Fairway

The entry time to Umeå port is very short, only 1 hour from the pilot station to the quay.

Umeå fairway currently handles a maximum draught of 11 metres (lightering only), or maximum draught to quay 10.2 m.

The maximum length of vessels authorised is 215 m.

Pilots are a must for all vessels over 90 m, but pilotage is also recommended for smaller vessels. Read more about pilotage services under Port Services and Pilotage and Towing.
