Mooring and unmooring are allowed only with tug assistance. Mooring operations are carried out at a wind speed of not more than 30kts, for large vessels not more than 20kts. Mooring, shifting, unmooring is carried out with compulsory pilot's assistance. Pilotage services are not compulsory for local vessels and the port auxiliary service vessels. Mooring operations in the port are carried out with compulsory use of 2 tugs. Mooring alongside other vessels is prohibited. Bunkering vessels are moored only in daylight.

More complex ice conditions occur at Far Eastern Fleet Base berths in the S part of Silach Harbour. Mooring to these berths in ice conditions is possible with tugs of 1,200bhp available.

Pilotage is carried out in day light and is compulsory for vessels of more than 1,000GT. Pilot is requested through the Port Duty Officer or the Port State Control Inspectorate by radio telephone or telephone not later than 2 hours in advance. The pilot embarks and disembarks at the roads in the area of anchorages Berth No 1, 2, at the outer roads in the area limited by a circumference with a radius of 0.3nm from the point with co-ordinates 42°36.0'N 131°04.0'E. There is a pilot embarkation point at the outer roads for pilotage to enter the bay.

The port waters are limited by the Troitsi Bay coast line and the line connecting Cape Mikhel'son and Cape Trantzev sea side.

Depths at the inner and outer roads allow for vessels drawing up to 12.0m to stay. The port passage draught is 8.0m. The draught differs at each berth. Max speed in the port must not exceed 12kts.

There is a one-way traffic system in the fairway leading to Silach Harbour. Traffic in the port waters is regulated by the Port State Control Inspectorate.

There are 2 x 1,200bhp tugs available. Equipped with water and foam fire fighting systems. Towage at the inner roads is allowed alongside and on a towline which must not exceed LOA 100m.

Ice clearing takes place in the bay in mid March, the ice is thin and easily broken by tugs. During winter N'ly and NW'ly winds with average speeds of 8-16kts reaching 56-68kts prevail in the area. In spring S'ly and SW'ly winds with average speed of 8-18kts prevail. Max speed of W'ly and S'ly winds is 56-68kts. In summer E'ly and NE'ly winds of 68-80kts occur. The port can not provide for safe stay at the berths with gales of S'ly directions. The Troitsy Bay and the port waters are exposed to swell coming from the sea and heavy gales of S'ly directions in summer. There are low and high levels of surge in the bay which must be taken into consideration by Masters of vessels with draught exceeding the port passage draught if staying at berths. In case of a nearing cyclone (typhoon) the Master of the Port State Control Inspectorate will give a written order to Masters of vessels whose draughts exceed the port passage draught to leave for the roads immediately and they will have to sign this order. On receiving a gale warning of N'ly, W'ly and E'ly directions vessels staying at berths must increase the number of mooring ropes and keep a constant watch on them and the bitts.
