Vessels must have permission to anchor granted by the VTS. Several designated anchorage area exist, both W of the harbor in Amurskiy Zaliv and outside the harbor E of Proliv Bosfor Vostochnyy. Anchoring is prohibited in the harbor and many other areas as best seen on the chart. The area designated in Amurskiy Zaliv is not for any vessels bound for Vladivostok harbor ince entry to the harbor through Proliv Bosfor Vostochnyy is prohibited. This anchorage is only for tankers bound for the oil terminal at Pervaya Rechka Pier (4309'N, 131°54'E), in depths of 13 to 16m, and is bounded by lines joining the following positions: a. 43°04'00"N, 13145'25"E. b. 43°04'23"N, 131°46'07E. b. 43°04'18"N, 131°47'09"E. d. 43°03'28"N, 131°46'26"E. For vessels bound for the commercial and fishing berths in the harbor, the designated area for anchoring is 175-A, in depths of 28 to 33m, mud, good holding.

The depths in the approaches to the Inner Roads average 20.0 - 33m, navigable for vessels up to a max draught of 19.0m, max draught alongside commercial berths is 12.6m. Vladivostok is approached through the traffic separation scheme that has been established in Zaliv Petra Velikogo. The approach position for the port from the SW is 41°39'N 131°36'E. From this position vessels proceed NE, within the separation scheme, until reaching Ussuriyskiy Zaliv at the E end of Poliv Bosfor Vostochnyy. The strait leads between the N end of Puluostrov Sapernyy (43°03'N 131°54'E) and the S end of Poluostrov Murav'yev Amerskiy to the harbour entrance. Fairways have been established at each end of Poliv Bosfor Vostochnyy and S part of Bukhta Zolotoy Roz. Western approach and entry: From Zaliv Amurskiy, Vladivostok is approached through Koshka Tokarevskogo Fairway and entered through Bukhta Zolotoy Rog. Eastern approach and entry: From Zaliv Ussuriyskiy Vladivostok is approached through Proliv Bosfor Vostochnyy and entered through Bukhta Zolotoy Rog.

At any time of the year the pilot boarding area can be changed as agreed upon by the pilot, depending on the actual prevailing environmental conditions. Pilotage is also compulsory for mooring, shifting berths, and any movement along the quays that is needed. The use of tugs is compulsory for all operations which require a pilot. Tugs will normally join the vessel near the Fairway Buoy.

The port is divided into the Inner Roads, the Western Outer and Eastern Outer Roads. E limit of port area is the line from: 43°04.20'N 131°57.80'E to 43°04.20'N 132°00.40'E, then 43°02.37'N 132°00.40'E, then Skryplev Island then to Karazin Cape. Western port limit is the line between Firsov Cape and Ushi Islet.

The mean annual temperature for Vladivostok is 4.4°C. The coldest month is January which has a mean daily temperature of -13.9°C. The warmest month is August with a mean daily temperature of 20.6°C. A minimum temperature of -30.0° C was recorded in the month of January. Proliv Bosfor Vostochnyy begins to freeze in January, first in its NW part. The ice, advancing gradually, ordinarily reaches Ostrov Skrypleva by the middle of this month. The breaking of the ice occurs in the reverse order, clearing the E half of the strait by the middle of March and entire strait, as a rule, by the end of this month. Near the e entrance the ice, being exposed to the action of the swell, is more or less confined to the shores and navigation is, as a rule, maintained throughout the winter with the aid of ice breakers. The ice in Bukhta Zolotoy Rog sometimes attains a thickness of 0.8m at its head.
