Notes
- Chamber lock with a bascule bridge between the North Sea and Ringkøbing Fjord; call the Havnevagt before passing (name, length, draught). Inbound vessels wait for outbound ones.
- Passages at 07:30, 09:30, 11:30, 13:30, 15:30 and 17:30, at weekends and on public holidays the last at 15:30; from 1 April to 30 October also at 21:30 (book by 20:00), assumed here on weekdays only.
- The approach from seaward is dangerous in strong onshore winds (breakers over the bar); strong current in the channel when the drainage sluice is open.
