Ustka (PLUST)

Ustka is a small commercial port, a fishing harbour, and a yacht marinas situated along a widened section of the River Slupia, 18km from the town of Slupsk. Cargo handled includes aggregates, grains and breakbulk.

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

Ustka is situated at the mouth of Slupia River, SW of Rowy port.

LOA 80m, draught 4.3m.

Anchorage in the roadstead off Ustka is best obtained in a depth of 13.5m, approx 6.5nm offshore, with Ustka Church spire bearing 183°. The Harbour Master must be informed when the vessel anchors and the vessel must be ready to sail from the anchorage during strong onshore winds.

The entrance is formed by two almost parallel concrete moles of 303m and 420m lengths. It is 40m in width and has a max depth of 6.0m. The main fairway to the inner port is 28m in width. Directions: From the roadstead, steer 153° with Ustka Lighthouse ahead until the entrance is clearly visible, when a course midway between the moles should be steered. A compass check may be obtained by observing the transit formed by the church tower in line with the lighthouse bearing 154°. In heavy onshore gales, entry into harbour should not be attempted on account of the heavy swell strong coastal current, heavy breakers and narrow entrance. If the weather is so stormy that entry becomes dangerous or impossible, the appropriate signal from the "International Code of Signals" will be displayed at the signal mast close E of the pilot's lookout.

Boatman service is compulsory for vessels over LOA 40m.

Pilotage is compulsory for the following: ..... 1. Vessels LOA 40m and over 2. Vessels carrying dangerous cargoes. Request for pilot should be sent at least 2 hours prior to arrival at the roads. Pilot boards 1nm NW of the harbour entrance.

The roadstead of the harbour is bounded by a 1.5 miles long radius vector, it's centre being at the lead light of the E breakwater, from the eastward border of the Area No 6 to the coastline.

Ustka Lighthouse (54°35.4'N 016°51.4'E), a reddish brown stone building with an octagonal tower and a white cupola, 22m in height, stands near the root of the E mole, light Occ 6s (2)+ 4. A radio beacon transmits from the lighthouse. Mole head lights are exhibited as follows: E side: (red mast, white band) at an elevation of 10m, light Iso R 6s. W side: (green mast, white base) at an elevation of 10m, light Iso G 6s. The port is radar equipped and can assist vessels in poor visibility conditions.

Nil. The current sets W across the entrance with winds from the N, through the E to the SSE, and E with winds from the N, through the W to the SSW. A rate of 2kts is normal when blowing parallel to the coast. With winds from the SSW and the SSE, the current flowing out of the river is noticeable, which may attain a rate of 4kts during the spring thaw.

No traffic scheme in operation

Compulsory for vessel over 500GT. Available by request.

With heavy gales from the WNW, through N to the ENE, water levels may rise up to 1.0m above the mean level. With gales from the ESE to the WSW, through S, may fall a similar amount, but such variations are unusual.
