Recently the marina “Jachtclub Scheveningen” and Scheveningen Traffic Center (STC) agreed on the following on entering Scheveningen harbour:

1. Always call Scheveningen Traffic Center before leaving the inner harbour (“Tweede Haven”) or before entering the harbour from the sea.

Altijd Melden op kanaal 21 voordat de Tweede haven words verlaten of voordat vanuit
zee de mounding words ingevaren;

2. Stand by on VHF 21 until you are inside the inner harbour (“Tweede Haven”). Respond as soon as possible on VHF call from Scheveningen Traffic Center.

3. Inside the harbour area, it is mandatory to have your engine running and working, also when you are entering the harbour under sail. If entering the harbour with engine and sails please mention on VHF 21 to STC. It is agreed not to show the cone when entering the harbour with sails and working engine, there it is requested to mention soon VHF 21.

4. You can hoist or lower the sails in the outer harbor (“Eerste haven” or the “Derde Haven”) if this cannot be done while entering the harbour but one is requested to enter the outer harbour far enough so that you are clearly visible by another vessel that is coming in or going out the outer harbour.

5. It is possible that Scheveningen Traffic Center asks you to lower or hoist your sails at sea due to ship moments inside the harbour or due to an emergency situation. If it the opinion of the skipper that it is not safe to lower or hoist your sails you can consult Scheveningen Traffic Center on VHF 21 and the might ask you to wait to enter or leave the harbour.

6. Always make sure there is good communication with STC on VHF 21
