  • Coordinate systems at sea

    For safe navigation at sea, it is important to know your position as well as the positions of obstacles. Positions are expressed in coordinates. Positions at sea are expressed in latitude and longitude, and height or depth with respect to a specified water level. Coordinates are only meaningful if you know the coordinate system they refer to. These are the so-called coordinate reference systems. Mariners have to know which coordinate reference system to use for positioning.

  • Coördinatenstelsels op zee

    Voor veilige navigatie op zee is het belangrijk uw positie en die van obstakels te weten. Posities worden uitgedrukt in coördinaten. Op zee zijn dat vaak geografische lengte en breedte, en hoogte of diepte ten opzichte van een vastgestelde waterstand. Coördinaten hebben alleen betekenis als het coördinatenstelsel bekend is waaraan zij refereren. Dit zijn de coördinatenreferentiestelsels. Een zeevarende moet weten welk coördinatenreferentiestelsel hij gebruikt voor plaatsbepaling.

  • IJskaarten

    IJsvorming op de vaarweg kan ernstige vertraging veroorzaken voor de scheepvaart. Daarnaast kunnen zogenaamde "ijsdammen" zorgen voor overstromingen. De ijstoestand op de Waddenzee, zeearmen en IJsselmeer is ook afhankelijk van de wind en/of het getij. De berichtgeving op deze pagina omvat de ijsberichtgeving voor de binnenwateren. Op de ijskaart van Nederland is de bevaarbaarheid van vaarroutes aangegeven. De kaart wordt dagelijks ververst zolang er ijs op de binnenwateren ligt en de binnenvaart er mogelijk hinder van ondervindt. Onder de kaart treft u een legenda aan met de verklaring van de in de kaart gebruikte lijnen, kleuren en codes (Vaarweginformatie).

  • Cartes des glaces

    La formation de glace sur les voies navigables peut ralentir considérablement la navigation. En outre, des embâcles peuvent être à l'origine d'inondations. Le niveau des glaces dans la Mer des Wadden, les bras de mer et l'IJsselmeer dépend également du vent et/ou des marées. Les avis présents sur cette page concernent les avis de glace pour les eaux intérieures. La navigabilité des routes est indiquée sur la carte des glaces des Pays-Bas. Cette carte est actualisée chaque jour tant qu'il y a de la glace sur les eaux intérieures, et que cela peut gêner la navigation intérieure. Sous la carte, une légende clarifie les traits, couleurs et codes utilisés (Service d'information sur les chenaux/Vaarweginformatie).

  • Ice charts

    Ice on the waterways can cause serious delays for shipping. In addition, so-called "ice dams" can cause flooding. The ice situation on the Waddenzee, estuaries and IJsselmeer also depends on the wind and/or the tide. The notifications on this page relate to ice notifications for the inland waters. The ice chart of the Netherlands shows the navigability of courses of navigation. The chart is updated on a daily basis for as long as there is ice on the inland waters and inland shipping may be affected by it. The key to the symbols underneath the map explains the lines, colours and codes used on the chart (Fairway Information Services/Vaarweginformatie).

    IALA har en anbefaling for hvordan sektorene på ei fyrlykt bør være inndelt for å være intuitiv og gi en god forutsigbarhet (IALA Guideline 1041 - Sector Lights Ed 3.0). Kystverket har besluttet å tilpasse seg denne anbefalingen, og starter å endre på sektorene fra 2019. Arbeidet er ventet å være ferdig innen utgangen av 2025. Prinsipp for anbefalingen er: Når en sjøfarende stevner mot en fyrlykt i hvit sektor, skal sektoren på styrbord side være grønn, og sektoren på babord side skal være rød. Dette gjelder uansett hvilken himmelretning man kommer fra.
