Approach

The approach channel and harbour are dredged to 7.0m.

The port is approached on leading lights through a narrow channel which leads to a turning basin off the NE side of the mole head, both of which are dredged to a depth of 7.0m.

Leading Lights: Front Light at an elevation of 7m, from a post surmounted by a red triangle, situated on the E side of the mole head and the Rear Light (white tower 11m in height) from Orehoved Light Tower. In line these lights bear 272.5° and lead through the dredged channel across Vedby Hage, the shoal bank with a least depth of 1.5m, fronting the approaches to the harbour. This alignment also leads approx 0.15nm S of the buoy (E Cardinal), moored approx 0.6nm ENE of Orehoved Light Tower, which marks the E side of a detached shoal with a depth of 5.3m over it.

The channel is marked by 6 buoys (green conical and red can), disposed 3 on each side, the outermost pair (with topmarks) are moored approx 0.5nm E of Orehoved Light Tower.

Anchorages

Anchorage is available at Bredegrund, approx 2nm from Orehoved.
