Other vessels can enter at any time during day or night.

Navigation through Kerch Strait is controlled by a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS Kerch Radio). Callsign "Kerch Radio 4" on VHF Ch 14. The VTS operational area covers the Kerch Strait and the Sea of Azov, approaches to port Kerch, and the pilot boarding positions for the ports of Kerch, Mariupol and Berdyansk. Kerch Traffic Control is divided into three sectors: ..... Sector Area VHF Ch S approaches to Kerch Strait 16nm from Mys Takyl' (45°06.0'N 036°27.2'E) 67, 71 N approaches to Kerch Strait 16nm from Mys Khrony (45°26.4'N 036°34.6'E) 67, 71 Kerch Strait Between Mys Takyl' and Varzovskiy Lt buoy (45°27.2'N 036°41.6'E) 14, 71 Description: The VTS provides the following services: ..... 1. Automatic surveillance and tracking of vessels arriving and transiting the Kerch VTS area. 2. Automatic determination of arrival time at the appropriate port. 3. Automatic continuous tracking and monitoring position, course and speed for all vessels in the Kerch VTS area. 4. Instantaneous information and recommendations concerning safety of navigation. 5. Compilation of database for vessels information, navigation rules, traffic flow and navigation reports. 6. Further information on request. Procedure: ..... 1. Participation in the VTS is mandatory for all vessels. 2. Notice of ETA: Vessels should send an initial report to the VTS via agents 48 hours and 24 hours in advance, confirming 4 hours before approach to Kerch Strait. 3. Vessels leaving a port less than 48 hours distant should send their initial report 2 hours after departure. 4. Changes of ETA must be advised no later than 2 hours before approach to Kerch Strait. 5. Vessels should contact Kerch Traffic Control on VHF Ch 67 when within range, stating the following: a) Vessels name (including previous names) b) Type of vessel and condition (loaded or otherwise) c) Name of agent and owner d) IMO No and MMSI e) Flag and port of registry f) DWT, GT and NT g) LOA, BOA and moulded depth h) Draught (forward and aft) i) Last port, destination and ETA at destination port j) Number of passengers (ferry and passenger vessels) k) Dangerous cargo onboard l) State of radar and any defects affecting the safety of navigation m) Other information as requested by the VTS 6. Permission to enter the VTS area should be obtained 30mins in advance. No vessel may enter the VTS area without permission. 7. Permission to navigate within the area should be obtained from the VTS before entering the Kerch-Yenikal Channel, during transit; permission to continue should be requested every 30mins. 8. A continuous listening watch should be maintained on VHF Ch 14 and 16 when within the VTS area. Vessels should monitor the VTS broadcasts and follow the instructions, recommendations and warnings concerning safety of navigation, life, property and the environment. Note: Vessels may also contact Kerch Traffic Control through Kerch Port Radio on VHF Ch 16. Radar Navigation Assistance: Radar navigation assistance is compulsory as follows: ..... 1. In daylight, when visibility is less than 2nm. 2. At night, when main leading lights are not visible. 3. When ordered by the Master. 4. Under special conditions advised by the VTS.

To enable vessels to turn safely from the Kerch-Yenikalskiy Channel into Port Kerch's approach channel, and vice-versa when leaving the port, tug assistance is compulsory.

Prevailing NE winds throughout most of the year, SW winds during the daytime in summer. Fog can frequently be experienced in spring, especially during May. In case of ice conditions (from mid-December until early March) navigation is maintained with the assistance of icebreakers.
