Are you heading to the Baltic Sea this year? With the DKW German Bight and DKW German Baltic Coast, you'll have a reliable and up-to-date base for your trip.

The 2026 editions are now available! Thanks to the included updates, you'll always navigate with the latest data. For the German Bight, even weekly, ideal for these dynamic and turbulent waters.

Due to a reorganization of the (paper) charts at the BSH and a collaboration with the UKHO, there were significant differences compared to the previous edition. Our cartographer has created the charts so that they neatly align with the other charts.

30 charts have been added, 51 charts removed, and 34 charts modified, particularly for the North Sea and the ports of Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, and Willemshaven. The charts of the North Frisian Islands (near the Danish border) have also been updated.

Tip: The BSH (Dutch Maritime Authority) now advises against sailing through wind farms. This has also been changed on the charts .

  

Seven charts have been added, five charts have been removed, and 91 charts have been modified. Changes have been made primarily to the Baltic Sea charts . The detailed charts of Warnemünde and Rostock, as well as Heiligenhafen, have also been modified.
