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.

Reach                                                Least depth (m) Width (m)

Traffic regulations

8.43

  Areas which should be avoided:

Area No 850 situated 2'/2 miles WSW of Mys Pavlovskyy (8.47).

Area No 851 situated 1 ¼  miles WSW of Mys Pavlovskyy (8.47).

Area No 852 extending SE from Port Krym (45°22’N, 36°38'E).

 Area No 853 extending SE from Mys Yenykale

(45°21'N, 36°36'E)

 

Rail ferry crossing zone

 8.44

 A rail ferry crosses Kerch Strait between Port Krym (45°22'N, 36°38'E) and Port Kavkaz (2 ½ miles SE). The following regulations apply in the railway ferry crossing zone, an area about 1 mile wide, the position of which is shown on the chart:

All vessels, irrespective of draught, must navigate within the limits of the canal and keep not less than 5 cables apart.

Anchoring and fishing are prohibited within the ferry zone.

Signals. Vessels with a draught of more than 4 m or length of 90 m must exhibit in addition to the usual signals:

By day—Black ball

By night—All round red light visible 3 miles.

 Ferries exhibit 2 all round green lights, vertically disposed.

Right of way. Ferries give way to vessels showing a black ball or red light. Smaller vessels give way to ferries. except in limited visibility, when ferries give way to all vessels navigating in the canal.

Directions

(continued from 8.37)

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.
