RUSSIAN
Russian (property Great Russian) is the principal Slavonic language using the Cyrillic alphabet. This alphabet is
largely based on Greek, but includes some letters of ooknown, possibly Eastern origin.
Nouns in Russian are declined, with 6 cases singular and 6 plural.
Adjectives are declined, and agree with the nouns. but have gender endings only. Adjectival endings exist for
masculine, feminine and neuter genders singular. The plural form is the same for all genders.
Dictionaries normally show nominative singular for nouns and nominative singular, masculine gender, for
adjectives.
TURKISH
Ottoman Turkish was originally written in Arabic saipt, but was converted to Roman letters in 1928. There are
eight vowels, four back (a, 1 o, u) and four front (e, i,o, ii). If the vowel of the first syllable of a word rs a back vowel,
succeeding vowels will normally also be back vowels; similarly front vowels follow front vowels. Exceptions to this rule
are malnly In words of foreign origin and then. in general. suffixes follow the vowel in the last syllable. This is known
as the rule of vowel harmony. Suffo,es are used when words are declined to indicate their case, and to give additional
meanings. These normally follow the rule of vowel harmony. Those most commonly used in this book are:
Possessive -\ -i, -u, -u Samsun Korfezi = Sarnsun Bay, from korfez = bay
Possessive -s1 -si, su, -su Marmara Adas,= Island of Marmara
(after a final vowel) from ada = island
Plural -tar, -ler Adalar = Islands
Adjective -1,k, -lik Kayal1k = Rocky from kaya = rock
For place names which are composed of two nouns, the possessive case is used for the second noun. However,
when they are made up of an adjective and a noun, the nominative case is used, eg:
Ada = Island Deniz = Sea
Buyuk Ada= Large Island Karadeniz = Black Sea
Zeytin Adas, = Zeytin Island Marmara Oenizi = Sea of Manmara
Burun = Cape iskele = Jetty
Kara Burun = Black Cape i~ iskele = Inner Jetty
Aydos Burnu = Cape Aydos Giimri'lk lskelesi = Customs Jetty

Pronunciation
Generally stress is laid equally on all syllables of a word. Letters are l)(onounced as in English with the following
exceptions:
c As T in jealous.
~ As 'ch' in 'chop'.
g Between two front vowels - as 'y' in 'yet'.
g Between two back vowels - not sounded. but P<eceding vowel is lengthened.
, As something between 'i' in 'big' and 'u' in 'bug'.
j As 'su' in 'pleasure'.
O As 'u' in 'um' or 'ea• in 'earth'.
1. As in 'sh' in 'shop'.
u As 'e' in ·yew'.
er As 'air' in 'fair'.
ey As 'al' in 'pain'.
ay As 'i' in 'mine'.

TABLE FOR THE TRANSLITERATION OF RUSSIAN

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES INCLUDING THE
CYRILLIC MORSE CODE
Russian (properly "Great Russian") is the principal Slavonic language using the Cyrillic alphabet. the latter being largely
based on the Greek, bul including some letters of unknown. possibly Eastern, origin.
The rules for pronunciation and accent are so complicated. and contain so many exceptions, that it would be out of place
to give them here. For these and other reasons El has been decided, after full consideration, that Russian words will be
spelt, not as they are pronounced, but as they are written; in fact. a lener-for~etter transliteration has been adopted.
The Pennanent Committee on Geographical Names (PCGN), in agreement wilh the United States Board of Geographical
Names (USBGN), approved, on 19th May 1948, the use of the folowing table for the transliteration of Russian, which has
the advantage over previous tables of mechanical applicabilfty.

2 There are also liable to be above-average
concentrations of traffic along the recommended
routes established between Russian and Ukrainian
ports in the N part of the Black Sea and in Sea of
Azov.
High speed craft
1.23
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
General information
1.24
Sturgeon and mackerel are caught in large
numbers in the NW part of the Black Sea; hermg are
found chiefly in Kerth Strait and off the mouth of the
River Danube and Rika Dnipro; anchovy is caught in
large quantities along the coast of Kryms'l<yi Pivostriv
(Crimean Peninsula); and the flounder is found over
most of the Black Sea.
Marine farms
1.25
Marine farming equipment may be encountered in
many of the bays and inlets in the area covered by
this volume. They may also be found up to several
miles offshore. however, development has been rapid
and marine farms can be quickly established or
moved without any warning. Marine farms, which may
be fixed or floating structures, are usually secured to
the seabed by a spread of anchors which can be
extensive. The position of anchors, where used, may
be marked by buoys.
2 Caution. Mariners are cautioned to avoid areas of
marine farms, and to note that their presence has
rendered many hitherto accepted anchorages either
unsuitable or limited in swinging space.
Exercise areas
Turkey
1.26
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 t .50. See Appendix 2 for a fist of Turkish
Regulated Areas. These areas are also listed in
chapters 5 and 6 of the Turlcish Annual Nonces to
Mariners.
Russian regulated areas
1.27
Russian regulated areas include all areas where
navigation, fishing and anchoring are prohibited or
restricted. Such areas are normally charted and
mentioned in Sailing Directions.
2 Some prohibited areas are designated by the
Russian authorities as being temporarily prohibited for
navigation, however, as these restrictionsare for an
indefinite period, they are treated in the same way as
permanently prohibited areas.
s Other regulated areas consist of areas declared
periodically dangerous for navigation. These areas,
3
which include various firing danger and exercise
areas, may lie partly or wholly outside Russian
territorial waters. Some of these areas are charted.
See also Appendix 3 .
.c Responsibility for violation of the limits of the
regulated areas rests with the Master of the ship
involved; ignorance of the limits will not serve as a
basis to avoid responsibility.
s Information about Russian regulated areas is
announced by PRIP or NAVIP. Similar warnings may
occasionalty be broadcast concerning areas where
nav,gabon JS periodically prohibited. Details of PRIP
and NAVIP radio broadcasts are given in ADMIRALTY
ust of Radio Signals Volume3(t).
Ukraine, Bulgaria and Georgia
1.28
See Appendix 3 for Ukrainian Regulated Areas;
Appendix 4 for details of Bulgarian Regulated Areas;
Appendix 5 for Georgian Regulated Areas; and
Appen<flX 6 for Former Mine Danger Areas. See also
t.72 and t.73.
Submarine exereis-es
Turkey
1.29
The general positions of Turkish submarine exercise
areas are 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 Manner·s Handbook.
Russia
1.30
Russian Federation submarines carry their
na\/igation rights 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.
2 One or two stem lights. When one light is
displayed it will be carried on the stem or on
the rear edge of the vertical stabiliser. When
two lights are canied they are situated on the
rear part of the fin.
3 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.
s When in areas of heavy uaffic submarines on the
surface may also exhibit either one or two orange
quick flashing lights. See also The Mariner's
Handbook.
For submarine warning signals see 1.97; for
distress signals see t.98.
Marine exploitation
Surveys
1.31
Seismic and other survey vessels surveying in
connection with o~ and gas fields are liable to be
encountered in the N and W parts of the Black Sea
and the Sea of Azov. Seismic survey methods are
outlined in The Mariner·s Handbook.
 e-NP24 - TRAMMO PARIS (IMO No.lM09792515)
Oil and gas fields
1.32
Permanent and established structures, weUs and
other seabed installations including their associated
submarine pipelines and cables are charted. together
with their navigational marks. Details are liable to
frequent change as fields are developed or reduced.
2 Detailed information relating to offshore oil and gas
production is contained in The Mariners Handbook. All
structures are protected by a 500 m safety zone and
should be given as wide a berth as possible. Many
structures are equipped either with racons or AJS
transponders.
CHARTS
Positions
1.33
The geographical positions in this volume are
quoted to two decimal places and are, where possible,
based upon the WGS 84 datum. Where this is not
possible positions will have been taken from a
non-WGS 84 chart and minor positional discrepancies
may be noted. These posrtions are not to be used as
an indication of navigational or positional accuracy but
are for the purpose of identification and cfrtferentiation
of named and unnamed topographical. navigational
and hydrographic features, points and marks. Where
navigational and/or positional accuracy is required
then positions should be obtained direct from the
largest scale chart or ENC cell, taking note of the
datum.
ADMIRALTY charts
ADMIRALTY charts
1.34
British ADMIRALTY charts provide full co-age of
the Black Sea and Marmara Denizi, including plans of
the principal Turkish. Bulgarian, Romanian. Ukrainian
and Georgian ports. There are also plans of the main
Russian ports open to international trade (1.81). When
assessing the degree of retiability of a chart. mariners
should take account of the age of its source material
and its date of publication.
2 British ADMIRALTY metric charts are based on the
most recent charts issued by the national authorities.
British ADMIRALTY charts and pubUcalions can be
obtained from ADMIRALTY Chart agents Usted in
Catalogue of ADMIRALTY Charts and Publications,
published annually.
Foreign charts
1.35
For certain smaller ports and/or navigational areas
where coverage by British ADMIRALTY charts os
considered inadequate, or it is a requirement lo
foreign government charts of the area, foreign charts
are quoted as reference charts. They will normally be
of a larger scale and will have been used to write the
Sailing Directions on the assumptjon that mariners
wishing to navigate in these areas win have provided
themselves with suitable charts to do so.
2 Foreign charts may be obtained from the publishing
authorities shown in this volume and in the Catalogue
of ADMIRALTY Charts and PvblicaDOnS. These charts
are not issued by the Hydrographic Department nor
are they corrected by ADMIRALTY Notices to
Mariners.
3 Turkish, Bulgarian, Romanian, Ukrainian and
Russian charts provide detailed coverage of each
country's coastal waters. anchorages, ports and
harbours. Further information. including recommended
routes, regulated areas and harbour limits, are
induded where appropriate.
Names on charts
1.36
Throughout this volume. names of features have
been taken from the paper chart. On occasions, tt
may be noticed that the name on an ENC may not
agree with the paper chart.
Datums
Horizontal datum
1.37
All metric British ADMIRALTY charts are based on
the same horizontal datum as the National charts from
which they are derived.
Vertical datum
1.38
Depths and heights on the majority of British
ADMIRALTY charts are reduced to MSL.
As a consequence. mariners using these charts
(see 1.34) should be aware that predicted and actual
depths less than those charted may routinely occur.
See Table V of ADMIRALTY Tide Tables for details.
2 Drying heights on ADMIRALTY charts are shown
as being above chart datum.
Elevations on most modern British ADMIRALTY
charts are shown as being above MHWS. On many
older British AMIRALTY charts. elevations are shown
as being above MHW. Details of the vertical datum in
use are usually shown in the explanatory notes below
the chart title.

