        INTRODUCTION<\/h3>\r\n

        In 1882, the State Council of Russia passed a bill assigning funds for constructing a quay on the shoreline of the city of Nikolaev, historically, the establishment of Nikolaev River Port dates back to that event.<\/p>\r\n

        The basic construction works of the port were carried out from 1965 till 1969.<\/p>\r\n

        Nikolaev River Port provides handling of scrap metal, metals, timber, coal, coke, rolled wire, iron ore concentrate, building materials, agricultural products, etc.<\/p>\r\n

        The port’s biggest cargo handling turnover was achieved in 1988. Loading and discharging operations reached 6,912,000 t, and local cargo carriage totals 3,682,000 t. The port also transferred 2,186,000 passengers.<\/p>\r\n

        PORT REGULATIONS AND NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION<\/h3>\r\n

        The article is written on the basis of the Mandatory Regulations issued for Nikolaev Merchant Sea Port and affirmed by Director General of Nikolaev MSP on 1.06.2009.<\/p>\r\n

        General Information<\/h3>\r\n

        The port’s cargo handling area is situated at: Latitude 46\u00b056?18??N, Longitude 31\u00b057?24??E.<\/p>\r\n

        This area is situated in Nikolaev, on the left bank of a curve in the river Yuzhniy Bug, 40 km upstream from where the river falls into Dneprovskiy Liman. The port connects to the Black Sea via the Bugsko-Dneprovsko-Limanskiy Channel (for more detailed information see Nikolaev Merchant Sea Port). The distance from the channel’s entrance to the port is 47 miles.<\/p>\r\n

        The port waters are linked to the transit route for ships by the approach channel of 70 m width, 800 m length and 5.8 m depth. Visibility in the approach channel and port waters is 5\u201310 miles and more. The port waters are protected from winds by a high shoreline to the east, and by a dam to the west.<\/p>\r\n

        Nikolaev River Port<\/em> is navigable all year round.<\/p>\r\n

        The port’s river passenger terminal is situated within city limits, 8 km upstream from its cargo area, on the left bank of the Yuzhniy Bug River. The passenger terminal’s position is: Latitude 46\u00b058?36??N, Longitude 31\u00b057?54??E.<\/p>\r\n

        Entering and Leaving Port<\/h3>\r\n

Transit ships and local vessels must inform the Port Control and Port Operator on Duty of their intention to enter or depart from the port well in advance and obtain permission to pass through the approach channel. Only one way passage is permitted in the cargo area approach channel. Preference is given to vessels of 3.5 m draught or more, and when this parameter is equal to vessels leaving the port.<\/p>\r\n

        In the passenger area preference is given to transit passenger ships and, amongst them, to those leaving the port. Movement of vessel can be carried out only by permission of DMSP port control and a Port Operator on duty.<\/p>\r\n

        The port admits cargo ships of max. 4.5 m draught and max. 140 m length at births Nos. 6, 7 at the distance of 15 \u043c from the quay wall with the draught of 5.5 m. In the passengers sector \u2013 with the draught of max. 2.9 \u043c and max. 130 \u043c length.<\/p>\r\n
