Busum (DEBUM)

Busum is a NAABSA port. Because of its connection with Suderpiep, it has the best approach of all the ports in Schleswig-Holstein and also, it is hardly affected by ice. The port comprises the Vorhafen (Outer) basin and the Binnenhafen (Inner), with 4 basins. The port handles general cargo, grain, feedstuffs, fertiliser, ferry, cruise and passengers.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Busum is located on the NW side of Meldorfer Bucht.

LOA 150m, draught 6.5m.

An anchorage area, with depths of 3.0-15.0m, is established about 1nm SSE of Hafen von Busum Light at the N end of Sommerkoogsterloch.

Approach: Through ship channel "Suderpiep", marked according to IALA Maritime Buoyage System (red to port). Distance from Fairway Buoy to Busum port is 19nm. The harbour entrance channel into port, is marked by leading lights (each a black mast, 110m apart, with white bands, respectively 7m and 9m in height) (Iso W 4s) on the root of the W mole. The alignment of 355° leads through the Outer Harbour, entered between the heads of the E and W shelter moles, from which the flood barrage entrance is approached, 21.5m wide and about 100m in length, entering the Inner Harbour. Min depth at MHW for Outer Harbour, the approach to Basin No 2 and Basin No 3 is 6.5m.

BA 3767, German 105. Admiralty Pilot NP55, NP286(2).

Cruisers in port: "Hans Hackmack" callsign "DBAT", "Helgoland" callsign "DBQL".

Brackish, 1019.

No particular restrictions except for vessels in distress or carrying explosives or not gas free.

Not compulsory but recommended. Vessels should request pilot 12 hours in advance through the agent or direct to the pilots, Tel: +49 4841 3287. Vessels coming from Kiel Canal or the Elbe above Brunsbuttel may embark the pilot at Brunsbuttel.

The seaward boundary is a line between the southern extension of the breakwaters.

Busum Light (red tower, white bands, 22m in height) (54°07.6'N 008°51.5'E); Silo (0.3nm ESE Busum Light); Hafen Von Busum Light (red tower, white bands, height 22m) (54°08.0'N 008°52.0'E); Building (tower block, approx 22 storeys high) (54°08.0'N 008°51.0'E).

Anchors may only be used for navigational purposes. Under keel clearance: Min at any tide is 0.5m. Draught: Not to exceed 6.0m at HW and 3.0m at LW. Time of arrival: Due to tidal streams off the harbour large vessels are advised to enter the harbour at slack HW. A flood barrage in the entrance is closed when the water level reaches 0.3m above MHW. A lock in the flood barrage permits vessels up to LOA 30m to enter the harbour when the barrage is closed.

Range 3.6m (springs), 3.2m (neaps). Care is necessary when approaching the outer harbour, particularly at half tide when the stream is strongest. The flood stream rotates anti clockwise off the entrance and vessels are liable to be set initially onto the head of the E shelter mole and subsequently on to the W shelter mole.

If required tugs are available from Cuxhaven or Brunsbuttel.
