Nakskov (DKNAK)

Nakskov is the largest commercial port on South Sjaelland and Lolland, Falster. The port is sheltered from all directions of wind and is navigable day and night. Facilities are available for dry and break bulk cargoes, Ro-Ro passenger and car ferries and some liquid cargoes. The port's economy is already benefitting from the offshore wind farm industry and from forthcoming large construction projects in the area which will require construction at sea. Work is due to start on the new Storstroms Bridge and a 4km long tunnel below the waters of the Fehmarn connecting Germany to Denmark.

Summer Zone for ships over 100m in length and Winter Zone for ships of 100m or less in length. Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Nakskov is situated on the W coast of Lolland, at the end of Nakskov Fjord.

LOA 200m, beam 30m, draught 5.8m. Largest Vessel: General Cargo Ship "Symphony Sky", LOA122.5m, Beam 17m, 10,600 DWT, Arrival Draught 4.9m (Max Draught 7.85m).

Approx 639 vessels and 437,000t of cargo handled annually.

Vessels can anchor in the approaches to Nakskov Fjord on the E side of Langelandsbaelt, clear of the shallow water. Sheltered anchorage for small vessels can be obtained off the NE side of Albuen in Albue Red (54°50'N 010°59'E) in depths from 3.5 to 5.5m, clay and sand overgrown with weed. Winds from W and WNW raise a certain amount of sea, but a well found vessel should be able to ride out a gale in this anchorage. Anchorage in the harbour is limited to smaller vessels in depths of 5.5m. Local knowledge is advise.

A channel, dredged to a depth of 6.3m, leads from Langelandsbaelt for 4nm to a position close S of Enehoje where it divides into 2 branches. Recommended max draught is 5.8m. Main Channel: Used by large vessels, leads S of Raso Grund and between Kuddeholm and Barneholm, two islets close W of the entrance to the harbour. Channel North of Sloto: Narrow and tortuous, with a depth of 5.5m at the W end, increasing to the controlling depth of 6.3m near the E end. Initially the channel leads NNE from a position close S of Enehoje, round Sloto, and rejoins the main channel close W of Kuddeholm. The channel from the port entrance is 8.5m deep and widens into the harbour where there is a turning area approx 215m wide, measured from the Southern side, 8.5m deep. A shallow area lies close North of this. Large vessels must notify the port using VHF Ch 16, and arrange a time for arriving or departing for using the ports Access Channel.

Pilotage is compulsory for vessels with a draught of 6.6m or more, a width of more than 20m or LOA130m or more and for Masters without local knowledge. Pilots are stationed at Albuen and board in position 2.5nm NW of Albuen Light. Pilot can be ordered from DanPilot, Tel: (+45) 63 25 6666 or email danpilot@danpilot.dk. (see website www.danpilot.dk). Vessels requiring a pilot should notify DanPilot at least 6 hours in advance.

Lights from the roadstead to Nakskov enable vessels to access the port at night. An outer approach buoy (light) is stationed approx 1.8nm NNW of Albuen Light (Position 54°50'N 10°57'E) at the seaward end of the narrow, winding channel stretching approx 6.5nm to the harbour entrance. This fairway is clearly marked by a series of red and green buoys. Lights are displayed from these where the channel changes direction. In the town, there is a prominent red church, with a spire and two conspicuous chimneys, tall and thin, are visible from all directions.

A submarine cable and a pipeline exist across the inner and outer harbour. Cables and pipelines are marked. Navigation by night can only be carried out safely with the help of searchlights, which can be provided by tug for which 24 hours notice is required. Vessels up to 2,000DWT can enter by day or night. Speed is restricted to a maximum of 5kts in the channel between a position 0.5nm S of Hellenaes and the entrance to Nakskov Havn. The Inner Fjord at the E end of the harbour area is designated is protected as a wildlife reserve and entry is subject to numerous regulations.

Sea level may be lowered by up to 1.0m during SW or W gales and raised by as much as 1.5m during those from NE and E. This is only in extreme cases. Tidal streams change regularly every 6 hours, and follow the direction of the channel. They are strongest E of Enehoje (54°50'N 011°01'E).

A Vessel Traffic System operates in the area. Requirements are as follows: ..... 1. A Reporting System is operation between the approach to the channel towards Nakskov Fjord and Nakskov Port to ensure vessels are informed of the movements of other vessels in the area. 2. Vessels in the area sailing in opposite directions are able to plan the safe passing of eachother in the narrow navigation channel. 3. The Reporting System applies to all vessels LOA20m. The following VTS procedures must be used: 1. Vessels must send a Position Report using VHF Ch12 when passing Reporting Points as follows: a. Inbound Vessels (Position 54°52.0'N 10°55.8'E) approx 0.3nm NW of the Approach Channel. b. Inbound and Outbound Vessels (Position 54°49.5'N 11°01.4'E, Ramso Lighthouse) c. Outbound Vessels (Position 54°49.9'N 11°07.3'E, Nakskov Port). The Position Report must include: a. Vessel's name. b. Navigation Direction (Inbound/Outbound). c. Position. d. Draught. 2. Vessels leaving Nakskov Port must state their berth number. 3. Vessels must keep a Listening Watch on VHF Channel 12 from 10 minutes prior to departure from Nakskov Port and during navigation between the Approach and Nakskov Port. 4. Two meeting vessels in the Channel should each mutually agree on a safe passage, if possible at established lay-by locations at Enehoje (Inbound and Outbound Vessels (Position 54°49.6'N 11°01.2'E) or at Kuddeholm (Position 54° 49.7'N 11°04.8'E). 5. The broadcast language used should be English. Large vessels are required to notify the port, using VHF Ch 16, and arrange a time for arriving or departing when using the port's Access Channel.

Two tugs of 5t and 2t bollard pull up to 500t hp available. Notice of 24 hours to agent is advised. An ice breaking tug is available.
