Okhotsk (RUOHO)

The port consists of an outer roadstead (Okhotskiy Reyd) and the inner port (on left bank of Reka Kukhtuy), the primary activity is fishing. Ice closes the port in winter.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter 1 Nov-31 Mar, Summer 1 Apr-31 Oct.

The port of Okhotsk is also known as Okhotskiy Morsky Rybnyy. It lies in the estuary of the River Kukhtuy, on the N coast of Sea of Okhotsk.

Vessels with a draught of more than 3.0m can only enter and depart at HW. At this time quays in the inner port can be reached by vessels with a draught up to 4.0m.

Anchorage is permitted anywhere in Okhotsk Roadstead, but as near as possible to the entrance of Reka Kukhtuy, a vessel should anchor in 7.0m, fine sand with the entrance of the river bearing 335° range 1.25nm. With strong offshore winds vessels should anchor 0.75nm farther seaward in a depth of 11.0m with the river entrance bearing 335°. A quarantine anchorage is situated 5nm ESE of the river entrance. Note: During gales from seaward all anchorages are untenable.

Non Russian vessels must use Fairway No 24 which commences in position 59° 8.0'N 143°9.5'E, 11nm S of the entrance to Reka Kukhtuy. The fairway has a width of 1.7nm. A reciprocal track must be adopted for departure.

Compulsory for all vessels. Available 24 hours. Request for pilot should be sent 72, 48 and 4 hours in advance via the Marine Superintendent to the Port Captain. Pilot boards in the outer roadstead in a circle of radius 0.5nm centred on position 59°19.0'N 143°10.5'E.

The port limits are defined by the meridians of 143°0.5'E and 143°18'E and to the S a line joining 59°17.9'N 143°0.5'E and 59°18.7'N 143°18'E.

There is a coast radar station which, in conditions of reduced visability or when other aids to navigation are inoperative, provides radar pilotage in the estuary of Reka Kukhtuy under the direction of the embarked pilot.

Caution: In summer fishing nets may extend up to 1nm S from Tumgusskaya Kosa.

Mean spring range 3.3m; mean neap range 1.5m.

N'ly winds prevail from Nov-Mar and S and SE'ly winds often prevail in the summer. Fog occurs mostly from May to Aug. There is always a swell in the roadstead and gales from seaward raise a very heavy sea.