Landmarks
1.40
Although every effort is made to verify the
carry appropriateness and currency of conspicuous
landmarks, caution may be required when evaluating
some landmarks given in this volume, as natural
causes and commerclal development may have
rendered some landmarks as inconspicuous.
Beacons
1.41
A beacon is a fixed artificial navigation mark which
can be reoognised by means of its shape, colour,
pattern or topmark; it may carry a light, radar reflector
or othe< aid to navigation.

Oaymarks
1.42
The term daymark refers to a large unlit beacon but
the term is also used to denote a topmar1< or other
distinguishing mark or shape incorporated into a
beacon, light-buoy or buoy.
Some charts in use in the area may still have
features incorrectly charted relative one to another,
because modern land surveys have not been
conducted.
The lateral system for fixed artificial aids is based
on that used for buoyage.
Buoys

Maritime Danube, see 5.11.
Caution. In areas where sea ice forms during the
winter months, navigational buoys may be lifted.
2 It has been reported that aids to navigation in
Georgian waters may be unreliable. Mariners should
exercise extreme caution in the identification of aids to
navigation.
Caution. For visual effects of light sectors
associated with cold weather and rapid changes of

Submarine cables and pipelines
1.54
Mariners are adv~sed not to anchor or trawl in the
vicinity of pipelines. Pipelines are not always buried
and their presence may significantly reduce the
charted depth. They may also span seabed
undulations and cause fishing gear to become
irrecoverably snagged, putting a vessel in severe
danger.

indicating the presence of submarines.
2 Vessels are cautioned to give a wide berth to such
vessels. maintaining a good lookout meanwhile for
submarines. whose presence may only be indicated
by their periscopes showing above water.
s Submerged submarines surfacing by night may
release light buoys exhibiting a white light, and may
also display normal navigation lights. Submerged
submarines may release signal cartridges which emit
coloured smoke by day, or coloured rockets by night.
• It must not be infen-ed from these signals that
submarines exercise only when in company with

current. The bora can blow offshore with much
violence in the Novorossiysk area and give rise to
dangerous conditions soon after its onset Allhough
the wind speed may decrease further out to sea. the
very rough to high sea waves produced can then
move on as swell waves to affect a large area of the
Black Sea.
3 Worthy of special mention are the very rough seas
which can be raised near the S shores of lhe Black
Sea by strong N winds which tend to be enhanced
locally by high ground rising steeply from the coast
Swell conditions
1.116
Diagrams 1.116.1 to 1.116.4 give swell roses for
several areas for February. May, August and
November. however, as they are based on imited
data the swell information should be used with
caution. The roses show the percentages of
observations recording swell waves for each sector
and tor several ranges of wave height.
2 In January. swells are predominantly from between
NW and NE in the w. becoming mainly W in the E.
and mainly low NE in Marmara Denizi. Reflable data
for the Sea of Azov is unavailable. In winter, sweD
heights are mainly less than 2 to 3 m but occasionally
reach 6 to 8 m in the W. In spring (March to May)
isolated instances of swells up to 10 m have been
recorded in some areas and up to 14 m in the E
Black Sea. In July swell heights are significantly lower
and more variable, especially in E areas. and swells
of 4 m or more are usual.
Tyagun
1.117
Several ports on the E shore of the Black Sea are
liable to the development of unpleasant and
sometimes dangerous wave conditions inside the
harbour. This phenomenon, known as the Tyagun.
may occur when waves of some critical period or
direction enter the harbour and set up a resonant
wave movement of the waters inside the harbour.
When these conditions occur, it may be necessary for
vessels to move from an alongside berth to a buoy or
put to sea
2 The waves which cause the Tyagun may be
generated locally by strong winds or by swell waves.
In the latter case, a Tyagun can develop in a port
when local wind conditions are calm or light and
variable. The Tyagun is reported to affect ports on lhe
Caucasian coast between Tuapse and Bat'umi.
SEA WATER CHARACTERISTICS
Salinity
1.118
Average salinity is just under 22. See also ThB
Mariner's Handbook.
Density
1.119
The average density of the surface layer of the
Black Sea is 1·014 g!m3. See also The Mariners
Handbook.
Oxygen levels
1.120
Marine life can only exist in the surface waters of
the Black Sea. Below a depth of 155 m in lhe middle
of the sea, and nearly twice that depth at its edges,
there is no oxygen to support life and the water is
charged with sulphuretted hydrogen.
19
2 The reason for this situation is that while the
surface laye,s are regularly replenished by river water
and direct precipitatjon. the deeper layers of the Black
Sea are onty renewed by the saline undercurrent from
Marmara Oenizi. The volume of water thus introduced
is small in comparison to the total volume of water in
the sea and it has been estimated that water at
greater depths is only renewed about once every
2500years.
Sea surface temperature
1.121
Diagrams 1.121.1 to 1.121.4 show the mean sea
surface temperature for February, May. August and
November.
Minimum sea surface temperatures are generally
recorded in February and March. Values fall below
o·c in a coastal strip around the NW shores of the
Black Sea from the vicinity of the Danube estuary to
w Kryms'kyi Pivostriv and also in the coastal waters
of the Sea of Azov. Except in severe winters,
temperatures over the open seas in these localities
are usually 3• to 4°C higher. There is a substantial
and rapid increase in sea water temperature to the S
with mean values of r to s·c off s
Kryms'kyi
Pivostriv, over much of the S and central regions of
the Black Sea and Marmara Denizi.
2 Maximum sea surface temperatures are attained
in Augusl Water temperatures increase throughout
spring and summer, slowly at first but then more
rapidly to reach 24• to 2s·c over much of the Black
Sea and Marmara Denizi in August. In this month the
warmest sea temperatures are to be found in the SE
Black Sea and Sea of Azov, while the coolest are in
the NW Black Sea. The differences throughout are
only around 2• to 3•c.
3 Variations in sea surface temperatures can be
considerable from one year to the next. In severe
winte<s the sea surface temperatures may fall below
o•c over most of the Sea of Azov, the NW basin of
the Black Sea and in a coastal strip down the W
coast of the Black Sea possibly as far S as the N
entrance to istanbul Bogazi. Conversely, summer sea
surface temperatures as high as 2s·c
have been
recorded in central and S parts of the Black Sea in
some years and up to 29°C in Marmara Denizi.
ICE CONDITIONS
Sea Ice conditions
1.122
In the area covered by this volume, sea ice is
formed during the prolonged periods of frost which
occur in winter in the N parts of the Black Sea and
Sea of Azov. The severity of the winter, and therefore
the extent and thickness of the ice cover. varies in
different years but even in the most severe winter.
only a comparatively small part of Black Sea is
affected by ice. Navigation is affected in only three
regions: River Danube, NW Black Sea and Sea of
Azov, together with Kerch Strait. February is the
month of greatest ice cover in these areas.
Ice accumulation
1.123
The extremely cold winter temperatures together
with the very high Ylind speeds experienced in some
N parts of the Black Sea create conditions which
result in the accumulation of ice on hulls and
superSO'\Jctures. Build up can be rapid and constitute
a dangerous hazard to ship safety. See The Mariner's
Handbook for details of the causes and recommended
courses of action.

