Special provisions
The Port of Kalundborg encourages all ships in the port area to contribute to ensuring the passage of ships past each other.
Ships equipped with VHF should establish a listening watch on VHF, channel 16 while sailing to and from port facilities between the Kalundborg Port area and Asnæs NW-Flak.
During navigation, ships over 100 GRT should report on VHF, channel 16, their incoming passage at Asnæs NW-Flak or their outgoing passage immediately after departing from the quay.
The Danish Maritime Authority's BEK. no. 1316, Executive Order on navigation etc. in certain Danish waters, applies to all navigation within the port area with the exception of §14, which states that the outgoing ship must wait for the incoming ship. This means that outgoing ships do not have to wait for the incoming ships in the area of the Port of Kalundborg.
