Oskarshamn is situated on the W side of Kalmarsund, approx 135nm SSW of Stockholm.

Max LOA 220m, beam 33m, draught 10.3m, 56,023DWT.

Approx 914,000t of cargo and 426,200 passengers handled annually.

Anchorage may be obtained in Grimskalledjupet (57°16.4'N 016°29.2'E), to the NNE of the harbour, in depths of 12.0-20.0m, clay and rock.

The harbour is approached on the alignment of leading lights through channels marked by buoys and lightbuoys, and entered on the alignment of leading lights through a dredged channel marked by buoys and lightbuoys. An alternative approach from SE may be made on the alignment of leading lights, through a buoyed channel, directly to the outer harbour. The main channel, draught of 10.5m: From a position ESE of the pilot boarding position, approx 1.5nm SSE of Finnrevet Light, the track leads 3.5nm WNW through the fairway, on the alignment (289.5°) of Tillingeo Leading Lights to a position 1.3nm from the front light, passing (with positions from Finnrevet Light): Between a lightbuoy (S cardinal) (0.9nm SSW), and another buoy (port hand) moored 1.3nm further SSW which marks the entrance to the main channel. Then NNE of a buoy (port hand), (2.0nm WSW), marking the S limit of the channel, depth of main channel 13.0m. SSW of a buoy (S cardinal, 2.5nm W), marking the N limit of the channel. Then close NNW of Stotbotten Light (57°16.5'N 016°33.2'E). This section of the fairway is also covered, firstly by the white sector (287-289.5°) of Stotbooten Light, and secondly by the white sector (288-290.5°) of Tillingeo front light. In addition, a fixed white spotlight exhibited from Stotbotten Light House marks the limit of the fairway. Arnemar Leading Lights: Front light (red rectangle on pedestal, 57°15.7'N 016°29.4'E) exhibited from an islet forming part of the small craft harbour to the SE of the main harbour. Rear light (similar structure), 425m SW of front light. The alignment (245°) of Arnemar Leading Lights leads 0.8nm SW through the buoyed channel to a position 1.5nm from the front light, close N of the lightbuoy (port hand) marking the outer end of the entrance channel. Grimskallen W Leading Lights: Common Front Light (white lantern on red frame, 57°16.3'N 016°28.8'E) exhibited from the NE part of the harbour. Rear W Light (red triangle on framework tower), 650m W of common front light. The alignment (271°) of Grimskallen W Leading Lights leads 1.5nm W to the anchorage in Grimskalledjupet through the first part of the entrance channel, marked by buoys and lightbuoys (lateral), passing N of Fidogrund, or alternatively if proceeding to the harbour entrance, the same (271°) alignment leads 1.0nm through the buoyed channel to a position 0.6nm from the common front light. Ovadersudden Leading Lights: Front light (orange pole, 57°15.7'N 016°28.5'E) exhibited from the S of the harbour. Rear light (orange triangle on post) 208m SW from front light. Then the alignment (234°) of Ovadersudden Leading Lights leads 0.5nm SW to the harbour entrance and the outer harbour, through the second part of the buoyed entrance channel, passing (with positions from the SE end of the N breakwater): NW of a beacon (0.2nm E) standing on the N end of the E breakwater. Then SE of Katygrund (0.2nm NE) which is floodlit and on which stands a beacon. Then NW of M Blackgrundet (0.1nm SE), marked on its NW side by two buoys and a lightbuoy (all port hand). Continuation channel to inner harbour - draught 7.6m: The alignment (234°) of Ovadersudden Leading Lights leads from the harbour entrance a further 0.4nm SW through the outer harbour to a position 0.15nm from the front light. Badholmen Directional Light (PEL) (white metal framework tower, 57°15.9'N 016° 27.2'E) exhibited from a small islet at the head of the harbour. This light ahead bearing 284° in the white sector (281-287°) of Badholmen Directional Light leads W through the harbour to the head, passing S of Ravenaset, an islet and rocky shoal extending from the N side of the harbour, marked at its S limits by two buoys (starboard hand).
