Nevelsk (RUNEV)

The port harbour is protected by a breakwater built on Naga reef. Vessels with draught exceeding 6.5m can be loaded or unloaded in the roadstead. Nevelsk is usually the only port on the coast of Ostrov Sakhalin to remain ice free throughout the year. Imports: Rice, mineral oil and coal. Exports: Timber, fish oil and cod.

Summer zone for ships over 100m in length and Winter Seasonal Area for ships of 100m or less in length. Winter Dec 1 to Feb 28/29, Summer Mar 1 to Nov 30.

Nevelsk is located on the Tatarskiy Strait within the Nevelskoy Bay.

LOA 129.10m, draught 6.5m, beam 24.38m and 7675DWT.

Outer Anchorage: Anchorage can be obtained S of the leading line, 0.5nm SW of the S end of the N breakwater, in 20m sand, but without protection from W and N. The following positions: 1. 46°40'22''N, 141°50'14''E. 2. 46°40'22''N, 141°49'07''E. 3. 46°40'02''N, 141°49'07''E. 4. 46°40'10''N, 141°50'14''E. Anchorage farther E, where the bottom is flat stone, is not recommended. Caution is noted due to W or SW winds will can lead to the anchorage becoming dangerous and vessels are advised to put to sea.

Non Russian vessels must use the charted fairway commencing in position 46° 37.3'N 141°31.5'E, approx 14nm W of the port, on the alignment 079.2° of the leading lights. This alignment leads through the centre of the channel passing S of the breakwater and close N of Nevelsk South Lightbuoy (N cardinal) lying 200m SSE of the breakwater head.

BA 1801, 2161. Admiralty Pilot NP43, NP286(6).

Vessels mooring to the berths are given workers depending on their GT: Under 300GT = 1 worker 301GT-1500GT = 2 workers 1501GT-2500GT = 3 workers 3501-5000GT = 4 workers Exceeding 5000GT = 6 workers Vessels re-mooring and re-berthing shall commence if winds do not exceed 15 metres per second.

Compulsory and available throughout 24 hours. Pilots shall board the vessels at either 46°39.26'N, 141°49.04'E or at 46° 40.26'N, 141°49.47'E. Pilot ordering: Pilots should be requested 12 hours in advance from the Harbour Master's office through the Port Radio Station. The pilot boards in the outer roadstead (in bad weather vessels should follow the pilot vessel). Note: Signal Station regulate all vessel movements within the port.

The port consists of an outer roadstead lying within an arc of 1.5nm radius centred on the S end of the main breakwater. The inner port, the fishing port harbour, lies shoreward of the main breakwater and a line between its S end and the N end of a small breakwater 0.25nm S.

..... 1. Prominent stranded wreck, on the N end of Rif Naga, lying with bows S; from a distance the wreck may be mistaken for a vessel at anchor. 2. Yellow building with white horizontal stripes standing 0.1nm E of the leading lights. 3. Cold store building 0.4nm NW of the leading lights is reported to be prominent. 4. Building 0.92nm NNW of the leading lights. 5. Lighted buoy moored S side of the entrance to the harbour. This marks the N end of the shoals extending from the S reef

There is a depth of 5.6m on the leading line close inside the entrance; vessels of over 5.8m draught may not enter without the Harbour Master's permission. Vessels with a draught in excess of 6.5m are loaded and unloaded in the outer roadstead. The N part of the harbour has charted depths from 1.5-3.8m. As of 2014, the N breakwater (46°40'N, 141°51'E) is believed to be damaged with numerous areas being submerged. The breakwater will be rebuilt however the time frame is unknown. Between May and September, fishing nets extend 2 miles from W shore of Sakhalin Island to the S of parallel 48°. This will be marked by lighted buoys (with radar reflectors and red/orange flags). In the case of poor visibility approaching the shore is not recommended due to the risk of catching the net within the propellers and/or damaging the net itself. There are an array of rocks, obstructions and stranded wrecks which lie in the harbour and at the end of Rif Naga.

Seaward of the harbour entrance the current sets S to SE at a rate of 0.5 to 1.3kts, and with N winds may increase to 2kts. The flood stream sets N and the ebb stream S, both at a rate of 0.3kt and a tidal rise of less than 0.3m.

Available and mandatory for all vessels mooring greater than 50m LOA and 1000GT.

Winds: The prevailing wind from Mar to Oct is from E, and from Oct to Feb from N to NE. Storms are most frequent in the winter with particularly heavy storms coming from N and NW. Storms from SW, W and NW raise seas which make the anchorage dangerous. These are particularly dangerous from W, when Nevelsk cannot be used as a port of refuge. Fog: Fog which is thickest during the night and morning, is most frequent in Jun and Jul. Duration varies from a few hours to two weeks. Ice: Ice persists from Jan to mid-Mar. Field ice does not greatly develop, but there may be drift ice from the N which can form hummocks along the shore. The port itself is the only one on the coast of Ostrov Sakhalin to remain ice free throughout the year.
