Zonguldak (TRZON)

Zonguldak Port, situated on Turkey's Black Sea coast, plays a vital role in regional maritime trade and industry. Its primary function is the export of coal from the nearby Eregli coalfields, supporting the country’s mining sector. In addition to handling bulk and general cargo, the port features regular passenger and ro-ro ferry services, enhancing connectivity within the Black Sea region.

Summer.

Zonguldak is situated on the Black Sea coast, approx 330km E of Istanbul.

LOA 175.08m, beam 24.4m, 28,000DWT.

Anchorage available NNW of inner harbour in depths of about 24.0m, sand and mud. The outer port is a free anchorage area for ships. Vessels carrying explosives and flammable material are required to anchor at least 0.1nm offshore in the outer harbour, E of a line drawn N from the head of Kuzey Mendirek. Prohibited anchorage: Located in an area extending 0.65nm W from the harbour entrance.

Outer harbour: From a position WNW of Zonguldak Burnu Light, the approach to the outer harbour leads SE through waters clear of charted dangers. From the outer anchorage the alignment 080.25° of the leading light beacons, situated on the E shore of the inner harbour, leads through the breakwater entrance into the inner harbour. The harbour is protected by 2 breakwaters, totalling 1,100m in length, limiting the entrance width to 135m. There is turning cirle of 400m diameter, depth 9.0m. Caution: The effects of silting, resulting from the flow of the Uzulmez Deresi into the SE corner of the inner harbour makes constant dredging necessary.
