Horten (NOHOR)

Horten is an industrial town with ship repair facilities and good communications by land and sea.

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

Horten is situated on the SE coast of Norway, 80km S of Oslo. The town stands between Horten Outer Harbour to the E and Horten Inner Harbour to the N. Kaljohansven stands on the E side of the inner harbour.

Max LOA 175m, draught 8.5m.

Approx 78,000t of cargo handled annually.

..... Langgrunnen (59°24.2'N 010°31.0'E) Main anchorage with good holding ground on sand and clay; however, strong winds from the S and E create a considerable sea in the area. This anchorage must be used for vessels which have not been allocated an anchorage or berth. Larger vessels should anchor in position 344° Bastoy Light 1.2nm. Nordbukta Affords anchorage in position 0.4nm NNW of Bastoy Light in depths of 16.0m to 25.0m, sand. Lokeberggrunnen Anchor in position 0.3nm NNE of Bastoy Light in depths of 16.0 to 20.0m. Vealosflaket (59°27'N 010°30'E) Anchor in depths of 13.0m to 15.0m, sand and clay, clear of Harfagrebaen and the reefs extending NE from Vealos. Bastoyrenna (59°23'N 010°30'E) This area is encumbered with submarine cables which cross the channel and with submarine pipelines which extend from the W shore. Prohibited anchorages are shown on charts in position 0.5nm N of Asgardstrand (59° 21'N 010° 28'E) on the side of the channel and across the channel from a position 0.5nm SSE of Asgardstrsnd to the S extremity of Bastoy. Anchorage is prohibited within an area extending E from Horten across Oslofjorden to Gullholmen. The limits are as follows: 1. The N limit is the parallel of Gullholmen 2. The S limit is the parallel of 59°25'N 3. The E limit is the meridian of Gullholmen Light.

Vessels approach Horten from the main channel of Oslofjorden or from W of Bastoy. Vessels proceeding through Oslofjorden should stay in the appropriate lane of the traffic separation scheme. Channel W of Bastoy: From a position E of Slagenstangen Lightbuoy (red, 0.3nm ENE of Slagenstangen), vessels should steer to pass W of Skjergrunnen and Ostenskjaer and E of Ostre Smaskjaer and Piesen Banken. Borre Church (59°23'N 010°28'E), bearing 314° and open SW of Ostenskjaer, leads close SW of Skjergrunnen. Then enter Bastoyrenna with Slagenstangen (59°18.9'N 010°32.2'E), astern, bearing 165° and open W of Steinboen. When abreast the W extremity of Bastoy, vessels should alter course NE to bring Ostenskjaer into line with Slagenstangen, bearing 167°, which leads W of Bastoybaen. Keep on this alignment until Revlingkalven (59°23.6'N 010°38.7'E) bears 091° and is well open N of Bastoykalven, when course should be altered towards an anchorage. At night, the white sector of Ostenskjaer Light, bearing between 318.5°-341°, leads vessels between Slagenstangen Lightbuoy and Mefjordbaen (1.75nm NE of Slagenstangen) to within 0.7nm of the light. From a position 0.3nm W of Ostenskjaer, the white sector of Horten Light, bearing between 357°-010°, leads vessels through the fairway of Bastoyrenna to an anchorage off Horten. If making for the anchorage on Vealosflaket, continue N and take care to avoid Hortenskrakken. At night, the white sector of Horten Light, bearing between 273°-322°, leads towards Fylingen from the main channel. Unauthorised approach is prohibited within 50m of the coast in the area around Vealos, Osteroya and Mellomoya. Passage between Vealso and Osteroya and between Mellomoya and Lovoya without stopping is, however, permitted.

BA 3154. Norwegian 3 and 486. Admiralty Pilot NP56.

Compulsory. Pilot boards at Faerder Pilot Station. Special pilots are required for the inner or naval harbour.

The harbour area is bounded as follows: ..... 1. S by a line between the W extremity of Bastoy and Borre Church. 2. E by a line between Bastoy Light Beacon and the S point of Molen (59°29'N 010°31'E), an island 6nm NNW. 3. N by a line between the S point of Molen and Varnestangen (59°27'N 010° 25'E).

Horten Light is exhibited from a white lantern on a mole head at Horten, 2.25nm NW of Bastoy Lighthouse.

There are no restrictions in the outer harbour.

Range 0.3m. Note; Meteorological conditions can have a pronounced influence on water levels.

A series of traffic separation schemes are established in Oslofjorden, extending between a position on the Norwegian territorial limit S of Faerder Light (59°02'N 010°32'E, exhibited from a red metal tower, white band, 43m in height and a Racon) and Filtvet Light (exhibited from a GRP tower on a concrete base, 13m in height, W side of the channel, 4nm NE of Ramvikholmen). Procedure: ..... The following vessels must participate in Oslofjorden VTS: a. All vessels with LOA of 24m or over. b. All vessels carrying hazardous and/or polluting cargo in bulk. c. All vessels carrying passengers. If any of the above vessels intend to use the waters of the Oslofjord VTS Area they must obtain clearance to do so (clearance to anchor must be obtained). Ferries operating local schedules are only required to make a report immediately before leaving the berth. When transiting, at anchor or awaiting a berth, all vessels must keep a continuous listening watch on the designated frequency. Permission to change frequency or end VHF watch should be obtained from Horten or Oslo Control as appropriate. VHF communications shall be in Scandinavian or English. VTS operations, traffic information and clearances do not relieve the Master of his responsibility for safe navigation of his vessel.
