Approach

Approach to harbour is by Mollegab, passing W of Dejro, from where two separate dredged channels lead to the harbour, or passing E of Dejro.

Directions for entering harbour: The alignment 196.25° of Aeroskobing Havn Leading Lights leads SSW from the vicinity of the buoy (safe water), moored approx 1nm from the harbour entrance, passing ESE of Aeroskobing Light Beacon (starboard hand, 2m in height) (54°54.2'N 010°25.1'E) at the N end of Mollegab, then through the channel, marked by buoys (lateral), to the harbour entrance.

Alternatively, from a position approx 0.4nm from the front light, the track of the deeper channel, 25m in width, leads SSE and SSW to the harbour entrance.

Caution: Larger vessels using Mallegab approach require to deviate from the above alignment to keep in the deepest water as the channel passes between Dejro and Odden.
