KERCH STRAIT

GENERAL INFORMATION

Charts 2234, 2216, 2242

Route and topography

Kerch Strait, known to the Russians as Kerchens'kyy Pivostriv, separates the E part of Krymsk'yy Pivostriv (Crimea) from Tamanskiy Pivostrov and connects the Black Sea with Sea of Azov. The strait varies much in width and is encumbered by extensive shallow banks and shoals, through which the Kerch-Yenikal'skiy Kanal has been dredged.

Limiting depths

The limiting depths in Kerch Strait are those in Kerch-Yenikal'skiy Kanal.

Railway ferry

Railway ferry crossing area (45°21'N, 36°39'E). See 8.44.

Principal marks 8.14

The following peaks are visible from all parts of the strait:

Hora Mitridat (45°21'N, 36°28'E) (8.47).

Gora Gorelaya (45°20'N, 36°49'E) (8.47).

Hora Khrony (45°23'N, 36°36'E) (8.47).

Pilotage 8.15

North-bound, Pilots embark at No 1 Light-buoy (W cardinal) (45°12'N, 36°28'E), close S of the entrance to the Kerch-Yenikal'skiy Kanal.

South-bound, Pilots board in position 45°27'-5N, 36°41'-5E.

Ship Movement Control Service. 8.16

Location. A Ship Movement Control Service is controlled from the Mys Zmeynyy Control and Radar Centre (45°20'-8N, 36°32'-7E) that controls and coordinates shipping movements in the area between Anchorage area No 450 (45°11'N, 36°29'E) and Anchorage areas No 453 (45°29'N, 36°38'E) and No 454 (45°29'N, 36°45'E).

GMDSS. A GMDSS station is located within the Mys Zmeynyy Control and Radar Centre.

Communications. All vessels approaching this area must keep constant watch on VHF. See Admiralty List of Radio Signals Volume 6(3) for details.

Regulations for navigation of Kerch Strait 8.17

The following instructions are extracts from the Regulations of the Port of Kerch' (1978 edition):

Notice of ETA. See Admiralty List of Radio Signals Volume 6(3) for details.

No vessels may enter the area (8.16) controlled under the Traffic Management System without permission.

This permission is in force for 30 minutes, after which time, permission must be requested again.

The passage draught allowed for the navigation of Kerch Strait will be promulgated by the Harbour Master at Kerch'.

Speed limitations:

Vessels with draught of less than 5 m—11 kn. Other vessels—9 kn. except between the meridians 36°35'0E and 36°37'-5E, where the speed of ships must not exceed 6 kn.

Vessels with a draught of 7-5 m and above must carry lights and shapes as prescribed by Rule 28 of The International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea (1972).

During fog, haze and falling snow, navigation in the channel is prohibited except where carried out with permission under the Ship Movement Control Service.

Vessels leaving lateral channels to join the main channel, and leaving the main channel to join lateral channels, must give way to vessels proceeding along the main channel.

Overtaking of ships in the channel is permitted. Right of way at canal turns:

Vessels with a draught of less than 7-5 m give way to other vessels.

If both vessels have a draught of 7-5 m or more, the vessel making a turn to port has right of way. Vessels giving way must remain 5 cables from the turn until the other vessel is clear.

Natural conditions 8.18

Ice appears almost every year in Kerch Strait in the second half of December. The ice cover is often broken up under the influence of the current and winds. In very severe winters when the winds are from the NW, the passage is covered by relatively firm ice. Ice normally clears in the second half of March.

Ice from Sea of Azov usually enters the passage in masses and piles up on the Kosa Chushka (45°23'N, 36°44'E) (8.52) and Kosa Tuzla (45°16'N, 36°33'E). A considerable amount of the ice penetrates into the S part of the strait.

8.19

Currents in Kerch Strait depend mainly on the winds and to a lesser extent on the flow of water from Sea of Azov. A S current is most common particularly when winds are from the N. A N current from the Black Sea is less common and usually occurs when the winds are S.

Mean speed of currents is between 0,1 and 0, 5 kn, but in the narrows when there is a strong wind, the strength of the current may reach 3 kn. The strongest and best established current has been observed between Mys Fanar (45°23'N, 36°39'E) (8.47) and Kosa Chushka and between Mys Pavlovskyy (45°18'N, 36°29'E) (8.47) and Kosa Tuzla, 2 miles SE.

