If you want to follow current shooting exercises or other warnings in Denmark, you can use a clear online map. There is also a corresponding app.

It could hardly be simpler. The Danish Maritime Authority (Søfartsstyrelsen) offers an online Map which displays all important warnings for recreational boaters. You can simply zoom into the desired sailing area and call up the information. Although this service is only available in Danish and English, any translation tool can be used if you have language problems.

All relevant information for recreational boaters in Denmark combined on one map

Both nautical warnings (Navigational Warnings), such as those relating to firing exercises, and local notices to mariners, such as bridge closures or dredging work, are published. What is somewhat cumbersome to find in BSH and ELWIS works in the same way. here playfully easy. First click on the English flag symbol, then on Map and you're ready to go. www.nautiskinformation.soefartsstyrelsen.dk

Also on the free app SejlSikkert the warnings and notices to mariners in Denmark are available, but only in Danish.

The app is available for the Android and iOS operating systems from Apple.
