Swinoujscie (PLSWI)

The Port of Swinoujscie and the Port of Szczecin are managed by one authority. The port of Swinoujscie is recognised as having the largest dry bulk terminal in Poland. Major bulk cargoes handled at the port are coal, iron ore, fertiliser and aggregates. The port has a modern coal terminal for bulk carriers and there is also a modern terminal for the importation of iron ore. Swinoujscie ferry terminal additionally offers passenger, car, train and ferry services to Copenhagen, Denmark and Ystad, Sweden. The port is ice free. Vessels with deep draught can be lightened at this port for inward passage to Szczecin and outbound vessels can be completed to full load. The depths cannot be relied upon due to fluctuating water level and silting. The harbour authorities should be contacted for confirmation.

Summer Zone for ships over 100m in length and Winter Seasonal Area for ships of 100m or less in length. Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Swinoujscie is situated on the E bank of Uznam Island, at the mouth of the Swina River on S Baltic coast.

Draught 13.0m, LOA 315.6m, beam 50.0m, 122,006DWT.

Approx 37,000,000t of cargo and 91,000TEUs are handled annually.

Anchorage is available N of the entrance to Swinoujscie. The following anchorages are established for ships using the approach channel and roads: ..... Anchorage No 1A: For vessels less than 7.0m draught Anchorage No 1B: For vessels less than 6.0m draught Anchorage No 2A: For vessels less than 9.5m draught Anchorage No 2B: For vessels less than 11.0m draught Quarantine Anchorage: For vessels less than 11.0m draught Anchorage No 3: For vessels less than 12.8m draught. Ships may anchor in them for an unlimited period. Information on berths available in these anchorages can be obtained from Swinoujscie Traffic (duty officer), who should always be informed of a vessel's position on anchoring. Vessels leaving anchorage should report their name and port of destination to Swinoujscie Traffic. Deep draught vessels bound for Anchorage No 3 from the N may use the approach fairway, entering at the fairway lightbuoy 54°26.6'N 14°05.7'E. The track leads S for 8nm to the anchorage. Attention is drawn to the sea area to the W of Oder Bank, where less water is charted and also to the swept depth of 11.2m just N of the anchorage. Prohibited anchorage: Anchorage is prohibited within 0.2nm either side of the entrance leading line and in the vicinity of the wreck, with a depth of 10.5m over it, 4.50nm NNE of Swinoujscie E breakwater head. The E and W anchorages are divided by a submarine cable area where anchoring is also prohibited.

Reda Swinoujscie, the inner part of Zatoka Pomorska, is approached from the N or E channels, passing respectively, W or S of Oder Bank (54°21'N 014°25'E), known locally as Lawica Odrzana; the shoal area, which is extensive with a least depth of 4.8m, white sand, is fairly steep-to, except on its N side. The navigation channel is 32nm long with a varying width of 180-200m and a depth of 14.3m. The port entrance is protected by breakwaters. Turning places: There are three turning places in the river. The first, 370m in diameter, is centred 1nm S of the E breakwater head with depths of 11.0m to 14.0m. The second, 320m in diameter, is centred 0.8nm SW of the first with a depth of 11.0m. The third is off the entrance to the Mielinski Canal.

BA 2453, 2677, 2679. Admiralty Pilot NP19, NP286(2).

Ice Breaking Service: During the ice season the ice breaking service is continuously provided by port's tugs on the Swinoujscie approaching channel (N Fairway) and Swinoujscie - Szczecin Fairway. In the vicinity of the port's quays, the ice breaking service is provided if necessary. Icebreaker assistance is a separate service on request by agent, Swinoujscie or Szczecin Traffic or by direct contact with the tug (icebreaker). An Ice Report is available on request from Swinoujscie or Szczecin Traffic.

The density of water in the harbour varies between 1000 and 1006.

The use of mooring services is compulsory. Boatmen may be ordered through the vessel's agent. All vessels with length exceeding 50m are obliged to use the boatmen service. In the case of mooring or unmooring with dolphins, mooring motorboats are to be used regardless of the size of the vessel. The required number of linesmen, depending on vessel's size, is given in the following table: ..... Length of vessel (m) Operation 50-140 140-200 Over 200 Mooring 2-3 4-5 6 Unmooring 1-2 3-4 5

Vessels with length exceeding 176m or draught deeper than 9.0m are allowed to navigate only by day when visibility is not less than 2nm. Restrictions only refer to vessels navigating from the roads (anchorage) to port of Szczecin and vice versa. Vessels entering or leaving port of Swinoujscie are allowed to navigate by day and night, unless Harbour Master advises otherwise. Vertical clearance: A high tension cable, with a safe overhead clearance of 69m, supported by two lattice towers, each 120m in height and showing three red lights vertically disposed, spans the river about 1.5nm SW of the main lighthouse. Speed restrictions in the roadstead are 8kts for large vessels and 12kts for small vessels.

There are no tides but water level variation and a current at the entrance of Kanal Piastpwski may occur quite suddenly. The inward or outward current may attain a maximum rate of 1.5kts.

There are 4 tugs (1,200-4,520bhp). Number of tugs used depends on ship's length according to port regulations. Generally compulsory for vessels over 85m in length and oil tankers over 70m in length. Towage in the harbour is compulsory. The Harbour Master may exempt the vessel for a certain period of time and the port area from the obligation of using tugs or allow it to use fewer tugs than provided for by regulations if he considers vessel's manoeuvrability (eg bow thrusters or similarly acting devices) to be reliable or if such exemption is not hazardous to the safety of navigation in the port. The Harbour Master may order the vessel to use one or more tugs than provided by regulations if safety of navigation requires so. The required number of tugs for towing in the port are given in the following table: ..... Tugs A1 A2 B 1 90 -120 75 - 95 less than 60 2 120 -160 95 -140 60* -120 3 160 -180 140 -160 120 -160 4 over 180 over 160 over 160 * excluding harbour barges. A1 - All vessels A2 - All vessels, navigating in the basins Baltychi, Atlantychi and basins of Morska Stocznia Remontowa. B - Vessels without their own propulsion, for vessels carrying dangerous goods of IMO classes 1, 2 & 3 additional tug assistance.

Prevailing winds: W'ly. Weather conditions are those normally encountered in temperate zone. Strong NE winds cause heavy seas in the bay. In rough weather the topmarks of the buoys in the vicinity of Oder Bank may be carried away and the lights extinguished. In winter, with onset of ice, lightbuoys are withdrawn.The port is generally ice free all year, however difficulty maybe experienced between the beginning of Jan and the middle of Mar. Ice: The channel is kept open from the sea through Swinoujscie to Szczecin by icebreakers, as long as the central and W Baltic areas are not closed by ice. Difficulty may be experienced, however, between the beginning of Jan and the middle of Mar.