8.20

Water level. Strong NE winds lower, and SW winds raise the level of the water in the strait. A difference of as much as 1 m has been observed in this level. 8.21

Local magnetic anomaly is reported to exist in the strait.

KERCH-YENIKAL'SKIY KANAL

General information

Chart 2242 (see 1.16)

Route

8.38

The Kerch-Yenikal'skiy Kanal leads generally NE along Recommended route No 12 for 18'/2 miles through a buoyed channel from Nos 1 and 2 Light-buoys (45°12'N, 36°28'E) to Nos 51 and 52 Light-buoys (45°26'N, 36°41'E).

The canal is divided into four reaches named, from S to N, Pavlovskoye, Burunskoyc, Yenikal'skoye and Chushkinskoye.

Topography

8.39

The coast on both sides of the canal is generally high. On the W side, the coast is indented by a number of bays and inlets. On the E side, sandy spits, which are low lying, extend from the coast.

Dangers. For almost the entire length of the canal, there are a large number of dangers close to its edge.

Buoyage

8.40

The canal is marked by pairs of buoys and light-buoys which are numbered consecutively from the S entrance. The majority of these marks are lateral buoys, but cardinal marks indicate the end of each reach.

Least depth and width

8.41

Least depths in the canal, which is surveyed frequently, are promulgated about twice a year. The most recent information available (2001) gives the following least depths and widths. Latest depths should be obtained from local authorities.

8.50

Initial position. 45°12'N, 36°28'E, S of No 1 Light-buoy (W cardinal).

Routes. Vessels with draught over 4-5 m follow the buoyed channel throughout. Vessels with a lesser draught follow Recommended route No 52, partially marked by light-buoys and shown on the chart, for the first two reaches.

Pavlovskoye Koleno

8.51

Pavlovskyy Leading Lights (8.37). The alignment (356 ½ °) of these lights leads N for 4 ½ miles from No 1 Light-buoy (W cardinal) to No 9 Light-buoy (W cardinal), passing (with positions from Mys Belyy (8.47)):

E of Mys Kamysh-Burnu (5 ½ miles SSW), a bluff similar in appearance to Mys Malyy (8.36) which lies at the NE end of some hills that extend inland NNW. A sandy plain lies at the N of this headland.

Thence the track alters NE onto the Burunskyy Leading Lights.

Caution. Close S of No 6 Light-buoy (port hand), the channel passes 1 ½ cables E of an obstruction with a depth of 3 6 m over it. See also 8.37 concerning the sensitivity of the transit.

Burunskoye Koleno

8.52

Burunskyy Leading Lights:

Front light (white 8-sided stone tower, 16 m in height)

(45°14'N, 36⁰251S). Rear light (8.37) (7 cables from front light).

The alignment (217¹/2°), astern, of these lights, visible on the leading line only, leads NE for 2 miles from No 11

Light-buoy (starboard hand) to No 19 Light-buoy (N cardinal), passing (with positions from Mys Belyy (45°19'N, 36°30'E)):

SE of the entrance to Bukhta Kamysh-Burunskaya (3 miles SW) (8.56), thence:

NW of Kosa Tuzla (3 miles SE). A low sandy island which, due to refraction, can often be seen from the S entrance of Kerch Strait. A number of conspicuous buildings stand on the island.

Thence the track alters ENE onto the alignment of Kamysh-Burunskyy and Churubashskyy Lights, and the Tamanskiy Leading Lights.

Cautions. The outline of Kosa Tuzla, especially the position of its NW and SE ends, is subject to considerable change and should not be used for taking bearings.

Close S of No 17 Buoy, the channel passes 1 cable NW of a wreck with a depth of 4-6 m over it.

Yenikal'skoye Koleno 8.53

The start of Yenikal'skoye Koleno is marked by the alignment (355'/2°) of Pavlovskiye Sekushchiye Leading Lights:

Front light (black triangle on white square, black stripe, 6 m in height) (45°18'-5N, 36°29'-lE).

Rear light (white rectangle, black stripe, 7 m in height) (590 m from front light).

Leading lights:

Kamysh-Burunskyy Light (white round concrete tower, 32 m in height) (45°17'N, 36°25'E).

Churubashskyy Light (black rectangle, red stripe on framework tower, 31 m in height) (5 miles WSW of front light.

Tamanskiy Leading Lights:

Front light (white rectangle, red stripe on metal framework tower, 21 m in height) (45°23'N, 36°44'E).

