In addition to details of the new routing measures, new paper chart 121 also provides improved scale coverage of Skagen and Ålbæk Bay, where deep draft vessels carry out ship-to-ship transfer operations of cargoes such as oil, liquid gas and other bulk goods.
New chart notes detailing the minimum depth and maximum draughts of the recommended and deep-

Electronic Charts new editions.
In 2020 the Danish Geodata Agency and the Swedish Maritime Administration released new editions of the electronic charts (ENC), which presents the new routeing system and the changes to navigational aids.
The new editions of ENCs allows the shipping industry to deal with the major changes brought about by the routeing system. Including the changes to the navigational aids.
The Danish Geodata Agency's paper chart no. 100 gives a good overview of all the route system elements in Kattegat. Although as a navigator you usually carry out route planning using the ENC and ECDIS, it can be advantageous to obtain this paper map well in advance of the new route system being established.
Notes on minimum depth and maximum draft for the recommended routes and deep water routes are available in the new versions of ENC. They are associated with the individual route elements and can be called up using the function Pick Report.
