HARIMA NADA ~ KURUSHIMA KAIKYO[Replaced by new image]

Harima Nada (Chart JP106)
General Information.
5

Harima Nada is an area surrounded by Awaji Shima and Shodo Shima in E and W and by

Shikoku and Honshu in S and N. In the center there is a track (Harima Nada Koro), which is a recommended track. The
distance between Akashi Kaikyo and the E entrance of Bisan Seto is about 40M.
In the northern area there is a large vessel navigating in and out of Higashi-Harima Ko, Himeji Ko and Aioi Ko andmany small vessels navigating E and W bound in Seto Naikai.
In the southern area there are not many sunken rocks. The area near Ieshima Shoto in the N is dotted with sand10

shallows and reefs. And all over coast of N and S in Harima Nada, there are many fixed nets and raising facilities.
This chapter describes in the order of the recommended track between the W entrance of Akashi Kaikyo and the E
entrance of Bisan Seto, the coastal route of Honshu in the N, the route along the W coast of Awaji Shima and thecoastal route of Shikoku between Naruto Kaikyo and the E entrance of Bisan Seto.
Tidal currents.

15

The current flows east-or westbound in Harima Nada except for Naruto Kaikyo, with the current

velocity of about 2.5kn at the vicinity of the E entrance of Bisan Seto, and about 1.5kn at the eastern area of Harima
Nada and southern and northern side of Shodo Shima, respectively. The condition of tides is mostly the same as at
Akashi Kaikyo. However, the current velocity at the center of Harima Nada is about 0.5kn with inconsistent current
directions.

20

W entrance of Akashi Kaikyo ~ E entrance of Bisan Seto (Charts JP106, JP137 A, W150B)
General Information.

Near the W entrance of Akashi Kaikyo there are shallow parts both in the S and N sides of

the recommended track but the depth is over 20m within 1M from the center line of the track. In the center of Harima
Nada there are no dangerous reefs but there are no good landmarks either.
There are many liner services connecting Honshu and Shikoku. In the E coast of Harima Nada, there are many
25

dangerous reefs, fixed nets and aquaculture facilities. And as there are fishing grounds for Stow-nets fishery and Spanish
mackerel drift-net fishery (Refer to the section of Fishery in “Chapter 7 NAVIGATIONAL PRECAUTIONS” of Part 1
on page 12.), caution must be paid to the fishing boats in operations and the fishing nets.

is a big bay. There is a coastal industrial zone lies between Niihama Ko and Nyugawa Ko, and in some places of thiscoast there are drying mud bars or sand banks extending about 1M from the shore and a 10m contour lies 1 to 3M offshore.
Anchorage.

Except for the area near Mi Saki, the area around 1M from the shore is good conditions for anchorage

in depth and bottom material with weak currents.

S entrance of Ondo-no-Seto(Photographed in October 2016)

5

General information.

Ondo-no-Seto lies between N of Kurahashi Shima and the coastal shore of Honshu (peninsulain the S of Kure-shi) and is a track for small vessels navigating between the E part of Aki Nada and Hiroshima Wan. The
navigable width (5m or more in depth) at the narrowest channel is only about 60m. The visibility of fairway is bad andthe current is rapid. High-speed vessels and car ferries sail frequently and ferry boats cross the fairway. And near thechannel, there are cultivating rafts laid. In case vessels navigating N from the S entrance, they should enter the channel
10

after reaching the point where they can get an unobstructed view of the fair in order to avoid head-on with S-bound vessels.
Most of vessels navigating are less than 500t.
Tidal currents.

The S (N)-going current begin to flow from about one hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours after low(high) water. First maximum current flows about one hour and 30 minutes after the time of the turn of tide. The S-goingcurrent velocity is about 4kn at spring tides and about 2kn at neap tides. The N-going current velocity is about 4kn at
15

spring tides and about 2 to 3kn at neap tides. Then after the current velocity is reduced, the current speed is the minimized
about 3 hour and 30 minutes after the time of the turn of tide (slack water or counter current sometimes ocuurs). Thenagain S (N)-going current velocity is increased. Second maximum current flows about 4 hour to 5 hours after the time of
the turn of tide. The S-going current velocity is about 3 to 4kn at spring tides and about 2kn at neap tides, the N-goingcurrent velocity is about 3 to 4kn at spring tides and about 2 to 3kn at neap tides. Then after the current velocity is reduced.

20

The N (S)-going current turns about 6 hours after the time of the turn of tide.
