PROCEDURES IN THE VUOSAARI CHANNEL:
(1) There is a permanent passing and overtaking prohibition in the 11·0m channel
in the northern part of the Vuosaari Channel between latitudes 60°11′·10N and
60°12′·50N. This prohibition does not apply to passing and overtaking when one of
the vessels is a tug.
(2) In order to ensure the safe and smooth fl ow of traffi c, the VTS organises the
traffi c entering the area where passing and overtaking is prohibited. The organisation
of vessel traffi c departing from Vuosaari Harbour includes a procedure for issuing
clearance for departure.
(3) When a vessel gives a binding departure report 15 mins prior to unmooring, the
VTS grants or denies clearance for departure depending on the traffi c situation. The
VTS does not grant clearance for departure if there is an inward-bound vessel in the
channel, which has passed Itätoukki, reported 15 mins to Kuiva Hevonen or entered
the area from the E from another sector.
(4) If the vessel is not ready to depart within 15 mins and there is other traffi c waiting
for its turn to enter the area where passing and overtaking is prohibited, the vessel
loses its turn. In this case the vessel must give a new report to the VTS before being
granted clearance for departure.
(5) Vessels reporting at Itätoukki, entering Sector 1 area from the E or reporting 15
mins prior to passing Kuiva Hevonen, will be given information by the VTS about
meeting traffi c and other information relevant for the safe passage of the vessel.
(6) In strong winds, the VTS recommends that vessels in the Vuosaari Channel only
meet south of Östra Rödhällen. The VTS does not organise vessels meeting outside
the passing and overtaking prohibition area, but vessels are requested to agree among
themselves on safe passage.
