) <strong>the</strong> minimum fairway draft is a sum of <strong>the</strong> allowed vessel draft and <strong>the</strong> safety distance above<br />
<strong>the</strong> waterway bottom. For new and newly adjusted waterways <strong>the</strong> value is 1,20 + 0,30 m for<br />
category 0.; 2,20 + 0,50 m for category I. and 2,80 + 0,50 m for categories IV., Va., Vb.<br />
The safety distance from <strong>the</strong> bottom of a waterway to <strong>the</strong> bottom of a vessel (margin) is<br />
1. in a river<br />
at least 0,30 m, for new and newly adjusted waterways at least 0,50 m;<br />
2. in a channel<br />
at least 0,30 m for category 0.,<br />
at least 1,00 m for categories IV., Va., Vb.,<br />
c) <strong>the</strong> minimum curve radius of a fairway<br />
400 m for category I., 650 m for categories IV., Va., 800 m Vb.<br />
(2) The fairway is wider in <strong>the</strong> curve depending <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> length of <strong>the</strong> design formati<strong>on</strong> and<br />
<strong>the</strong> curve radius.<br />