2 Diagrams 1.122.1 and 2 enable an assessment to
be made of the degree of icing to be expected
according to wind strength and the sea and wind
temperatures.
s In the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, the greatest risk
of ice accumulation is between November and March.
especially with bora-type winds such as experienced
around Novorossiysl<., when winds of up to torce 12
and temperatures as low as -20•c are possible.
CLIMATE AND WEATHER
General Information
1.124
The following information on climate and weather
should be read in conjunction with the information
contained in The Mariners Handbook, which explains
in more detail many aspects of meteorology and
climatology of importance to the mariner.
2 Weather reports and forecasts are broadcast
regularly in the language of the country fr0<n which
transmissions are made, and are often repeated in
English. Warnings of hazardous conditions are issued
when appropriate. Schedules and details of
transmissions are given in ADMIRAL TY list of Radio
Signals Volume3(1).
General C·Onditions
1.125
The climate of the area varies from f111e. hot, suMy
summers of the Mediterranean type to very cold
winters which are substantialty colder than average
winters in the Mediterranean.
2 Most disturbed weather occurs in winter and is
usually associated with depressions mow,g E across
the area. There may be some rain at all times of the
year, turning to snow in winter; amounts are generalty
small in the N and W regions. In summer Masmara
Denizi is usually dry. Along the N coast of Turkey,
high ground near the coast induces significant
amounts of rainfall; wettest conditions are to be found
In the SE around Bat'umi and P'ot'i where falls are
substantial, especially between September and
November.
3 Fog at sea may occasionally be encountered in
winter and spring but is rare in summer. In coastal
areas fog and poor visibility are most frequem in
winter and spring and are particularly common in the
far N.
Pressure
Average Distribution
1.126
The average pressure distribution at mean sea level
in February, May, August and November is shown in
the accompanying diagrams 1.126.1 to 1.126.4. The
pressure field is dominated by the large scale
seasonal pressure changes over the Asian land mass.
In winter the vast continental anticydone is centred
over Siberia with a ridge extending W towards
Ukraine, whilst pressure is relatively low over the
Mediterranean. In summer pressure falls over Asia
with a low pressure area over Pakistan. A ridge of
high pressure often extends E from the Azores
anticyclone to Europe and the Mediterranean. The
transitional periods between winter and summer are
usually sbort and occur in April/May and late
September/early October.
28
2 The pressure fields described above are the mean
of very changeable pressure patterns which may vary
markedly fr0<n day to day. especially in winter when
depressions moving E across the sea cause large and
rapid pressure changes.
3 The diurnal variation of pressure is small in this
region with amplitude of about 1 hPa (mb). Maxima
occur at about 1000 and 2000 local time and minima
are around 0400 and 1600. The diurnal oscillations
are often masked by larger pressure changes due to
transiting depressions and occasional anticyclones.
Anticyclones
1.127
In both winter and summer, anticyctones are the
domnant features and thus affect the climate of the
Black Sea region.
2 The Asian winter anticyclone, induced by the
cooling of the huge continental land mass. becomes
estabfished in October and is centred over Siberia/NW
Mongolia with an elongated E-W axis. Maximum
development is attained in February. Throughout the
winter this anticyck>ne is the source of cold air which
flows SW or W to affect the Black Sea. Occasionally,
a separate high pressure centre develops over
Baltic/Finland. This can result in very cold winter
conditions as Arctic air is brought to the Black Sea
region. From mid-March the Asian anticyclone
weakens and finally disappears in May.
3 In summer the semi-permanent Azores anticyclone
often extends its influence E as a ridge of high
pressure builds across Europe and the Mediterranean
to the Black Sea region, giving fine settled weather.
When the ridge recedes to tile W, showery and
thundery conditions may ensue as troughs of low
pressure are permitted to encroach from the N.
OccasionaRy a ridge may extend well to the E and N
of the Black Sea region and unusually warm
conditions resutt as warm dry air is brought to the
region fr0<n S Asia on the S flank of this ridge.
Depressions
1.128
Frequent mobile depressions affect the Black Sea
region in winter. They are less frequent in summer.
These depressions are responsible for most of the
disturbed weather in the area, bringing strong winds,
rain or snow and sometimes quite abrupt changes in
the weather, temperature and humidity. They usually
have frontal systems associated wrth them. Principal
depression tracks are shown on accompanying
diagram 1.128.
2 In winter and occasionally in summer these
depressions approach the Black Sea area from NW
having onginated over N AUanlic Ocean and moved E
across N Europe. During the summer months they
usually pass further N but associated frontal troughs
may affect the Black Sea region. Other frontal
depressions reach the Black Sea area from the
Mediterranean moving E from the Adriatic across
Bulgaria and Romania or NE from the Adriatic via
Marmara Denizi. They are more frequent in winter
than sLSM1er.
s Depressions usually move across the Black Sea
region at around 20 kn and most commonly exrt the
region on a NE track passing near Rostov-na-Donu
0< E to the N of Bat'umi.
Tropical storms do not affect this area.

Fronts
1.129
Warm and cold fronts, associated with E-going
depressions. affect the Black Sea region. A delailed
description of the weather patterns that are usuaDy
associated with warm and cold fronts is given in ThB
Mariners Handbook. Warm fronts are rare in summer
but occasional active cold fronts cross the region.
2 Cold fronts and occlusions are most commonly
associated with the depressions arriving over the
Black Sea region from NW Europe. In winter they
bring outbreaksof cold or very cold air. Ahead of the
front the wind freshens from S or SW and may
become strong; as the front passes the wind veers to
a N point, sometimes abruptly, and there is often a
belt of rain, sleet or snow. As the front moves S
across the area there is sometimes a tendency for
conditions to become more unstable. Heavy thundery
showers, possibly with hail and squalls, may develop
as the front approaches the S shores. In summer the
cold fronts and occlusions crossing the region
continue to be fairly active although the air behind the
cold front is usually mild and no substantial fall in
temperalure is to be expected; the associated rain
may be light and patchy but sometimes heavy
showers and thunderstorms may mark the passage of
the front.
3 Mediterranean depressions, which are most
common in winter, may have active wann and cold
fronts. The approach and passage of the warm front
brings a mild S airstream to the area with extensive
cloud, rain and sometimes poor visibility, especialty on
N coasts. In the warm sector. S areas in the f-ee of
the Turkish plateau often have fair weather with good
visibility, but farther N cloud increases to give overcast
conditions over N shores. Cold fronts give rise to
similar weather patterns to those described above for
depressions arriving from tm.

