VIII. Rules of Vessels Anchoring Including Coordinates of Places for Anchorages in the Roadstead, Mooring and Unmooring Rules

8.1. Vessels Anchoring in the Roadstead (Annex 7, Annex 8)

8.1.1. Vessels anchoring in the roadstead is carried out in the anchorage areas of the Kherson Sea Port (Annex 7, Annex 8).Vessels anchoring at anchorages should be carried out so that the hull does not spread beyond the anchorage area limits.8.1.2. Vessel anchoring or change of anchorage are performed on the basis of a schedule of vessels arrangement and traffic

in the Kherson Sea Port, which is approved by the Main Dispatch Office of the Kherson Sea Port Administration. If a vessel master believes that the anchorage place is dangerous, he/she must inform the Kherson Sea Port Harbour Master.

In this case, the vessel must be indicated another place that provides secure anchorage. If a safe anchorage in the Kherson Sea Port is not possible to be provided, such vessel must go beyond the Kherson Sea Port limits.

8.1.3. There are nine anchorages for vessels anchoring in the water area: - middle roadstead:No 1 Lat – 46°37’32" N Long – 32°37’28" Е – for vessel with length up to 125 m;No 2 Lat – 46°37’23" N Long – 32°37’15" Е – for vessel with length up to 125 m;No 3 Lat – 46°37’16" N Long – 32°37’02" Е – for vessel with length up to 175 m;No 9 Lat – 46°37’46" N Long – 32°37’32"Е – for short-term vessel’s mooring with length up to 100 m.

stretch of the approach channel’s leading line No 7 and left bank of the Vilkhovyi Dnipro River.8.1.4. In areas of underwater cable indicated by appropriate marks, it is forbidden to anchor, use bottom fishing gear,

conduct underwater, dredging, or blasting operations, and navigate with anchor chains veered out. 8.1.5. The Shyroke Pleso anchorage is intended for short stays of gas-free tankers and stay of vessels at low visibility or

when waiting for oncoming vessels to pass. It may also be used as a quarantine anchorage.8.1.6. During operational activities of stevedore organizations related to the loading/unloading of cargo in the sea port water area:

- responsibility for safe stay of vessels at anchorages rests with the Kherson Sea Port Administration; - responsibility for processing of vessels by stevedore organizations rests with the performer of works. Anchoring of floating cranes, lighters, barges, grain loaders, and other floating craft in the roadstead for cargo handling and other operations must be agreed with the Kherson Sea Port Administration’s Main Dispatch Office and HMO.8.1.7. When anchoring a vessel with a length of over 170 m at anchorage No 3, the length of the vessel and its anchor chain

must be considered to determine the exact swinging radius and avoid drifting out of the anchorage.The master of such a vessel, for the purpose of ensuring reliable anchorage in case of unfavourable hydrometeorological

conditions, should request tug assistance, which is provided at the expense of the shipowner and will involve tugs defined by the Kherson Sea Port Administration’s Main Dispatch Office. When staying at anchor, such vessels should organize an underway bridge watch and permanent communication with the HMO on VHF (channels 16/14).

8.1.8. Raising of lights that can be taken for navigation lights is not allowed on ships and other floating objects.At night a regular external lighting should be turned on an anchored ship.The vessel in the roads with anchors wound from the stern except for lights and signs provided in COLREG-72, should bear

a white light at night time, and in the daytime – a red flag, lowered from the stern near the anchor chain at half the height of the vessel freeboard.

8.1.9. When anchoring non-self-propelled craft or vessels with faulty anchor devices and/or main engines, tow support of such craft or vessels should ensure their secure anchoring and a safe withdrawal of craft or vessels from the sea port or anchoring them to a berth, or another anchorage in case of dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena.

8.1.10. In order to obtain permission to anchor a vessel at anchorages of the Kherson Sea Port and to unmoor it, the shipowner having a contract with the Kherson Sea Port Administration or a marine agent who represents his/her interests in the port, should submit in advance to the Main Dispatch Office an application for anchoring the vessel at an anchorage or unmooring. During the vessel’s approach, the vessel master should ask the HMO for permission to anchor at the sea port anchorage. The application for anchoring or unmooring must contain basic information about the tactical characteristics of

25

the vessel, the purpose of entry to the Kherson Sea Port or its water area (waiting for berthing, cargo handling operations in the roadstead, towing, repair, maintenance, waiting for transit passage, replacement of crew, etc.). If the purpose is planned operations it the port roadstead (other than waiting for berthing), the information in the application must include data about anticipated terms of the specified operations, and after that the vessel’s arrival must be registered by HMO.

