Paragraph 2 TODO-GA-SAKI ~ KINKASAN

1520(Chart JP54)
General information. The Coast between Kabu Shima in Hachinohe Ko and Oshika Hanto has been dedicated as
Sanriku Fukko National Park (designated on March 31, 2015). The coastline between Todo-ga-Saki and Kinkasan isextremely rugged forming a Ria Coast. Many bays and inlets lie along the coast, but most of which, except Yamada
Wan and Ofunato Wan, are open to the E and subjected to swell.
Generally deep water lies close to the shore. However, islands and dangerous reefs are interspersed along the shore.
Especially both O Ne (s), each of which is located outside Yamada Wan and Otsuchi Wan, vessels should exercise caution
when navigating along the coast. In the vicinity of Ohako Saki (39° 21' N, 142° 00' E), tidal races may be experienced
when tidal currents and S winds meet.
Along this coasts, there are Kamaishi, Ofunato and some other ports which are classified as Port Designated by Port
Regulations Law. In addition, there are anchorages for large vessels such as Yamada Wan, Kesennuma Wan, Ogatsu Wan
and Onagawa Wan.

Precaution for entering the port. In the case of vessels intending to enter to Shiogama Ku, should be kept enough
distance from O Ne Light Buoy (38° 15′ 56.2′′ N, 141° 09′ 51.5′′ E, Morse code A (・―), Green light, every 8s) andOki-no-Taka Ne Light Bouy (38° 17′ 26.8′′ N, 141° 09′ 18.5′′ E, Morse code B (―・・・), Green light, every 8s) andbe navigated on the E of those. In addition, the precautions below are necessary after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
1. Public quays (water depths of 4.5 m or greater) may be tentatively used; however, before entering port, detailed

Overhead cables. An overhead cable (38° 20.0' N, 141° 06.3' E; 24 m high) spans between the NE coast of Katsura
Shima and the W coast of Nono Shima, and another one (38° 20.3' N, 141° 07.0' E; 25 m high) between the E coast of
Nono Shima and the W coast of Sabusawa Shima. Besides that it is also in between the E coast of Sabusawa Shima and
Miyato Shima (38° 20.3' N, 141° 07.9' E, 15m high).
Anchorage. The anchorage in the outer harbour of Sendai-Shiogama Ko is protected on the E side by the reefs
around Funairi Shima and Karakai Shima and on the S side by reefs extending to the NE from Hanabuchi Saki; it issuitable for vessels, 6 m or less in draughts, but the holding ground is not very good with sandy bottom. In the vicinityof the anchorage E of Karakai Shima, waves may suddenly rise in strong E to SE winds due to the shape of the sea bed,so care is necessary to prevent dragging anchor andshifting cargoes. It should be noted that aquaculture facilities of seaweed are laid N of a line joining Mizu Shima andthe N extremity of Funairi Shima, and the N side of the anchorage situated E of Karakai Shima.
A quarantine anchorage (38° 18.5' N, 141° 08.5' E) is provided at the entrance of Shiogama Ku, and another one inposition (38° 13.2' N, 141° 06.5' E) SE of Sendai Ku. The designated anchorages for vessels carrying dangerous

beaches of stones and sand with Wada Hana located almost in the center. The lands around the lower reaches of Abe
Kawa and Oi Kawa are flat but in the area N of Oi Kawa is a mountainous region with Udo Yama and Takakusa Yamalying close to the shore.
The area S of Katsumada Kawa estuary (34° 44' N, 138° 14' E) forms a trapezoidal shaped tableland, 90 m high. Thereis no high peak on the inland up to about 20 km from the coast.
The 10 m depth contour runs around 0.5 M offshore. The waters near Miho Saki and Wada Hana are deep to the shore
and there are many dangerous reefs scattered in the vicinity of Omae Saki.

Paragraph 6 ISE WAN(Chart JP1051)
General information. This bay is entered to the NNW about 35 M along the W side of Chita Hanto. The entrance,
between Irago Misaki and Toshi Shima, is about 6 M wide. The deepest part mainly runs in mid-bay along the coast of
Chita Hanto from the entrance to off the estuary of Ibi Kawa. The depth is more or less 35 m except in the vicinity ofthe entrance. The bottom is flat and consists of mud. The water in the bay gets shallower as going from the deepest area
to the shore. The 20 m depth contour on the SW coast of Chita Hanto (the area between Toyohama Ko ~ Noma Saki)
comes close to about 500 m from the shore; in other area, it lies mostly about 3 M offshore.
Aquaculture facilities such as seaweed are laid within 1.2 M along the coast of the bay.
Under calm weather, temporary anchorages are obtainable anywhere in the bay.
Ise Wan is a water to which the Maritime Traffic Safety Law is applied.

