Amderma (RUAMV)

Located along the coastline of the Kara Sea, Amderma is a remote port that serves the small village it supports. Characterised by its polar climate, the port only operates in the summer with navigation usually lasting between the beginning of June through to the beginning of November. During these months, sea-going vessels navigate the waters, transporting cargoes to sustain the local community. The Program of Northern Delivery ensures that the village receives supplies, including chemicals, diesel fuel, equipment, and food. The process is orchestrated through STS locations in which sea-going vessels unload cargoes onto barges and pontoons within the anchorage area.

Amderma port is situated on the Yugorskiy peninsular in the southern part of the Kara Sea, Russia.

Max offshore LOA 118.92m, draught 3.4m and 3,345DWT.

Anchorage may be taken off Amderma during winds from SE through S to SW. In the event that the wind shifts onshore then all vessels are recommended to leave this anchorage and proceed to the anchorage in Proliv Morozova. Local knowledge is required.

Seagoing vessels anchor offshore in the STS zone, from there a sandy spit separates the lagoon, which is accessible only by small craft. The depths lying seaward of this spit gradually decease from 11m (approx 0.8nm offshore) to 5.5m (0.2nm offshore). Local knowledge is required.

Approx 0.8nm NE off the entrance to the lagoon at Amderma lie two large rocks which are awash. Numerous wrecks are strewn across the lagoon, in close vicinity to the town of Amderma. Numerous pontoons are located 0.8 and 1.1nm NW of Amderma Lighted Beacon, in depths of 5.2m and 8.0m.

The port is hampered by severe weather and as a result it only operates during the summer season, from Jun through to Nov. Ice forms in Nov-Dec and thickness by the end of winter can range between 140-160cm. It has been reported that clearance of the ice occurs on average at the beginning of Aug.
