Pilotage is to be ordered through the agent and confirmed at least 2 hours in before pilotage is due to commence via the Port Controller on VHF Ch 09. Pilots board and disembark from ships heading to Vanino Commercial Port at Point A (49°05.03'N 140°18.87'E).

The area of Vanino Bay between the lines connecting Burny Cape - Vesely Cape and Severny Cape - Yuzhny Cape is considered to be the outer channel. The area of Vanino Bay from the line connecting Severny Cape - Yuzhny Cape to the line connecting piers No 1 and No 3 is considered to be the inner channel.

Alignment of leading lights situated in Vanino town leads to the port. Lights are situated on Cape Khoy, Cape Burny, Cape Southern and on a dam near Cape Northern. .....

It is strictly prohibited to enter or leave the port or commence manoeuvring within the harbour without permission from Port Traffic Control Centre. Mooring and unmooring in the port is prohibited if wind speeds exceed 27kts. Towage of large capacity vessels is prohibited if wind speeds exceed 21kts.

Max 1.07m, min 0.04m. Annual average tide height is 0.4m. Average high tide level is 0.83m, average low tide level is 0.43m. Annual average water level is 0.63m, max 1.35m, min -0.15m. Average rate of flow in the bay is approx 0.08m/s. At high tide the flow is directed from the bay surface to the bay bottom, low tide the flow is directed to the bay.

The Limits of Vanino Port VTS are bounded by; Northern Limit: The parallel of Cape Tokee (49°09.0'N 140°21.6'E) to meridian 140°30.0'E. Southern Limit: The parallel of Cape Krasny Partizan (48°58.5'N 140°23.2'E) to meridian 140°30.0'E. Participation in the VTS is mandatory. Vessel must not enter the VTS area if VHF communications has not been established. Once inside the VTS a listening watch must be maintained on VHF Ch 14 and 16. Vessels are controlled by the Port Traffic Control Centre. Vessels approach Vanino port strictly along the leading line approaching point 49°05.5'N 140° 38.6'E, then 49°04.8'N 140°31.5'E, then according to Traffic Separation Scheme to anchorage which is appointed by the Port Traffic Control Centre. Vessels bound for Vanino Bay should, 30 mins prior to approaching the Circle Separation Zone Buoy, make contact by VHF with Port Traffic Control Centre through VHF Ch 14, callsign "Vanino-Traffic" and get permission for berthing or be given an anchorage position. It is forbidden to use VHF Ch 14 for other purposes. If no permission to enter is granted, vessels should wait for the Port Traffic Control Centre orders outside the limits of the outer roads to the N from the axis of the leading lights. When permission is granted, vessels may proceed to the appointed berth or anchorage keeping to the right of the leading line, except sector abeam of Northern Cape Dam, where inward bound ships proceed strictly along the leading line. Inbound and outbound vessels should proceed at a minimal speed, sufficient enough to keep their ability to manoeuvre. Vessels entering the port must keep out of the way of vessels leaving the port. In conditions of poor visibility, any movement of vessels with an out of service radar or without radar is forbidden. For vessels with a radar in good working condition, a one way traffic scheme is established. Departing vessels must send a Departure Report to "Vanino-Traffic" at least 30 minutes before departing berth or anchorage. When getting underway, the following information should be reported to Traffic Control on VHF Ch14; ..... a Time of getting underway b Departure berth or anchorage A final report should be sent to Vanino Traffic Control when leaving the VTS area.

Minimum number of tugs and power capacity for mooring/unmooring operations at Vanino Commercial Sea Port: .....

Minimum number of tugs and power capacity for mooring/unmooring operations at Pier 5 - Vanino Bulk Terminal: ..... Vessel DWT Tugs Total Power (hp) 20,000 - 80,000 2 7,912 80,001 - 120,000 3 10,326 120,001 and over 4 12,874 All orders for tugs should be placed with Vanino Port Controller's Office at least 1 hour before pilotage. Number of tugs required depends on vessel's particulars.

The climate is monsoon influenced with wind speeds of 7.5-13.5kts. The port averages between 1 and 7 days of poor weather a month between Oct and Apr. Ice may cover the bay from Jan-Feb and conditions in the approach may worsen. Should that occur, pilotage will be assisted by ice breakers and ice breaker tugs. The bay is open to E'ly and SE'ly winds.