Winds
General information
1.130
Wind roses showing the frequency of winds of
various directions and speeds for February. May,
AuguSI and November are given in diagrams 1.130. 1
to 1.130.4. Wind data for N parts of the area in winter
are sparse and therefore these wind roses should be
used with caution.
Open sea
1.131
In winter, winds over the open sea vary
substantially from day to day due to the frequent
transn of depressions but. in the W part of the region.
winds from between SW (through NW) and NE
predominate. Winds from between N and NE a,e a
regular feature in the E of the area. In winter, across
the whole of the Black Sea area, winds of force 8 and
above are common.
2 In summer. winds are generally lighter and mainly
between N and NE in the W of the area but mainly E
in central and E areas, Winds above force 5 to 6 are
rare in the E but slightly more lrequent In the W.
Coastal waters
1.132
General remar1<s. Wrthin about 20 miles of the
coast. winds may be greatly modified by local
topography and by the effects of land and sea
breezes. as described in The Mariner's Handbook.
2 Land and sea breezes are well-marked in summer
throughout the area and are also common in spring
and autumn. The sea breeze usually sets in about
mid-morning as an onshore breeze then freshens until
mid-afternoon when it may reach force 3 to 4 and

fades soon after dusk. The land breeze is usually
weaker and blows offshore from late evening until
shortly after sunrise. In windy conditions the land or
sea breeze may oppose or reinforce the prevailing
wind.
3 Local topography such as the position ot mountain
barriers and the direction of valleys can have an
important effect on the wind speed and direction. The
Rionskiy Valley which extends E from near P'ot'i has
very high ground on either side. In winter the winds
frequently blow through the valley from E. sometimes
very strongly due to funnelling, and in summer they
tend to blow from W. The effects are apparent at a
considerable distance offshore.
, Bora. At Novorossiysk a violent wind known as the
bora (1.138) is a well-known feature caused by the
NE airstream being deflected around the N flank of
Bol'shoy Kavkaz (Caucasus Mountains) and
channelled through a gap in the hdls.
Kataba1ic winds. Along the N coast of Turkey
katabatic SE winds blow over coastal waters when
cool air drains at night from high ground to the S.
These winds are most common in winter.
Regional winds
1.133
Meltemi or etesians. In Marmara Oenizi, which
includes istanbul Bogazi and yanakkale Bogazi. NE
winds predominate throughout the year and are
strongest in winter. These winds are widely known as
meltemi (Turkish) or etesians (Greek). When not
blowing from NE, the winds are frequently SW.
1.134
Regional winds in the Black Sea are as follows:
Trampontan is a N wind on the coasts of
Bulgaria and Kryms'kyi Pivostriv (Crimean
Peninsula). At Yaha, winds speeds may be
significant enough to cause damage.
Levan is a humid wind from the S which brings
overcast weather and rain. In the open sea tt
can cause heavy swell. It is most frequent in
January and February.
2 Not is a strong warm humid wind from the S. tt
brings fog and rain to the N coast of the area.
Harbiy is a S wind which raises a positive
surge. In Yaltyn'ka Zatoka it causes a large
swell that can drive fishing vessels ashore.
Boneti or Ponente is a raw W wind on the
coasts of Bulgaria and Kryms'kyi Pivostriv, and
is accompanied by overcast skies and
occasional rain.
3 Karadzhol is a W wind on the coast of Bulgaria,
which usually brings overcast skies and rain.
Lodoz is a hot S or SW wind on the w coast of
the area. It is most frequent in summer and
autumn and is accompanied by fine weather.
1.135
Regional winds in the Sea of Azov are as follows:
Levan is an E wind which usually occurs in
autumn and winter but may also occur in
spring. It is a moist, sometimes strong wind,
accompanied by overcast skies and rain,
which raises a moderate sea.
2 Maistra is a cold dry wind from the NW, blowing
over the land.
Not is a strong wann humid wind from the S. It
brings fog and rain, sometimes with hai. to
the N coast of the area.
Ostraya is a wann moist wind from the S or SE.
36
3 The local name for a W wind is Bunent, while a
S wind is known as Gargiy or Shiroka; the
SU!dl<:Ney (dry wind). which is a dry hot wind
from the E or S, are known as Azovets.
Gales
Open sea
1.136
Diagrams 1.136.t to 1.136.4 show the percentage
frequency of winds exceeding Beaufort force 7 for
February. May, August and November. In winter, gales
are experienced over the open sea throughout the
region and winds of force 8 or more are recorded on
about 1 O % of occasions off W coasts and on around
5 % of occasions elsewhere. Winds of force 9 to 10
have been recorded in most areas and force 12 has
been reached off the W coast and near Novorossiysk.
Most gales are from NE but occasionally S or SE
winds reach gale force as a depression approaches
from W. Although short lived, these S gales can resutt
in short steep waves in the W of the area, due to the
$-selling current. In the Sea of Azov, E gales are
often prolonged.
Coastal waters
1.137
Gales are experienced in all parts in winter but with
the exception of the areas around Novorossiysk and
P'ofi. tt is only on N coasts where gales occur with a
frequency of around 5 % in February and with the
predominant direction being between N and E. In
Marmara Denizi gales are most frequent with winds
between N and NE and occasionally with winds from
between S and SW. At istanbul and Canakkale gales
are recorded on around 3 to 4 days per month in
winter. At P'ofi on the SE of the Black Sea, E gales,
the resuh of E winds funnelled through the Reka Rioni
valley, are recorded on around 6 % of occasions in
January. Maximum winds have reached force 11.
2 In summer gales are unusual throughout the region
although on isolated occasions winds of force 8 to 9
have been recorded in the N. Al Novorossiysk strong
NE and E winds blow occasionally but rarely reach
gale force.
Bora
1.138
Bora is the name given to a strong cold NE wind
which sometimes blows with extreme violence in the
area around Novorossiysk. The local topography
causes the wind to blow much more strongly than
elsewhere along this coast and with the extremely
cold air plunging like an avalanche in winter through a
pass in the hills above Novorossiysk. The conditions
that make favourable a bora are high pressure to the
N and low pressure to the S. Winds of 78 kn are not
unusual and on rare occasions winds of over 100 kn
have been recorded.
Storms
Sea of Azov storms
1.139
Sea of Azov storms develop in strong NE winds
and can cause a hazard to vessels. They tend to
occur in winter and are usually accompanied by
severe frosts. At the head of Gulf of Taganrog, they
generate rough seas and along Arabats'ka Strilka, the

