# Lesogorsk (RULES)

**UN/LOCODE:** RULES  
**Country:** Russia  
**Water Body:** Tatar Strait; North Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** 49.4500, 142.1333

Ships ride at anchor in the open, exposed to Tatar Strait weather and forced to clear out in heavy storms — that is the working reality at Lesogorsk on Sakhalin's west coast. Known in the Japanese Karafuto era as Nayoshi, it historically loaded coal and timber, but commercial container or customs services here are not confirmed. Regular Sakhalin cargo is better handled at Kholmsk, with its rail ferry to Vanino, or at the coal port of Uglegorsk nearby.
