is provided by the port.
(3) It is prohibited to let out smoke which pollutes atmosphere.
(4) To prevent possible pollution of the port’s aquatorium it is required.

other harmful substances, the scuppers on deck to be hermetically
sealed. Under the places of pipe connections, tanks, air pipes the oil
boxes to be placed, providing data (dependable) control of these
operations in order to avoid pollution of the aquatorium. Ships
performing these operations must use (compulsory) the protecting shore
booms with payment as per tariffs.
4.3 Pumping out of clean segregated ballast waters to be effected only with
a special permission of the Sanitary authorities.
4.4 Ship’s works (chipping, painting of the hull, washing of decks, holds
and other parts of the vessel) as well as repair works to be carried out
under compulsory observance of measures excluding pollution of the
aquatorium.
4.5 Ships proceeding to Odessa port upon entering Black Sea are to change

Sea water ballast with proper entries in the ship’s log book.
(5) It is prohibited to use for cleaning the port’s aquatorium by preparations
which produce sinking of oil to the bottom or are dissolving the oil in
the water.
(6) If for some reason or other a discharge of harmful substances overboard
took place, it is necessary to advise the Harbour Master immediately
(by radio, telephone, messenger). It is also required to advise about all
pollution of the aquatorium observed from the vessel indicating the exact
location, character, dimensions, direction of movement.
(7) It is necessary to register immediately all operations with oil, oil products,
oil remainders, water containing oil and other harmful substances, as
well as actions preventing pollution mentioned in Items 4 and 6 of the
present Notification in the corresponding ship’s documents (oil record

request at any time.
(9) Owners, Masters of the vessels and other persons guilty in violation of
the Legislation of Ukraine on protection of surroundings shall bear
criminal, administrative and property responsibility.

disappears in February. After ice has formed it is often broken up by strong
winds and stormy weather. In mild winters ice has not been observed in the
bay.
Range of water level caused by winds depends on force and periods they
blow, and may reach 0.6 – 1.0 m.
Atmospheric pressure has also a direct influence on the water level
(‘‘Seish’’ effect), but is weaker than effects of the wind. The ‘‘Seish’’ may last
from a few minutes up to several days causing change of water level up to
0.58 m.
