Klaksvik (FOKVI)

The harbour is formed by a natural, sheltered bay with two entrances. A mole extends 90m ENE, then 75m NE from the W shore, 0.35nm SSW of the quay.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone I, Winter Oct 16 to Apr 15, Summer Apr 16 to Oct 15.

The small port of Klaksvik is located on the SW coast of Borda, one of the Faeroe Islands.

Draught 7.5m

There is excellent anchorage with a firm sea bed and depth of 35-45m on the sheltered Pollurin (Roads), in the lee of Kunoy island. Distance from the harbour is 800m.

The harbour is approached from Kalsoyarfjorour through the Pollurin or Klaks-Red (62°15.0'N 006°37.0'W), the land locked area of water between the S side of Kunoy and the coast of Bordoy S and SE. The main entrance is from the NW between Kunoy and Klakkur. The harbour is the safest in the Faeroe Islands. The route from both N and S is deep and clearly marked. Directions for entering harbour: Pollurin: From a position in Kalsoyarfjordur abreast Kalsoy Light, the route through Pollurin to a leading line into Klaksvik leads E passing between Klaks and the S side of Kunoy, both of which are fringed by a narrow bank.At night a white sector (256-269°), astern, of Kalsoy Light leads through Pollurin. Klaksvik Leading Lights: Front light (grey metal column) extending from W side of Klaksvik. Rear light (similar structure) (0.1nm S of front light) near middle of pier extending from W side of Klaksvik. The alignment (170°) of these lights leads in mid-channel through the entrance and outer part of Klaksvik.
