Moskalvo (RUMVO)

It is the only port in the N of Ostrov Sakhalin with facilities suitable for ocean going vessels. The primary activity is the export of crude oil from the Okha Oil Fields, delivered to the port by pipeline. The port also handles supplies and equipment for the drilling rigs.

North Pacific Winter Seasonal Zone I. Winter 16 Oct-15 Apr, Summer 16 Apr-15 Oct. The port is only accessible from early June to early November

Moskalvo port is situated on the N coast of Sakhalin Island, in Sakhalin Bay, Russia Far East.

LOA 120m (110m in Regulations), draught 6.0m, though up to 6.5m is permitted, 7,000DWT.

Available in Anchorage No 357. Temporary anchorage can be obtained in 9.0m, 0.25nm S of the Moskal'vo Lightbuoy, or in 13.0m, sand, 0.25nm N of it. Large vessels unable to go alongside have anchored in the vicinity of Moskalvo Lightbuoy and loaded from barges but the area is untenable in strong NW winds.

The approach is through the E entrance, with least depth of 7.0m on the outer alignment of the leading beacons. Local knowledge is necessary for the W channel, least depth of 3.4m over the bar, as it is unmarked and liable to shift.

Russian Charts 65136, 68136. Admirlity Pilot NP43, NP286(6).

Compulsory. Request for pilot and confirmation of ETA should be sent at least 4 hours prior to arrival at Lightbuoy No 1 (53°40.7'N 142°22.8'E). Pilot boards in the vicinity of Lightbuoy No 1 (53°40.7'N 142°22.8'E). Vessels will be berthed day and night if the visibility is good.

Zaliv Baykal first rear Leading Light (white round metal tower, black stripe, 35m in height).

Submarine pipeline: A submarine pipeline is laid across Zaliv Baykal through Russian Regulated Area No 43 between Moskal'vo and Mys Vnutrenniy.

In the two entrance channels the tidal streams have a max rate of 2.5kts. The ingoing stream commences just after LW and continues until HW. The outgoing stream does the opposite.

The best months are Jun, Jul and Aug when winds are not severe and fog is minimal. In autumn NW winds often reach hurricane force and are dangerous for vessels alongside. Ice: Ice appears in the latter part of Oct or early Nov when navigation usually ceases. By mid Nov when navigation ice floes are being carried in and out by the tides and prevent approach to the port. The port remains closed until early Jun.