associated waves break up the ice to form hummocks.
The longest duration of a Sea of Azov storm is 9 days
and they occur around 20 to 30 times per year.
Waterspouts
1.140
A waterspout is a vortex. slmilar to a tornado. with
a reduced pressure at the centre and a vertical or
bent ax.is. They have a diameter varying from several
metres to several hundreds of metres and have a
typical lifespan lasting several minutes to several tens
of minutes.
2 A waterspout looks like a dark cloud column. Its
formation is associated with severe atmospheric
instability. Initially, a funnel-shaped column appears at
the base of a large cumutus or cumulonimbus cloud
which gradually extends towards the sea like a ftex,ble
hose. A column of dust or spray from the sea rises to
meet it. Several waterspouts may descend
simultaneously from one cumulus or cumulonimbus.
Typically, waterspouts move at around 20 kn and wind
speeds within the waterspout may reach 100 to
200 kn. The rotary movement can be clockwise or
anticlockwise.
3 Waterspouts may develop in hot weather in summer
and early autumn in the S and SE parts of Sea of
Azov and along coasts of Caucasus, Kryms·kyi
Pivostriv and Bulgaria. They can occur at any time of
the day or night, but are more common during the
day. Waterspouts can cause catastrophic destruction,
sometimes with loss of ltte.
Cloud
Open sea
1.141
Cloud amounts are greater in winter throughout the
region. At sea, average amounts are 5 to 6 oktas with
the SW part of the Black Sea being the least cloudy.
Winds from a S point give ina-easing amounts of
cloud from S to N. As the air flows over progressively
cooler waters. small amounts of stratocumulus in the
S Increase farther N to give cloudy to overcast skies
along N coasts with patchy stratus. With winds from a
N point, skies are usualty well broken on N coasts. As
the air passes over warmer waters farther S,
increasing instability results in the development of
cumulus/stratocumulus cloud with an increased
likelihood of showers. There is little diurnal variation in
cloud amounts over the central areas of the Black
Sea.
In summer the weather is generally fine with
average cloud amounts of 2 to 3 oktas over the
central areas of the Black Sea The lowest cloud
amounts are in the SW of the area.
Coastal waters
1.142
In coastal waters in winter the average cloud
amounts are 5 to 6 oklas in S and W and 6 to
7 okras in N and E (see climate information for
average cloud amounts at a number of stations within
the area). Onshore winds produce the cloudiest
conditions particula~y where high ground rises steeply
inland from the coast. Conversely offshore winds are
often accompanied by little or no cloud, especially
where the coast is in the lee of high ground. Although
there is little variation in cloud amounts acoording to
time of day, the trend is for greater cloud amounts in
lhe morning with the possibtlity of some decrease in
the afternoon and evening.
2 In summer, average cloud amounts are 2 to 4 oklas
but around 4 to 5 oklas in the SE coastal area
between Bat'umi and Giresun. Farther W along the N
coast of Turl<ey cloud amounts decrease and Marmara
Denizi enjoys summer skies with very little cloud
(2 oktas or less). Although cloud amounts are small,
cloudiest conditions usually occur in the afternoon with
the development of large cumulus and cumulonimbus
cloud. Shower activity can form inland with the
associated convective cloud sometimes drifting
offshore to affect coastal waters.
Precipitation
Rain
1.143
Rainfall amounts are generally higher over the open
sea in winter than in summer. In coastal areas there
are very large differences in rainfall amounts across
the area At some coastal stations in the NW the
summer is slightly wetter than winter but the difference
is small with annual amounts between 200 and
500 mm and with preciprtation, usually in the form of
showers, on around 3 to 6 days per month in summer.
In the NW in winter, the number of days precipitation
recorded. usually in the fonn of rain, sleet or snow, is
around 6 to 10 per month. Elsewhere precipitation
amoonts are higher in winter than summer with the
maximum number of rain days also higher in winter
than in summer.
2 On the E coast, precipitation amounts are greater
than elsewhere and increase markedly from N to S,
with annual totals ranging from around 500 to 700 mm
in N to 2000 to 2500 mm in S around Bat'umi. Spring
and surrvner is the driest period with between 40 and
80 mm per month. Autumn is the wettest period with
precipitation amounts around 300 mm per month in
the wettest area in the S. In this area rain is recorded
on around 8 to 1 t days in spring and on 1 O to
15 days in autumn.
s On the S coast of the Black Sea there is a
pronounced seasonal variation with the largest rainfall
amounts recorded in autumn (90 to 170 mm per
month) and least in summer with monthly amounts
around 20 to 60 mm. Rain is often associated with
frontal depressions which aftect the area mainly In
vmter. Annual falls vary somewhat according to a
station's degree of exposure to N to NW winds and
the proximity of high ground. Annual falls are around
800 to 1500 mm but there is a drier region from
around Samson to Sinop where the annual rainfall is
around 700 mm. In summer the average number of
rain days is between 5 and 8 and in winter between
10 and 15 rain days.
., Over Marmara Oenizi most of the rain is recorded
in winter when depressions move across the area en
route from the Medrterranean to the Black Sea.
Average tans of 100 mm per month are recorded in
winter with slgnificant rainfall recorded on around tO
to 15 days per month.
Snow
1.144
During winter and early spring snow may fall in all
parts of the region and in some N areas, snow
frequency may equal or exceed rain frequency in
January and February. Over the open sea, snow can
fall in January and February but is rare between
October and December and March and April.
2 In all coastal areas some snow can be expected
between December and March. It is rare before
November and after Apr~. although in some N areas
snow is sometimes recorded in October and May.
 e-NP24 - TRAMMO PARIS (IMO No.lM09792515)
Snow is most frequent in the N and particularly over
the Sea of Azov in Janua,y and Februa,y where ~ is
often more frequent than rain. Blizzard conditions are
possible when snow and strong winds occur
simultaneously with almost zero visibility. The
frequency of occurrence of snow decreases from N to
S but even in the central areas of the W coast of the
Black Sea and in Qanal<l<ale Bogazi, whe<e the snow
frequency is least, snow may fall on some 3 to 4 days
per month in Janua,y and February.
3 Ground snow cover varies from region to region
around the Black Sea. Snow first settles in coastal
areas in the N in early December and eventually
disappears in late February or early March. On
average there is complete snow cover in the N for
around 20 to 30 days but in the NE and over the
Caucasus this cover increases to around 60 days. In
other regions including the N coast of Turkey, the
average number of days with lying snow is between 3
and t 5 days per year.
Thunderstorms
1.145
Thunderstorms are infrequent at sea and rare in
winter. They are most frequent on the E coast of the
Black Sea, where the annual frequency is between 25
and 45, and are most common in August. In most
other areas the annual frequency varies between 14
and 26; they are most frequent in June. However,
over Marmara Denizi thunderstorms are mos, frequent
between autumn and early spring.
Fog and visibility
1.146
Fog over the open sea is relatively rare. However,
fog occurs on 1 to 2 % of occasions in winter and
spring in central and S areas and on around 6 % of
occasions in the NW and probably slighUy higher for
the Sea of Azov. In summer the incidence of fog is
less than 1 %. Diagrams 1.146.1 to 1.146.4 give the
frequency of log for Februa,y, May, August and
November. Po0< visibilfy Qess than 2 miles) is most
likely during snow blizzards in winter and in some
instances may near fog limits of 1 km.
2 In coastal areas the highest fog frequencies are on
the N coast and around the Sea of Azov where moist
S airstreams are chilled by the cold plains and coaS1al
waters in winter, giving widespread and persistent
at times. Fog is most common in this area between
October and March with the highest incidence in
mid-winter. Odesa, Kherson and Rostov-na-Donu
particularly prone to fog. The S coast of Klyms'kyi
Pivostriv is markedly less foggy. See The Mariner's
Handbook for a description of the various types of fog,
particularly Arctic sea smoke/steam fog, and radiation
fog, which affect these N regions.
3 On the W coast of the Black Sea, and over
Marmara Oenizi, the annual incidence of fog
decreases from around 37 days in N to 6 days in S
with the majority of fog recorded in winter. Due to the
high ground bordering the E and S coasts of the
Black Sea, the frequency of fog is significanUy less
due to the considerable protection from moist S
airstreams. Monthly fog frequencies on E and S
coasts of the Black Sea vary from around 3 to 16
days and are most frequent in April with a monthly
frequency of between 1 and 5 days. Radiation fog is
the most common type of fog in S and usually forms
over night and disperses soon after sunrise.
• Snow and rain can seriously reduce the visibilfy
and around Bat'umi poor visibility is common in
precipitation in autumn.
Air temperature
1.147
There is a large seasonal temperature change from
hotsummers to almost arctic conditions in N in winter.
Over the open sea mean air temperature ranges from
around 1• to 3•c in N to 6° to 7°C in S. In summer
average air temperature across the whole of the Black
Sea is around 24• to 25•c.
2 In coastal areas, the temperatures are more varied
than over the open waters of the Black Sea. Winter
mirvmum temperatures occur in January or February,
with the lowest values on N coasts. In the extreme N
of the area. mean air temperatures are close to or
below freezing, wi1h daily minima of -3° to -5'C and
extreme minima of around -25'C. The S and SE
coasts of Kryms'kyi Pivostriv are slightly milder in
winter with a mean air temperature of around 2°C. Air
temperatures rise from N to S and, along the N coast
of Turkey, the mean daily maximum air temperature is
between 8° and 10'C and the mean daily minimum
around 3" to 4'C.
3 In summer, maximum air temperatures usuaJly
occur in Juty and August when average temperatures
vary very little throughout the region with mean daily
maximum air temperatures of between 25° and 30"C.
and minima of between 11° and 21•c. Extreme
maxmum air temperatures of 40• to 42'C have been
recorded at a number of stations wilhin the area.
Spring and autumn are periods of rapid temperature
adjustments with the largest changes occurring in
Apri/May and October/November.
• Frost may occur in all parts around the Black Sea
in winter. In N the firs! frosts usually occur in October
and the last in April. and from December to March
frosts are frequent. At many stations on N coasts and
especially around the Sea of Azov, frost can be
expected on most days in January. Frost is less
frequent over S Klyms'kyi Pivostriv. In the S part of
the area. frosts are much less frequent than in N and
usually occur from December to March but
occasionally in November and April. Even in
mid-winter tt is rare for the air temperature to remain
below freezing all day in S.
Humidity
1.148
fog Humidfy is dosely related to air temperature and
generaJty decreases as the temperature increases.
During the early morning, when the air temperature is
are normally at its lowest. humidity is generally at its
highesl. and falls to a minimum during the afternoon.
Open sea
1.149
The mean winter humidrty over the open sea is
relatively high wrth values of 80 to 85 % in W and
central areas but 75 to 80 % in SE. In summer the
vakles are around 80 % in w. falling to about 75 % in
SW.
Coastal waters
1.150
The highest hu:rrudity values are recorded in winter
on N and W coasts of the Black Sea and around the
Sea of Azov wi1h early morning values of 80 to 90 %.
The S and E coasts of the Black Sea are drier with
early morning values of around 70 to 75 %. This is
probably due to offshore winds descending from high
ground illand. In summer the lowest morning humidity

