（2）Coordination

　At the latest one day in advance, Hanshin Port Authority obtains information on the time schedule of

ships of the gross tonnage over 500 tons who enter or leave the harbor and check the overall schedule to

confirm that there is no risk of occurrence of such situations as described in above (1). If there is a risk,

Port Authority will designate the ships to be controlled related to the navigation time schedule

(hereinafter called "ships to be controlled") and the oncoming ships (hereinafter called "oncoming

ships"); according to the following rules of control.

① General rule for controlling ships' navigation in the vicinity of Daikanmon

When it is expected that two ships as described in the table below will pass each other in the

vicinity of Daikanmon, ○ marked ship will be controlled.

　The ship to be controlled must adjust its sailing time schedule in order to avoid meeting with

the oncoming ship in the vicinity of Daikanmon.

However, the above general rule may not be applied in the following cases.

(a) When one ship leaves a berth and another ship comes to the same berth

(b) When there is a ship sailing between Nanko Kanmon and Daikanmon for shifting to

another berth

(c) When there is an unavoidable reason in an emergency case

② General rule for controlling ships' navigation in the merging area

When there is a possibility that an incoming ship of the gross tonnage of over 500 tons sailing

for Daikanmon and an outgoing ship of the gross tonnage of 5,000 tons or over departing from

Nanko sailing according to the control by the Nanko signal station and Second Nanko signal

station may pass with each other in the merging area, the former ship will be controlled and the

latter ship will be regarded as the oncoming ship.

The ship to be controlled must adjust its sailing time schedule in order to avoid meeting with

the oncoming ship in the merging area.

66Sand lance fishery

　In Osaka bay and the sea of Harima, "Sand lance fishery operations by trawl-boat" are frequently conducted between February and April every year. 　Sand lances gather in current rips, so Akashi strait is one of the best fishing spots. In the best season, approx. 120 fishing teams (3 boats per team) or 360 trawl-boats gather for fishing operations in the narrow strait. Besides Akashi strait, fishing operations are conducted in the surrounding sea areas as well; so more than 200 teams in total are engaged in operations. 　For this reason, general ships sometimes change the navigation route to move away from those fishing boats or stop in the sea area finding no sailing course. Patrol boats from Japan Coast Guard are on the watch, but general ships should also pay attention to fishing operations of trawl-boats for safe navigation. 　Through the sand lance fishing season, the Osaka harbor Information Center for Security of Ship Navigation reports the latest information on the situations of fishery operations in every 30 minutes by fax, radio broadcasting, internet homepage, etc. Furthermore, if you find dangers or hope to obtain necessary information during sailing, please contact the Osaka harbor Information Center by radio or telephone.
