Hinweise Elbe Geesthacht bis Dove Elbe - Navinfo near Hamburg (Ochsenwerder)

Information

Below the Geesthacht barrage, the tides of the North Sea determine the water depth. In the buoyed fairway up to km 607.5, they amount to 2.2 m at mean tidal NW and can rise to 5.8 m (and more) at tidal HW.

Caution: The specified WT of 2.2 m at mean tidal NW applies only to the buoyed main fairway. Shore areas, side arms, harbours and jetties are excluded and may run dry. Without local knowledge, areas outside the fairway should be avoided, or only approached at high tide (observe the tide calendar).

Below Billwerder Bay, the port of Hamburg should only be navigated by seagoing pleasure craft. As a result of wind, tides and heavy shipping traffic, heavy swells can occur in the following section of the Elbe.

The navigation depth in the Norderelbe at MTH is 4.8 m, the mean tidal range is 3.5 m.

The fairway depth of the South Elbe at MTH is 4.7 m, the average tidal range is 3.5 m.

In the tide-independent Dove Elbe, which can be navigated as far as Bergedorf, you will find guest moorings, some with good service, and supply facilities at numerous yacht, sailing and sports boat clubs. Target depth at MW 1.5 m, DH 4 m, zHg 8 km/h.
