St Petersburg (RULED)

The port is open all year round for ice class vessels, with the help of icebreakers from Nov to Mar. Considerable variations in the water level may be experienced due to prevailing winds. The port handles a range of cargoes including bulk, general cargo, containers, diesel, fuel oil, petroleum products, bunkering, Ro-Ro and passengers.

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

The Baltic Sea port of St Petersburg, formerly called Leningrad, is situated on the islands of the Neva Delta, at the head of Neva Bay.

LOA 333.33m, draught 11.0m, beam 43.0m, 115,577DWT.

Approx 49,600,000t of cargo(including 117,000t of grain) and 2,000,000TEU are handled annually.

Waiting area and anchorage: Waiting Area No 4. Vessels approaching the port from seaward should anchor at the St Petersburg Pilot Lightbuoy (60°02'N 029° 26'E). The depths in the roads range from 20.0-25.00m and the holding ground is mud and sand. Waiting area No 4a, with a radius of 0.3nm and centred at 60°01.1'N 029° 23.3'E, is established 1.5nm WSW of the Pilot Lightbuoy. Other authorised anchorages in the outer approaches are No 5a, centred 4.7nm NNW of the Pilot Lightbuoy, and No 5, 2nm farther NW. Four mooring buoys are laid in the E part of No 5a. Approximate positions of buoys in 5a as follows: 60°05.3'N 029°19.5''E 60°06.7'N 029°19.5''E 60°06.7'N 029°25.15'E 60°05.3'N 029°25.15'E.

Ocean going vessels approach through Morskoy Channel and between two sea walls at the S entrance to Sankt Peterburg. The Korabel'nyy Kanal permits entry to Bol'shaya Neva and Petrovskiy Kanal to Reka Malaya Nevka and Reka Malaya Neva. The port is connected to the sea by the St Petersburg Morskoi Channel which is approx 15nm in length and leads to the entrance of the port. At the narrowest point between the sea walls, there is a bottom width of 80m and least depth 11.6m. The new straight Ship Fairway from Bolshaya Neva to Petrovsky Fairway has been dredged for the Transhipment Oil Terminal, avoiding the internal port limits. There are also four natural channels across the delta of Reka Neva, N of the canal, by which small vessels can cross the bar of the river. These channels, with depths of between 2.0m and 3.0m lead directly from Nevskaya Guba into the Neva and its several branches and are marked by light beacons, lightbuoys and buoys. There is a new access channel to Vasilievsky Island Passenger Terminal, length 6.2nm, depth 11.0m.

Compulsory and available throughout 24 hours. Requests for pilotage must be sent to the Pilot Service Controller at least 24 hours in advance and confirmed 1 hour before the approach to the boundary of the appropriate port VTS or the pilot boarding positions. Vessels intending to depart from or to carry out operations within the freight areas of Gorskaya and Litke (Ostrov Kotlin), or the port of Lomonovskaya Gavan must request pilotage at least 3 hours in advance. Vessels leaving or carrying out operations within the port must request pilotage at least 2 hours in advance.

In bad weather, (winds approx 25kts), vessels may be required to follow the pilot vessel until the pilot can board. In the absence of a pilot vessel due to bad weather conditions, a vessel arriving should wait or anchor in the vicinity of the lightbuoy for further instructions. The pilot, on boarding, is to be informed of the vessel's exact draught and will then determine the movement of the vessel and the tug(s) to be employed.

On its seaward side the port of St Petersburg is bounded as follows: By a line drawn parallel with and 427m SW of Ugol'nyy Mol (59°52'N 030°12'E) and the S seawall extending into Nevskaya Guba. Then, WNW along the S side of Morskoy Kanal as far as its junction with Malvy Reyd (59°58'N 029°48'E) at Lightbuoy Nos 23 and 24. Then, ESE along the NE side of Morskoy Kanal to the head of Severnaya Damba. Then, NNE for 2nm to Nevskiy Lightbuoy (59°56'N 030°07'E). Then, E to Ostrov Vasil'evskiy.

(2) Pilot ordering: Requests for pilotage must be sent to the Port Pilot Service Controller at least 24h in advance and confirmed 1h before the approach to the boundary of the appropriate port VTS or the Pilot boarding position. (3) Vessels intending to depart from or to carry out operations within the freight areas of Gorskaya and Litke (Ostrov Kotlin), or the Port of Lomonovskaya Gavan' must request pilotage at least 3h in advance. (4) Vessels intending to depart from Saint Petersburg or to carry out operations within the port must request pilotage at least 2h in advance. (5) In bad weather, vessels may be required to follow the PV until Pilot can board. (6) Pilot boards in the following positions: (a) Near Sankt Peterburgskiy Lt buoy (60°01·59N 29°25·88E) (b) Near Lt buoy No 2 (60°05·18N 29°48·03E) ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICE AREA: (1) Coastal VTS: The Coastal VTS covers the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland from the eastern boundary of the Gulf of Finland Ship Reporting System (GOFREP) within the Russian territorial limits, excluding the areas covered by individual port VTS Centres. The area is divided into two sectors: (a) Sector 1 (W of longitude 28°00·00E) (b) Sector 2 (E of longitude 28°00·00E) (2) Saint Petersburg Port VTS: The VTS Centre controls traffic from Lt buoy No 13 (60°01·88N 29°12·20E) to Zolotyye Vorota.
