Critical Operational Notes:
- All depth measurements refer to Chart Datum (CD) with tidal range of 4.2m (MHWS) – verified per Admiralty Tide Tables
- Maximum permissible draft = Chart Depth – 0.9m (squat allowance) + tide height
- Naval facilities have 500m exclusion zone (IMO SN/Circ.234) – enforced by coastal radar
- Port operates under DPRK Maritime Safety Law (2018 Revision) with these key requirements:
- Mandatory AIS transmission within 3nm of port limits
- VHF Ch 16/12 continuous monitoring
- Pre-arrival notification 72hrs prior
- New regulation: Oil tankers >10,000 DWT require double hull (MARPOL Annex I)
Safety Critical Updates:
- New submerged pipeline 200m NE of Coal Berth (marked by special buoys)
