Harnosand (SEHND)

Harnosand is one of the best natural harbours in Sweden allowing any size of vessel to enter. It is close to the sea, has a good depth of water and well expanded quays. Harnosand is near an extensive industrial area in the middle of the Norrland coastline.In addition to the main harbour, there are the privately owned ports along the River Amgermanalven of Bollsta, Vaja, Lugnvik and Utansjo. Exports: Timber products and ferric oxide. Imports: Dry bulk goods, oils, asphalt and sulphuric acid.

Summer Zone for ships over 100m in length and Winter Zone for ships of 100m or less in length. Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Harnosand is situated on the E coast of Sweden in the Gulf of Bothnia.

Max draught at liquid bulk port is 10.5m. Largest vessel handled: "Sea Cross", 45,000DWT, tanker, 10.5m draught.

Approx 120 vessels visit the port and over 1,000,000t of cargo handled by the district annually.

The roadstead N of the town has depths of 14-45m, bottom clay. Vessels must anchor SW of the peninsula of Vagnon (62°39.7'N 017°58.5'E), having regard to a power cable crossing the sound 0.2nm S of Oljekajen (62°38.7'N 17°56.6'E). An anchorage, Area D, is established in the outer part of Alandsfjarden (62° 40.3'N 17°52.0'E) centred on position 62°40.0'N 017°55.5'E. Prohibited anchorage: Anchoring is prohibited within 0.05nm either side of an outfall pipe, which extends out from a purification plant, situated 0.5nm S of Harnosand harbour, on the W shore of the island of Harnon; its direction is marked ashore.

The port approach is 4nm wide, free from obstructions and depths vary from 40-80m all the way to the roadstead. The N part of the port of Harnosand is approached through Stora Inlopp and entered between Murbergsudden (62°39.2'N 017°56.1'E) on the mainland and Harnosands Hamn Light standing on the N end of Harnon. Vessels bound for the S part of the port enter through Sodrasundet. The maximum authorised draught in the fairway from N of Harnon to Djuphamnen is 7.7m. The N and S harbours of Harnosand are linked by a waterway which is divided into two canals in its S part by the island of Mellanholmen. The two canals are named Vastra Kanalen and Ostra Kanalen. There are bascule bridges across both waterways, see restrictions. Ostra Kanalen is only suitable for small boats.

1000.

Compulsory for all vessels over 100m in length or 17m beam, ordered through VTS Gavle and available from Sundsvall pilot station. Constant watch is kept at Spikarna (62°22.0'N 017°32.0'E) with a lookout station on Skorven, an islet close off the SE point of Alnon. Pilots are available throughout 24 hours. Pilots meet vessels 2.5nm E of Gubben (62°21.0'N 017°35.0'E).

Sector and leading lights. Leading lights and other sailing marks are arranged to give safe navigation throughout 24 hours.

Government icebreakers keep the port open from Jan-Mar/Apr. Bridges: The N part of the waterway is spanned by Nybron, a bascule bridge, with a vertical clearance of 4.0m when closed and navigable width of 8.0m. Vastra Kanalen is also spanned by a bascule bridge with a vertical clearance of 2.5m when closed and navigable width of 11.5m. Ostra Kanalen is spanned by two fixed bridges in the N part, both having a vertical clearance of 3.7m, and in the S part by a fixed bridge having a clearance of 1.0m. The N-most bridge in Ostra Kanalen has a navigable width of 17m; the S bridge a width of 8m. Traffic signals are exhibited as follows: Fixed red light indicates canal is closed. Fixed green light indicates canal is open. Bascule bridges will be opened daily from May-Oct between 0900 and 1100hrs and between 1800 and 2000hrs. At other times a request must be made to the harbour master.

The sea level in the harbour varies by 1.0m above or below mean level depending partly on the time of the year. The highest water level usually occurs during autumn with S or SE winds. The lowest water level occurs during the spring with N or NW winds. Water level gauges are sited on the S side of the Djuphamnskajen, Utsprangskajen and on the W landing of Nybron.

Tug assistance is available, Tel: +46 612 12442. Ice breaking tugs are available should assistance be necessary.

Prevailing winds: Variable.
