Donghae (KRTGH)

Donghae is the largest port in eastern South Korea with sufficient depth of water, with only minor tidal changes, for large international vessels. The main cargoes are cement and ferro-alloys, produced by local industries for export to China (mainland), Japan and Russia. The principal cargoes handled are break bulk cement, soft coal, limestone and gypsum. Donghae has merged traffic figures with Mukho. (See also Mukho port information).

Summer.

Donghae, formerly known as Tonghae, is located on the E side of the Korean peninsula, approx 300km from Seoul.

LOA 229.93m, beam 40m, draught 12.5m, 93,204DWT.

Approx 34,000,000t of cargo merged traffic figure with Mukho handled annually.

The following designated anchorages are available outside the N breakwater: A1, A2 and A3, for vessels up to 30,000t. A4 and A5, for vessels under 10,000t B1, B2 and B3, for vessels up to 50,000t Quarantine anchorage, centred 0.8nm NE of the head of the N breakwater.

There are no approach channels. The port is protected by two breakwaters, the S breakwater, 280m in length lying northeastwards from the E end of the S pier and the N breakwater, approx 1,480m in length, running southeastwards from the N side of the port. Lights are exhibited from the breakwater heads. Depths in the harbour are from 10m to 14m.

Compulsory but available only during daylight hours. The pilot boards approximately 2nm E of the N breakwater in the vicinity of 37°29.7'N 129° 11.5'E (No 2 Pilot Station).

The seaward limit of the harbour is defined by a line drawn E for 2.5nm, from a position on the shore 1.8nm NW of the N breakwater light, then S for 2.3nm, and then W to the shore, S of the harbour.

Turning basin 600m in diameter, depth 14.0m. An area in the approaches bounded by the following positions: 37°30.6'N 129°10.2'E 37°30.6'N 129°10.8'E 37°28.9'N 129°10.8'E 37°28.9'N 129°10.2'E 37°29.4'N 129°09.2'E 37°29.9'N 129°10.2'E.

Range 0.20-0.30m.

The VTS Service Zone is contained within a line joining the following positions: 37°41.17'N 129°02.48'E 37°42.33'N 129°09.97'E 37°24.55'N 129°21.35'E 37°22.00'N 129°15.08'E. Compulsory for the following: ..... 1. Passenger vessels 2. Vessels over 300GT 3. All vessels carrying dangerous cargo 4. Towing vessels over LOA 200m 5. Other vessels as designated by the VTS Reporting: Vessels must report on VHF Ch 12 as follows: 1. Pre-entry report: 2-1 hours before arrival, stating: Vessel's name and callsign Destination and ETA Departure port Type of cargo and tonnage Other safety related information 2. Entry Report: When 2nm from port limits 3. Arrival Report: On arrival at berth or anchorage 4. Pre-Movement Report: 10 minutes prior to movement 5. Movement Report: On movement and after movement 6. Pre-Departure Report: 10 minutes prior to departure 7. Departure Report: Upon departing. Same as Pre-entry Report.

Prevailing winds: NW'ly, mostly in winter season. Donghae port confronting with the E sea is under the direct influence of the open sea. Occasionally, sudden E gales, without warning, cause a very heavy swell in the outer harbour rendering the anchorage very dangerous and unstable. Extreme caution should be taken at all times during the period from Dec-Mar. Dense fog frequently occurs from mid May to Mid Jul, with visibility sometimes deteriorating to less than 100m, although this is usually for a short duration.
