Container ships at risk in TSS Terschelling-German Bight in heavy N to NW seas
Warning text
Analysis
No longer in forceAuthorities warn that containerships transiting the TSS Terschelling-German Bight may lose containers or touch the seabed in heavy seas from the north to northwest. If significant wave height exceeds 3.0 m, containerships must take appropriate measures and alter course to avoid being beam-on to the waves. If wave height exceeds 4.0 m, containerships longer than 200 m are recommended to use the alternative route via TSS East Friesland and German Bight western approach. Mariners should monitor sea state and navigate accordingly.
