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

Editor News & Panorama

Morten Strauch was born in Schleswig in 1977, but grew up mainly in Lüneburg. He joined the Boy Scouts so that he could take part in a youth sailing camp in the Stockholm archipelago. After an internship at BOOTE magazine, he dropped out of his communications design studies, followed by 13 years as a freelance photographer and author for BOOTE, BOOTE Exclusiv and YACHT. In 2019, he was hired by Hanseyachts to serve as press spokesman and marketing manager. Consequently, the long-awaited first boat becomes a Hanse 291. Three and a half years later, he returns to Delius Klasing, this time as an editor for YACHT in the Panorama department. When not (also) privately on the water, Morten can be found scuba diving or collecting fossils on the coast.
