is necessary for approximately two months.
Vessels should proceed to the harbour through the approach channel,
11 n.m. long and with a least depth of 8.2 m.
PILOTAGE: Compulsory in Azov Sea. Kerch Pilot meets vessel near the
entrance to the Kerch Strait and takes vessel to Berdyansk. Berdyansk Pilot
meets vessels with draft 6.0 m. or more at Reception Buoy
No. 2 (Lat. 46 36.73' N, Long. 036 36.04' E), and vessels with draft less

ANCHORAGES: Vessels may obtain good anchorage with depths up to
7.90 m. in the port of Berdyansk outer roads situated on both sides of the
approach channel leading into the harbour.
The outer roads are well protected from northerly winds, but during

At time of strong SW swell, ships in the outer roads are usually affected
by heavy pitching and rolling, and plenty of cable should be paid out on both
anchors. Holding ground in outer roads is shell and mud.
