Two way traffic is permitted, but overtaking is prohibited in the fairway area from Cape Nikolay to Buoy No 2 and from Buoy No 4 to the port harbour. One way traffic is established in the fairway from Buoy No 2 to Buoy 4 (bar district), Vessels leaving the port will give way to vessels entering the port. The vessel must stop, leave the fairway if possible, drift or anchor in the place indicated by The Port State Control Inspection. Vessels crossing the passenger vessels traffic district should exercise particular care.

Vessels must also maintain a continuous watch on the Bridge and Engine Room, with the main engines on Stand-by.