CLIMATE INFORMATION
Description of information
1.151
The climate information which follows gives data for
several coastal stations that regularly undertake
weather observations. Some of these stations have
been re-stted and so the position given is the latest
available.
It is emphasised that these data are average
conditions and refer to the specific location of the
observing station and therefore may not be totally
representative of the conditions over the open sea or
In approaches to ports in their vicinity.
43
2 The following comments briefly list some of the
differences to be expected between conditions over
the open sea and the nearest reporting station (see
The Mariner's Handbook for further details}:
Wind speeds tend lo be higher at sea than on land,
although funnelling in narrow inlets can result in an
increase in wind strength.
3 Cloud amounts at a coastal station may differ
considerably from that over the adjacent sea area.
Precipitation along mountainous wind-facing coasts
can be considerably higher than at sea to windward.
Simaarly precipttation in the lee of high ground is
generally less.
• Air temperature over the sea is less variable than
over the land,.
Topography has a marked effect on local conditions.
1.152
Closed ports. Some of the information which
follows refers to ports which are not open to
international trade. They are included here so as to
provide a more comprehensive record of conditions to
be expected in all pans of the Black Sea and Sea
of Azov.

CHAPTER 2
MARMARA DENiZi
GENERAL INFORMATION
Scope of chapter
2.1
This chapter covers Mannara Denizi (Sea of
Marmara). the stretch of water that links the
Med~erranean to the Black Sea Marmara Denizi
includes izmit Korfezi (2.227) and the straits of
i;;anakkale Bogaz, (Dardanelles) (2. 10) and istanbul
Bogaz, (Bosporus) (2.330).
2 The chapter is divided into the following sections:
<;;anal<kale Bogaz, (2.10).
Central part of Mannara Denizi including Erdek
Kortezl and lzmtt KMezl (2.80).
Port of Istanbul and approaches (2.274).
Pllotage
2.2
General remarks. Pilotage through <;;anal<kale
Bogaz, and Istanbul Bogaz, is not compulsory except
in the circumstances listed below. The constricted
passages of <;;anakkale Bogaz, and Istanbul Bogaz~
however, which contain a high density of traffic, strong
currents. and a multitude of shore lights, which tend to
obscure aids to navigation and vessels with low
powered anchor lights. can make navigation
hazardous. In view of these navigational problems and
the increasing number of accidents with their
consequent risks to life, property, and the environmenl.
the Tul1<ish authorities most strongly advise the use of
a pilot and escort tog when transiting these
waterways. This advice particulMy applies to large
vessels, and for other vessels at nfQht in adverse
weather or low visibiJity. A recent estimate shows that
about 52% of ships take pilots in the straits.
2 Pilotage is compulsory for the following areas:
i;;anakkale (2.21).
izmlt Korfezi (2.227).
Galata (2.322) and Hali9 (2.327).
Anchorages off Dolrnabahce Palace (2.346).
Tanker berths at yuboklu Lunan (2.351) and
Selvi Bumu (2.353) in Istanbul Bogaz,.
All ports in Marmara Denizi.
3 Due to heavy demand for pilots, 24 hours prior
notice should be given. Vessels between 200 and
300 m and/or 15 m draught or over should give 48 hrs
notice; and vessels over 300 m and certain specialist
types of vessels and cargoes, 72 hrs notice.
Vessels transiting Mannara Denizi from the Blad<
Sea to the Aegean should infonn the authorities
whether a pilot is required for istanbul Bogaz, only. or
for istanbul Bo~az, and i;;anakkale ~az1.
For details see ADMIRALTY List of Radio Signals
Volume 6(3).
• Pilot stations. The following pilot stations are
situated in the Turkish Straits:

«;ANAKKALE BOGAZI
GENERAL INFORMATION
Topography
2.10
<;anakkale Boga21 (Dardanelles) leads NE from the
Aegean. The NW shore of this strait is formed by the
SE side or Gelibolu Yar,madas, and its SE shore is
part ol Asiatic Turkey.
There is a marked difference in the conformation of
the two shores of the strait; its NW side is, for the
greater part, steep-to, but ifs SE side is fringed,
almost throughout its length, by a shallow bank which
extends over 5 cables offshore in some places.
2
The SE side is comparatively flal and -in
The NW side is, in general, high and broken with
steep ravines. The hills are mostly covered with scrub.
tt a wide
plain, which is watered by numerous springs and is
fertile and well cultivated, extends 30 miles SE.
67
s When the surface current in any area of c;anakkale
Bogaz, and istanbul Bogazi exceeds 7 kn traffic is
suspended in both directions until the currant speed
drops below 7 kn.
Information on the strength and direction of the
currents w~I be p,ovided by the VTS centre to the
vessels concerned.
9 Visibility. Whenever visibil~ is 2 miles or less in
any part or the StrMs, vessels passing through the
StrMS must keep their radar lumed on constantly to
provide a radar picture. On vessels with two radars,
one of them is to be assigned for the Pilot's use.
When visibility in the Straits is 1 mile or less,
maritime traffic will be permitted in one direction only.
Vessels carrying dangerous cargoes, large and
deep-draught vessels shan not enter the Straits.
When visibility in the Straits is less than 5 cables,
the traffic flow in the Straits will be closed in both
directions.
10 When visibility in the Straits is suitable for
navigation. the arrangement and order of en1ering the
Strafts will be determined and notified 10 waiting
vessels and persons concerned by the VTS centre.
Quarantine regulations
2.8
Health inspections as described in the Turkish
Straits Navigation Guide are summarized as follows:
Health inspections in <;anakkale Bogaz, may be
carried out at the entrance from the Aegean Sea just
before the pilot embarkation position or at locations
which will not affect navigational safety. These
locations are established by the VTS centres and
announced to the vessels.
Heatth inspections in istanbul Bogaz, may be
carried out just before pilot embarkation positions or at
locabons which win not affect navigational safety.
These locations are established by the VTS centres
and announced to the vessels.
Conservation
2.9
The Turkish Authorities have designated areas
where diving and underwater activities are prohibited
in order to preserve cultural and natural conditions.

