Dyre Våg (Dyrevåg/Dyrevågen) is a minor port localized in Norway. It lies along the northwest coast of the country, offering certain maritime infrastructure for handling shipping activities.

Here are some general descriptions and specifications for understanding Dyrevåg port:

Location:

  • Country: Norway
  • Region: Møre og Romsdal, or a similar coastal region based on nearby geographical designations
  • Coordinates: Typically mapped precisely using maritime navigation charts.

Infrastructure:

  • Type: Small harbor/marine port
  • Primary Use: This port likely supports small-scale local fishing, recreational boating, and may serve as a minor commercial hub for regional logistics.
  • Mooring Facilities: Expect basic quayside with bollards and mooring lines, possibly several small jetties or pontoons.
  • Water Depth: Suitable for small to medium vessels, often not deep enough for large cargo ships. More specifics would depend on hydrographic surveys.

Accessibility:

  • Navigational Aids: Depending on the specificity, lighthouse, buoys, and beacons might be used to guide vessels.
  • Channel: There could be a dredged channel to maintain safe navigation into the port for vessels of specific drafts.

Services:

  • Loading/Unloading: Generally manual or small cranes, facilitated mainly for fishing vessels and possibly supply boats.
  • Storage Facilities: Limited, primarily seafood storage or minor goods warehouses.
  • Repair Services: Basic mechanical services might be available, largely supporting fishing and small commercial craft.

Regulatory:

  • Operating Authority: Likely managed by a regional or municipal port authority with compliance to Norwegian maritime regulations.
  • Security: Potential for low-level security suited for local operations but governed by national standards for port safety and customs control.

Communication:

  • Port Control: VHF radio communications frequently used between port authority and incoming/outgoing vessels.
  • Emergency Services: Coordinated with local coast guard and search & rescue services.

Environmental Considerations:

  • Waste Disposal: Adherence to MARPOL (Marine Pollution) guidelines and local environmental policies for waste management.
  • Pollution Control: Local protocols for oil spills and marine hazards, propped with regional environmental protections.

Navigation Restrictions:

  • Weather Dependency: Given its Northern location, weather conditions such as ice, fog, strong winds, and currents might influence operational efficiency.
  • Operational Hours: Small ports like this may not operate on a 24-hour basis, with restrictions based on seasonal daylight and tidal movements.

For updated and detailed specifications, mariners should consult the latest Norway Port Handbook, nautical publications, or directly contact the relevant port authority.
