Outer anchorages: Vessels wishing to communicate with Djupivogur Trading Station, without working cargo, should anchor in the outer roadstead. Djupivogur Church, standing 550m SSW of Fiskitangi, has to the W a sharp fall or cliff, which aligned with the E side of Gleidhuvikurtangi bears approx 210°. This alignment leads into the middle of the roadstead, and anchorage may be obtained in 13.0-15.0m, clay or dark sand, with Edharsteinn bearing approx 295° and in line with Bulandstindur, or the N end of Jonsholmur bearing approx 102° and in line with a patch of white sand in a cove close S of Langitangi. At night, approach in a white sector of Karlsstadhatangi Light between the bearings of 298° and 315° until in a white sector of Aedharsteinn Light between the bearings of 259° and 260°; this sector leads into a white sector of Karlsstadhantangi Light between the bearing of 042° and 047°, in which lies the anchorage described above. Anchorage may also be obtained nearer the trading station, without entering the cove, but the assistance of a pilot is necessary. During W gales, anchorage may be obtained in the lee SE of Edharsteinn Light.

Inner approach: Local knowledge is essential for entering Djupivogur as there is little swinging room, although vessels of up to 55m in length can be anchored there, in depths of 3.7-5.5m. Leading lights (triangular topmarks on posts, 4m and 7m in height) stand 68m apart at the head of the cove; their alignment (209°) leads through the middle of the cove to the town. In addition to the leading lights, three lightbuoys mark the channel, two (starboard hand) and one (port hand). The outer lightbuoy (starboard hand) is moored 370m WSW of Svartasker. The approach channel leads close E of the end of a curved breakwater extending NE from Fiskitangi, the end of which is marked by a light.

BA 2901. Admiralty Pilot NP11, NP286(2).
