Hamburg (DEHAM)

Germany's largest and most important port, with over 320 berths, handling a wide variety of cargoes and especially prominent in container and petroleum movements. Also extensive transhipment facilities, including the container block train system and the Elbe Lateral Canal which links Hamburg to Magdeburg, Aken, Riesa, Dresden, Decin and Prague, as well as Brunswick and Hanover. Mega ship with a combined width of up to 98m can now passing each others after widening the Elbe "Passing Box". The fairway along 36km stretch between Wedel & the mouth of Stцr has been widened from 300 meter to 320 meter, start 28 January 2020 onwards, ship with a combined width of 92m may pass or overtake each others in this area.

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

Hamburg is situated on the River Elbe, 65nm from the open sea.

LOA 400m, draught 15.1m, beam 61.5m, 232,606DWT.

Approx 112,000,000t of cargo, 8,000,000TEU, 7,000 vessels and 900,000 passengers handled annually.

Anchoring is prohibited outside the line of the channel buoyage in the River Elbe and Kohlbrand and in other areas unless the Hamburg Port Authority has permitted it. Anchoring is permitted if it is required to avoid dangerous situations.

Work on widening two sections of the fairway adjustment has been completed. On the segment of the Elbe widened by the WSV (Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration) as far as the Hamburg state border, known as the ‘Passing Box’. Vessels with a combined width of up to 98m are now able to pass each other safely. Previously the limit was 90m. Work on this continues and the permissible breadth of visiting vessels will be raised further. Approach from a position ESE of Falkensteiner Light (black and red pile) (53° 33.0'N 009°46.6'E) the alignment (106.75°) ahead of Bubendey-Ufer Leading Lights leads 3.5nm ESE to a position WNW of Seemannshoft Radar Tower where Elbe River Pilots are exchanged for Hamburg Harbour Pilots. The alteration of course on to the next alignment (273°), astern of Finkenwerder Leading Lights occurs in this vicinity. The Elbe has a max depth of 16.3m at high tide. Currently inbound vessels with draught up to 15.1m FW are accepted on HW, subject to the Harbour Masters approval and outbound vessels with a draught of 13.8m FW are permitted at HW.
