Information

The new North Sea Navigation Ordinance (NordSBefV) serves to protect nature as well as the animal and plant world and is essentially divided into three areas: navigation bans, behavior in protected areas and speed limits.

In general, you are free to sail and anchor outside the protected areas!

  1. No boating:

Within the protected areas, the use of windsurfers is only permitted in designated areas (marked on the NV map); water skiing, jet skiing and parasailing are generally prohibited.

All year round, boating outside the fairways is only permitted on the specified protected area routes 1 and 2, which are shown in gray dashed lines on the NV map. During the protection periods for seals, birds or seagrass beds, a general navigation ban applies in the special protection areas, with the exception of the marked fairways. Navigation is permitted in Zone 1, but falling dry is only permitted in designated areas (marked with a red anchor on the NV map) and within a radius of 200m. The previous 3-hour rule for zone 1 no longer applies.

Leaving watercraft in protected areas is only permitted in special exceptional cases.

  1. Speed limits:

A maximum of 12 knots is permitted between the mainland and the islands and Halligen. Depending on the permissibility of navigation, a maximum of 8 knots is permitted in special protection areas outside the fairways. A maximum of 16 knots is permitted in fairways outside special protection areas. Only commercially used watercraft may travel at up to 24 knots in high-speed corridors or certain fairways under specific conditions.
