SPECIALIZED SEA PORT "OKTYABRSK"
The specialized sea port of Oktyabrsk was founded in 1965, 25 km
from the city of Nikolayev, on the left shore of the Dnepro-Bugsky
estuary. The port is open to foreign flagships.
Port regulations and navigational information
General information
 All
ships coming in from sea as well as those about to go to sea should
submit their orders for passing along the Bugsko-Dneprovsko-Limansky
Channel (BDLC), together with information about the ship's readiness
for leaving port to the Harbour Master and state company DELTA PILOT
via the agents of Agency firms. Permission to pass through BDLC
is granted by DELTA PILOT Executive Center via the Central Vessel
Traffic Control, Russkaya kosa, on the grounds of the Harbour Master's
decision to accommodate the vessel; and his decision that it is
ready to leave port.
Directions for vessels'
navigational maneuvers are given out via:
Vessel Traffic Control (VTC) Ochakov: for vessels entering BDLC;
Central Vessel Traffic Control (CVTC) Russkaya kosa: for vessels
leaving the port.
The operational area of VTC Ochakov starts from the eastern line
of Port Yuzhniy's VTC area, continues along the recommended route
No. 1, and finishes near buoy No. 33 in the 5th bend of BDLC.
Pilotage
Pilotage in BDLC and pilot service while mooring in the port is
compulsory. Taking on and leaving off port pilots is performed in
the area of anchorage No. 363. Taking on and leaving off a pilot
is also performed at the Cape of Adjiyask. To call a liner pilot,
vessels proceeding from sea should submit their order 48 hours before
approaching the port; repeat it 24 hours before; and confirm it
6 hours before approaching the port. The order should contain data
about the ship's maximum length and draft. To obtain a pilot for
the vessel from Port Oktyabrsk, the Shipmaster should submit his
order to the Port Operator 8 hours in advance, and then confirm
it 2 hours in avance.
To call for a port pilot, the Shipmaster submits his order via the
Port Operator 2 hours prior to undertaking mooring operations. The
pilot and tugboats are sent to a ship only after the Shipmaster
has confirmed the ship's readiness for mooring operations.
Tug assistance
Mooring operations in Port Oktyabrsk must be performed with the
help of tugboats, the number and power of which is determined by
the Shipmaster in consultation with a port pilot. When an order
for tugs has not been submitted, the port Pilot takes his own decision
as to the number and power capacity of the tugs, and the Shipmaster
has no right to reject the recommended service.
Mooring operations of ocean-going vessels in the port are not operative
when the wind force is 6 by Beaufort scale and more.
Anchorage
Anchorage no.363 is for the use of all ships. Vessels in roadstead
are provided with a cutter for
shore connection.
Policy on Staying in Port
Every Shipmaster must undergo an instructions procedure (on board
the ship) with the Port Police officer on duty, which fact is entered
into a special logbook; then he informs the crew members, families
and other people aboard about the requirements. Cargo berths are
made ready for mooring and shifting in accordance with the Port
Operator's instructions. The free length of the berth with regards
to the ship's length is taken into consideration as the distance
between ships should be 10-25 m.
