Navigation

Port limits: The port limits start at Huangbaizui Lighthouse (approx 38°54.2'N 121°42.5'E); run through Dasanshan Island Lighthouse (approx 38°52.4'N 121°49.5'E); through the Dangerous Reef Beacon (approx 38°57.8'N 121°59.2'E) to Shayuzui (approx 39°02.4'N 121°57.6'E).
Sea buoys, fairways and channels: Vessels entering and leaving Dalian port should keep to the Dasanshan Channel situated between Dasanshan Island and Huangbaizui in accordance with the Dasanshan Traffic Separation Scheme. The channel width is 4.7nm, depth 13-42m. The route has a separation zone 0.3nm in width with a lane on either side.
To enter and leave the various dock areas there are the following fairways:

Fairway	Length (m)	Depth CD (m)	Width (m)
Xianglujiao	2,800	8.0	100
Dagang	3,500	10.0	-

Ships applying for anchorage should contact Dalian Xingang Signal Station one hour prior to entering the port and should anchor as directed.
Tidal range and flow: The minimum tidal range is 0.6m, the maximum is 4.6m with the average spring and neap ranges being 2.9m and 2.6m respectively. The mean sea level is 1.6m.
Tide runs W during flood and E during ebb with a rate of 0.5-1.0kt.
Humidity level ranges from 61% in Winter and 86% in Summer.
Dock density: 1025.
Weather: Prevailing winds: N-NW'ly from Oct to Mar and S-SE'ly from Apr to Aug.
Ice: The port is never closed by ice but from Jan to Mar between 5cm and 20cm may be experienced but this causes no problems for steel hulled ships.
Precipitation and fog: Average annual rainfall is approx 600mm. Jun and Jul are the foggiest months but fog occurs all year round. Annual temperature varies between -5°C in January and +23°C in July.
Foggy days increase at the start of Spring and disappears after September. Long lasting foggy weather in July may impact on vessels entry/exit from the port.
Principal navigation aids: There are several lighthouses and beacons in the area with ranges of 2.5nm to 23nm. The most powerful is Dasanshan Island Lighthouse (Fl W 10s) with a range of 23nm.
The following are main light stations and their positions:

Name	Latitude	Longitude

Charts: BA 3694. Admiralty Pilot NP32, NP286(4).
Traffic schemes: To enforce the port traffic control and safety of navigation all vessels passing through Dasanshan Channel should observe the Traffic Separation Scheme.
There is a separation zone in the S section of the channel and a separation line in the N section. The separation zone is 3nm in width with a traffic lane 1.5nm wide on each side measured from the centre of the zone.
On either side of the separation zone and the separation line there are traffic lanes. On the outside of the traffic lanes there are inshore traffic zones for small vessels under 20m in length.
Located at the N end of the separation zone's centre line is a mid channel buoy "H1". The space within the N half of the circle, radius of 0.6nm, is a warning zone.
Upon entering the Dasanshan Channel, ships should immediately notify Dalian Harbour Superintendency by VHF and remain in close contact thereafter.
Vessels in Dasanshan Channel shall proceed in the appropriate traffic lane in the general direction of flow for that lane. Vessels shall not enter or cross a separation zone or separation line. Ships so doing, in an emergency, should return to their specified lane as soon as possible so as not to endanger other traffic.
Vessels shall usually enter and leave traffic lanes at the end of the lane and when entering or leaving from either side shall do so at as small an angle to the general direction of traffic as is practicable.
Vessels bound for Dagang dock areas should enter Dagang Main Fairway via the warning zone after passing through the traffic separation lane. Vessels bound for the Ganjingzi or Xianglujiao dock areas navigating along the general direction of traffic should turn into the Ganjingzi Fairway near Buoy "H2". Ships leaving these dock areas should enter the general direction of traffic near the same buoy.
Vessels bound for the Dagang dock area, the Siergou dock area or proceeding to the Quarantine anchorages W of the separation line should display a two flag signal, "First Substitute" over "W" by day and a white over two red lights in a vertical line at night.
Dalian Wan Vessel Traffic Service controls the area W of Dasanshan Dao Light, within the Position Reporting Line, an arc of semi-circle, radius 12nm.
Dayao Wan Port Control controls the area to the E of Dasanshan Dao Light, within the position Reporting line, an arc of semi circle, radius 12nm.
Call 'Huangbai Zui Monitoring Station' VHF Ch 06.
