Kolobrzeg (PLKOL)

The port, the sixth largest commercial port in Poland, has a total quayage length of 2,500m (including the fishing port), with berths handling dry bulk cargo, grain, feed stuff, timber and general cargo. The commercial berths are located on the E side and the fishing berths on the W side of the port. Prolonged stormy weather causes silting within the harbour and the authorities should be consulted for the latest depth information.

Kolobrzeg is situated in the central part of the Polish Baltic coast, in the estuary of the River Parseta.

LOA 85m, draught 4.7m, 2,000DWT

The best anchorage in the roadstead off Kolobrzeg, is in depths of 12.0-14.0m with Kolobrzeg Cathedral bearing 133° and Trzebiatow Church bearing 228°. At night, in a depth of 12.0m with Kolobrzeg Light bearing 133° and Gaski light bearing 085°. Anchoring is prohibited within a rectangular area, with its centre 9nm N of Kolobrzeg.

The entrance of the port is formed by two slightly curving breakwaters, the E of which extends 500m seawards and the W breakwater extends 450m with an entrance width of 84m. There is a turning basin within the port with a diameter of 100m. The approach is dredged to 8.0m, within the breakwater the depth is 6.0m and 5.0m within the harbour. Directions: From Kol Lightbuoy (safe water), moored approx 2.5nm NW of the entrance, the line of bearing (148°), of the grain elevators, leads 2nm SE. Then alter course to 122.5° to bring the Zaslubin z Morzem monument in to line with the E mole Light, then keep midway between the moles, entering at lowest speed consistent with steerage way being careful not to approach too close to the stone scarp protecting the outer side of the E mole head. Careful attention must be paid to the current which sets across the entrance, and the approach must be made so that the course made good will lead straight in. Otherwise, there is danger of being set against one of the moles, under the influence of the currents out of the river and along the coast, which meet off the heads of the moles. Hawsers must be ready, and speed reduced inside the moles. Caution: During high sea levels entering the harbour is difficult and may be dangerous. During strong gales vessels should not attempt to enter the harbour but stay at sea.

BA 2816, 2150. Admiralty Pilot NP19, NP286(2).

1006.

Compulsory for vessels of 40m and above and available throughout 24 hours. Request for pilot should be sent at least 1 hour before arrival at the roads. Pilotage is carried out up to wind speed of 20kts. Pilot boards approx 0.5nm from the port entrance at 54°12'N 015°32'E.

Lights are exhibited as follows: E mole, head (red round column, 2 galleries, elevation 13m) (fog signal, horn). W mole, head (green round metal structure, 2 galleries, elevation 11m). Kolobrzeg Lighthouse; 54°11.2'N 015°33.4'E.

Range 1.0m. In the vicinity of Kolobrzeg, the coastal current flows across the entrance of the harbour. With winds from NE, through E, to the SE it sets W, and with winds from the NW, through W, to the SW it sets E. With winds from the NE, through the N, to the NW the current may set either E or W. The coastal current is strongest when gales blow parallel to the coast, and may then attain a rate of 2.5kts. The current of the river flows outwards, usually at a rate of 1kt. After heavy rains it can often attain a rate of 3kts but when ice is in motion, it may reach 5kts. In the summer the level of the water usually falls 0.3m, and during all seasons short water level variations may occur depending on weather (wind) conditions.

There is no traffic scheme in operation.

Not Available. Pilot boat is used to help vessels turn.

Prevailing winds: WSW'ly to ENE'ly. Gales from NW, through N to NE, may cause the water level to rise by 1.0m and fall by as much with gales from the SW through S and SSE. These levels are more likely to occur in spring, autumn and winter. Ice: Generally starts forming in Jan. In early winters the ice may start forming during the last 10 days of Dec. Winds from the SW and NE have the greatest effect on drifting ice, while winds from the NW and N cause it to pile up on the shore. Icebreaker assistance can be obtained from the Harbour Master.
