Wind and visibility restrictions, Port of Oxelösund
Max size vessel (m) 230 x 43 -250 x 45
Visibility >2NM
At average winds between 6-9 m/s, SMA pilots will make an evaluation whether the vessel can be safely navigated through fairways and in port. This evaluation is based on previous calls to the pilot area, direction of wind, daylight, current sail area and other factors effecting the maneuverability of the vessel. The evaluation is made as soon as possible after pilot has been booked, however factors may change and so also the decision to enter port or not.
At average winds exceeding 9 m/s, SMA pilots will not accept pilotage.