In the absence of permission from the Kherson Sea Port Administration’s Main Dispatch Office for entering the Kherson Sea Port’s water area, the vessel’s arrival/departure is prohibited.

8.1.11. During a vessel anchoring at anchoring berths within the waters of the Kherson Sea Port, corresponding port charges are charged as stipulated by the order of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine dd. May 27, 2013 No. 316 "On Port Charges", registered in the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine on June 12, 2013 under number 930/23462.

Mooring places (berth number, mooring side, anchoring) must be defined: - for all vessels other than passenger and injured vessels – the Kherson Sea Port Administration, by agreement with the HMO; - for passenger vessels – the head of the passenger terminal, by agreement with the Kherson Sea Port Administration and HMO; - mooring places for tankers must be marked by the Oil Harbour’s dispatcher according to the arrangement of ship receivers. “Positions” of vessels must be agreed with a sea pilot via a radio station.8.2.1.17. In the Kherson Sea Port, vessels should moor port side. Mooring at berths of marine terminals must be conducted upstream. In case of operational necessity, the mooring side may be changed by permission of the Kherson Sea Port’s Harbour Master

and by agreement with the vessel master, at a current speed of up to 0.5 knots and wind speed of up to 10 m/s. Throughout the whole length of a berth where a mooring operation takes place, shore portal cranes must be removed or

positioned in front of the vessel’s center, with derricks extended opposite to the berth’s edge. The free length of a berth used for mooring must be at least 120 % the maximum length of the mooring vessel. By day, the

mooring place must be marked by two (fore and aft) red flags; by night, it must be marked by lanterns. If such signals are not shown, a berth is considered unprepared for mooring.

8.2.2. Mooring Operations with Vessels Having Maximum Size for Berths of Kherson Sea Port

8.2.2.1. Mooring/unmooring of vessels with a length of 200 to 230 m and sufficient draught to ensure navigation safety to/from berths may be conducted on the following conditions:

- adequate tug assistance; - wind speed must not exceed 10 m/s; - visibility of at least 1000 m.8.2.2.2. Mooring/unmooring of tankers with a length of 180 to 200 m to/from berths of the Oil Harbour may be conducted

on the following conditions: - wind speed must not exceed 10 m/s; - visibility of at least 1000 m; - berths Nos 2, 3, 4 must be free of floating craft/vessels.8.2.2.3. When mooring/unmooring vessels with a length of 200 to 230 m and width of 32 m to/from berths, the

recommendations below must be followed: - maneuvers must be performed step-by-step, with slow turns; - avoid strong regulating actions from the propeller and thruster; - pilotage should be conducted by three tugs: one escort tug and two formation tugs. The stern tug must reduce yaw when the vessels is keeping its course and assist in making turns;

- when passing through the water area, an auxiliary tug should be used to prevent wind drift at a wind speed of over 5 m/s; - to moor alongside a berth, vessels should approach the berthage with a speed of not more than 0.08 m/s.Under these conditions, throughout the water area of the maneuvering zone, passage is allowed for vessels whose Tmax

draught = 7.60 m.8.2.2.4. Mooring of tankers at berth No 10 is defined by regulations and schemes approved by the head of the Oil Loading

Terminal, in consultation with the Harbour Master and by agreement of the vessel master. 8.2.2.5. If a vessel confirmed for processing exceeds the restrictions established for mooring to a berth, responsibility for

any possible consequences and/or financial losses related to such non-conformity rests with the economic agent confirming and processing the vessel at the berth.

27

8.2.3. Preparation of Berths for Mooring

8.2.3.1. Persons responsible for fulfilling the requirements concerning the preparation of berths for the approach or departure of vessels include:

- the responsible member of the enterprise conducting CHO at berths on a contractual basis (head of stevedore companies or acting head of stevedore companies, dockyards, etc.);

- head of passenger terminals (or an appointed person) for berths of the passenger terminal. 8.2.3.2. When a berth is ready for mooring, the responsible member of the enterprise conducting cargo handling operations

at Kherson Sea Port’s berths on a contractual basis (dispatcher, stevedore of the stevedore company, etc.) should inform the Kherson Sea Port Administration Main Dispatch Office. Thereupon the Kherson Sea Port Administration Main Dispatch Office dispatcher should notify the pilot and define the time when the vessel is to weigh anchor and berth.

