A new edition of the Danish List of Lights has been published that provides the readers with a complete overview of the lights around Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The 2015 edition replaces the previous List of Lights from 2013.
Lights with fixed flashes, lights with very fast flashes or how about lights with a Morse code. Danish lights come in many different variants and designs, and you can read about all of them in the new publication "Danish List of Lights 2015" (in Danish).
The List contains descriptions of the 2216 lights, which is 49 lights more than two years ago. Inter alia, the new bridge in the innermost part of Odense Fjord, Odins Bridge, with 14 signals increases the number.
More than just lights
In addition to the lights mentioned, the Danish List of Lights also contains overviews of racons, AIS aids to navigation as well as DGPS reference stations. Navigators primarily use the List of Lights for route planning and navigation together with other maritime publications.
As a coastal State, Denmark is obliged to keep the List of Lights updated in accordance with IMO regulations.
The new edition has been published on Friday 12 June.
