vessels entering into the port occasionally experience snowstorms and difficulties with navigation. Therefore, if
the chimneys in Kamiiso Factory of Taiheiyo Cement Corp. (41° 49′ N, 140° 38′ E) or their lights can not beseen, vessels should not attempt entering into the port for a while.
Anchorage. If vessels need to delay entering into the port for a while, the anchorage (depth: 18 m, bottom:
sand and mud) in the vicinity of the area 135° about 0.8 M from Hakodate Ko Outside Taiheiyo Cement
Sea-berth Light (41° 48.1′ N, 140° 39.3′ E) is suitable.

Port classification. Specified port, Open port, Quarantine port, Immigration port, Domestic animal
quarantine port, Plant protection port, International hub port.
General information. Muroran Ko situates on the E shore of Uchiura Wan and consists of three sections
from 1 to 3 and a passage. This port is a good natural harbour about 1 to 2 M in width and indented about 4 M.
However, as the port entrance opens to the NW and the hinterland on its E side lies low the water, even within
the harbour, can be considerably rough when W winds blow.
Muroran Ko is visited by many tankers and ore carriers, with the amount of cargo handled being the second in
Hokkaido after Tomakomai Ko.
Gales blow most often in winter (from November to next February) and the average number of days withwesterly winds with a speed of 10 m/s or more can reach 10 to 15 days or more.
Safeguards against Typhoon and Tsunami. In order to prevent marine disasters caused by typhoon,tsunami etc., Typhoon and Tsunami etc. Measures Special Interest Group of Muroran Traffic Safety Council isestablished to issue information on typhoons, tsunamis etc. to vessels and relevant parties in the port, and gives
countermeasures to be taken including warning arrangements, evacuation orders and instructions, restrictions onentry into the port, cancellation of them, etc. (Inquiries: Muroran Coast Guard Office).
Tides. In Muroran Ko, Mean higher high water is 1.4 m, Mean lower low water is 0.4 m, and Mean sea

Directions. The passage leads from an area WNW of Daikoku Shima to an area W of Nippon Steel Wharf.
The port has four pairs of leading lights at the Nippon Steel Wharf, one pair of leading beacons at the Central
Wharf and two pairs of leading beacons at the Moto-Wanishi Wharf.
These are useful as berthing aids.
Entry restricted. In order to prevent fire hazard, no vessel is allowed to enter within a radius of 30 m fromtankers (including tank ships) carrying flammable dangerous substance at berthing or anchoring in the port
except the vessels permitted by Captain of the Port. It is required that such tankers show a sign “Loaded
flammable dangerous substance” which is discernible by night while berthing or anchoring in the port.
Precautions for entering the port. Fish preserves and aquaculture facilities are laid along the E side of N
Outer Breakwater and other aquaculture facilities in the W of Nima Misaki (42° 20.1′ N, 140° 55.8′ E), therefore
caution needs to be exercised.
At night, the various leading lights, light buoys, and the lights on N Breakwater and S Breakwater are often
difficult to distinguish from the background city lights. The sight of harbour is often obstructed when vessels
navigate the passage because many vessels are usually at anchor within the port. In addition, it is necessary to
exercise caution because vessels entering to or leaving from Nippon Steel Wharf can meet vessels entering to or
leaving from each southern wharf of the section 1 in the vicinity of the E end of the passage.
Overhead cable. There is an overhead cable (with a vertical clearance of about 14m) between Moto-Wanishi
Wharf and Nakau Wharf.
Overhead bridge. Hakucho O-hashi Bridge (with a vertical clearance of 53m, equipped with bridge lights )extends from the root of S Breakwater to the root of N Breakwater, and is illuminated at night.
Anchorage. A quarantine anchorage is established WSW about 1.8 M of Poroshireto Misaki (42° 22.4′ N,

Chapter 1

THE SOUTH COAST OF HOKKAIDO

83140° 54.9′ E) but it is necessary to exercise caution because there are aquaculture facilities nearby. The
anchorage for vessels carrying dangerous cargoes is designated on the N of the passage within Section 3 as acommon rule. The bottom of both inner and outer harbours are mostly sand and generally affords a goodholding.

The anchorage within the port is narrow and also many vessels carrying dangerous cargoes can be anchoredthere, so that vessels should take preventive measures to avoid marine disasters by keeping special watch on
weather information and their anchorage.
After an atmospheric depression passes through the sea area, easterly winds often suddenly turn into westerly
stiff winds. Therefore, when SE winds (or NE winds) shift clockwise (or anticlockwise) vessels will need tore-anchor without delay in anticipation of winds from between W and NW.
Anchoring prohibited. Vessels are prohibited from anchoring in the middle part of Section 1 between thevicinity of Muroran Ko No. 4 Lighted beacon and Central Wharf.

THE SOUTH COAST OF HOKKAIDO

Quarantine anchorage.
A quarantine anchorage is established near the harbour limit within Section 3 (42°36.4′ N, 141° 36.0′ E). Vessels carrying dangerous cargo shall anchor in Section 4.
Anchoring restricted. Vessels are restricted from anchoring within Section 1 and Section 2. Furthermore, allvessels are prohibited from anchoring to ensure the security of inward-bound and outward-bound vessels in thevicinity of the entrance of Nishi Ko.
Cautions for anchoring and evacuation advisory. The anchorage cannot be considered safe because theanchorage affords poor holding ground and the bottom is mostly sand and pumice. Some vessels have had dragging
anchors which resulted in stranding especially when a southerly strong wind is blowing.
For the reasons above, the Captain of the Port of Tomakomai issue “Advice for preventing dragging anchor” which
order the vessels anchoring inside and the vicinity of Tomakomai Ko to weigh anchor and evacuate in cases thatsoutherly winds with a velocity of 15m/s and more blow continuously.

Air obstruction lights (red) on all units.
Mark lights (yellow, synchronised flashing) at (1), (2), (3) and (4)(23m in heigh).
Simple beacon lights (yellow, synchronised flashing) between (1)and (4), (2) and (3).
Submarine power cables are laid between each wind turbine, andfrom (3) to the SE shoreline.

6 wind turbines

43° 10.9′ N, 141° 15.6′ E

Installed at intervals of approximately 200m on the shoreline.

4 wind turbines

43° 10.2′ N, 141° 14.2′ E

Installed at intervals of approximately 200m on the shoreline.

Fairway. There is a fairway (about 300 m in width and 7.5 m to 10 m in depth) from the middle part of theport to Bannaguro Wharf and Tarukawa Wharf. Ishikariwan Ko Kanrikumiai Leading lights (bearing 167.7° in aline) lead the way. The outside of the fairway is shallow because the fairway has been dredged.
Entry Restricted. In order to prevent fire hazard, no vessel is allowed to enter within a radius of 30 m fromtankers (including tank ships) carrying flammable dangerous substance at berthing or anchoring in the port
except the vessels permitted by Captain of the Port.
It is required that such tankers show a sign “Loaded flammable dangerous substance” which is discernible bynight while berthing or anchoring in the port.
Anchorage. Anchorages afford a poor holding because the bottom is mainly sand, and there is a risk of the
dragging anchor during high wind waves from the N, so that these are not suitable for anchoring.