In each case before boarding the vessel, the sea pilot should make sure that the berth is ready before commencing mooring operations and report the results to the Kherson Sea Port Administration’s Main Dispatch Office and HMO on-duty captain.

Small-tonnage vessels (tugs and launches), as well as pilot launches, may conduct mooring operations without a sea pilot. Therefore, when approaching a berth, masters (watch officers) of such vessels should examine the readiness of the berth for mooring themselves.

8.2.3.3. If a sea pilot has departed for a vessel and the berth has turned out to be unprepared for receiving the vessel due to certain reasons, an HMO representative should notify the sea pilot and Kherson Sea Port Administration’s Main Dispatch Office. In all such cases, sea pilots draw up a Report on Violation of Compulsory Regulations. Under these circumstances, the actual work time of the sea pilot and tugs must be paid for (according to the tariffs approved by the company (enterprise) providing tug assistance services) by the party responsible for the unpreparedness of the berth (except in cases when hydrometeorological conditions worthen after tugs leave the base berth for the place of operations, which does not allow to conduct the mooring operation safely).

8.2.3.4. Vessels with another vessel mooring or unmooring alongside should suspend cargo handling operations and ensure no persons are moving on its decks during mooring/unmooring operations other than those involved in them.

8.2.4. Approaching to Berths and Mooring

8.2.4.1. When mooring, unmooring, or shifting a vessel, a representative of the enterprise conducting cargo handling operations at Kherson Sea Port’s berths on a contractual basis and a representative of the HMO with a portable VHF radio station for communication with the HMO and sea pilot onboard are present on the berth.

Small vessels of the USPA, including the service and auxiliary fleet of the Kherson Sea Port, and pilot launches should conduct mooring operations without a sea pilot and tugs. In such case, the presence of the HMO and enterprise’s representatives is not required or stipulated.

8.2.4.2. During mooring operations (mooring and unmooring), mooring line must be picked up and cast off by the mooring crew of the enterprise providing mooring services in the port, regardless of the purpose of mooring in the dry cargo port.

The mooring crew should be requested by the sea pilot via the Kherson Sea Port Administration’s Main Dispatch Office 45 minutes before the commencement of mooring operations.

Under normal circumstances (according to the general procedure), small vessels of the USPA, including the service and auxiliary fleet of the Kherson Sea Port, and pilot launches may conduct mooring operations without a mooring crew. If, for some reason, such vessels require assistance of a mooring crew, masters (watch officers) of these vessels must request them via the Kherson Sea Port Administration’s Main Dispatch Office 45 minutes before the commencement of mooring operations with the specified small vessel. Mooring crews are sent by the dispatcher service of the entity on whose balance sheet the berth is recorded.

8.2.4.3. For the safer mooring of tankers to berths of the Oil Harbour, in case of difficult meteorological conditions, the anchor may be dropped, which must be weighed and drawn into the hawsehole after completing mooring operations and before commencing cargo handling operations.

8.2.4.4. Any claims concerning vessel damage during mooring or cargo handling operations must be submitted by vessel masters to the Kherson Sea Port’s Harbour Master within 8 hours after the accident has taken place. If a vessel is to depart from the port earlier, claims must be submitted prior to departure; otherwise, the Kherson Sea Port Administration does not accept any claims or bear responsibility for the damage.

8.2.4.5. In the Kherson Sea Port, it is forbidden: - to moor more than 3 vessels alongside each other; - to moor vessels with unserviceable main engines or steering/anchor gear to berths or alongside other vessels.In case of operational necessity and depending on the vessel’s size and state, hydrometeorological conditions and provided

Table of ICS Signals

The International Code of Signals or INTERCO (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Code’) is designed for communication by different methods and means to ensure navigational safety and safety of life at sea, particularly in cases of language difficulties. In developing the Code, it was taken into account that broad use of radiotelephone and radiotelegraph allows simple and efficient communication in plain language whenever language difficulties do not exist.

Signals included in the Code consist of:1. Single-letter signals for emergency, significant, or frequently used messages;2. Two-letter signals for General Signal Code;3. Three-letter signals beginning with ‘M’ for Medical Signal Code. Each signal of the Code has a complete meaning. This principle is followed throughout the code; in certain cases, digital

complements are used to complement the meaning of a basic signal. ICS signals and lights most frequently used in the port:
