This Guide provides information on essential passage planning practice, including elements local to the Danish Straits, to help navigating officers compile an effective passage plan. It includes practical guidance for the transit, with reference to traffic, pilotage, anchorages, tidal streams and climate, reporting requirements, bridge clearances, etc.
Annotated chartlets, which now feature satellite imagery, are provided for each leg of the transits of the Great Belt and the Sound, illustrating aids to navigation and potential hazards to shipping.
The Guide illustrates ?hotspot? areas where high vigilance is required and lists the pre-emptive measures that should be taken by the ship. Also included are a number of case studies that examine the causes of various groundings and collisions in the Straits.
This new edition now includes a section on guidance for Masters, which provides a helpful overview of important information for arriving ships, such as pilotage, communication, bunkering and STS operations. Significant updates and additions have been made to information regarding reporting systems and requirements, pilot ladder arrangements, traffic in the Straits and the Fehmarnbelt Construction Project.
In preparation for this new edition, Witherbys has worked in consultation with DanPilot, the pilot service of the Danish State, to fully revise and update the Guide.
