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

Nuuk, the capital of W Greenland and alternatively known as Godthaab, is located on the SW coast of Greenland.

LOA 188m, draught 11.0m.

Contact port officials for further information. Anchorage may be obtained in the outer harbour, which is free from swell. For larger vessels arriving at night, anchorage is available in Malene Bugt, on a shoal in depths of 15.0-19.0m, good holding ground. Close S the depth increases rapidly and holding ground is not so good. Strong winds from the S can raise the sea in the anchorage area and render the working of cargo impractical. Temporary anchorage for larger vessels may be obtained 324m W of the S entrance point of Godthaab Red in depths of approx 46.0m.

Approach: An aeromarine radio beacon is situated at Vildmandsnaesset (64° 10.18'N 051°45.3'W) a point on the W of the peninsula. The outer harbour is entered between Fyro and the S extremity of the peninsula, 0.4nm W. A beacon (topmark red cross ) stands on the inner end of a projecting point 0.4nm farther NW. Enter the outer harbour in mid channel: at night the white sector ( 015°-025°) of Skibshavn Light leads into the entrance. Leading Lights: (shown May 1-Nov 15) are established on the N shore of Malene Bugt: Front light (framework tower, topmark red triangle, point up, 64°10.9'N 051° 41.7'W).
