Besides, the restriction for the vessel full draught was changed from 8.5 meters to 9 meters, which allows to increase significantly the cargo turnover of the seaport. Also, considering the growing cargo turnover and tonnage of vessels, the and with the aim to provide safety of berths and vesels calling at the seaport of Posyet, information on the number of mooring tow-tugs necessary for mooring operations and depending on the vessel tonnage was entered into the new edition of the compulsory regulations.

In the new edition of the Compulsory Regulations in the seaport of Posyet new places of pilot embarkation and disembarkation were set in the points with the following coordinates: 42°36'00" N latitude 130°49'80" E longitude for vessels following to and leaving from the seaport water area in Posyet Bay, and 42°53'50" N latitude 131°26'00" E longitude for vessels following to and leaving from the seaport water area in Slavyanka Bay. This amendment will help to increase navigation safety in the seaport of Posyet, and, in particular, facilitate navigation for foreign vessels and vessels calling at the seaport of Posyet for the first time.
