 Reference chart: German Chart No: 40 (6th Edition, 1998)

Note This chart is based on World Geodetic System 1984 Datum (WGS-84)

 The new traffic separation scheme (TSS) in Bornholmsgat consists of:

  • Two traffic lanes 2.7 miles wide in three parts;
  • One intermediate traffic separation zone 0.8 miles wide in three parts;
  • Two associated inshore traffic zones;
  • One precautionary area between the three parts.

 The direction (T) of navigation is:

  • TSS, main part between Sweden and Bornholm: 038° northeastbound course and 218° southwestbound course; and
  • TSS, south west part: 071° and 038° northeastbound courses and 218° and 251° southwestbound courses; and
  • TSS, west part: 093° eastbound course and 273° westbound course.
