Simrishamn (SESIM)

Simrishamn is a small fishing and commercial harbour, protected by two breakwater and two inner moles, which together, form an outer and inner harbour. The distance between the heads of the breakwaters is 47.5m. A yacht and small crafts harbour also lies within the breakwaters. Exports include crushed quartz and cereals, the principal imports are oil, coal and fertilisers.

Summer Zone for ships over 100m in length and Winter Zone for ships of 100m or less. Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

This port is situated on the E coast of the province of Skane, on the SE coast of Sweden in the Baltic Sea.

Max draught 5.0m.

Approx 93 vessels and 208,000t of cargo handled annually.

Anchorage may be obtained during fresh W winds in depths of 15.0m, sand and clay, with good holding ground, in Tobiasviken, N of the harbour but anchoring is prohibited within approx 0.3nm between N and E of the harbour entrance.

Approach steering WSW and when 2nm from Simrishamn harbour bring a windmill, in the town, over the entrance, bearing 252°. The line leads well S of Nedjan, a 2.7m shoal lying 1.25nm NE of Simrishamn Lighthouse, which is marked on its E side by Nedjan Lightbuoy (E cardinal, pillar) and on its S side by a buoy (S cardinal, spar) and on its W side by a buoy (W cardinal, spar). The leading line is marked by red triangular beacons on the same posts as the leading lights, this leads between a series of port and starboard hand spar buoys up to the harbour entrance. At night, from the same position, the approach is made on the alignment 249.5° with the leading lights; Front Light (red triangle on metal framework tower, elevation 10m) 55°33.5'N 014°21.1'E. Rear Light (red triangle on metal framework tower, elevation 12m), 105m apart. The alignment leads WSW, passing, (with position from Simrishamn Light, white tower, 15m in height (55°33.5'N 014°21.6'E)). SSE of Nedjan (1.25nm ENE) a shoal patch marked on by lightbuoys (cardinal). A wreck with a depth of 17.0m over it lies 1.75nm E of the harbour entrance. SSE of a wreck with depths of 10.0m over it, 0.7nm NE, then, between the buoys, (lateral), marking the channel off the entrance. Simrishamn Light may be difficult to identify from seaward due to the bright background lights from the fishing quay. Once inside the outer harbour, in depths of 4.0 to 5.5m, the inner harbour is entered through a 30m wide gap between the heads of the inner mole, This manoeuvre requires a sharp and difficult turn. The small craft harbour, whose entrance is marked by buoys, is entered to the NW of the outer harbour. When past the moleheads alter course N to clear the E pier of the inner harbour.

BA 2360. Admiralty Pilot NP19. NP286(2).

A lifeboat is stationed at Simrishamn and a line throwing apparatus is kept in the harbour.

Pilots are available from Ahus and board vessels outside the outer shoals. Vessels should not attempt to enter during strong E winds if the pilot cannot be embarked.

Simrishamn Light Beacon in line (1.1nm S) which marks an outfall pipe. Radio mast (red light, 2.2nm NW).

Prevailing winds: W'ly.
