PASSING AND OVERTAKING PROHIBITIONS:
There are permanent passing and overtaking prohibitions in Helsinki VTS area 1 as
follows:
(1) In the 9·6m channel in the northern part of the Vuosaari Channel between latitudes
60°11′·10N and 60°12′·50N.
(2) In the 7·9m channel in Särkänsalmi Strait between latitudes 60°08′·80N and
60°09′·10N.
(3) In the Kustaanmiekka Strait between latitudes 60°08′·10N and 60°08′·60N.
NOTICES OF DEPARTURE:
(1) All vessels, except those in liner traffi c sailing according to a published timetable,
must give a preliminary notice of departure after berthing. Any changes to the time of
departure indicated in the notice of departure or in the published liner traffi c timetable
must be reported to VTS as soon as possible. If a vessel departs later than the time
reported in the notice of departure the vessel must immediately report this to the
VTS.
(2) The VTS uses the data in the notice of departure for advance planning of the use of
the fairway and the ice-breaking in the harbour area. The procedure of giving a notice
of departure does not apply to piloted vessels.
PROCEDURES IN THE APPROACH CHANNEL TO HELSINKI WEST
HARBOUR:
(1) Helsinki VTS organises inward-bound and outward-bound vessels to the West
Harbour according to the schedules submitted by the vessels in advance.
(2) Vessels leaving the Helsinki West Harbour must submit a departure report in order
to be granted permission to depart by the VTS. During strong winds (maximum wind
speed 15 m/s) the vessel will not be granted permission to depart if another vessel,
with a length over 200m, is already in or about to enter the manoeuvring basin.
(3) Inward-bound vessels are advised well in advance on the order in which to enter
the channel. The order is based on the agreed berthing times obtained by the Port of
Helsinki.

PROCEDURES IN THE VUOSAARI CHANNEL:
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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. The procedure regarding permission to depart also
applies to vessels moving from one berth to another berth in the harbour area.
(4) 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.
(5) In strong winds (mean wind speed 13 m/s or more), 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.
