Berdyansk (UAERD)

Inner roads and port facilities are protected from the S and SE winds by a mole and a breakwater. The harbour has 2 basins the Western and the Eastern basins, with 9 berths which handle different kinds of cargo, scrap metal and metal products, mainly for export. Other types of cargo include; ore, coal, chemical and mineral building goods, grain, food oil and light oil. Also a special oil transfer complex. Open all year round, with help from ice-breakers for 2 months in winter.

Summer Zone, Seasonal winter (Winter Dec 1 to Feb 28/29, Summer Mar 1 to Nov 30) for all vessels. Ice Class Certificate and main engine power of not less than 5,000hp are advisable for vessels during winter navigation.

Berdyansk is situated in the NE of Sea of Azov, a bay on the N coast of Azovskoye.

LOA 205m, beam 25.60m, draught 7.9m, 26,264DWT.

Approx 2,400,000t of cargo handled annually.

Anchorage is available for vessels of 6.0m draught or greater in the outer roads on both sides of the approach channel near Lightbuoy No 2 (46°36.7'N 036° 36.0'E). For vessels of lesser draught the outer roads on both sides of the approach channel near Lightbuoy No 10 (46°40.0'N 036°40.1'E). Anchorage in the Eastern and Western basins is prohibited. The outer roads are well protected from N'ly winds, but S and SW'ly winds can give rise to adverse conditions. During times of strong SW'ly swell, ships in the outer roads can be prone to heavy pitching and rolling. It is advisable to pay out plenty of cable on both anchors. Holding ground is shell and mud.

Port of Berdyansk outer road is approached by recommended routes Nos 55 and 56 and then by a buoyed entrance channel. Route No 55 is for the use of vessels with a draught of 6.0m or more. Route No 56 is for vessels with less than 6.0m draught. Traffic in the approach channel is one-way. Vessels departing the port have precedence over those entering the approach channel from the sea. Caution: Due to silting in the port and its entrance channel, depths may be less than charted.

BA 3302, 2214. Admiralty Pilot NP24, NP286(3).

1006-1008.

Compulsory. Two hours notice is required by pilots. Pilotage available 24 hours, except in periods of dense fog and strong winds over 30kts. Vessels more than 170m LOA, and wind less than 15kts daytime pilotage only. Vessel manoeuvring operations in winds of more than 15kts at pilot's discretion. The pilot is embarked at the beginning of the approach channel, Reception Buoy 2 (46°36.7'N 036°36.0'E), for vessels with a draught of more than 6.0m and near Lightbuoy No 10 (46°40.0'N 036°40.1'E) for vessels with a draught of less than 6.0m. The pilot will only embark if vessel ballast quantity is sufficient to maintain stability in order to proceed through the approach channel and during mooring operations.

The port area consists of the outer roadstead, approach channel and Berdyansk Harbour.

At least 0.3m under keel clearance at LW. Max speed 6kts. Movement prohibited in restricted visibility. Vessels of 170m in length are handled in daylight only; otherwise no restrictions. Traffic in the entrance channel is one-way only with vessels leaving the port having precedence over those arriving.

The water level is dependent on the wind direction. Prolonged NE and N winds lower the water level in the bay and S and SW winds raise it. The maximum fall in level is 0.5m and the maximum rise is 1.0m.

A Traffic Separation zone leads to the approaches.

Compulsory during berthing and unberthing and during shifting alongside the pier over a distance more than 50m. Vessels of 1,500GT and greater must be moored using at least 2 tugs. Vessel's lines usually used. There are 3 tugs available, with a capacity of 1,200-1,600hp.

Prevailing winds: NE'ly. Fog is experienced on average 30-35 days per year. Ice: All year round navigation possible, but ice-breaker assistance is available if required. Currents: Usually weak and dependant on the wind. They do not exceed 1kt.
