Clearance

All authorities are in the port.

Docking

Due to rebuilding of the port it will be inaccessible for all vessels except ferries to and from Sweden in the period of July 1st 2008 to the end of August 2010.

As this is a busy ferry port, vessels must call the Port office on VHF channel 12 before entering or leaving.
