Østerby Havn (DKOTB)

The port is currently closed for commercial operations. Information for the port is retained should the port reopen. The port is used mainly by fishing vessels and pleasure craft. The harbour is formed by a dog legged breakwater extending E and NE from the shore, and a mole extending NW, with an entrance 35m in width facing E between their heads. The harbour is divided into outer and inner harbours by a central mole, extending NW from the shore.

Osterby Havn is located on the N coast of Laeso Island, which is the largest Island in the Kattegat.

LOA 50m, beam 12m and draught 3.5m.

Controlling depths are 3.5m in the entrance and 2.5-3.5m elsewhere in the harbour. The approach to the harbour leads S from the inshore route N of Laeso, following directions for anchorage in Jegens Bugt, from which the track leads SE in the white sector (127°-191°) of the E mole head light (white post, 5.0m in height) (57°19.4'N 011°07.7'E). When close N of the harbour, the track leads E as required to pass clear of the outer mole, on which stands a light (post, 3m in height) (100m NNE), and make the approach to the harbour entrance from E.
