Umea (SEUME)

The port of Umea is a naturally sheltered, year-round port with unique conditions during the winter period. The port handles all types of cargoes such as general cargo, dry cargo, oil, containers and daily passenger ferries to Finland. Railway and road connections with the harbour are excellent. At the beginning of 2015, Kvarken Ports combined the ports of Umea and Vaasa (in Finland) (see separate entry) as a single joint venture.

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

Umea is situated at the head of Umeafjarden, 1nm from the fjord entrance. The port is strategically located at the naturally shortest route across the northern part of the Gulf of Bothnia and has good connections to Finland, continental Europe and the UK.

LOA 215m, beam 33m, draught 10.0m, 45,000DWT.

Approx 2,200,000t of cargo, 29,000TEU, 184,200 passengers and 800 vessels handled annually.

Anchorage may be obtained by vessels awaiting the pilot in depths of 18.0 to 25.0m, 1.5nm SE of Vaktaren Lighthouse (63°37'N 020°25'E). Anchorage may also be obtained in the N part of Bredskarssund or N of Bredskar (63°40.2'N 020°19.6'E) in depths of 14.0-18.0m, clay. Within the harbour vessels may anchor, in depths of 15.0-16.0m, clay and mud, about 0.1nm E of Langhalsudde Light (63°41.9'N 020°19.8'E). Prohibited anchorages: Cable and pipeline areas: Several submarine cables cross the harbour 0.2nm S of the Holmsund Road Bridge (63°42.7'N 020°20.5'E). An outfall pipe extends into the fairway from a point 150m N of Obbola. Anchoring is also prohibited within 150m upstream and 100m downstream of the outfall pipe.

Approach and entry: There are three navigable channels leading into Umeafjarden, all of which meet W of Fjardgrund (63°40'N 020°21'E) as listed below: South-East entrance: This is the main deepwater channel which leads NNW from Vaktaren (63°37'N 020°25'E) passing E of Storbranningen (63°38'N 020°22'E), then NW towards Bredskar (63°39.6'N 020°19.5'E) and finally N, passing close E of Bredskar to join with the other two channels 0.3nm W of Fjardgrund. The min width of the channel is 105m with a depth of 13.0m. South entrance: This channel leads N from a position about 6nm SSW of Vaktaren (63°37'N 020°25'E) to pass through Bredskarssund, which lies between Bredskar (63°39.6'N 020°19.5'E) and the SE side of Obbolaon, and then NW to join with the other channels off Fjardgrund. East entrance: From a position 6nm E of Petlandskar (63°39.4'N 020°24.0'E) this channel leads W to pass N of Petlandskar, then WNW, passing SSW of Ahallarna (63°39.8'N 020°23.0'E) and NNE of Domaldsgrundet (63°39.9'N 020° 21.1'E) before joining the other channels W of Fjardgrund.
