Odense (DKODE)

The port is serving the industrial area of the island of Fyn which located at the head of Odense Fjord. Exports include agricultural produce, cements, general cargo, machinery, meal and flour. Imports include cereals, coal, feed stuffs, fertilisers, general cargo, gravel, iron, kaolin, LPG, paper reels, petroleum products, salt and timber.

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.

The port of Odense is located on the island of Funen, SW of the Kattegat, at the head of Odense Fjord.

LOA 333.19m, draught 9.9m, beam 50m, 153,617DWT.

Approx 2,000,000t of cargo and 840 vessels handled annually.

Vessels with a draught of 6.0m or more should anchor approx 3nm N of Gabet in depths of 10-14m. The holding ground is good. Sheltered anchorage is obtainable inside Gabet in depths of 4-7.5m.

The dredged channel through Odense Fjord is marked on each side at frequent intervals by lightbuoys and light beacons (lateral), numbered from seaward. Additional lightbuoys and buoys are laid to mark the changes in the channel when required. Many pairs of leading lights and two sectored lights, all numbered from seaward, lead through the several reaches of the channel to the entrance of Odense Kanal. Each light is exhibited from a red framework mast with a red triangle, point up over the front light, and point down over the rear light. Odense Kanal leads SSW and SW for about 4nm to Odense Havn. Both sides of the canal are illuminated by sodium lights ashore; km stones on the W bank denote the distance from the Customs house at the S end of Odense Havn. The fairway is well marked for navigation throughout 24 hours. In winter when ice occurs, the local icebreaker passes through the fairway daily and vessels of normal construction will experience no difficulties.

Odense Steel Shipyard Port is a subport of Odense

Position reports to be sent on VHF Ch 12 using English language. The report must include the following information: 1. Vessel's name 2. Navigation direction (inbound and outbound) 3. Position 4. Draught 5. Vessels departing Odense must also state the quay number. Vessels must maintain a listening watch on Ch 12 from 30 minutes of departure from port and between the Approach Lightbuoy and Odense Havn. Vessels, upon hearing a transmission, must reply with the following information: 1. Vessel's name 2. Navigation direction (inbound and outbound) 3. Position 4.
