From 1 July, the navy will be conducting firing exercises in the area around Rügen. WSA Stralsund has set up two fixed training areas for this purpose.

How the Stralsund Waterways and Shipping Authority in his Notice to mariners (T) 74/11 military exercises must be expected in the two areas mentioned below from 1 July until the end of the year. In Area 1, artillery and missiles will be fired at sea and air targets, while torpedo firing will take place in Area 2.

Shooting takes place day and night, depending on the field of fire. There is no cordoning off.

When shooting, the vehicles involved display the NE4 signal in accordance with the international signalling book. If a vessel approaches the target in the dark in a dangerous manner, the target tug shoots flares with white stars and illuminates the target. Vessels taking part in the shooting must carry the lights and signalling devices prescribed in the KVR and the SeeschStrO. Shipping is requested to pay increased attention.
