Shengjin : Profile

Clearance

The port is only 10 miles south of the border from Montenegro. There are shoals off the headland to the north of the harbour so the port should be entered on a bearing of 020 with the leading marks in line.

Docking

The holding in the harbour is not good and so berthing stern-to to quay is unlikely to work. The alternative is to tie up to a (rusty?) fishing vessel. Beware that parts of the harbour are very shallow.

Fuel is a car-ride away.
