The BfS also states: "Positions S1) to S5) are marked by g/r/g light buoys (yellow, Blz. (2+1) 15s) with g. horizontal cross. Shipping is requested to keep sufficient distance. Increased attention, caution and consideration are requested. Adverse circumstances may necessitate a change of date at short notice.

The Danish "notice to mariner" must be observed for Danish waters. The Danish Maritime Authority Søfartsstyrelsen provides a very good overview of all current nautical information in Danish waters on a interactive map.
