This paper describes presently applied sailing rules and environmental conditions on Danish waters such as Kattegat and the Sund. Those rules were established in late 70’s of the twentieth century by Danish authorities as Denmark is a coastal country and has the legal right to do so. Presently International Maritime Organization – IMO is in the process of approving a new set of routeing measures and traffic separation schemes which should comply with resolution A.257(14) – General provisions on ships’ routeing, and will be introduced by Organization.References
