Anchorage is restricted to LOA 95m, draught 5.2m and is limited to a maximum of 16 vessels. The best anchorage is about 0.5nm off the coastal bank. The anchorage can be entered at the S end from the main channel after rounding No 18 Lightbuoy.

The dredged channel (depth 9.5m) from the Fairway Buoy "Wismar" to the harbour entrance is approx 16nm in length and is well marked by leading lights and lightbuoys (IALA System "A" is used). Caution: High speed ferries operate in the approaches. Submarine cables cross the dredged channel 0.3nm WSW of Walfisch rear leading light and 0.25nm NNE of Wendorf rear leading light; buoys (yellow barrel) on each side of the channel mark their positions.
