Den Helder (NLDHR)

Chief role is as a supply centre for North Sea oil and gas platforms and also as a Naval Base and Fish Auction. It provides good shelter, at anchorage and in the harbour especially during bad weather, and is a port of call to many fishing vessels.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Den Helder is located on the S side of Waddenzee, 40km farther N than Alkmaar.

Max LOA 200m, beam 22.15m.

Approx 153,000t of cargo handled annually.

Anchor locations in Den Helder approach: ..... Location Latitude Longitude Den Oever 52°56.8'N 005°02.4'E Den Helder 52°58.0'N 004°47.1'E Within the anchorage area there are 17 anchorages marked with a letter. In principal these anchor positions are only allocated by the Harbour Coordination Centre (HCC). If another anchorage should be requested, this can only be allowed in certain cases, provided anchorage is not: ..... 1. In a position dangerous to shipping 2. Near submerged cables and pipelines 3. In the lights in line 191° (Den Helder harbour) 4. Within 800m of the W breakwater 5. Within 500m on either side of the radar line indicated (exclusively in use by naval vessels) 6. Within 400m of a warship There is also an anchorage N of De Koog off the sea inlet on the 10m line.

Coming from sea, Den Helder can be approached through Schulpengat or Molengat. Schulpengat (52°55.5'N 4°41'E): This is approached with the light in line bearing 026.5° (Den Horn). When sector light Huisduinen is bearing 070° (beginning of the white sector), the lights in line are left and subsequently vessels navigate in the white sector of Schilbolsnol Light until the white sector of Huisduinen goes over into the red sector bearing 113°. Then the lights and buoys of Den Helder roads should be followed. Molengat (53°01'N 4°41'E): The course of this fairway is continually subject to change, especially during gales where the depths in this fairway may change drastically. During WNW'ly-N'ly winds there is a difficult sea and if during these winds the ebb stream is coming through, entering and leaving this fairway is strongly advised against. To enter the fairway vessels should follow the lights in line bearing 140.5°, near the S part of Molengat. On entering or leaving the harbour, lights in line 191° provides guidance. On the roads and in front of the harbour entrance the direction and strength of the tidal stream should be well reckoned with. On passing the breakwaters the influence of the stream on the direction of travel ceases rather suddenly. Vessels should keep Den Helder Leading Lights in line bearing 191° and pass W of MH4-M1 Lightbuoy, then into the harbour. Vessels should reduce speed on passing the entrance moles. There are 3 harbours as follows: Veerhaven: This is entered from Marsdiep by keeping the ferry leading lights, exhibited from grey masts at the SE corner of the harbour, in line bearing 207°. This harbour is designated for the Texel ferries and is prohibited to all other ships. Marinehaven Willemsoord: If entering harbour through Schulpengat Breewijd care must be taken as streams may meet or diverge. This is the Naval harbour and is home port for the Netherlands Navy. Oude Haven: This is entered from Marinehaven and extends 0.9nm SE. Port dimensions: Het Nieuwe Diep is approached from Willemsoord and will accommodate vessels LOA 120m with draught 7.0m, if proceeding under Moorman Bridge vessel size is restricted to LOA 90m, beam 16m and draught 5.0m on berth Nos 43 - 55. In order to pass locks into Industrial Harbour vessels size is restricted to LOA 85m, beam 14m, draught 4.7m and vertical clearance 35m.

Pilotage is compulsory for the following: ..... 1. Fairway (Telex Roads to Den Helder) a. Nieuwe Diep: Vessels over LOA 95m and 7.0m draught. b. Koopvaardersbinnenhaven: Vessels over LOA 90m and 5.0m draught 2. Fairway (Den Helder to Kornwerderzand): Vessels over LOA 65m or 4.0m draught 3. Fairway (Den Helder to Den Oever) and other harbours in the Waddenzee: Vessels over LOA 60m or 2.5m draught Pilotage for the Schulpengat is not compulsory but compulsory pilotage may be imposed upon a vessel on an ad hoc basis by the authorities. Vessels should send ETA at least 6 hours in advance of arrival at the pilot boarding position off Egmond or in Rede Den Helder. ETA should be confirmed 3 hours and 1 hour before arrival. Pilot ordering Tel: +31 255 564500, email: pilots.amsterdam@loodswezen.nl. Operations Tel: +31 255 564503. Deviations of ETA of more than 30 minutes must be reported. Messages should be sent through Traffic Centre IJmuiden VHF Ch 07 or Den Helder Traffic Centre Ch 62 and include the following: Information required Vessel's name and call sign Destination port/berth ETA at pilot station Maximum draught LOA and GT Include "Texelrede" if pilotage required inward from Rede Den Helder. As the Den Helder pilot boarding position off Egmond is located within the Noordzeekanaal Vessel Traffic Services area, vessels must also report to VTS IJmuiden on VHF Ch 07. Vessels must advise ETD 4 hours before departure. Pilots board in the following positions: 1. Vessels requiring pilotage for the Schulpengat (ad hoc compulsory or not): 52° 38.0'N 004°30.0'E (off Egmond) 2. Vessels for whom pilotage is compulsory for Rede Den Helder and adjacent ports, or vessels for whom pilotage is not compulsory but still require a pilot: 0.5nm E of S14-MG17 Lightbuoy.

Leading Lights: Front light (black inverted triangle on building) (52°57.4'N 004°47.2'E). Rear light (black inverted triangle on black framework tower) (0.15nm S of front light with which it is synchronised).

Entry permission must be granted by the Harbour Officer or from the Naval Base Control. Oil rigs and long ships can only make an approach and entry into Marinehaven between 1-1.5 hours after HW Den Helder. All other vessels can berth throughout 24 hours. Speed within the harbour entrance is limited to a maximum of 6kts. Tugs should be requested if this speed is insufficient to maintain manoeuvrability.

Tides rise approx 1.8m at springs and 1.6m at neaps.

A vessel traffic scheme via the Port Coordination Centre is in operation for the control of shipping. All vessels equipped with VHF are requested to participate in this system. The western boundary consists of a line joining the following points: ..... 1. Grote Kaap Light 52°52.9'N 004°43.0'E 2. SG Buoy 52°53.0'N 004°38.0'E 3. ZH Buoy 52°54.7'N 004°34.8'E 4.

Berths in the roads are allocated by the Harbour Master and vessels must not take up or shift berth without permission. Vessels with explosive or inflammable cargoes may not enter or leave harbour without permission. Seagoing vessels, except Netherlands fishing craft, yachts and pleasure craft, must communicate their requests for berths to Commandant Maritieme Middelen, Den Helder or via Scheveningen Radio. These vessels should be prepared to anchor in Malzwin or Texelstroom if a berth is not available. Vessels must proceed without delay to the roads, their allocated berths, or tide lock as the case may be. Incoming vessels, except Netherlands fishing craft, send the vessel's name to the Harbour office as soon as entry into the roads is made. The speed within the harbour entrance is limited to a maximum of 6kts. Tugs should be requested if this speed is insufficient to maintain manoeuvrability. Particular care is necessary to avoid causing wash when proceeding past vessels berthed alongside in Rijkszeehaven Het Nieuwe Diep.