COASTAL ROUTES AND HARBOURS

Safeguards against Typhoon and Tsunami. In order to prevent accidents caused by tsunamis, etc., the Owase Port
Typhoon/Tsunami Countermeasures Council has been established to provide guidance to vessels in port regarding
disaster prevention measures, such as the dissemination of information, warning systems, evacuation, and therecommendation or lifting of port entry restrictions. (Inquiries: Owase Coast Guard Office).
Weather. E wind prevails from April to September; swells often enter the port in strong wind. W wind is dominantfrom October to next March, which gives the port little disturbance.
Tides. In Owase Ko, mean higher high water is 1.5 m, mean lower low water is 0.4 m, and mean sea level is 1.04m.
The largest vessel to enter the port. On March 20, 1989, the oil tanker “MINOTAVROS”(68,630 t, draught 15.3m) berthed at Owase-Mita construction site Pier.
Directions.
1. Large vessels normally pass through between Warigame Shima and Nage Ishi.
(1) From the quarantine anchorage (See item “Anchorage”), steer for Warigame Shima (34° 05.2' N, 136° 14.5' E),
bearing 293°.
(2) When Nageishi Light (34° 04.7' N, 136° 14.9' E) abeam, alter course to 258° with Suzume Shima (34° 04.7' N,
136° 13.3' E), a brown rocky islet, 17 m high to the top of trees, ahead, then pass through between Warigame Shima andNage Ishi.
(3) When the E extremity of Warigame Shima abeam, alter course to 245° and proceed to the appropriate anchorage.
2. Small vessels normally pass through between Nage Ishi and Sabaru Shima (34° 04.3' N, 136° 15.2' E).
(1) Near the quarantine anchorage, steer for the S extremity of Suzume Shima, bearing 274°, then pass throughmidway between Nage Ishi and Sabaru Shima.
(2) When Owase Ko Hitose Light Buoy (34° 04.5' N, 136° 14.6' E) abeam, alter course to 264° with Owase Ko No.1
Breakwater Light (34° 04.4' N, 136° 12.4' E) ahead, then proceed to anchorage. In taking this route, attention must be
paid to the strong influence of tidal currents.
Precautions for entering the port.
1. When entering or leaving the basin protected by breakwaters at the head, attention must be paid to the movementsof other vessels, as No.1 and No.2 Breakwaters are so high that they may obstruct the clear view.
2. In the season for pole and line fishery from April to August, traffic of fishing vessels to and from this port isextremely heavy. In the water around the entrance between Sawa Saki and Miki Saki, numbers of fishing vessels withfish lumps may be encountered at night. In such situation, approaching to the quarantine anchorage is dangerous.
3. The crossing situations often develop with the fishing vessels coming from Hikimoto Ko area.
Overhead cable. A power transmission cable, 30 m high, spans between Toga Shima and Semoto Hana (34° 03.7'
N, 136° 15.2' E).
Anchorage. The quarantine anchorage, 60 ~ 67 m deep, is located in the vicinity of a position (34° 04.4' N, 136° 16.5'
E), NE of Toga Shima. There are aquaculture facilities near the quarantine anchorage, so it is necessary to be careful.
When a vessel is to anchor outside the breakwater, it is advisable to use an area enclosed by a line drawn from Owase
Ko No.1 Breakwater Light to the S end of Suzume Shima, thence to the W end of Owase-Mita construction site Pier,
thence to the N end of the groin of the reclaimed land for Chubu Electric Power Owase-Mita construction site, except
an area within a radius of 500 m from Owase-Mita construction site Pier (As dangerous situations will develop whena large vessel is to be berthed to or unberthed from Owase-Mita construction site Pier.).
Around the water where the S extremity of Suzume Shima bears 062° with a distance of 850 m, 20 m deep and muddy
bottom, is a good anchorage.
, except an area within a radius of 500 m from Owase-Mita Thermal Power Station Pier (As dangerous situations willdevelop when a large vessel is to be berthed to or unberthed from Owase-Mita construction site Pier.).
Around the water where the S extremity of Suzume Shima bears 062° with a distance of 850 m, 20 m deep and muddy
bottom, is a good anchorage.