Rear light (black rectangle, red stripe on metal framework tower, 43 m in height) (3³/4 miles ENE of front light) (Chart 2216).

The alignment (246³/4°), astern, of the Kamysh-Burunskyy and Churubashskyy Lights and the alignment (066 ¾ °) of the Tamanskiy Leading Lights, visible on the leading line only, leads ENE for 8 miles from No 19 Light-buoy (N cardinal) to No 41 Light-buoy (N cardinal), passing (with positions from Mys Yenykale (45°21'N, 36°36'E)):

NW of No 19 Light-buoy (N cardinal) (5 ¾ miles SW).

This light-buoy marks the NW extremity of a flat that extends NW from Kosa Tuzla. Thence: NW of Anchorage area No 452 (5 miles SW), thence: SE of Mys Zmeynyy (2'/2 miles W), which may be identified by a high rock situated near it. Thence:

NW of No 35 Buoy (starboard hand) which marks the end of a row of submerged piles (the underwater remains of a ruined railway bridge and aerial ropeway) which extends NW from the SW extremity of Kosa Chushka. Thence:

NW of the SW part of Kosa Chushka, a sandy spit which runs for 10 miles SW from Mys Akhilleon (45°26'N, 36°47'E) (8.47).

Thence the track alters NNE onto the Chushkinskiy Leading Lights.

Cautions. Yenikal'skoye Koleno passes through shallow water, particularly in the vicinity of Tserkovnyye Banki (45°21'N, 36°36'E) and through waters dangerous to navigation at its NE end. Vessels must therefore adhere closely to the leading line when navigating this reach of the

canal. The fairway is obstructed in places by the anchors of some of the channel buoys.

When between Nos 20 and 22 Buoys, the tower of Kamysh-Burunskyy Light obscures the tower of Churubashskyy Light.

Turkey in Marmara Denizi and along the S coast of the Black Sea, Bulgaria and Romania along the W coast, Ukraine along the N coast, Russian Federation along the NE coast and Georgia along the E coast.

General considerations

TRAFFIC AND OPERATIONS

Traffic

Density 1.6

The greatest concentration of shipping is liable to be found in the restricted waters of Canakkale Bogazi and Istanbul Bogazi and in the traffic separation schemes that are situated in the approaches to the major ports.

There are also liable to be above average concentrations of traffic along the recommended routes which have been established between Russian ports in the N part of the Black Sea and in Sea of Azov.

High speed craft 1.7

High speed craft operate in areas covered by this volume. Mariners are advised to maintain a good lookout. Some high speed craft may generate large waves, which can have a serious impact on small craft and their moorings close to the shoreline and on shallow off-lying banks. For further details see Annual Notice to Mariners No 23.

Fishing

Sturgeon and mackerel are caught in large numbers in the NW part of the Black Sea; herring are found chiefly in Kerch Strait and off the mouth of the River Danube and Rika Dnipro; anchovy is caught in large quantities along the coast of Kryms'kyy Pivostriv; and the flounder is found nearly all over the Black Sea.

Exercise areas

Turkish 1.9

Submarine. The general position of Turkish submarine exercise areas is shown on the charts. Submarines exercise frequently in these areas and a good lookout is to be kept for them when passing through these waters. See the Annual Summary of Admiralty Notices to Mariners.

Other areas. Other military exercise and firing areas are situated in Turkish waters. The limits of these areas are shown on Turkish charts. Notice of exercises and firing practices, giving the limits of the area and duration of the exercise, is promulgated by radio navigational warning. See 1.25.

PRESENCE OF SUBMARINES

Russia 1.11

Russian Federation submarines carry their navigation lights in special positions as follows:

One steaming light on the upper part of the front edge of the fin.

Side lights on the relevant side of the fin in its central part.

One or two stern lights. When one light is displayed it will be carried on the stern or on the rear edge of the vertical stabiliser. When two lights are carried they are situated on the rear part of the fin.

Anchor lights are placed on the bow section and on the stern or vertical stabiliser. On submarines with a high stabiliser the stern anchor light may be replaced by two lights set on the sides of the stabiliser which together are visible over 360°. NUC and other all-round visibility lights may be raised on a mast, not less than 2-5 m in height, on the fin.

Manoeuvring lights are not carried.

When in areas of heavy traffic submarines on the surface may also exhibit either one or two orange quick flashing lights. See also The Mariner's Handbook and Annual Summary of Admiralty Notices to Mariners.

For submarine warning signals see 1.60; for distress signals see 1.61.
