OCIMF has released a Information Paper as Guidelines for Large Ships Transiting the Danish Straits through the Great Belt. There has been an increased flow of large ships carrying hydrocarbon cargoes transiting the deep-water route of the Danish Straits (Route T) since 2022.
Mariners passing through the Danish Straits via the Great Belt – the western, deeper strait – face challenging navigational conditions, including water depth, currents, climatic conditions and traffic density. These conditions can be minimised through good organisational and navigational planning.
Please go through the published paper from the link for full details.
