Umeå

These norms should be seen as maximum values and may need to be changed in regards to vessel type, wind direction and other circumstances.

Maximum dimensions

Fairways / Quays	Umeå harbour/ General cargo	Umeå harbour/ Oil quay	Obbola Oil quay
Deadweight		55 000 ton	45 000 ton
LOA	215 m	215 m	200 m
Beam	33 m	33 m
Draft	10,2 m	10,2 m	LOA < 185 m: 10,2 m LOA 185 - 200 m: 7,6 m

In the event of reduced visibility, on-duty pilots assess whether the table value should be reduced.

Visibility restrictions

The following vessels are limited by daylight, and a visibility of at least one nautical mile
	Umeå harbour/ General cargo	Umeå harbour/ Oil quay	Obbola Oil quay
Deadweight >	25 000 ton	21 000 ton	17 000 ton
LOA >			185 m
Draft >	9,2 m	9,0 m	9,0 m

Tugboat restrictions

Jetty	Draft	Arrival	Departure
2 - 6	6,0 - 7,3 m	1	1
1, 7 - 10	5,0 - 10,2 m	1*	1*

* after assessment

A tugboat is defined in this context, as a vessel built for towing and with a bollard pull of at least 23 tons. When two tugs are required according to these restrictions, the total force shall be at least 52 tons.

Maximun drafts at different quays

Quay	Max draft	Remarks
1	5,0 m
2 - 6	7,3 m	Draft > 6m = tugboat
7 - 8	8,8 m
9 - 10	10,0 m
Oil quay	10,2 m
Gustavsudde	10,2 m
Ferry terminal	7,0 m

Pilotage with two pilots

For vessels with LOA > 200 m and or Beam > 30 m, two pilots are to be used.

Reservation must be made with regard to a number of additional factors that affect the assessment of the individual case, e.g. reduced visibility, high wind speeds, currents, the ship's technical standard, the fairway's marking for night navigation, tugboat assistance, which may lead to a reduction of the guideline values. Under favorable external conditions, ships with very good maneuverability and high technical standards may be allowed to exceed specified guideline values.