CENTRAL PART OF MARMARA DENizi INCLUDING ERDEK KORFEzi AND iZMiT KORFEZi
GENERAL INFORMATION
Area covered
2.80
The area covered by this section includes:
Passage between the NE entrance of !,anakl<ale
Bogazo and the S entrance of istanbul Bogazo
(2.84).
Erdek Korfezi (2.94).
Marmara Ge9idi (2.120).
Gemlik Korfezi (2.152).
izmit Korfezi (2.227).
Topography
2.81
The central part of Marmara Deni2i is bordered
almost entirely by high and mountainous land.
Compass correction beacons
2.82
See 2.236.
Natural conditions
2.83
Currents. The general set of the current in 1he
central part of Marmara Oenizi is W towards the N
entrance of i;:anakkale Bogazo, but there are a few
variations caused by the islands and curves of lhe
coast The currents are in general much weaker than
in Istanbul Bogaz, and Qanakkale Bogazo, lhe mean
2
rate being * to a;. kn.
As it enters the central part of Marmara Denizi from
istanbul Bogazo, the water fans out and slows, fonning
three branch currents. The S branch sets towards
Adalar (2.296) and through lhe channels between lhe
islands, towards izmit K6r1ezi. A rather complex
system lies between this branch and the E shore. The
central branch flows S past Boz Bumu (40°31'·12N
28°46'·90E) to meet the S shore between Bandorma
Liman, and Gemlik Korfezi. The N branch takes a
general SW direction passing N of Marmara Adas,
(2.120) and along lhe European shore where it is
mostly rather weak. Some eddies and counter currents
may be expected in the W approaches to istanbul
Bogazo.
See current diagram 1.111.1-5.
3 Wind and weather. Winds from NE are most
frequent but are occasionally inte<rupted by winds from
S. If strong, these S winds often bring rain and squally
weather. The NE wind is more regular in the NE part,
rather than the S or W parts of the area. Sometimes.
even when the breeze is fresh, it will not be felt on
the S shore.
4 Local magnetic anomaly. Local deftection of the
compass has been reported (1963) to occur in lhe
vicinity of imrali Adas, (2.152) and in the channel S of
the island.

28'59'-97E} and Ot1akoy Mosque (1·3 miles ENE). An
anchorage lies within this area, allocated to passenger
ships.
2 Cautions. The position of the dividing line between
the main S-going current and the counter current is
not constant and at times will pass through this
anchorage area. If this sauation should arise, there is
a danger that ships at anchor will swing In opposite
directions, with the consequent risk of collision if their
berths are not sufficiently far apart.

CHAPTER 3
SOUTH PART OF THE BLACK SEA
GENERAL INFORMATION
Scope of the chapter
3.1
The area covered by this chapter includes the S
part of the Black Sea between the N approaches to
Istanbul Bogaz1 (Bosporus) and the Georgian ports of
Bat'umi (41°39'·00N 41°39'·00E) and P'ofi (42°09'-00N
41°39'·00E). The E part of the N limit of this area
follows. in general, the median line between Turt<ey
and Georgia.
2 The chapter Is arranged as follows:
Offshore passages (3.7).
Istanbul Bogaz, to Bartin Lunan, (3.12).
Bartin Limam to Kerempe Bumu (3.82).
Kerempe Burnu to Boztepe Burnu (3.99).
Boztepe Burnu to Yasun Bumu (3.119).
Yasun Bumu to the Turl<ey-Georgia
border (3.170).
Topography
3.2
Coast of Turkey. The S shore of the Black Sea.
which trends in an E direction for about 600 miles lrom
the N entrance of is1anbul Bogaz, to just beyond the
Georgia·Turkey border, is divided into two distinct
regions; a coastal and an inland belt
2 The rainy coastal belt rises steeply from the sea
and is thickly forested. The high land of the inland
belt, which is traversed by deep valleys, consists
mainly of worn plateau blocks standing up as
mountains, many of which are extinct volcanoes.
3 The difference between the two regions is more
marked in the E where high mountains lie between the
W coast and the more arid hinterland. In the W, where
altitudes are lower. the change is more gradual.
Between Ere~li and inebolu the coastal belt differs
from the remainder and consists of wide parallel
valleys and wooded hills.

Ottomans later retreated to Istanbul.

Butgarian girts, who preferred to tie their hair together
and jump into the sea, instead of being captured by
the Ottomans.

Danube Delta
Topography
5.15
I The delta of the River Danube, covering an area of
over 4500 km2, stretches from the takes backing the
coast near Portita (44°40'·50N 28°59'·00E) (4.172) to
Bukhta Zhebriians'ka (60 miles NE) (5.128), a bay
which forms the approaches to the Ukrainian port of
usr-Dunais'k (45°2s·-00N 29°42'·00E).
5.16
There are two main entrance channels to the
Danube which join some 40 mies from the sea. They
are from S, BraJul Sfintu Gheorghe (5.60) and Bra!UI
Surina (5.18). The N entrance to Kiflys'ke Hyrlo (5.116)
is via Ust'-Dunays'k and the Connecting Channel, this
entrance is not for major sea-going vessels. It Is
estimated that these branches take 24%, 9% and 67%
of the river water, respectivety.
2 Braiul Sulina. which was largely canalised in the
late nineteenth century. is the main commercial
channel used by sea-going vessels visiting the
maritime river ports, including lzmayil (5.110) and Kiliya
(5.105).
lntemational boundaries
5.17
The international boundary between Romania,
Ukraine and the S border of Moldova follows the
Danube between its junction with the river Prut,
2miles W of the port of Reni (45°27'·48N 28°15'·71E)
and the sea. The river Prut at 950 km long, is the
second longest tributary of the Danube and is
navigable from the mouth to the village of Sculeni
(Km 445). In the delta the boundary follows Kiliys'ke
Hyrlo and reaches the coast 4 miles N of Sulina
(45°09'-40N 29°39'·00E). The seaward extension of
the intemational boundary is marked by buoys

3 Water levels in Onistrovs'kyi Lyman are determined
by the level of Rika Onister, which is highest in the
spring and lowest in the autumn. NW winds reduce
water levels in the S part of the inlet to 0·5 m below
mean level.
Currents. When winds are from NW, strong
currents out of Dnistrovs'kyi Lyman have been
observed which make entry to the inlet and anchorage
near the channel dangerous. Navigation is prohibited
when the rate of the current is in excess of 4 kn.

Approaches to Oniprovs'kyi Lyman. Between Mys
Adzhyias'k (46°36'·10N 31°21'-00E) and Mys
Ochakivs'kyi (8 miles EJ, the coast forms a bight at the
head of which lies Berezans'kyi Lyman (6.123), Which
is entered between two sandy spits, the W of Which is
low-lying.
Ostriv Berezan' (46'36'-00N 31°24'·50E) fies within

inlet in the Black Sea. It is lonned by the confluence
of the Pivdennyi Buh (6.135) and Rika Dnipro (6.221).
• The N shore of this estuary has for its whole length
an almost even elevation of about 45 m and consists
of darl< yellow or reddish clay bluffs, broken by
numerous gullies or valleys. There are many villages
along the whole of this shore.
5 The S shore of the estuary. which is forme<I by
Klnbums'ka Kosa, is low, sandy and desolate in
appearance. In places there are sandy hillocks and in
others smaD groves of trees and bushes. High rushes
grow along almost the whole of this shore.
In the deeper parts of the estuary the nature of the
bottom is mud with sandy ridges.

• Ice forms every year in Dniprovs'kyi Lyman
covering the shoal and fresh water areas. Only the
mouths of the rivers freeze over completely; in the
estuary itself the ice often breaks up and even
disappears for short periods.

