation in the traffic scheme is compulsory for all vessels except fishing vessels. Vessels shall contact Pohang Port Services when approaching 10nm from Changgigot (Homigot) Light (36°04.5'N 129°34.3'E) to obtain navigational information. Vessels should report to the PTMS as follows (with vessel's name, callsign, destination, ETA, position, course, speed and last port of call). Also, time of anchoring or berthing, place and time of shifting, departure place/time and next port of call, when appropriate: ..... Type of Report When reported ETA Report 2 hours prior to arrival and when 10nm from Changgigot (Homigot) Light Reporting Point When 4nm from Changgigot (Homigot) Light Arrival Report After berthing and dropping anchor Shifting Report Before or after shifting ETD Report Before departure Departure Report When leaving berth or anchorage Radar: Vessels requiring radar information advice should call Pohang VTS on VHF Ch 16 or 12.

There are 7 tugs available.

Prevailing winds: W'ly and NW'ly. Winds: During the S wind in summer the inner part of Yong-Il Man is calm. From November to April NE winds cause a heavy swell. Ice: Yong-Il Man is never ice bound but there is sometimes ice in Hyongsan Gang. Conditions alongside: Vessels berthed in Pohang New Harbour may experience difficulty in strong NE winds, or during the passage of a tropical storm in summer. In these conditions a heavy and confused swell can develop with the harbour, despite the breakwaters, leaving vessels alongside vulnerable to damage.