6.123
Berezans'kyi Lyman extends about 14 miles NNE
from ijs entrance (46'38'·00N 31°25'·50E) to its head,
into which flows Rika Berezan·. There are numerous
vilages on the shores of the estuary, bul the only one
visible from seaward is Viktorivka, situated on the W
shore about 1 'h miles within the entrance.
2 The entrance to Berezans1<yi Lyman is approached
on the af,gnment (319·2°) of a pair of leading beacons
along a channel, whose total length is 3·1 miles and
width 100 m. The initial leg of the channel is through
the flat that fronts the entrance, with a least depth of
2·5 m in this section: the channel is not regularly
mai'ltained. The channel continues on the alignment
(001') of a pair of leading beacons, whose position
may be seen on Iha chart. The front and rear beacons
are in n,ins (2012).
3 Cautions. A least depth of 1 ·2 m is located in
posi1ion 46'38.·00N 31'25'·50E, close SE of the
middle of the third leg of the channel.
Between parallels 46'37'-00N and 46'37'·30N the
wxtth of the channel is 50 m. E of the mid channel
depths are 08 to t ·4 m (2003) in this section.
Navigation in Berezans'kyi Lyman is dangerous due
to poor maintenance of navigation aids.
, Berths. A 60 m long jetty lies close NE of the
entrance on the W shore. There are 2 berths at
Andriievo-Zoryne (Andreyevo-Zorino) (46°46'·1 ON
31°!31"·70E), an oil and silo jetty, with depths alongside
of 2·9 to 3 m and 3 to 3·2 m respectively; a channel
dredged to 3 m (1989) leads to the berths. An earth
darn, reinforced with shell and granite, 3 m high, 20 m
wide and with a road along the top, lies close N of the
port.
s Sosyts'kyi Lyman leads through the greatest depths
from Berezans'kyi Lyman to Sosyts'kyi Lyman. The
fairway is not marked by floating navigation aids.
There is one berth alongside a jetty at Novoselivka
(46°45.·00N 31 '27'·00E) with depths alongside of 2·5
to 2'9 m. A channel dredged lo 3 m (1989) leads to

2 The entrance to the river valley can be identified by
a broad. light yellow shingle beach, a rounded hill on
its W side and a hill tenminating in a grey-coloured
cliff on its E side. Several buildings, including some
conspicuous five-storey ones, are located among the
greenery on the banks at the river mouth. Vineyards
are also clearly visible on the hillsides in the vicinity of
the river entrance.
Bukhta Vulan
7.143
Anchorage can be obtained abreast the mouth of
Reka Vulan (44'21'·35N 38'31'·60E) in a depth of
27 m, mud and shells. Depths decrease gradually, with
depths of 9 m, 3 cables from the shore.
Cautlon. Two outfalls extend up to 1 'h miles S from
the river mouth and two gas pipelines extend generally
SW towards the Turkish coast. from a position 3 miles

CHAPTER 8
KEACH STRAIT AND SEA OF AZOV
GENERAL INFORMATION
Scope of the chapter
8.1
The area covered by lhis chapter includes Kereh
Strait and its S approaches, Kerch-Yenikal ChaMel
and Sea of Azov.
Topography
8.2
Sea of Azov. known to lhe Russians as Azovskoye
More and to the Ukrainians as Azovs'ke More. is
Joined to lhe Blaek Sea by Kerch Strait, a strait that
separates the Kerch and Taman penu,sulas. The Sea
of Azov has an area of about 38 000 kJn2, a maximum
depth of 14m and is the wor1d's shallowest sea.
2 The districts bordering this sea are remarkable for
their a,gricult\Jral and mineral wealth. There are large
coal and iron deposits in the basin of Reka Don
(8.233} and oil reserves in the basin of Reka Kuban'
(8. 170).
3 The waters of the Sea of Az.ov have a greenish
muddy colour, and are very opaque on account of the
large amount of silt carried down by the rivers which
flow into lhe sea. There are also large quantities of
plankton and by the end of lhe summer, lhe surface
becomes almost completely covered wl1h a greenish
brown seaweed.
International boundary
8.3
The international boundary between Ukraine and
Russia passes through the Kerch Strait (8.13).
Hazards
8.4
The shores in this chapter are encumbered by
shallow banks. wrecks and obs1ructions. Wrecks and
obstructions can also be found within lhe limits of TSS
schemes. recommended routes. anchorage areas and
approaches to ports. Some of lhe more pertinent
hazards are marked by virtual AlS.
Ports
8.5
The following ports, which are open to international
trade, are described in this chapter:
Port Taman' (45'07'·85N 36°4t'·t5'E) (8.34).
Port Kavkaz (45'20'·46N 36°40'·08E} (8.76).

Rostov-na-Donu (4r12'·SON 39'41"·58E) (8.247).
Pilotage
8.6
Pilotage is compulsory, under Ukrainian regulations,
for all vessels in Kerch- Yenikal Channel, Kereh Strait
and to and from the ports of Berdyansk (8.92) and
Mariupol (8.121 ); and includes entry to, and departJJre
from, all Ukrainian ports within lhe Sea of Azov.
2 Pilotage is compulsory, under Russian Federation
regulations, between Kerch Strait and all Russian
Federation ports within lhe Sea of Azov.
271
The pilotage service for Kerch- Yenikal Channel and
lhe Sea of Azov is based on the port of Kerch'
(45422'-00N 36'29'·00E) which is the base of the
Eastern Black Sea Pilotage District and provides pilots
for au vessels proceeding from the Black Sea to ports
in the Sea of Azov.

Regulatttd and former mine danger areas
8.8
Ukrainian and Russian regulated areas and former
mine danger areas lie off the coast covered by this
chapter; see Appendices 3 and 6 for details.

8.9
See 1.55.
Natural conditions in the Sea of Azov
8.10
Currents in the Sea of Azov are due to the
combined effects of two independent causes: the
discharge from Reka Don into lhe Gulf of Taganrog
and the action of the wind.
2 The outflow from Reka Don. issuing from the Gulf
of Taganrog, travels W along the N coast, trends S
along Kosa Arabats·ka Strilka (8.151) and is lhen
diverted E along lhe S shore. Where part of It is
deflected lhrough Kerch Strait into the Black Sea.
Beyond Kerch Strait the current trends NE and N,
strengthened by the discharge from Reka Kuban'.
Around the carcumference of the sea, clockwise
eddies, formed within prominent points, produce the
characteristically-shaped spits and flats.
3 The prevailing winds in the Sea of Azov are mostly
NE and SW, lheir influence upon the currents being
greater than that of the Reka Don outtlow. Wrth a NE
wild. a SW current occupies most of the sea and the
NE current is squeezed against the E coast. A SW
wind produces a similar current in the opposite
direction, thus enhancing the anti-ck)c.kwise circulation.
• The mean current speed in lhe Sea of Azov is less
lhan 'h kn, but lhe current caused by winds, especially
alter gates. can attain speeds of 1 'h to 2'h kn.

Ice. Between mid December and late February,
navigation in the Sea of A2.ov is often greatty hindered
by ice and in many cases can only be maintained with
lhe aid of icebreakers. Navigation is likely to be most
dilficutt off lhe N shore, the entrance lo the Gulf of
Taganrog, and also with prolonged N or NE winds, in
the approach to Kerch Strait See I. I 22 and diagrams
(1.122.1 and 1.122.2).

Watttr level. The water level in the Sea of Azov is
subject to considerable change. The water level is
highest in June and lowest in lhe autumn. The mean
yearly range is between 0·25 and O·S m, but these

Topography
8.168
The coast between Mys Kamennyy (45°27' -04N
36°51 '·40E} and Mys Achuyevskiy (35 miles ENE)
forms the shores of Temryukskiy Zaliv. The SW and S
shores of this bay are generaUy bluff with steep
reddish cliffs in places. The E shore is low and mostty
covered in reeds, but there are a number of shell
beaches.
Hazards
8.169
Fishing nets. Between Kerch Strait and
Temryukskiy Zaliv there are numerous fishing nets
lying within 5 miles of the coast. As these nets are
unmarked and their positions frequently change.
mariners should exercise particular caution when
navigating along this stretch of the coast
2 Volcanic action. In 1929 a volcanic eruption
resulted in an islet being formed about 8 cables E of
Temryukskiy Light (45°19.·82N 37°13'·87E} and 1 cable
offshore. This islet was subsequently washed away
leaving an area with depths of about 1 m in its place.
3 In 1988 a further eruption took place 1 ~ miles E of
the light. about 1 Y, cables offshore, resulting in an
Island being formed. This island was 60 m long. 30 m
wide and 3 m high but has since been gradually
eroded.
Mariners should exercise caution when navigating in
these areas.
Natural conditions
